Beyond Freedom (M&M PbP) Issue #1 - Loves Lost?!

[OOC: Jimmy was using precog on the lab techs to see if they weren't disguised or left in the bad guys, he wasn't using precog to scan the floors.]

After showing the lab techs were to go, Jimmy continued his search throughout the upper floors. Upon reaching the roof, Jimmy made a quick buzz around the roof then down the side to report in to Apollo, the rock star.

"Uhh, I looked through the upper floors and didn't see anyone. There were two sub basement levels on the map I found. You want me to buzz through those as well?" Jimmy asked, looking really uncomfortable.

Apollo smiled, trying to put Jimmy at ease, "I think it may be wise, any idea what these guys were after, what ever it was, they spared no expense, in trying to get it. I think things out here are under control Jimmy, just waiting for the authorities to arrive..."

Apollo clasps Jimmy's shoulder, "The New Freedom League did some good tonight, Jimmy, those villains didn't even see us coming."
 

"I think it may be wise, any idea what these guys were after, what ever it was, they spared no expense, in trying to get it. I think things out here are under control Jimmy, just waiting for the authorities to arrive..."

"I think they took something called a Chaos Compiler - whatever that is," Jimmy said with a shrug. "Okay, I'm off to search the sub-levels."
 

“Apollo, I dropped Athena at the hospital and got back as soon as I could.” Harbinger says, as he approaches the group. Seeing the three villains unconscious and bound. “But I guess the fights over huh.”

Apollo nods, "Good job Harbinger, I am glad to see she is alright, I lost track of her during the fighting... I take the blame for her injuries."
 

"I don't know what a Chaos Compiler is either," Security states as he lands near the others. "It sounds like a computer designed to handle chaos mathematics - which I don't understand very well. We can check for patents, articles, and press releases to see if they've publicized any info on it."

New Freedom League? Whatever. Some support probably can't hurt. Wait - they didn't see us coming? At least 9 hostile metas were here. What?! That idiot.

"They didn't see us coming? They certainly saw something coming!" He snapped at Apollo. "At least seven people opposed us, plus there seemed to be a couple of extra attacks that I couldn't track back to anyone. Also, some people had to enter the building and actually steal that Chaos Compiler. How many powerful metas do you need to defeat or bypass a conventional, unprepared security force and take something from a mostly empty building? You certainly don't need a whole attack force with powers - unless you expect to run into another such group. They definitely expected some form of powered opposition.

Finally, despite our presence, most of the criminals were able to withdraw under our noses. Apparently, they took what they came for too. That's a very serious problem, if the woman can be trusted. Now we might run into legal difficulties and be denied information from the official investigation. We've lost any element of surprise we had. In short, we're probably worse off than we were an hour ago."
 

Apollo nodded, "I understand, they may have got what they came for, but they know they have opposition now, and I don't think they expected us to do as well as we did. Besides, for a group that came together about 5 minutes prior we did a good job, in my book, we have a long way to go, but if you could I would enjoy to have your expertise on my side, Security."

Ops, they are not bad-guys and you get a flash about the upstairs :)

Jimmy takes off for the sub-levels. Again all the doors are open, no one is around and it is pitch black. Jimmy searches this area and it is mostly parking, along with a maintenance and a security station. Both are empty right now... and there are only about 5 cars parked here.

Daedelus using Gadgets secures the villains. Nor have woken up yet. When he hears from Harbinger he says "Thank you lad, what hospital again? I had better get over there and see what I can do... I will be in touch Apollo. Oh and to all of you, this city needs the Freedom League, it needs you... You might not think so but for your first time you all did a wonderful job. Whatever help you might need, Apollo knows how to get in touch with me."

OCC: d'oh I have that stupid online game on my mind... been playing it to much I guess anyway Freedom League YES of course

“I took her to Freedom Medical Center.” Harbinger responds to Daedelus’ inquiry. Harbinger crouches down and looks over the captured villains and listens to Apollo and Security discuss the situation. When Security mentions the Mysterious woman Harbinger stands up. “Speaking of the mystery woman, what did any of this have to do with the missing people?” Harbinger asks.
 

Apollo nods, "Get the name right Daedelus," he smiles, "New Freedom League, but yes I would enjoy your assistance, your knowledge, will come in handy my friend. Take care," Apollo turns to the others, "I think once this is all mopped up, we need to get together and plan our next step. We can rest assured, the enemy won't be idle."
