Sanjay glances over his shoulder with a confused shrug. "What? Let who see you? The cops? SAP? What are you so afraid of?"
He frowns with some disapointment and says, "Look, I just wanted to thank you for your help. Vida would be dead and I probably wouldn't be much better off myself if you hadn't helped us." He considers turning to head back, but first adds, "You know, if you need help, I'd gladly do so."

SAP Headquarters
Metal Mistress, Straightjacket
Straightjacket reaches up and easily pulls himself up through the hole in the roof, his elastic body stretching up. His father smacks Michelle on the rear hard enough to resound through the room and earn him another hard blast. His form flashes bright green as he absorbs the damage and he flies up after his son with a laugh. Cosmo leaps up another of the openings, right to the roof. Tara follows suit, clinging to the side of the hole and scuttling up like an insect.
Quickly making his way to the side of the building, Straightjacket tries not to glance down from the dizzying height, then grows to full height and starts sliding his way rapidly down the side of the building at dangerous speed. He uses his elasticity to grant him a better grip, moving rapidly downward.
Hero point to temporarily gain clinging feat. Go kong boy go!
Climb check (DC25) with a +20 (climb plus clinging) to the roll. Result is 39, allowing you to basically move at run speed down the side of the building. Yes, I made all that up
Cosmo manages the feat with far more grace, but basically the same speed, running flat out down the side of the building as if he were on the ground. Straightjacket's dad keeps pace easily, as does Tara, flying outside the building but not darting ahead.
Michelle disappears back downstairs to give Rebound instructions, then reappears up top to find herself lagging behind the others who are zipping down towards the level 40 parking garage, and quickly catches up.
As the lot of you approach the garage, energy blasts can be seen ripping out from the building, and the sound of battle is evident. A smoking ISA Armored Hovership appears near the edge of the garage bay, moving towards an inevitable plumet earthward. You see a single armored individual standing near the ledge as well, his gleaming silver armor looking exactly like the armored guards at the research facility.

Straightjacket and Metal Mistress are up!

"Anyone!" she exclaims with a shaking voice. "Just... just go away!"
"Hey, Sanjay?" comes Rebound's voice from some distance. "Where are you, mate!?" His voice gets louder as he opens the lab door and starts to come into the hall.
The lab assistant lets out another squeal of fear and turns back quickly to the door. "Alison Vaile!" she says hastily. The door slides open immediately and she pretty much falls in. She hits a panel on the other side, and the door slides rapidly shut, leaving you with a stunned expression in the hall.
The last thing you see of her is a terrified look as Rebound comes towards you, her skin turned a rich blue-green and tears running down her face.
"Hey, mate! There you are," Rebound says as he reaches you. "Who was that?" he asks, then continues with, "Never mind that, actually! Vince and Johan are on the ground with Ms. Vaile! Some assassin is trying to off her! We gotta get down there!"
Johan, Speed Demon
Initiative: Marun 24 (2VP, power-stunned), Vince 23 (2HP, 1L), Johan 6 (3HP, 2L)
Vince leaps up with a beat of his wings, and plumets downward at his attacker, leading with his tail.
Concealment roll (low miss): 11 hits
Attack roll: 18 hits
Will save (DC15): 12 fails (VP 15 succeeds)
Vince hits hard, jabbing his slender tip of his tail into Marun. He instinctively causes a release of poison, but just as it reaches the tip, Marun yanks the tail out, his image blurring again as the poison splatters the ground.
Johan blasts at Marun again as well, narrowly missing Vince, but the stunning electricity hits right where Vince's tail did.
Concealment roll (low miss): 14 hits
Attack roll: 17 hits
Will save (DC15): 10 fails (no VP available) -- stunned
Marun staggers backward, electricity outlining his form clearly as he reels from the hit and tries to recover. As his form snaps back into focus, you see him in his ISA officer uniform, but out of place are a pair of large metal bracers he has attached to his wrists.
Will save (DC15): 14 fails (VP 24 succeeds) ... but he's not blurry as he doesn't get an action this round!
The officer with the energy net weapon is busy waiting for the thing to recharge, and doesn't get a shot off.
Vince and Johan are up again.

As you and Raisa head towards the side of the mansion, you discover Thunder was indeed correct. A pair of massive attack robots (think Judge Dread robots) are stomping their way rapidly towards a pair of men, one carrying the other. Despite the best efforts to get ahead of the robots, the machines have a good trajectory to intercept them shortly. Luckily, you'll intercept them at the same time.
From your closer distance, you can see the person carrying the other is a teen like yourselves, and bears a striking resemblance to the older man he is carrying, as well as to Kevin. That thought is quickly extinguished, however, as one robot opens up with a roar of projectile cannon fire at the pair, and the other shifts course slightly, launching a spray of bullets at you and Raisa!
Jason Alfredsson York
As you run hard, trying to find a place to safely hide your father, a young man and woman, dressed in stylish and functional uniforms come rushing around the corner of the house. They close the gap to you quickly, and you can make out the logo of EPIC on their uniforms, though you don't recognize either of them.
An explosion of light above you draws your attention and you see Thunder, unmistakeable in his uniform and crackling electrical field. Your hair on your arms stands on end as an electrical discharge hits behind you somewhere, and you hear something crash into the ground. But your attention is quickly diverted by the sounds of machine-gun fire as the massive robots chasing you open fire on you and the pair of teens rushing towards you!
Attack rolls vs JAY: 14, 12, 15, 13, 12, 22 (miss x5, critical hit)
Damage save (DC32): Natural 20 succeeds!
Attack rolls vs X12: 10, 20, 14 (miss x2, hit)
Damage save (DC27): 24 fails (1L)
With heightened abilities, Jay manages to twist just enough to avoid getting hit, just barely, but drops his father in the process. Luckily, his father, ex-military as he is, is far from helpless, and is quickly to his feet, running beside Jay towards Raisa and X12. As he hops up, he tosses a small tube to Jay, who catches it, and pulls one out for himself. Shimmering blades of vibrating energy leap forth from the tubes.
Vibro-sword: Weapon +8L (stunt: penetrating attack x3, flaw: a roll of 10 or less that misses results in the wielder taking damage)
Raisa takes all three shots without flinching, the bullets bouncing off her and into the ground about her. X12 nearly avoids getting hit, but one bullet tears through his arm, leaving a painful wound that will be slow to heal.
Well behind Jay and Lord York, the armored individual that Thunder knocked from the sky is climbing to his feet. Without question, the EPIC members know that is "New York" now; the clone of Kevin who broke off after Kevin mimiced Split. That of course, explains a lot to X12.
Above the field, a battle you don't want a piece of rages. Tank fires in an effort to keep Thunder at bay as you hear the screams of ram-jet engines as a quartet of small, flying, robotic hoverships launch from the trees behind the mansion and streak upwards, guns blazing at the powerful dynamo. Crackles of lightning intercept the incoming fire, leaving Thunder unscathed. Suddenly, an electrical charge surges up from the ground, leaving you all feeling like you just licked something minorly electric in nature. Lightning crackles up into the two robots on the ground weakly, as well as into New York, but for the four flying robots and Tank, the effect is far more visible and devastating. The robots explode violently, and Tank's armor momentarily loses power and the Anarchy villain crashes through the roof of the mansion.
You've lost sight of Michael, but he hasn't resurfaced just yet, so he must still be recovering.
Initiatives: Initiatives: Thunder 26, Michael 23, X12 22 (1L), Jay 21, Lord York 21, New York 19 (1L), Super-Killer Robots 11 (1D each), Raisa 11, Tank 8 (1L)
X12 and Jay are up, and both are within striking distance of the robots.

Sanjay stares in confusion as the girl moves into the room, only half listening to Rebound. "Wow, talk about shy." He turns to Rebound, realization finally coming to him. "Did you say someone's trying to kill Ms. Vaille? Bloody hell, I hate this place." He takes a few quicks steps before lauching himself into flight down the hall, back to the room and out a window, desending to the ground.
