Superheroes of the Trust Game Thread III

Great government agent caught in china.... Hope grimances inwardly. Sucky much? she looked at Black.

"I'm going to need some heavy magical camoflague in order to work in China. They have their own mages, all it'll take is one with the bright idea and the gift of looking at magickal signatures....."

Though she rarely had to use her more offensive powers as an agent, there were times when she had to.

Those would be documented. She had to assume that. Here, she had been very careful while in public not to use the same powers she displayed as a Aegis Agent.... Still.....

Blue suddenly says "...wait a minute...I think we can get you to be a bit more anonymous...all of you...we can make some new combat suits from Ares' database with the matter assembler. He's sold that stuff all over the place. Perhaps a dark armored bodysuit with a passive cloak, some minor gadgets, and a that visor integrated. We can slap on a fake logo, and boom, anonymous generic strike team. We might even be able to disguise your powers. Hope will be the easiest, since she can shoot lightning. Black has an arsenal of weapons that draw electricity form his lightning power. We can just make some cosmetic changes to one, and hope will have a blaster instead of a lightning attack. We might be able to disguise some others, to...hmmm...."

 

[Fangor the Fierce]

"Sounds like this might work better for us all. Star's ability to shoot around corners would be a blessing. Also, as for Control Freak getting access to them, if there was a way to limit it to only generating incoming images, and not allow outgoing image, perhaps that would suffice. Some kind of triggering alarm for anything besides these linked visors with HUD getting access or accessing their views would allow Optic to override them, or easily alert us to comprimising situations. We could then just as easily take them off and stow them. Any kind of advantage would be better than nothing. If we deem them compromised, take them off. Seems pretty easy to me, but I'm not as adapt as Optic or our resident electronics super."

"Now, we can take the time that it will take to get them ready to go over our tactics, in case retreating is going to be done on a spur of the moment basis."

Wren will test out his teleporting with the new ally, and await the new HUD option visors. For his suit, he accepts any type available. Also, he will try out his new power alterations to help disguise him as much as possible as well.

"I can just avoid any signature Nitro moves like a kick in the balls."

No one else can understand what it's like to have to forgo your signature moves like that. No one. Ever. Never. Such awesomeness can't be controlled; it can only be unleashed on hapless foes and you hope that the wounds heal, so that they're not all singing soprano forever.

"Good idea, also we could use some time to practice working together. Every battle we've fought in, we've basically been doing our own thing. Which is why we've been getting so badly hurt. No coordination." Hope offers.

"I don't know- Star and I tag-teamed Pharoah pretty well that last fight. Sometimes it's like we aren't reacting well to what's happening in real time and are going based on our preset notions of what's going to be occurring, even if events have turned out differently. That we should work on"

Hope grinned. "I've been practicing on alternative attacks, since the Foundry. I can now switch between lightning, ice and air at will. That goes for my ability to create objects too," she tapped her fingers on the table. "It's generally known that 'Hope Winters' can only use the lightning strike and the hail attack, if we use the objects as well as that facet, I might be able to slip through." she frowned.

"My lightning strike derives from my ability to control weather. I have no ability at all to control electricity." she said thoughtfully. "I can however direct the strike from anywhere. I could use the weapon as a prop if nothing else."

"Everywhere including your fingertips....You can channel it into a weapon that will do plasma blasts or lasers or whatever t odisguise you attack"

"It'd take some practice, but I'm willing to give it a go," she said.

 

[G. Skylark]

"New suits? Smashing. I 'ardly feel like a super'ero in these," says Skylark, ostensibly referring to her somewhat oversized lab coat. "An' I would be 'appy to practice teleporting wit' Mr. Wren."

"Returning, for the moment, to this issue of flushing Mr. Markum out... from the two options described, it sounds as though we either rely on his initiative, or his carelessness. Is there anything we think likely to draw him out? Rumours of CIA involvement, that 'e would feel compelled to investigate, maybe?"

 

[Victim]

"I can just avoid any signature Nitro moves like a kick in the balls."

"My own powers are going to be a little harder to disguise, since most energy attacks tend to a bit more straightfoward. If I just shoot straight, then a prop blaster thing could work though," Star remarks. "And I've never fired a gun before, so I probably have it pointed right."

"And wearing an armored suit like that seems really clunky. Plus, where would we put them while we look for that guy - heavy armor like that would be a little suspicious."

"I don't know- Star and I tag-teamed Pharoah pretty well that last fight. Sometimes it's like we aren't reacting well to what's happening in real time and are going based on our preset notions of what's going to be occurring, even if events have turned out differently. That we should work on"

"Yeah, you always knock out the people I shoot, and even Barrington's ship got in on hitting the Pharoah. But what exactly do you mean?"

"You'll have to stash them and change before you raid the factory. We can set up a fake arm cannon that can retract. When it activates, it will cover your hand and make it seem like its blasting the baddie. Wren can easily project his ring attacks through a prop gun with a handguard that covers the ring. Nitro doesnt need anything, since there are plenty of guys out there with super-strength. Apollo with a little practice should be able to channel his light through a fake blaster as well. Fake gravity gun for Skylark Optic's visor already enhances and reroutes his own eye attacks. We can duplicate that in gun form....Most other stuff can be chalked up to suit abilities...the flyers will have fake grav engines on their suits, and I'll pass around some fake grenades that burn up in a big flash and be an excuse for some power going off. I think we're good with fake attacks."

"I don't know what I meant to say there. Sometimes I just say lines for the sake of saying them, as if I was being fed lines like..."

Where do people get fed lines, again? "An actor in a movie, that's it"
