RS2: The Tokyo Problem (Velmont Judging)
Gauntlet listens to Nimbus, Gus, Marie, and Scout as they describe their abilities in brief.
"My arms are my primary weapons. I can be lifting about 24 tons without too much trouble. Most useful up close. Am good with wrestling though... Godzilla-sized lizard may being problem. I am having machineguns built in but... I will not using those on people.
Machines inside body let me run fast and jump high, and I am hard to hurt permanently. Can take bazooka blast to chest... usually. If damage is nonlethal, not likely to be staying down for long.
One who... made me this way did not make machine parts just right. Strong magnets make me weak. Because of that I can... feel strong magnetic fields around me.
I am knowing a lot about how buildings are made and how to work machines. Was in construction business... before."

"Yes, is good name. He and I will have much in common, I am thinking," Gus says with a chuckle.
Nimbus stares thoughtfully at the screens showing the monsters.
"How long before we go in, Scout?"
She tears her eyes away from the screens filled with monsters, turning toward Scout. The difference in how she holds herself is obvious. Before, in the Ready Lounge, she was a somewhat shy artist, even when showing what she could do. But this was serious, and it showed in her bearing, at the very least in that she switched from calling the other woman 'Marie,' to her codename, 'Scout.'
"You all might need a minute or two to figure out how to turn this on and off."

[sblock=OOC]@Nimbus: Actually Scout's real name is Ulla-Maria. Marie is Mecha Musume.
Scout replies to Nimbus, "I'll 'port us as soon as we are all aboard the Vigilant and are ready to leave."
Before leaving, Scout speaks to the pilot of the Vigilant and informs him of the situation and the fact that his passengers won't be onboard for most of the trip. She also checks their arrival time and synchronizes the time on her phone.
@Velmont: Are you sure that Nimbus can only affect one person per activation of the power? For example, consider teleport with affect others and progression, in that case it doesn't make any sense to be limited to one person per activation of the power (as long as you can touch/target then all). Is Nimbus's case I would have thought that she could affect up to 10 people with one activation of the power as long as she was touching them all.[/sblock]

Affecting more than a single person with a power is covered with the area extra and the selective power feat. It's just like you ask me if stun can affact more than one target per use... not without the good extra.
But I want to attract your attention on that. Affect others doesn't target a person, it give the power to that person and it has total power over it. So, Nimbus could give the power to everyone in the group and everyone could become invisible or visible at will, just like they had the power, but they still will become all visible if Nimbus is stunned or is unbale to maintain her power.
Same thing for your teleport. That mean someone else could teleport himself just as he has the power yuo have given it, but everyone (inclding you) will need a standard action to use teleport and if you get stun, or decide to use an other teleport in your array, everyone would lose access to teleport.
So, it make a lot of sense that you can affect only one person at a time with affect other, as you don't teleport your target, you give him the power to teleport himself. If you want to teleport a person against his will, it is an attack extra that is needed. For a group, it is an attack extra combine with an area.

I knew I'd be getting the wrong things somehow. Oh well. This works.[/sblock]
"Guess I'll get started then."
Leaning over the table, she touches Scout's hand. She takes her time, to make sure the power takes to each person. Standing, she brushes Maddy's shoulder, followed by Mecha Musume. Mr. Scares gets a smile, and is passed over. Instead, she holds her hand out to Gauntlet.
With each transference, there is no feeling to it. It doesn't feel as if anything has changed.
