[QUOTE="Jemal, post: 5949387, member: 9026"] [sblock=computer] "Just because you weren't there doesn't mean what they did wasn't wrong..." Genie bites her lip, her own form flickering to that of a younger girl, then a large cat, before returning to the 'supermodel' avatar. "But you're right, those agents weren't good guys either. Seems like nobody's on our side. Everybody's got their own agendas." She looks back up at him then "Hey you never really answered! you said you were helping her but you didn't say why you're working with the hive. You could've helped her without them, you guys're really strong." [sblock=Insight 10] Though she seems rather smart, Grid is getting the distinct feeling that 'Genie' is a lot younger than she seems. [/sblock] [/sblock] <Cabin> Phoenix's eyes flicker at Laura's reluctance, but his smile never fades. [COLOR="Teal"]"Of course my dear, wouldn't want to make you uncomfortable. We're all in this together after all. Obviously the sooner we can study your DNA, the sooner we can get the ball rolling, but whenever you're ready.."[/COLOR] He clears his throat and returns his gaze to Uomo [COLOR="teal"]"Well if that's in order, I have two missions I need done quickly, one is a bit less.. noble seeming.. than the other, though I assure you, both are necessary. The driver has mission briefings on both available in the car, just tell him which you'll be pursuing so that we can find someone to perform the other. Now apologies, but I really must get back to my deliberations."[/COLOR] He leans back in his chair then, closing his eyes as he presumably resumes communing with his hive. Once you are back in the van, the Driver hands you two large envelopes full of information. [sblock=Mission 1] The Lyon's foundation has been secretly funding a laboratory seeking to find a 'cure' for mutation. The real secret however, is that they're really searching for a biochemical way to target those with mutated genes and eliminate them. Phoenix would like you to put a stop to their research, and/or find a way to deter future such projects. The lab is located in Las Vegas, and is heavily guarded by a hired mercenary company. Independant research shows that there is indeed a Lab doing 'mutation normalization' research, though there is very scant evidence (A few odd chemical orders and the 'security') that they are working on chemical weapons. The mercenary company protecting the facility is notoriously ruthless, highly trained, and very expensive - A bit of overkill for such a supposedly 'humanitarian' enterprise. [/sblock] [sblock=Mission 2] The daughter of a prominent Chinese businessman was kidnapped two days ago. Chinese authorities have little to go on, and no ransom or communication from the kidnapper has arisen yet, though it has been confirmed that he is a mutant. Chinese feelings towards mutants have been very neutral, but this incident is starting to garner animosity. If the young girl is rescued by other mutants, it may help sway them away from support of anti-mutant groups. Not to mention the debt of the wealthy father. Independent research shows that the businessman is head of a software firm. They have no known connection to anti-mutant groups. Security footage Grid is able to hack into from their estate shows a masked figure with super-human strength wading through guards to steal the girl, shrugging off bullets as he goes. Most definitely a mutant. [/sblock] [ooc] OK, so I'll likely be out of communication for the next week, during that time feel free to deliberate amongst yourselves (In and out of character) as to which mission you feel like pursuing, or if you want to cut out on Phoenix and return to Gryphon/do something else. I've put some of the extra info I figured you'd ask about into the two missions, the information I figured your characters would be able to quickly gather with their own impressive skills. I presume you'll have more questions that I hadn't forseen, but there should be enough info to at least get the discussions rolling. I know first sentiment will be to go save the young girl, but if you haven't already thought it, Uomo would be thinking that they have no motive on WHY the girl was taken, or if she's even in any danger, while the lab is much closer, and a (slightly) more credible threat. Also, if you guys don't trust Phoenix to be able to handle either of these properly, keep in mind you do have other resources you could try to call in to handle one of them, if you so choose, but do so wisely as it may tip your hand. After I return and you've picked your next course of action, I'll be starting a new thread for the next chapter, and you'll each be getting a few points of my choosing determined by your actions, how you handled phoenix, and which course you choose next.
