Jimmy returned from the sub-basement search to the lawn in front of the building with the others. "Well, I don't think there was anything in the basements. Nothing I saw anyway. It was rather dark. I saw a low in the building up on the 10th floor on that side - my guess is that's how they left. Uhhmm, should we see if the glowing woman is back on that roof?"

Apollo listens to Jimmy and replies, "I think she will contact us, when the time is right, now is our time, to do some footwork, and some detective work, on just who was behind this, what the Chaos Compiler does, why people have been abducted, and avert a catastrophe... sounds like fun."

"I heard that around the time of some of the disapearences, a figure in black armor was spotted too. The guy that we attacked together and who flew into the building matched that description."
"We might be able to learn something if we interrogated the metas we captured. But the police won't learn anything from them; all they need to do is talk to a lawyer. They'll probably walk too. What if they all say that they heard about some robbery here, and came together because they wanted to be the new Freedom League. They saw the security guards doing something suspicious and tried to stop them, perhaps using excessive force because they don't have full control over their powers. Then some other metas who were already inside the compound attack them - we don't really have any right to be here, afterall. Our fight may have trashed enough of the physical evidence to reduce the entire case into a pair of conflicting eyewitness reports. Eyewitnesses are unreliable. That might be enough that the prosecuetor is forced to plea bargin, maybe for property damage and excessive force in their "heroic" attempt to keep the corrupt security force from robbing the places they're supposed to be protecting. And even if they are thrown in Blackstone, an organized force of metas probably has the resources for a break-in or escape. It happened lots of times in the past."

"Let me see if I can learn something from them. I kinda can look intot he future and see events and stuff. It's pretty limited, but I'll try it," Jimmy offered.
He walked over to Marguese and concentrated on her, looking into her future, then relaying it to the others. He then examined the dude with boots that were obviously compensating for something, and the stony guy.
[OCC: this hopefully will full circle the mistake in the earlier posts where I got to look into her future. Also, for everyone's benefit, Assume I tell you what I find out here so I don't really have to retype stuff

Winter will do a once over of the basements levels, going Incorporeal and seeing through the darkness. Just in case.
"I think we need to do everything we can to track down these individuals and whatever it is they stole. Do we have any leads on where they are going? Jimmy, can you look ahead to find out where they are delivering it to? This whole thing smells like rotten science."
Winter will stay floating for now, to make sure nobody comes to 'check things out' that shouldn't be, and to keep watch for any approaching parties or the mysterious woman.

OCC question - who has the PDA? I am assuming Winter still has it correct?
Jimmy approaches Marguess to get a quick look into 'her' future Rolling a 10 +5 +5=20 (aware of - how long remains before event and the people involved in event) and while the future is ever changing and even in flux, he does get an image of Marguess standing in an room of some kind 40 some hours from now, wearing power-dampening manacles and talking with man in an expensive suit (one Luis Cabot). She is mad and wants to hurt someone while he simply smiles and says "We don't have any time for playing around girl, I will get you out of here by the morning. Our benefactor wishes to stress that you not say anything… lest you are never able to speak again. Oh and to make sure you are nice and happy and additional million has been place in your Swiss account. We trust this is will compensate for any inconveniences that you might have… had, and that you will be available for work tomorrow night." and then snaps back to the presence.
About that time she starts waking up "What sa? Who are you guys anyway? Oh my head is killing me… must have been a good night… Oh man its you guys."
Winters does a quick run of the basement and finds nothing worth noting. You head back to the group.
About then two LAV with in brazened "HH" on the sides. They both set down for a landing not to far away. The security guard who talked with Apollo earlier approaches along with four other guards, all carrying Multi-fire repeating Blaster Rifles. The sergeant guard salutes Apollo saying "Well sir, we were able to secure these vehicles if you want to transport the hostiles. Another unit is heading for Local Office 14, FCPD Inc. and should be back in 10 or 15 minutes. Our comms are still down and the power is off everywhere within the compound. What should we do?"

"I would rather you consult my colleague, Security on that matter, he seems to have a very firm grasp of what needs to be done," he says to the officer, returning the salute, "Thanks for the assistance, thier bonds should hold them for now, but I would hope to get a word with the police, and see if we can question these miscreants about their motives..."

Winter asks, for a second time, "Can anybody figure out what's on this device? I think it might belong to one of the ones who disappeared, but I'm not sure. I found it inside..."
Winter then concentrates for a while, looking around through green eyes to see if any trees or other plants witnessed the villains' escape or have spotted them recently. I wonder where they are headed now...
