"You sure love to speak bambini, but you don't have half the intel I have on our olive eyed fellows. Regardless, and onto a more at hand subject, I don't believe they'll go so far as to have a massive destruction biochemical weapon. Lyon's won't compromise their image lunching a giant rocket into the sky. They'll probably make some sort of mild poison to distribute somehow, so that it appears a normal disease, a punishment from the christian god to mutants and gays." Uomo chuckles. "I'm sure that if they could get gays in the same bag they will." he sighs. "The world has become a sad place of late" he adds. Then he opens his coat and motions to some hidden pocket. Felix thinks another notepad and more homework will soon appear, but this time, it's a shiny, chromed pistol. Pretty big gun too. "We'll have some fun anyway!" Vittorio says cheerfully as he begins loading and oiling the weapon.

"Yeah," Cassandra said, slouching down in her seat. "This is super fun. It's six of one, half a dozen of another to me. They both sound like awful missions that no sane person would ever want to do...so I guess it's up to us to do them. I need to file a story though, or I'll get fired. Is it okay to use wireless in here?" She looks around. "I don't want to give us away to spy satellites or anything."

Uomo smiles at the woman. "Don't get the blue Cassandra! You got Grid here" Uomo demolishes Grid's back with a slap in the shoulders. "He can get your file anywhere without anyone noticing."

"Nice to have so many professionals around... but why would they use headshots for instance? I always heard armed forces train to aim at the center mass.
Do we have any real information about the lab, or is our plan to go in guns blazing?
I mean Grid here alone could hack into a satellite to give us an above view. Or even ifrared inside, if he can get a military satellite."

Frost asks, not sure about any real training anyone around got. They seemed to stumble from one situation into the next..

Laura sighs for relief after Phoenix agreed to wait. After being escorted into the car, she waits giving the missions much thought, and listening to others. "I understand the importance of the lab, possible extinction of all life, but it's a girl in danger. Isn't there anything we could do? Like sending someone that anyone here knows to help, like big man here did for me? she motions to Uomo There must be something that can be done about her that we can help.

[sblock=OoC] Voda, controlling what another player’s PC dos or thinks, without permission, is not only rude to the character’s RPer, it can also undermine the character’s character and implies you own their character: you’re doing things with it without permission as if it is yours. I’d ask you use more tact in your posts. You could have easily written something like:
“-Then he opens his coat and motions to some hidden pocket. Presumably for another notepad, with more homework for Felix, but this time, it's a shiny, chromed pistol.-”
Instead of:
“-Then he opens his coat and motions to some hidden pocket. Felix thinks another notepad and more homework will soon appear, but this time, it's a shiny, chromed pistol.-“

The former allows each player to have their character to make their own assumptions at each stage of the post while getting your point across, the latter forces not only an outcome but a mindset out of another player’s PC without any consent.

Please avoid such abuses in the future. -_-[/sblock]

Felix started to extend his hand, but then flinched and grimaced as the chrome caught the light; was Uomo trying to give him a heart attack!? Felix’s breath quicken for a moment before he calmed back down, he scrunched his brows at Uomo and then turned to face Cassandra who he had not yet been paid much attention to overall; he allowed his expression to ease again. “Anyways, any sane person would want to take on either mission, one after the other in fact, if not both at the same time!” he chimed with gee as if with reckless abandon before tempering his comment with perking ears and a grin “however few will ever have the opportunity to live out their action hero fantasies, that you should have asked yourself is what a sane person would do if they had to choose to do one over the other, or walk away and fade into the background while knowing that instead of making the world a brighter place like they know they should have, they’ve allowed it to sink into misery through inaction? A truly sane person is good at heart, and wants a brighter would. This choice should not be rushed to unless you’re sure of it. That you’re unsure as to what you should do only shows that you’re thinking it through, none can ask more than that” he chimed almost cheeringly before turning his head back towards Laura, “As for the girl, we can help her after the lab, if we hurry we’ll only lose a few hours.” He said happy, before at last turning his face towards Uomo and scrunching his brow again “You know… it’s kind of rude to hold a cannon in your hand, load it, and then turn to someone and smile…” he mumbled beneath his breath while turning away, he clerical around on his seat for a moment on all four and then kneaded it for a moment before curling up and lying down within the bounds of his seat, still not buckled in, and having no plans of bucking himself in until he needed to resume human form.


Finally he poked his head up and tirdly said “Their guarding a facility, potentially against metas who may have exceptionally tough bodies, the head has the most vulnerable points that assure an instant kill, their go for a body shot if they have to, but the odds are their expert marksmen who will nail you in the head if your aren’t running, zinging and zaging their lead you and shoot you were you have no armor, seen, suspected, or otherwise: if they can do so reasonably they will shoot you in the eye if not the nose were the human body is most vulnerable." as his eyes stared to close contently, he then eased his head back down and and sank into the seat for a cat nap.

"Trained snipers, yes. Otherwise, they go for the center mass. Much bigger target than a head, epically with automatic weapons. This goes double for supers, who are as likely to be super-naturally quick and agile as tough and resistant to shots."

[sblock=OOC] I'll do that if you watch your writing, deal? It's painful to read.[/sblock]

"I have no connections in China unfortunately." Uomo laments. "You need to understand we are not a police force, we will not take on each crime happening worldwide; it is not possible. If Phoenix wants the girl for something, and we are not available, he will have some other team take the case. This goes for the rest of you; I get the feeling you think you are superheroes. You are not. You are agents, guardians if you will, but not heroes. Heroes are bad news, heroes don't think, they act, and thus they don't measure the consequences of their biased interpretations of reality. I've seen many heroes in my time, I know how to recognize them, and how to take them down. You'll have to learn to do that too, if you hope for a brighter future for mutants. Heroes are alright for movies, we are people, with people problems, that only people can solve." there's no cheerful glee, no humour this time. Agent Nascosto seems dead serious about this, although with this man, it's hard to know for sure.
"And I agree with Frosty here, they'll go for the chest, they have weapons that have punch, it will send you flying back, even if it doesn't kill you. I've been there myself, I mean, on the shooting side."

Cassandra shakes her head at, well, everyone.

"You and I have different notions of the word 'sane,'" she tells Felix. "And different notions of the word 'hero,'" she adds to Uomo. "But I never claimed to be a hero. I'm a reporter...a journalist. I'm doing my best, but I don't follow half of what you guys go on about."

She takes a deep breath, collecting herself.

"The bio-weapon thing sounds more important though. If someone else hasn't handled the Cinese girl by the time we're done with that, then we can do it too, I guess. Though honestly, it seems pretty far outside our skills. I'd be surprised if more than one of us knew any Chinese. And none of us could play the part of a national. So...I guess I'm just hoping a handful of freaky powers can make a handful of otherwise pretty normal people the equal to a squad of highly trained elite soldiers."

She doesn't sound too confident of that.

Terry Quinn, The Grid

Terry recovers from Uomo's backslap after a cough or two, and nods to Cassandra. "I should be able to make sure we've got a clear channel for you. At least one of us should be able to maintain a 'real' life in the middle of all this craziness."

He nods again to Frost's suggestion. "Always happy to try a hack to make sure we've got as much intel as we can," he says. "If we get within a few miles of the place, I may even be able to do a sweep with their own cameras. Hopefully this time we're better prepared."

"And, yeah, I'm no kind of hero. Like a lot of folks, I got these weird powers, and I'm doing what I can to survive the way the world's turned upside down because of 'em."
