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

[Sen Udo-Mal]

Winter's concentrates and looks around through the eyes of the near by plants Plant control 10 +10 =20 (note normally no roll but just to sort of get an idea of what is around) and gets a flash of some people coming out of the side of a building, up around the fourth floor or so. He see a man clad all in dark clothing (I am going to assume black-and-white "view" only) like the one that he fought in the hallway and a woman floating along wearing a full cloak lead the way. A huge half-man, half-wolf creature with thorns or spikes sticking out from all over his body leaps down to the ground. He is carrying a large machine or computer under one of his arms. Two more flying figures appear last though the hold, another flying woman who seems to have strong winds blowing around her and a man with big bug like eyes and bee wings. They all head for a door with stairs or something that seems to appear out of thin air about 100ft away. They all climb up the stairs and the door closes. The trees and plants around the area then are blown around as if by a powerful wind. The vision then ends.

Jimmy looks at the PDA; about half the face is a screen, and a standard number keypad below it. Jimmy tries to boot it up Computer Skill roll 10 +5 +5 for luck =20 and some weird symbols appear on the screen (he also guess that it is a 3D holo screen when fully activated). He can't get it to do anything else but it appears to be asking for a password. Without some super-duper luck he does not think he could break in.

Winter will describe what he saw, and then try to pinpoint the location in his mind and prepare to teleport there.

"Crap. Looks like they got away with some sort of machine, probably into a time portal or something. I can go and check out the scene, see if they left anything, but I think everything about them is gone. You said you thought they were from the future, right?"

For now, Winter will keep watch over the surrounds as the villains are taken into custody. He'll also try to describe the location that he was looking at, and figure out where it was to direct others who might be teleportation-challenged.

Winter's walks up to a near by tree, closes his eyes with Plant stride, the distance is about 100 yards away, over on the east side of the building and back down the block a bit. You would have to use the extended range to get there so you would be "disoriented" for a round afterwards. The plants there are back to normal, with no wind blowing etc.

Apollo nods listening to Winter, "Sounds like the Chaos Compiler, to me, and for now they got away, with their ill-gotten gains. Anything of use on that PDA?" he adds to Jimmy.

"Hmm. How does this facility get power? External lines?" Security asks the guards. [Assuming that the place does use powerlines. If power is directly transmitted, then he'll make a similar suggestion regarding the receivers] "Those were probably damaged during the intrusion. We should probably check it out because it could be a fire hazard. Use a private line like a sat phone to contact the power company." Thanks alot Apollo.

After hearing Winter describe his vision: "No , I don't believe they used a portal. What if they parked a cloaked vehicle there? They get close, and via remote or someone inside, the door is opened and appears from nowhere. Since they have a number of people, they'd need a large vehicle, so the doors would be elevated. Hence the ramp or stairs. The rush of wind is caused as the engines start and the vehicle takes off."

"I'll go check the power now, I guess."

 

[Tokiwong]

"That is some keen insight, Security," Apollo smiles, "that probably was a vehicle, and if it is, then these criminals have some serious backing!"

"As far as the PDA, I can't get it to run completed but I think its a 3D hologram projector if I could figure it out. Anyone else want a try?" Jimmy asked offering the PDA up.

“Not me, I’m no good with computers.” Harbinger replies to Jimmy. “Any ideas on what we do next?” Harbinger asks the group.

 

[Sen Udo-Mal]

The security guard reply's to Security "Sir, the compound has both an external and internal emergency backup power generator. It is located at Building 3, Sublevel 4. It a brand new Fusion FW generator that should have kicked on if and when external power is lost. I sent a detail there but as all of our comms are out I am not sure what's happening. I could have one of the LAV show you where it is. All the locks throughout the compound have also be disabled. Just can't figure it out, we have state of the art tech here..."

Replying to Harbinger's comment, Marguess says "You could let us go if you wanted there fella. What's it to you what happened here on some corps grounds? Tell you want, say a million dollars could be placed in any of your accounts tonight, all you have to do is take these things off. What do you say? Heck no hard feeling about my bruised rips your stuffed bear over there gave me."

 

[themaxx]

"I'm going to go check out that site, see if we can figure out what happened or where they are headed."

Winter goes back into Radiation form and flies toward the area he was looking at through the plants just a minute ago. He'll get about 15 feet off the ground as well, and look for prints, evidence of who came through, and any potential tracks (to or from) to follow.
