Kodiak sits up on his hindquarters and shake his head.  Trailblazer zips up sneakily as the bear rubs his ursine head with his paw and shouts, "BOO!" Spooked, Kodiak flails his arms and topples over backwards, rolling head over heals down the embankment towards the garden.  A few rumbling moments later, there is a loud crash followed by a rather angry roar. "That'd be my cue to hit the trail for a little jog," Trailblazer announces before vanishing in a cloud of dust.  In the distance on the horizon, a massive thunderhead is churning its way inland from the ocean rapidly... against the breeze. X12Prophet doesn't respond to you.  Outside there is a low rumble, a crashing sound and a loud roar. In BrasiliaMichelle"I guess I'll come," Tara says, sounding unsure why you are leaving the van.  The two of you fly off, but find your speed rather limited once you get inside the city.  You are too unused to flying vehicles, electronic roadways and how vehicles travel between them to use superspeed safely until you get to a decent altitude, and that takes you quite a few minutes. As you approach the SAP tower from above, you see a dragnet around the upper floors, with many armed hoverships, both police and SAP operated, along with several armored individuals floating around.  A SWAT unit appears to be descending into the building from a rooftop swarming with security personel, through an energy field that appears to surround the uppermost floors of the building.  All other air traffic has obviously been re-routed from the building. "I do not want to go up there and get killed," Tara says, halting in mid air.  "That's a lot of angry looking people." Straightjacket, VincentAfter you change into your undamaged uniforms and gear, Ina piles you both, along with Cosmo and SJ's dad, into her van, but finds herself immediately relegated to backseat driver as Cosmo jumps into the drivers seat.  He blasts off, tearing through the streets towards the SAP towers so fast that he gains a police tail with siren's blaring.  He can't outdistance the cruiser, but he does keep ahead of it and avoid a roadblock set up to stop you. As you approach the tower, you see a familiar black van pulling in front of the ground level doors of the SAP tower, and see Rebound get out alone.  Cosmo slides the van in behind Rebound and does a rather abrupt, if well controlled, stop.  The police cruisers, now there are five of them, tear in to block the two vans. SAP HeadquartersJohanWithout a doubt, the wires are important.  You fake left, drawing an angry swing of both clubs, before diving past the ogre on the right.  He spins around, but you are still able to get a hold of the wires and give them a sharp yank, falling down to the ground as the wires pop out of the ogre's back with a violent spark.  It roars, dropping one club to clutch the other in both hands and brings it smashing down towards you! Attack roll (Johan):  15 hitsStrength check (DC 10):  14 succeeds Attack roll (Ogre):  Natural 20 (crit!)Damage save (Johan) [DC 41]:  Yes... 41... after armor... And it disappates into a thousand sparkles of light just before it would have crushed you into paste. The supervisor dashes for the door at the same time the employee frozen in place snaps the hold fear has over him and dashes madly for the same door.  The two collide, going down in a tumble, but the supervisor still starts crawling towards the door, trying to get to it... or maybe the little alarm panel right next to it... Curses on you, spot check... SanjayYou rush out of the vault and the robot floats out after you.  You immediately see the cause of distress of the assistant.  There are five holes in the security field at various positions in the roof, and a black line extends down each of them... perfect for repelling.  Which is exactly what the men in the room are doing! There are five men in black police style body armor.  Each carries an advanced firearm and has a helmet with green glass faceplate on it.  Two are already on the ground, and three are in various stages of repelling, but of the five, only two are going to end up in the lab right away.  One of those is already on his feet, training his weapon on the women.  When you burst out of the vault, he immediately swivels, preparing to take his shot as his partner rapidly drops into the room. Outside the room, in the hall, one man is making his way towards the hole you made in the wall, while one is sliding down the rope.  The other's gear appears to have fouled, leaving him hanging half inside, half outside the security field. Initiatives:  ISA SWAT 19, Sanjay 12, Robot 8 "Terrorists spotted," the officer in black says.  On his chest is emblazoned the the emblem of the SAA Internal Security Agency, the police.  "Be aware they have an assault weapons platform with them!" he exclaims as the robot exits the vault.  He doesn't delay in opening fire. Attack roll:  Natural 20 (crit)Damage save (DC20):  14 (HP to re-roll is 16) [1L] The weapon fires a nasty beam of energy that slams into your chest right where your heart is, burning through your medical clothing and leaving a scorch mark on your metallic hide.  The other officer drops to the ground and disconnects from the rope, readying his weapon to fire.  Outside, one of the officers makes it to the hole and steps through, also readying his weapon, as another drops to the floor and the third pulls out his knife, trying to cut through his repelling line that is fouled with his gear. Sanjay is up and at -1 to damage saves.</blockquote>
