You have got to be freakin' essin' me...
Sanjay quickly assesses that he is the only EPIC member present, standing, and unhindered. "Well, this sucks," he thinks.
He flies out towards the containment unit. "Stop!" he yells out, landing in front of the unit, near Mole. "Do you have any idea what you're doing? Whatever it is you're being paid, how can it be enough to make up for the untold countless numbers of dead people that will be a direct result of this?" he pleads, desperately.
Half action to fly to the container, another half to Deflect the next incoming attack.

Raisa takes her uniform from Dara and one of the staffs from Michael. "Thanks guys. Li, you know the way so should do the driving." She'll hop into the back and start removing her training gear. "How far is it?"
ooc:I'm assuming the vehicle in question is some kind of truck, since neither she nor Carl would be able to fit into anything else they got in China, unless we're talking big rigs.

With alarms now going off all around, Vince is finally aroused from his nap. "What the... I must have fallen asleep watching TV" Looking around and seeing no one present, Vince starts to wake up and realize what is happening. "Guys? Hey guys whats going on?? Oh God NO!!!!"
Moving full superspeed to the elevators, carpet ripples and pictures fly from the walls but Vince pays them no mind as he tries to catch up to the others.
OOC: Sorry all, I've had a rather big week and havent had the time to get online and post.

Containment Area
Initiatives: Flick 31 (1VP), Aerin 30 (1S, 1VP), Vince 28 (1 round), Cosmo 25 (3S, 2HP, KO), Monica 22 (1S, KO), Loki 21 (1HP, Suffocating), Mantis 19, Straightjacket 18 (1HP, slowed), Mole 15, Metal Mistress 13 (1HP, STUN), Neutron 12, Anithos 11 (2VP), Johan 7 (2 dupes Suffocating), Anna 6 (3S, 2HP, KO), Rebound 5 (Suffocating)
Neutron makes it near the containment units, about even with the armored cars, flying over the heads of Aerin, Flick, the gathered soldiers and Anithos.
The Mole glances over his shoulder at Neutron. "Wanna bet, kid?"
"What is he talking about?" Anithos asks.
"Nothing important, just do your job!" the Mole growls. Anithos shrugs, listening to his boss.
"Soldiers, open fire on Neutron!" Anithos calls. As a unit, the soldiers swivel, and a half dozen blaster rifles rip blue beams of energy at Neutron! Holy crap! Those beams look like they could melt through anything!
Will save: 14 fails but then again...
Deflection roll: 24 should be a success but...
Note: You don't think your plea worked.
Neutron creates a floating mirror before him, directly in line with several of the shots... and the beams simply dissappate upon hitting it. A stray beam shoots through his arm, vanishing without any harm, and a second hits the Mole, who snorts as it vanishes, turning in a not so friendly manner towards Sanjay. Sanjay and Mantis can see through the illusionary soldiers.
"Sorry," Anithos says and Sanjay doesn't like the way the Mole is turning towards him. Anithos strides off towards the security room nearby stepping over unconscious guards as he goes.
Neutron also can see a pair of soldiers carrying out a familiar looking cannister, preparing to move it to one of the trucks. There could be more men inside, or they could have two cannisters already, you can't be sure.
... and the elevator doors open, with Michelle, several Johan's, Loki and Rebound enterring the fray.
Flick does a simple cartwheel and ends up standing infront of the second elevator as the door opens. "Hi!" she exclaims, then levels her staff and blasts Michelle in the chest. The energy blast leaves her unscathed physically, but her arms and legs go completely numb. She slumps to the floor of the elevator with a shocked expression on her face.
Attack roll: 22 hits
Fort save (DC16): 7 (HP to re-roll becomes 14) fails (affected by STUN power)
Michelle gets a FORT save each round at +1 after the first cumulatively to negate the effect, and will be able to act the round thereafter. This round's save is 20, so MM can act next round.
Aerin floats in behind Flick and the air suddenly rushes out from the elevator in a rush. Those inside feel the skin around their eyes tighten and their throats start to constrict.
Attack roll: 18 hits (centered on Loki)
Reflex saves (DC20): MM 15 fails, Rebound 14 fails, Johan 20 (real, success), 18 and 10 fail
Fort saves (DC20): Loki 7 fails, MM 22 success, Rebound 13 fails, Johan (DC 15) 15 success, Johan 14 fail, 11 fail
Those failing have to make constitution checks (DC 10 +1 per round) to avoid falling unconscious until the effect vanishes. You can still act!
You can hear Mantis slashing something to pieces, and moments later steps out of the elevator, turning with a growl towards Flick and Aerin. Hoppy leaps at Flick and is swiftly batted aside.
Loki is up. SJ makes his save this round (18) but is still slowed and can't do anything until next round. He is roughly 20 feet from the Mole.

"I can drive, yes," Li says. "It will take no more than two hours to get to the area where the caves are."
A few townsfolk are watching, and women start tittering when Raisa starts to disrobe in front of everyone.
"Shotgun!" Dara exclaims, tossing her weapon choice, a feathered, flexible spear, into the bed of teh truck before climging into the passenger seat. Michael climbs in the back, with Carl, Raisa, X12 and Kevin.
The truck she has is an old and beat up pick-up truck. You remove the town workgear from the back and it can carry everyone, not exactly in comfort, but oh well.
For those seeking lethal weapons so X12 can work overtime to absorb horrible wounds and regenerate lost limbs of fallen foes, the dojo is home to all sorts of weapons, not just training ones. Lethal and training weapons will all be 5S or 5L, regardless of what you choose. There are no really suitable ranged weapons.

"No, but I somehow doubt Mia Toan is going to be subdued by sticks. She's already tried to kill you once, and unless Sho is capable of controlling her from the Americas, it looks like she's going to try to kill you again," X12 says. "There will be more than just her to deal with as well -- beating people unconscious takes longer than disabling them. A quick stab in the knee, brachial nerve... or, in the unfortunate event that some criminal is injured critically... well, there's always God to which for them to pray."
OOC: I'll take something lethal, like a dagger or sai, and one of the sticks. I'll also get into uniform.

"Don't forget X, Mia want me to play with, she won't want to kill me. They will try to subdue me, and maybe the whole group. If we come armed to the teeth, they may change there plans. I'll fetch some weapon for us." Kevin runs to the Dojo and he come back with 2 kendo sword and two Katana. " Take that kendo sword. The katana will be just in case. And talking of weapons, I would become more usefull if I can mimic someone powers. Raisa, Carl, will you let me? And while we have time in front of us, if I get a backlash, will you heal me X?"

"No," Raisa says flatly to Kevin as she starts to pull on her uniform. "No offense or anything, but you have a habit of doing bad things with the powers you mimic. It's time you learned to stand on your own."
She sits down on the edge of the truck behind the pasenger's side door and looks at X12 with concern. "You're starting to scare me X. I know we don't know a lot about you, pretty much nothing, but you're talking about letting people die. Lethal weapons or not, I can do a lot of damage with one of those staffs and I don't particularily want to kill anyone. Okay, maybe Sho if I'm given the chance, but the others... they are still human, normals. I can't believe you'd let them die."
Leaning back, and holding on to the truck so she doesn't fall, she pokes her head around Dara's window. "Dara, I know it would be a strain for you, but when we get close enough try and see if you can get a general sense of where they've got Master Wen and Xi."
