EPIC M&M: Issue 6 (IC)

[Dalamar]

Johan gets Loki to the window, both to give him some fresh air and to lessen the chance that he'll end up covering delicate equipment in something they most definately aren't supposed to be covered in.
"Isn't that a bit odd? ARIS should have direct access to almost all data in the Internal Security Agency, why would they have to request the information from SAA, and as members of EPIC, we should have almost guaranteed access to any information they might have, most certainly to information about a car accident."

Johan checks again on Randall. "Feeling any better?"

It pretty obvious that they are hiding something, now all we have to do is figure out what, why and how and is Pavo's death connected to why they are being so vauge about Sanjay. Michelle tells the group.

Any chance that we can connect to ARIS from here? She asks Rebound

The robot's wheel on its gun stops spinning and the lowers to point to the ground.[/font]

"Authorization confirmed," the robot intones. "Greetings, Sanjay." Its chest plate slides open and a small holder with a syringe full of a blue liquid comes out. Beside that is a hand sized electronic data pad.

Sanjay sighs in relief and grabs both the syringe and pad, saying, "Domo arigato, Mr. Roboto."

He quickly moves back to the lab tech, handing the serum to her. "Here...um, I didn't catch your name," he says as he checks the pad.

"Sure," Rebound says. "Have at it. I'm driving."

Using your communication satellite, you manage to get a connection with ARIS. But moments later, you are cut-off as the satellite transmission stops. Your equipment appears to be working just fine, however. In fact, you can transmit to the satellites in orbit, but something appears to be stopping your signal from continuing to New York.

"You keep telling yourself that," Michael says. "Despite the fact that you'd have been judged guilty of murder in any country -- even Africa -- for what you were going to do. Pretend all you want about how things were in the past; it isn't how it is now, and you know it. Just like you know..."

Both you and Michael suddenly find yourselves staring up at the ceiling, victims of an explosion that rocks you to your core. As you clear the cobwebs you realize that you heard nothing and glancing out into the yard nothing seems damaged.

You find yourself pulling your head out of the water, coughing and sputtering, vicitm of an explosion that rocked you down to your bones. Your head aches like someone dropped a truck on it and you readily realize you've been a victim of a powerful mental blast. You also can't hear Dara at all, though you can sense her mind; it's just blank at the moment.

"Whatever, Michael," X12 says, shaking his head, pushing himself off the floor. "Just because other people thinks it's wrong doesn't make it wrong... there's always consequences for doing what you think is right. Right now, though... we should figure out what just happened to..." he trails off, heading out into the courtyard.

"Let me give it a try, computers are my specialty."
Johan will try to get a connection to ARIS, trying to get past whatever is blocking their connection, even trying through a non-EPIC satellite without permission if necessary.

OOC: Just an FYI, EPIC has zero satellites that they own. They use various government and privately owned satellites for communications.

Johan tries his best to hack the communications system, but finds more than a standard security system in place. Considering what havok someone could wreak by disrupting communications even in one nation, he's not surprised. In addition to a highly advanced firewall and security protocols, there are obviously human components present as well, operating in direct opposition to him. After five minutes of trying, he begins to wonder if it is going to be possible to get into the system, even with Michelle helping him.

Computers check (DC43): 37 fails

You realize that without the benefit of a datalink, there is no way you will get into this system. But... with the components available from the van's computer system and your base knowledge of gadgets... but it could be dangerous... though you are super-intelligent. I mean, nobody else could even conceive of such a thing, let alone make it work!

Heh, I guess you can get gadgets in a limited fashion before returning to base, if you want to

"I am so going to regret this..."
Johan starts putting together a device to allow for direct cerebral link to computer systems.
"This isn't going to work unless I am able to increase my response time with the computer interface, which is only going to work if I can link to the system straight with my brains."

OoC: Bye bye, Hero Point. Welcome Datalink +5

Michelle will assist in any way possible.
