With the one gunman unconscious, Loki will turn his attention to the one near the wave generators. His condor illusion will fade, breaking up and turning into a swarm of black bats. The bats will flock down towards the assassin, completely surrounding him. Loki will create enough bats to fill the entire enclosed area.Calinon said:

Vince
You charge Split, who starts weaving his blades before him. But he's not quite prepared for you bodily ramming into him. He strikes you hard in the shoulder as you come in, but you then drive that same shoulder into him even harder.
Split attacks (readied attack) with a 26. Vince's damage save is 17 (19) and Vince takes a lethal hit. Vince attacks and gets a roll of 12 (19) missing. HP to reroll is a 16 (23) and hits. Damage saves are Vince 8 (9) and Split 2. He's unable to use a VP this round for some reason. Vince takes a stun hit and is stunned. Split takes a stun hit and is destroyed.
You shake the cobwebs out of your head a few seconds later, and see you were quite right. Tiny caltrops are strewn on the floor and imbedded in the floor and ceiling for thirty feet down the hall. You can fly through them normally, but walking through them would take you at least thirty seconds.
Johan and Michelle
Johan runs over to check on Anna, who is just coming around. Her armor is pretty much destroyed, and without her wheelchair, she's unable to move on her own. She's got a fairly bad cut on her forehead and her shirt is still smoldering.
She's just hurt, and well, parapalegic.
Another Johan sprints towards where he saw Michelle drop Split's rifle, covering two thirds of the distance. He spots it just past Michelle, laying in the grass.
Still a double move to get to the rifle next round. Another half action to retreive it the round after.
The third instance of Johan sprints towards Monica's room, the closest one with a window smashed out, and the quickest way to get to an ARIS terminal. He knocks glass shards aside carefully and prepares to climb inside.
You can climb in (climb check DC 5 required) next round and try to hack into ARIS again.
Split puts a hand on the top of his gun and pulls a lever. His energy beam begins to pulse audibly, sending bulges of energy through the stream. He cackles as the blast drives Michelle's energy beam back.
VP spent to boost the gun's power, thus why the other Split couldn't spend a VP. Opposed check: Split 18 (32), Michelle 13 (25). The beam is driven back at Michelle five feet.
Feeling the beam press back against her, Michelle presses her powers on as the heat from the meeting energy beams builds. The energy beam creeps steadily closer to Michelle as Split cackles insanely.
Opposed check: Michelle 12 (24), Split 15 (29).
Hoppy thumps his leg, stabilized, as Tara stands up. You hear a buzzing sound as huge swarm of flies and flying insects starts to form. In mere moments, there is a huge cloud of them, sixty feet in diameter, and they start buzzing around the field. Tara walks up the dorm wall to the roof, watching out over the field, directing the swarm, looking for Stryke.
Tara summons swarm, and moves using clinging.
Anna comes to, and is in some obvious discomfort. You help her into a sitting position. Grabbing her utility belt, one of the few pieces of armor on her still, she grabs your arm. "Hold still," she says. Grabbing two long shards of metal, some wire, and a ripping pieces and a power cell from her belt, she ties the shards onto your right arm. The shards stick out a few inches past your fingers, but are blunt and not looking useful to you. Then she attaches the power cell, and your whole arm vibrates slightly as a hum sounds from her work. She attaches a red button to your glove palm, points your arm to the side and makes you close your fist. Electricity spits out in a long stream from both shards of metal.
"Go fry that bastard," she says, pointing at Split.
Anna spends a hero point, using gadgetry to give you a +8 electrical energy blaster with limited life. Don't scratch yourself with that hand for a while.
Distance and Location (Distances from Split)
Split is 30 feet up on the roof of the boy's dorm. Michelle is 20 feet up and 30 feet from Split. Johan and Anna are 250 feet from Split and 30 feet below him. Johan going for gun is 30 feet from Michelle horizontally, 60 feet from the gun and about 50 feet from Split, as well as 30 feet below him. Tara is 30 feet up on the roof of the girl's dorm and 250 feet from Split. The other Johans are either inside or going inside so it doesn't matter.
Initiatives: Vince 27 (3HP, 1S, 1L), Stryke 22 (3L), Johan 17 x4 (1HP), Split 16 (1VP), Michelle 16 (2L, 2HP, in a duel), Tara 15 (1L, 2HP), Hoppy 11 (1L, Disabled), Anna 8 (1HP, 2L, immobile).
Johan and Michelle are up again. Vince is unstunned and can act again.

"Huh? Uh, hey, hold on, I didn't...aw, crap," Sanjay exclaims, the light bulb blinking on over his head. "It's a shapeshifter. He's the one that turned up the water. We gotta find him, he could look like any...hey, what are you doing down here, anyway?" he asks with suspicion.

"So that's who hit me?" she says with an angry growl, smoothly transforming into hybrid form.Agamon said:
"And don't give me that look, sport. I came down to help you after Rebound went to check out the excitement at the wave pool. Then you... he nailed me in the back. Should have known it wasn't you. You didn't even smile. And you know enough to just ask me to get on my hands and knees for you, don'tcha, sport," she says, pressing up against you suddenly and kissing you briefly. "For saving me," she says playfully before pulling away and pulling you towards the ladder.
"Now come on, sport. I saw you... him... it... whatever heading up the ladder."

Johan and Michelle
Inside Johan's room, his double continues to battle with the virus. The virus adapts to the algorithms that Johan is using, blocking more system access from him.
Opposed roll: 12 (30) versus 34. Lose again and you'll have to hack the system again.
Another Johan climbs into Monica's room. Michelle's blast has done a bit more than knock out windows, and clothes and personal effects lay scattered about. Johan wonders what more than one item is for, or how the heck it could be classified as clothing. But ARIS is his goal, and he heads to it, trying to hack into the system.
You get an 18 (36) check, and once more, barely hack into the system. You have a choice of either both of your doubles working independantly or together (gaining a +2 to the check) against the virus within ARIS.
Johan sprints forward again, sliding to a halt after passing under Michelle and Split's energy beams.
And you can pick up the gun next round.
Johan duplicates again, and then hustles towards Split and Michelle.
Remember, you can attack at range with penalties. 5 x power rank is normal distance, and -2 per category after that. (If someone with a book can check me on that... it may be 10 power rank in feet).
"My wheelchair is back in the workshop, where we left it," Anna responds to your duplicate, tearing a piece of her shirt off and pressing it to her bloodied forehead.
Meanwhile, the duel continues as Split and Michelle pour on the power. For a moment she brings the advancing beam to a halt, then it surges forward nearly touching her force field.
Opposed rolls: Split 12 (26) vs Michelle 14 (26)... stalemate!
Opposed rolls: Michelle 11 (23) vs Split 8 (22) -- VP reroll result 18 (32)
Right then, beam is 5 feet away. In case you didn't guess, split is using VP for re-rolls on anything lower than 10 on the dice.
Tara continues her search, and woe be to anything that gets caught by the swarm!
Distance and Location (Distances from Split)
Split is 30 feet up on the roof of the boy's dorm. Michelle is 20 feet up and 30 feet from Split. Johan and Anna are 250 feet from Split and 30 feet below him. Johan going for gun is 30 feet from Michelle horizontally, 60 feet from the gun and about 40 feet from Split, as well as 30 feet below him. Tara is 30 feet up on the roof of the girl's dorm and 250 feet from Split. Johan with the blaster is 220 feet from Split and 30 feet below him. The other Johans are either inside or going inside so it doesn't matter.
Initiatives: Vince 27 (3HP, 1S, 1L), Stryke 22 (3L), Johan 17 x4 (1HP), Split 16 (2VP), Michelle 16 (2L, 2HP, in a duel), Tara 15 (1L, 2HP), Hoppy 11 (1L, Disabled), Anna 8 (1HP, 2L, immobile).

Doubles work together in the hacking, reroll if the die roll is 15 or less.
"Then I'll get you there, too", Johan's duplicate says to Anna and picks her up from the ground. He starts carefully carrying her to the workshop.
Johan's other duplicate picks up the gun and takes a shot at Split.
Johan himself moves towards Split.
Edit - The range for a power is indeed 10ft times rank, absolute maximum range being that times ten.
