Somewhat more surprising, they immediately leave the foyer, disappearing into the guarded offices. As you get up to the elevator leading into the lab, you see the energy field has been pierced to allow the elevator to travel upwards to the laboratory. With no further opposition, and with the police securing the foyer for you, the four of you, plus one rather adamant reporter, gather in the elevator and head upwards. When the door opens, you are at the end of a corridor. Glass walls show offices to your right, and ahead on the left, a lab. A coil of rope, along with an unconscious ISA SWAT member, are in the hall. Near him, you can see a hole in the glass wall, well before the door, large enough for you to walk through. Just inside that hole are two more unconscious ISA SWAT members. As you exit the elevator, two more SWAT members come into view, weapons trained forwards as the edge backwards towards the wall. Moving quickly, you get up to the lab and see Sanjay, clad in a medical gown, crouched over something. An instant later, Straightjacket's dad and Rebound drop into the room through a hole in the roof, landing a few dozen feet from Sanjay. Speed Demon, JohanBoth blast victims are badly hurt, and gathering the medical kits from the van, you set to work. After about five minutes of effort, with the help of a few officers as well, you manage to stabilize them just in time for the ambulance to arrive. The second Johan does little to help, sitting on the ground leaning against the van. Johan has no mental connection with him. There is an ear piercing scream from well above you, and glancing up you see a woman plumetting from an upper parking garage, speeding earthward at terminal velocity! You catch a glimpse of several silver flashes from above her. SanjayVida isn't really conscious, but appears to be slightly better. As you check on her, there is a flash of green and black in your peripheral vision as two more forms drop in from above. These forms, however, you recognize as Rebound and SJ's father. You also see Michelle, Tara, Straightjacket and Cosmo, along with a woman you don't recognize who has a floating camera with her, coming down the hall. October 26, 2120Dover, England -- The York Estate9:00 AM local timeKevin"Of course, sir," Bernard replies. "Yeah, well, I didn't really get into that whole EPIC garbage. A bunch of sanctimonious idealists, that's all they are," he says with a bit of a sneer. "That's why I came home. I thought I'd take a bigger interest in the family business. "Oh, so Mr. Tynes is in Dover too? And ran into you, huh? Quite a coincidence," he says with a laugh, and leaves it at that. As nine o'clock rolls around, you end up having breakfast with Kevin in the dining room. You're in mid-meal when you see Mr. Tynes walking by. He spots you and Kevin and comes over. "Hey, Mr. Tynes," Kevin says with a sly grin. "Mr. York, what a surprise," Tynes replies with an equally sly grin. "See your brother got home safe and sound. Looks like the gang's nearly all here. You ready to talk about business with your... father?" he says with a pause in the sentence. "Oh yeah, definitely," your brother says with a cocky grin. "Good stuff. See you soon then," he says. "Jason," he adds, nodding to you. "You should come to our meeting too. Should prove most interesting," he says as he leaves. "Yeah Jay, may as well come with us. I can kill two birds with one stone," he says with a laugh. 9:30 local timeX12Dara and Carl end up heading off with the other elder EPIC members, while Raisa, changed into uniform despite protesting, Michael and you end up going with Thunder.  Your van pulls up to the York estate. The gate guard lets you right through, but informs Thunder that Mr. York is in a meeting and will be a bit delayed. As you drive up, you see that the grounds are pretty much deserted. With the exception of a butler that greets you, no other workers are around. "Damn strange," Thunder mutters to the rest of you. "Where is everyone? And after my conversation with him last night, I can't see Mr. York putting this off for anything."</blockquote>
