Michelle, Johan
OOC: Actually, those rolls already included Michelle's assistance with the hacking attempt
It takes some time, especially in the fast moving van, but Johan manages to pull together a hastily built neural datalink using parts from the van's computer system as well as the tracking device he had installed for the mission. Finally after nearly an hour of pulling things apart and fastening things to himself, he ends up with a mess of wires strung from the computer consoles in the van to his wire strung armored gloves, connected to a pair of sunglasses of Cosmo's left on the dashboard and a pair of metal discs he has taped to his temples to provide the neural link. Though he looks confident it will work, to the rest of you it looks rather comical.
"That uh... well then, yes I can see how... yes and that goes... you look goofy, you know that, right?" says Tara after a brief inspection.
"He looks like he could compete in robot wars," Rebound says, glancing back in the mirror.
Despite their joking, however, with the final connection made you gain a new level of computer mastery. In the van you sit perfectly rigid. In your mind, you are zipping through a virtual representation of the communications system that you have been trying to breach.
Michelle
Johan is completely and totally rigid for a long time, long enough for you to trail your way rapidly out of the mountains and into the flats leading towards Brasilia. As you are about thirty kilometers out, the majetic city climbs into the sky before. It's coming up on late afternoon and the sun is behind you now but the sky infront of you suddenly lights up as a fireball shoots into it!
"Whoa, what's that!" Rebound exclaims.
In the Virtual World
Johan
In your mind, the system looks like a dungeon from a nameless game. Paths lead various directions and traps and monsters roam about. Through your cunning, you manage to avoid the worst of them and hack your way free of some of the less dangerous traps and monsters using a sword you conjure in your mind. But one of the monsters, a huge, two headed ogre with pair of massive tree-truck clubs spots you and gives chase. You flee, this way and that, staying ahead of him, though his thundering footsteps fill your head.
The floor gives way to a chute, sending you sliding downward and into a small stone corridor. At the end of the corridor is a room and in the room are three glass panels. Each panel has the face of a person on it and beneath each pane is a data entry terminal. You notice that all three faces are in motion. They blink, they talk, they turn to each other, they look down... normal motions of people doing some sort of task in an office you suppose. Perhaps a communication office! You realize that this is what you were trying to hack into!
You hear a scraping sound and a bellow from above and behind you as the mammoth ogre starts to worm down the chute after you. Glancing around you see no exits and realize that with your mind trapped here, you may be in real danger from the ogre. You have perhaps twenty seconds at most to find your way out of here or plan a defense against the ogre!
Cue scary dungeon music, LOTR style!
Brasilia Medical
Vince
Despite your best efforts, getting away from the clutching arms of the nurse is proving anything but simple.
"Yeah, and you sound really sorry about it too," growls Cosmo as he suddenly changes back to normal. Just outside of your exam room, you see the orb of a camera filming and a young female reporter coming your way, Straightjacket in tow. "At least I'm photowoah..." he says, looking up behind you.
You glance up behind yourself as well to the vidscreen in the wall. A live broadcast is there, showing the smoldering wreck of a vehicle, surrounded by SAP vehicles and a lone police cruiser. SAP is loading the wreck into a transport under the police supervision. But the broadcast, though muted, shows a view from a number of traffic cameras of a ferarri parked in mid air, a man carrying a woman flying away from the car. Moments later, the car explodes, showering the area below in flaming wreckage.
While the image isn't too distinct, the silver reflection from the man carrying the woman is extremely recognizeable.
"Sound, sound! Get the sound!" Cosmo says, leaping past Vince to hit the sound button on the screen.
"With the attack on their research facility and the death of Pavo Santala, SAP is apparently under seige here in Brasilia as well. First, this vehicle, registered to SAP, explodes on the outskirts of the city, and now a portion of their corporate headquarters has been sealed off in dramatic fashion by a force field that even SAP personel seem unable to breech," the reporter says as images of SAP headquarters appears on the screen, one of the upper floors completely surrounded by an energy field.
"Several first hand accounts say that a man in what appeared to be a hospital gown, and carrying a woman, was seen flying towards SA...."
Master Wen's Academy, China
Raisa exits the bathhouse in her robe, followed soon after by Li whom had been inside somewhere the entire time. X12 and Michael stumble out of the dojo while Trailblazer walks out of the main house rubbing his head and heading around the side. Master Wen is sitting calmly under the tree in front now, sipping on tea as if nothing has happened. Neither Carl nor Xi emerge from anywhere.
You all have a fairly good idea where the 'explosion' came from and end up converging on the side of the house. Empath is there, standing nest to the massive prone form of Kodiak with a frown on her face. Kodiak is in giant bear form, lying flat on his stomach, and while Empath seems composed, you can see she certainly didn't come out unscathed, and has both a bloodied nose and blood trickling from her ears. Empath is nudging -- ok, kicking -- Kodiak, trying to get him to roll over or off or something.
"Hey, that looks like fun," Trailblazer says, still rubbing his head. "Can we all play kick-bear or is it a private game?"
Empath scowls at Trailblazer, then bends down and pulls up one massive lip flap of the unconscious bear to reveal a Dara sized foot. "How about we play 'move-the-bear' before Dara suffocates. Where is..." she says, looking around until she sees Raisa. "Oh, there you are, Raisa. Could you lift him and set him over there," she says, gesturing generally towards the hilltop leading to the garden.
"Yeah, and watch the lips. Lard-butt drools when he sleeps. And he's bound to be gassy," Trailblazer says. "Dangerous from both ends that boy."

The station cuts outs, replaced by only those words. Cosmo flips channels as the nurse lets you go; ever other station appears affected as well.
"Where's your damn communicator! We need to get a hold of Mich--- Metal Mistress," Cosmo growls.

"Holy bitstream..."
Johan will initiate a download to the van computer's HD from the communications center, recovering any data that has to do with the crash, the officers working on it, and any possible similar happenings in the last two years (in that order, if it matters). If the download can't be kept running while he himself tries to mount a barricade to block the chute, Johan downloads as much as he can while still leaving himself 10 seconds to put up a barricade to block the ogre's entry to the room.

As you rush up to one of the keyboards to start the download, you realize that you haven't breached the security system yet. The people in the glass panes must be the programmers directly working against you, and very likely the Ogre is the last computerized defense mechanism still intact. With a thought, you duplicate, but your duplicate is only there for a mere moment, then vanishes inexplicably. You try to initiate a download from the keypad at the center pane of glass, but can see the man on the other side of the pane typing to match against you. With seconds left, you whirl about, wishing there was something to barricade the slide with.
A brick wall appears in front of it.
There is an angry roar and a loud bang and the wall shakes. A second roar and bang and it shatters! Bricks fly past you, and you remain miraculously unhurt. Some of the debris soars past you into the panes of glass. While the center one and the one behind you and to your left remain sturdy, you glance back to see the last pane dark and the grass significantly cracked. That crack continues to latice outward.
From out of the dust comes the angry form of the two headed ogre, clubs still clutched in its hands.
SAP Headquarters
Sanjay
"M-my name?" she says, obviously unconfortable, much like before when you asked her powers. Before she gives an answer, the data pad starts playing a video message from Ms. Vaile. The assistant takes the opportunity to scurry out to treat Vida.
"Sanjay, time is short. The board of directors of SAP have decided to continue research into Anaconda at any cost. My vocal opposition to this project have them on their way to remove me; there's nothing I can do about that. But you must get the data in this pad to the authorities and the press. The actions of the board must be exposed at any cost. The Anaconda program must be terminated."
Ms. Vaile glances behind her and as she does so you can tell she's in this same vault. She turns back quickly. "PX90, begin security protocol Vaile 3," she says as the video ends.
"Security protocol Vaile 3 completed. Orders?" drones the PX90 bot.
Driving towards Brasilia
Johan suddenly duplicates. The duplicate ends up dressed just like the original, but isn't connected to anything. He looks around in confusion. "Um... what's going on? How come I don't have my link with Johan errr me?"

"I sure hope this works..."
Johan positions himself in front of the middle pane, picks up one piece of debris, and throws it at the ogre.
"Hey! You! No, I'm talking to the smart head. I am very confident in believing that you can't hit me with that big club of yours."
If Johan doesn't luck out and the heads don't start arguing over which one is the smart one, he waits right in front of the pane, and when the club(s) come aswinging, he will jump out of the way, hopefully the ogre smashing the pane to pieces.

Raisa nods and moves to lift the oversized bearman and will carry him to where Empath designated. "What happened, Ms. Desrochers?" She doesn't like the thought, but she has to wonder if Dara tried something she shouldn't have and Empath had to stop her. The fact that she could feel the girl but there is no one home gives her the willies.

Limp bear isn't exactly an easy load to carry, but Raisa manages to half hoist, half drag Kodiak over to the top of the hill, freeing Dara from suffocating under him in the process.
"She attacked both of us; Kodiak and myself," Empath says. "I was nearly knocked out. Kodiak was. Fortunately, he fell on Dara and knocked her unconscious as well. A state I think she should stay in for a while," she adds, kneeling down and touching Dara's forehead briefly. "As for why, I think it is a combination of things.
"By linking your minds, she has started to feed off of your emotions; sharing them really. Her emotions are now exagerated. When she gets angry, it's amplified. When she's upset, it's twice as bad for her. And with everything that's happened, and with your own emotions running high, she's getting overwhelmed. Her mind simply can't handle the strain. And now she's used mind control and actual telepathy, glimpsed into a dark mind and I believe it has further caused her to harm," Empath explains.
"It is nothing you have caused, though, Raisa," she assures Raisa. "But I think it is time that we sever this link the two of you share."

The ogre's heads look at each other briefly, then turn back to glare at you. He lets out a massive bellow then charges right at you! He lowers his shoulder in an attempt to ram you, but you manage to dive out of the way, none to gracefully though. You land on your chest and skid along the floor, rather than rolling as you planned as the lumbering charge shakes the floor.
Ogre Hit Roll: Natural 1!
The ogre is far less graceful however, as he gives a "Huh?" as you suddenly disappear from infront of him. One head turns to look left, the other right, and the body goes straight with glass shattering force right into the center pane. Instead of simply cracking like the other pane, the glass explodes outward, away from the room into a black void. A fierce wind starts sucking everything in the room into the now broken pane, where a black whirlpool now sits.
You scramble for a handhold to stop your inexorable slide twoards the whirlpool. The ogre still clings to the edge of the pane, but soon is sucked in, vanishing into the whirlpool with a slight pop. The cracked pane gives way, forming another whirlpool and yet more suction into the void. Your slide towards the holes in the wall speeds until you are clinging to the edge of the window desperately. You hands give way and you hear a pop, then a rush of blackness and then...
Driving towards Brasilia
Before you can even answer Johan's double, there is a rush of wind in the van that ends in a loud pop. Before your eyes, the original Johan vanishes, leaving behind a network of wires and parts that made up his datalink.
"Oh my..." says the double, moments before he slumps forward unconscious. He doesn't vanish.
Your headsets crackle alive right then, and Cosmo comes across the communication channel. Obviously, he's in range, or Johan has succeeded.
"Metal Mistress, come in!" he says into the microphone. "I just saw Sanjay flying towards SAP on the news, and then the entire broadcast satellite system went down. If you can hear me, SJ, the glowing wonder and myself are heading there shortly!"
Brasilia Medical
"We have your bags stored in your recovery room closet," the doctor says, pointing across the hall. "Though I really suggest that you spend at least a day recovering from your injuries."
"I'm coming with you," Ina says, already assuming you aren't about to listen to the doctor with such interesting events happening involving SAP. "I can drive us there," she adds with a hopeful look.
"I'm ready when you are boy," SJ's dad says to him from the hall.
Cosmo spots the older man and abandons yelling at the unresponsive Vincent to rush over to him and snatch his communicator.
"Metal Mistress, come in!" he says into the microphone. "I just saw Sanjay flying towards SAP on the news, and then the entire broadcast satellite system went down. If you can hear me, SJ, the glowing wonder and myself are heading there shortly!"

"Security Protocol Vaile 3. Deliver packages to Sanjay Mohan; Neutron of EPIC. Protect Sanjay Mohan, Neutron of EPIC from hostile forces. Follow orders of Sanjay Mohan; Neutron of EPIC, unless such orders violate previous orders," the robot intones.
"This unit is not equipped with advanced communication systems. There is a private communication channel located on the inside wall of the vault, in case of emergency," it adds to your query.
Outside the room, you see the assitant injecting Vida with the anti-serum, though it doesn't have an immediate, obvious affect.
Johan
... with a second pop you find yourself laying in the center of a computer filled room. The logo on the wall reads SAP, and the view out the window leads you to believe you are inside the SAP Headquarters. Three employees, the same three you had seen in the glass panes, stand against the windows of the room, wide eyed and slack jawed as you pick yourself up off the floor. A fourth employee, a supervisor, is standing in front of his office with a similar expression, but he seems to have his wits about him and is glancing towards the door of the office about fifteen feet from him and you.
Bet you didn't see that coming
