EPIC M&M: Issue 7 (IC)

[Agamon]

WAR ROOM
Thunder gets a strange expression at that point. "Hmmm... tracking device," he mutters.

Sanjay stares ahead, oblivious to this.*

"Guess you shouldn'ta told that chick Johan broke Jennifer out of jail, huh Sanjay?" Loki says to Neutron with a laugh. "Uh, did I say Sanjay? I meant Vince...uh... Cos... uh... I'm pretty sure it was Dara actually. Yes, definitely Dara," Loki says with an embarassed grin.

"Way to go, Sport!" Cosmo laughs.

"Wuh..." Sanjay says before turning to glare at Randall, then at Cosmo. He then turns sheepishly to Thunder. "Erm...I didn't mean to tell her anything. I was just cutting into him for doing something dumb without considering the consequences," he explains...with a straight face.

*Paranoid as I am though, I think this is somehow...indirectly related to Neutron...

"If we are tracking Split I am totally in." Vince's gaze drifts across all the faces in the room lingering for a moment on Thunder, "He is still in possession of my wing and I want it back."

 

[Gideon]

Michael, 5/5, hunky-dory

"Thanks Carl, It would be hard for him to run that way, but I don't think thats gonna help." Michael gives a wry grin at the kneecaping and Carl's easy manner about disfiguring someone.

Michael gives a shrug "Well, You can come if you want Raisa."

 

[Dalamar]

Johan, 5/5 HP, half-way done with getting armor on

Johan looks surprised.
"Are you saying that there is a sixth M-Tac on the perimeter? For five of them seemed to have already been captured," desbite the fact that he isn't completely sure if Jennifer is correct or not, Johan starts pulling on his armor (including the glove that Jennifer packed in her bag). The knock comes when he is only half-way done. He grabs his gadget harness and turns to Jennifer. "Please hide in ARIS for the moment, and wait for me before leaving anywhere, okay. I wouldn't want anything happening to you."
He starts pulling his harness on and goes to the door.
"Who is it?"

 

[Velmont]

Well, Split came to get blood samples from the institute and Jennifer was the one that disabled ARIS completely. She can merge with computer and electronic systems, travel inside them losing her physical body, and animate or control machines. She can even take entities and objects from the virtual world and keep them sustained in ours. That's why Split was using her, and why M-Tac wants to lock her up.

Jay nods to show he understood.

No wonder she is the center of attraction. Knowledge is power... don't remember who said that first, but if she can broke out in any terminal like throught paper rice, I don't blame M-Tac to want to lock her up. Now, wanting and doing is two things.

"Guess you shouldn'ta told that chick Johan broke Jennifer out of jail, huh Sanjay?"

Jay's face show some surprise at first but quickly relax.

Now an EPIC member help someone broke out of prison? Well, I should hear the whole story first before judging, but relation with M-Tac will be colder now I suppose.

"I think I'll need to be brief a bit more about that case, but that can wait later, but one last thing, someone knows how M-Tac have learn Jennifer was here? Or it is just a common knowledge she escape and hide here?"

Pausing for a second, X12 hefts up something from the desk and throws it into (and hopefully through) his ARIS screen.

"Screw him, then. Thunder wants to cut me off, then I'll just go on my own," X12 says.


X12 closes his door behind him and heads for the library. He calls up directions from HQ to Jasman's address and prepares to leave.

EPIC Headquarters
Mega-city of New York
October 27, 2120

Johan
"Always work in pairs," Jennifer says. "My glove!" she shrieks as you try to reclaim your glove from her bag. A brief tug of war ensues that you strongly doubt you will be able to win. She also adamantly shakes her head when you mention hiding in ARIS.

"Ghosts are sneaky. They can follow me and make me leave when they want," she says with obvious fear, jumping when the knock comes on the door. "Don't answer it! It could be a ghost!"

"It is Jun Po," comes the calm reply. "Please open the door." She is speaking in flawless Mandarin leaving you with little doubt as to her veracity.

X12
You may detail how you are going to leave the compound

Michael
"I have to see a rabbit about a gun," Carl says exiting the cafeteria.

"I need to see a cat about some clothes," Dara says suddenly, exploding into movement and running towards the dorms with a squeal.

Raisa shakes her head. "Calm her down China did not," Raisa says. "Alright, I'll come if you want, but I don't think Vince is going to be all that receptive. I mean, this is just asking to get hit; why even bother?"

WAR ROOM

"Wuh..." Sanjay says before turning to glare at Randall, then at Cosmo. He then turns sheepishly to Thunder. "Erm...I didn't mean to tell her anything. I was just cutting into him for doing something dumb without considering the consequences," he explains...with a straight face.

Thunder really looks like he wants to say something to you, but manages to hold his tongue.

"It doesn't matter," Empath says. "Whether you told them or not, they would have found out when they came in force to reclaim Jennifer, probably from her."

"If we are tracking Split I am totally in." Vince's gaze drifts across all the faces in the room lingering for a moment on Thunder, "He is still in possession of my wing and I want it back."

"What the heck you gonna do with it anyway, sweetie," Sanchez says, coming into the room, a toolbelt around her waist. "Bronze it and hang it on your wall?"

"Glue it to your back so you can be even uglier?" Cosmo suggests. Empath whaps him on the back of the head.

"Oh, oh, I know! You could attach it to a helmet and use it a speed fin!" Loki jumps in, creating a little illusion of Vince with a big winglike fin on his head running down the table. Loki too gets cuffed.

"Both of you can be quiet or leave," Empath suggests.

"I have a little problem using Jennifer as bait," Thunder says to Vince. "But I'll get over it. It will have to wait, however. We all have a more important job to handle starting tomorrow."

"I think I'll need to be brief a bit more about that case, but that can wait later, but one last thing, someone knows how M-Tac have learn Jennifer was here? Or it is just a common knowledge she escape and hide here?"

"That I don't know. Yet," Thunder says.

"Probably will soon though," Sanchez says. "Saw a black M-Tac hovership heading in from the city on my way up here. Not really moving in a hurry mind you. Well, I'm in need of breakfast," she says, unconcerned, heading out the door.

ARIS breeps to life. "Incoming communication."

The screen blinks on to reveal Captain Carmella Majors on the screen, cybernetic eye and expressionless face in all it's glory. "Requesting permission to land," she says without emotion. "Have my agents ready for transport," she says.

"You can land on the Tarmac and wait for an escort to Headquarters. We'll discuss your agents when you arrive," Thunder responds, shutting down communications with that. "What a fun start to the day," he says with a sigh.

"Who wants to play escort to the Major?" Thunder asks.

 

[Agamon]

Sanjay rolls his eyes. He doesn't really want to deal with Robo-lady, but sees an opportunity to try and make up for his earlier lack of discretion. "Yeah, I'll go get her." He rises in the air, pausing only to hear any final instructions before zipping off towards the tarmac.

 

[Elementor]

"I'll go with Sanjay, Captain Majors might not have come alone." Vince turns and walks casually out of the room before kicking in his superspeed and dashing alongside Neutron to the Tarmac.

 

[Dalamar]

"Calm down, please. I'm sure the other ghost was amidst the captured M-Tac." Though the odd number does lend some credit to her claim.
Johan opens the door for Jun Po, though right now he thinks everything is falling apart around him.
"What is it? Jennifer just saw a ghost, literally, so this is not exactly the best of times to chat, I'm afraid."
