Walking to the building, he puts his arm around Monica. Leaning in close, he whispers to her, "What are we doing here, I think I missed that part of the briefing...actually I think I missed all of the briefing..."
"I wonder why," Monica says with a laugh. "Someone was awfully lazy this morning. If you'd read your e-mail, you'd remember that we're supposed to find out who ordered those trucks that got stolen by that Mole thing. But I guess someone wasn't really thinking much this morning, hmmm?" she asks teasingly.

One of the patrols with dogs comes by and Monica growls as they get close. The dogs sniff the air and start barking towards you as you enter, their handlers speaking to try to calm them.

"Why hello there, I think I've met you before"John says to the secretary once he places her. "You been working here long?"
She beams a smile at John as he approaches. "About a year, ever since I graduated high school. Whatcha doing here? More super-hero stuff?" she asks, obviously hoping for something to add some excitement to her job.

You also happen to notice her clipped on photo ID names her Stephanie.
 

"Right, right, who ordered the trucks...they need all of us for that?" Sanjay says, shrugging at his own question.

He looks at the dogs, and back at Monica and then back at the dogs. "No way, you and dogs don't mix, I'm guessing?" he says to her with a smile. "Hey, guys," he says to the patrolers, "we're walking here, want to calm them down?"

"We've stepped foot outside of EPIC HQ. I fully expect to be attacked in the next few minutes," Rebound jokes. "Seriously, Thunder said this place might be doing some illegal weapons dealings. Better safe than sorry," Rebound says in a whisper.

"I like dogs just fine. Well, once I've put them in their place," she says, returning to growling. She stops outside the door and continues to growl at the dogs, who are really straining to get at her.

"Sorry, they're really not liking you," one guard says, his guard straining at his leash.

"Yeah, don't know whats gotten into them," the other says.

You see a little dangerous grin on Monica's face, and you're not sure you like where this is going. Not that there's a dang thing you can do about it when she suddenly starts changing form, morphing into a full grown bengal tiger. She pads a short step towards the dogs, who have frozen in place. One lets out a small 'woof,' sounding like a canine 'WTF?' She lets out a roar and one dog backs up, plastering itself against its handler. The other, quite comically, faints and twitches on the ground. Both guards reach for their weapons as Monica shifts back to human.

"That's better," she says, looking at both you and Rebound. "What? Neither of you going to hold the door for me?" she says with a pout.

Both guards look rattled, but don't draw their guns, instead heading off towards a nearby guard house, pretty much carrying their terrified dogs with them.

Vincent, you feel someone touch your wings, startling you a bit. You had been so focussed on the goings on, that you barely noticed Doctor Worthy come up behind you. She just ran her finger down one of your wing folds, and is looking at her finger as if she expected something to come off.

"Interesting," she says, not noticing that you can see her, or that you noticed her do that.[\QUOTE]

Fully expanding his wings out and away from the Doctor (while being careful not to wreck anything) "Whoa lady!! You no touchy me, me no touchy you!! We understand each other here? Now what is so interesting about my wings?"

OOC: Au contraire, that was cool. :)

Sanjay stiffles a laugh. "In their place, they've been put." He opens the door. "You and me are going to get along real well. After you," he says with a grin.

"Remarkable. I expected some sort of moist membrane, but they are much more leathery," Doctor Worthy says, unperterbed. "Are the bones hollow like a bird or more solid? How long can you stay aloft? Well, I'm assuming you can fly of course, and judging from the span," she says, pausing. "Six feet, perhaps seven at their widest I'd say." You notice she's not so much talking to you as into a recorder which is also taking motion pictures of you.

"Your horns," she says, looking at your head. "Are they decorative or some sort of natural weapons?" she asks you.

"Your tail is interesting too. It's a lighter color than the rest of you, did you know that? Can you actually use it in a prehensile fashion, or is it more like an animals tail? For balance during flight maybe? I'd like to get a closer look at your extremities if you don't mind," she says, reaching again for your wings.

You've become a fair bit separated from the others as she sort of chases you around, forcing you to back away and spin from her as she tries to grab your wing, tail and horns.

"Just hold still," she says, exasperated, her hands on her hips. She blows a strand of hair from her eyes. She's kind of cute in a ditzy, geekish way.

"I'll grab it," Cosmo says. "But I'll bet you'll only need one guess to figure out who," he says, grabbing the shard and pulling a few times before finally ripping it out of the wall with a grunt, "this came from." He heads back to the three of you across the dirt floor. There's a very slight rumble. "Jeeze, it's like... three feet long." He looks back. "Holy cow, went straight through the wall. You guys can plant a garden in here now," he laughs.

"Is that... a supporting wall?" Anna says. Cosmo looks back as there is another rumble, this one audible throughout the chamber. "I mean, I'm not the mathematician here... but Johan?"

Johan, from the size of the building, the depth you are and estimating the pressure per square foot from dirt outside, and the fact that the claw Cosmo is holding is over two feet in length... that wall section isn't going to hold unless the support structure is complete, though you doubt it is going to cause very much harm to the overall structure. More than likely, the dirt outside will simply bury the immediate crime scene.

And of course, you, Anna, Cosmo, Loki, Morgan, Kentworthy and Simmons along with it.

Scrambling around at regular speed is kind of fun keeping just a step away from the woman. "Miss, I really do appreciate you wanting to learn more about my unique physiology. Heck, I would like to know more about it myself! But the last person who touched my wing, ripped it clean off. Actually it wasnt all that clean. A good chunk of my back went with it."
 


Kevin catch X12 on his way to Master's Wen house.

"Hey X, I wanted to thank you, for what you have done back at the hospital. And I am sorry about telling I hate you. I didn't mean it, I was lost in my thoughts."
