X12 moves around quietly to catch Thunder's attention. "Whenever you have a moment, Thunder, I'd like to talk to you before we arrive in England; I've been prepping a letter for Kevin's parents, and others of the elder EPIC members said you have some unfortunate experience in this department," X12 says.

Computers check (DC25 -- you already smoked the system): 34 succeeds
After a few minutes of work, you effectively disrupt all internal communications inside the building, including the private lines of the senior officials. None of the unconscious people show any sign of waking up yet. As you also keep an eye on the screens you hear the SWAT member transmit Sanjay's 'demands' to you.
Also, you should assume anything Sanjay says will be transmitted to you so we won't end up with lag between what the players do like we are about to.
Sanjay
The gas having disappated, Sanjay lowers his sphere. The guard repeats your request to someone through his headset and awaits a response.
And you can assume the guard will repeat to you Johan's messages, though you don't know it's from him. Again, saves me retyping stuffs.
Straightjacket, Michelle, Vince the Silent
Michelle touches down beside Straightjacket and Tara hovers above the van. The young officer Beno seems even more confident as more members of EPIC arrive.
"Right," he says. "The terrorists are up in Ms. Vaile's lab right now. Our swat team went in, but they had a robot with them that knocked two of them out of commission. Right now, Mr. Telda has apparently called off SWAT and," he says pausing, listening to his headset. "The terrorist claims to be a member of EPIC who came looking for some antidote and is demanding a doctor for his companions and a news camera?"
"I am definitely coming with you," Ina whispers to Straightjacket, her camera having already filmed the entire incident here.
"The only one of us not accounted for is..." Cosmo says thinking. "Sanjay? How the hell would he have gotten to Brazilia."
"No clue," says SJ's dad, before saying to Michelle. "Hey, darlin'. Mind hitting me with an energy blast a few times?"

Thunder leaves off his conversation with Rising Sun when you speak, nodding. "A letter to his father would be a good thing, especially coming from you or one of the others. And it will probably help me a lot when I talk to him. If you take some time and type one out, I'll take a look and help you finish it," he says. "You can use the computers in the jet."
Laughs and cheers and squeals from the children and adults near Dragon and Kodiak provide a strange setting for your conversation, though it serves to remind you that life may well return to normal in the area thanks to the actions of EPIC.

"I aint got a clue what your talkin' 'bout," the man says as he bumps into you, apparently by accident from your sudden placement in his path. "But it's... a quarter to seven," he says, checking on his wristwatch. He calmly turns ninety degrees and walks normally towards the exit.
You realize that he was telling you the time on your wristwatch... the one he just lifted from you so smoothly you never even noticed until this moment. He's only about ten feet away from you as you focus your inner strength and feel the flow of blood increase in your body, heightening your health, strength, agility and reflexes.
You are boosted! You also win initiative and are up first!

Adventurer
Johan thinks for a moment, and then decides he'll just have to risk getting caught when contacting one of the SAP doctors.
"We give into these demands. However, any sign of hostility will be met with lethal force."
Johan then connects one of the scientists/doctors/somebody approriate to administer antidote and tells the SWATs outside to let the EPICs inside to escort a reporter.

Since 80% of people working in the building are doctors, you have to take significant time to find one that has what you feel is appropriate training. Finally finding one, you contact his office and get his secretary. You are placed on hold for what seems an inordinate amount of time.
Sense motive: 3 (nice one!)
As you wait, you notice a few cameras on your massive security screen have gone blank.
BANG! BANG! BANG!
The door rattles with impacts as someone starts beating on it.
"Move back!" you hear a female voice order, the sound muffled through the door. Then there is silence again. Looking at the cameras, you see the halls on this floor dark on your screens, the cameras taken out.
Michelle
"No," the officer flatly refuses. "I will not allow a potential terrorist to have access to hostages no matter what assurances you provide. Until whoever is up there is in custody, I can assure you there will be no doctors and no civilians," he says pointedly at Ina. "ISA policy."
You get the feeling there is zero possibility of changing his mind on this.
Sanjay
The officer before you checks his comm for orders repeatedly, getting more and more nervous by the moment. Apparently, communication has been cut off for him.

You rush the man as he's fleeing, slamming into him and trying to throw him to the ground!
Attack roll: 29
Opposed grapple check: 28 versus 18
Damage save (DC25): 16 fails (1S, stunned)
You grab him in a bear hug, and lift him physically off the ground. Spinning, you drive him face first into the ground!
Heroic surge!
Opposed grapple check: 18 versus 6 (pinned)
You manage to pin the man effectively to the ground, and once he regains his breath, he is anything but happy, cursing at you with an amazingly colourful string of words. It only takes a few moments for the police to appear.
"Hey now, what's this about," a smallish officer says loudly. He and his two partners rush up quickly to you. "All right, boy, let the man up," he says, placing a hand on your shoulder as one of his partners grabs the pickpocket's arm to prevent him from escaping. "Care to explain yourself laddy?"

Michelle looks at the officer, trying to gauge how far she can push things and realising that taking the civilians was a no go.
Fine, but we are still going in and dealing with the situation. If he is an Epic member it will be easier to handle what ever happens. Do you have any blueprints of the building? Anything that can help us would be great.
When the officer goes to get blueprints she will turn to the others. Ok lets get ready, if it is Sanjay he may be in trouble the sooner we find him the better chance we have of finding out what is going on. Any ideas, suggestions, questions?
And Michelle will have no problems blasting Staightjackts dad...

As soon as the other officier take charge of the suspect. Jay stand up.
"Sure officier. I am Cadet York. I was going back home. I had a permission from my superior. While I was waiting here, I saw that man taking the wallet of a man. I put myself on his way to try to confirm that I didn't hallucinate. I ask him the time and congratulate about his pickpocket. He answered me that he had not lifted anyone and then give me the hour with my watch he had just lifted from my arm. Before he could escape, I just tried to immobilize him on the ground, waiting for some police or security to come to my call. You arrived and here we are Sir. That's the story."
Jay start to scan the crowd to try to spot the man that was lifted, so he could confirm he had been lifted.
