1L), Metal Mistress 20, Neutron 20, Green Armor 19, Cosmo 18 (1HP, 1L, stunned), Tara 17, Armor Suits 15 (17 -- prone), SJ's Dad 14, ISA SWAT 12 Straightjacket arrests his slide by gripping the upper lip of the parking garage entrance and swinging inside just as the hovership starts falling earthward.  He lands hard on his feet, shaking the tower slightly with his impact and finds himself in the middle of over twenty silver suits of armor spread about the immediate area.  There is an armored limosine making its way towards the parking garage exit, which Straightjacket now blocks the path to.  Among the suits of armor are two with distinctive markings.  One has red on the shoulders, elbows and knees, along with a red visor, while two others have green on the same areas.  The markings seem to denote rank.  Each and every suit has a logo on it.  It's definitely familiar.  If only you'd studied ARIS's database more closely! While severely outnumbered, Sj does have some good news.  He appears to have caught them all by surprise! Acting quickly, slams both hands straight down into the floor of the garage.  The floor ripples outward from him like a wave, and nearly all of the suits end up on their tin can rears!  The limo is unaffected. Hope you don't mind me posting for you today.  I may not get another post in until Friday. Straightjacket spends a hero point for the Shockwave Extra for a round.  The only suits that made their saves are the ones with colors on them.  The others are all prone. Michelle grabs at the hovership as it falls out of the garage and falls earthward.  It's heavy, right near the edge of her limits, but she manages to arrest its fall.  Putting it back in the garage may prove impossible with the amount of activity in there.  It is roughly 400 feet to the ground, and probably about 300 feet to the nearest rooftop of another building that could support the thing.  It appears to be badly damaged and unable to fly, and there are a number of people within. Cosmo makes the turn into the garage, running easily along the roof.  Seeing everyone knocked on their keesters, he takes advantage of that and the surprise Straightjacket caused to slam himself into one of the green armor suits.  The suit gets the worst of the impact, flying back into a pillar and giving off a huge burst of sparks before staggering forward, falling to its knees and then keeling over forward.  Cosmo sees the emblem on the armor as well. "Crap, it's MERC," he says into the communicator before glancing about at the other standing men.  He focuses on the red armored man.  "Heads up; Jackal is here." Tara streaks into the garage, ignoring the suits.  She lands hard right infront of the limo, bringing both her insectoid arms lancing down into and through the engine and into the floor.  The hovercar backfires loudly, its engine going out and it crashes to the crumbled concrete, immobile. SJ's dad flies in, his green glow surging as he delivers a crushing blow to the other green standing armor suit.  It is badly dented, but the man within seems to shake off any lasting harm, sliding back a few feet from the impact before regaining his solid footing. "Hey, someone recognizes me," rumbles the man in the red armor.  "Aint that special."  He lines up both Cosmo and Straightjacket with both arms.  The gloves on his suit vanish, turning into cannons, and he blasts at both of them with red jets of energy. Attack roll:  20 hitsDamage save (DC27):  22 fails (1L) -- you got your protection added to the save Straightjacket catches the searing energy in chest, his suit taking the hit well, while Cosmo is sent flying backwards into a parked hovership, shattering the side windows with the impact.  He slumps down, stunned. Straightjacket and Metal Mistress are up! NeutronYou zip down the hall, past the few remaining guards and make a pane of glassteel vanish, zipping ouside.  Soaring down, you see the others entering a parking garage, Michelle holding up a disabled ISA hovership.  Below, you can barely make out the streaking form of Vince, and frankly, from this height, it looks like he has things well in hand.  You probably are more needed at that garage fight than down there. It's up to you as to where you go.  If you want to partake in the garage fight, you are up as well.  If not, it's another round to get down to the ground. Rebound falls past you at terminal velocity.  "Be back up in a seconnnnnnnnd!" he calls as he prepares to rebound back to the parking garage. Speed Demon, JohanInitiative: Marun 24 (2VP, stunned, helpless, bracers destroyed), Vince 23 (2HP, 1L), Johan 6 (3HP, 2L) Vince zips away from Marun, reversing direction and delivering a fake punch to his head as he delivers a blistering blow to Marun's right bracer.  The bracer quite literally explodes, and there is a brief power surge before the second bracer suddenly opens up and falls off. Attack roll:  Natural 20 (critical hit) -- Kablooie!  It can't survive... more damage than hardness by quite some way. Johan cuts loose a blast at the now easy to see Marun, catching him the chest fully.  Marun slumps back, stunned again. Attack roll:  18 hitsWill save:  12 fails (stunned) The officer with the net device lets another net fly.  Vince calmly steps out of the way just as the net is about to envelop him, and the net hits its true target, Marun.  It slams him forcibly into the EPIC van and secures itself to the side, rendering the traitor helpless.  His gun clatters from his fingers to the ground at Vince's feet. That's some good and proper ownage there... October 26, 2120Dover, England -- The York EstateX12, JayInitiatives: Thunder 26, Michael 23 (1L, disabled), X12 22 (1L), Jay 21 (1L, stunned), Lord York 21, New York 19 (1L), Super-Killer Robot 11 (2D, other is destroyed), Raisa 11 (1L, KO), Tank 8 (1L) X12's shout at the robots doesn't have the desired effect, as both robots completely ignore him.  Half expecting that, he drops into a guard position. Jay leaps forward, driving the energy blade in a slash across the face of the robot.  Sparks fly as the head is neatly bisected diagonally and the robot, it's visual cortex and processing units destroyed, rumbles to a halt. Attack roll:  Natural 20 (critical hit!)Damage save (DC26 I think... not that it matters):  12 fails (Kerpow!) Lord York hefts the sword in one hand throws it end over end at the second robot.  The sword lances through the robot's back, the tip appearing through the chestplate before it deactivates and falls to the ground behind the robot.  The robot keeps on coming. The super-killer robot ignores the hole in it and cuts loose a single, insanely powerful blast at Raisa.  The shot catches her in the chest, driving her back over a hundred feet.  She smashes through a fountain, and ends up buried in rubble from which she doesn't emerge. New York stands up and an immense cannon forms over his shoulders, dropping down infront of his chest like a tank cannon.  A red beam strikes Jay in the back, unbeknownst to him, and moments later, a cannon blast of pure energy rips through the distance and burns into Jay.  The cannon is persistant, and New York has a solid bead on the boy. Attack roll:  24 hitsDamage save (DC27):  12 fails -- HP 18 (1L, stunned... persistant damage) The cannon is like Split's cannon. An intense barrage of cannon fire erupts from the house.  Most are destroyed by Thunder's electrical field, but he does take a few hits as he plumets downward into the house after Tank.  An explosion knocks out windows and the back wall of the mansion. X12 is up.  Jay is stunned so no action.</blockquote>
