EPIC M&M: Issue 7 (IC)

[Velmont]

"That I don't know. Yet,"

"Probably will soon though. 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,"

"Talking about it, maybe she has a tracking device on her. Someone could look for that."

"Who wants to play escort to the Major?"

"I'll be interested to escort her. Better to know now with who I may have to deal in the futur." As he says that, he can't stop his body to become more straight, as he use to be when he talk to a superior.

 

[Gideon]

Michael, 5/5, hunky-dory

Smiling a Carl's bunny and much less so at Dara's cat. Michael looks at Raisa with something like determination.

"Have to say sorry. Just cause he is ugly and a little snobbish doesn't make ripping the guy's wing off good. I am cool with me after I say sorry. He can do whatever he wants."

 

[Mordane76]

X12 heads out to an unoccupied exit from the library were he can observe the main gates and watches for several minutes, waiting for an opportune time to attempt to slip out. With the arrival of the M-Tac carrier, he will wait and attempt to slip out during the commotion. He will attempt to leave through the front gate by simply walking out while everyone else (other than ARIS obviously) is otherwise occupied. If he cannot, he will attempt to Disable the mechanisms holding the gate shut (Disable Device).

 

[Mimic]

"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.

"Well thats irony for you." Michelle whispers to Tara

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

"We'll go too," Michelle adds volunteering herself and Tara. "Ah, right after I get changed that is." she says smiling sheepishly as she heads towards the change rooms.

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

Johan

"What is it? Jennifer just saw a ghost, literally, so this is not exactly the best of times to chat, I'm afraid."

Jun Po's eyebrows arch just a little. "It is fortunate for you, then, that I did not come for idle conversation," she says, stepping into your room. Despite being dressed in a long dress that somewhat restricts movement, she manages to get in without fouling her outfit or doing more than brush by you. She quicly spots the young girl and her ever so inconspicuous sidekick. "You must be Jennifer," she says with a small smile.

"Um... yup, that's me," Jennifer says.

"My name is Jun Po."

"Ohhh. You're one of the bad people Mr. Split warned me about," Jennifer says bluntly.

Jun Po smirks slightly. "I do not believe Mr. Split has correctly classified me when grouping me with the 'bad people,'" Jun Po says patiently. "Thunder has asked me to ensure you are kept safe until the Mutant Tactical officers have left the base."

"Johan and Mr. Bunny keep me safe!" Jennifer says.

"Wraa!" exclaims Mr. Bunny.

"Does he now? And you are confident in their ability to protect you?"

"Yup!"

"Wraa!" exclaims Mr. Bunny.

"And what about you, Johan. How confident are you?"

You can't quite place your finger on it, but something in her tone carries more than a question. It' carries the subtle suggestion of danger.

Michael
"Alright, but let's wait at least until after M-Tac is gone," Raisa says. Somehow, she still has a full plate of food balanced on her hand. "And after breakfast. Chef can make something better for you than jerky," she says, poking you in the ribs on the way by.

"What were you and Cosmo plotting," she asks, sitting nearby. "Not going back to being the most hated people around I hope."

WAR ROOM
"Don't let her bring any weapons or scanning devices, guys," Thunder says as Neutron and Speed Demon turn to leave. Neutron flies out of the War Room, Vince zipping along in tow.

"Hey, wait up!" Anna says, bursting out of the room with a woosh. "Weeee!"

"Aw man," Johan says with a sigh. "I just can't keep up," he complains, banging his head on the table.

"Talking about it, maybe she has a tracking device on her. Someone could look for that."

"M-Tac gives every one of their operatives subdermal locating devices. Typically on the back of their right wrist," Thunder says.

"I'll be interested to escort her. Better to know now with who I may have to deal in the future."

"No, stick around here. Empath can get you coded into ARIS so you can have access to the system."

"Yes, this will take just a moment," Empath says, moving from behind Cosmo and Loki towards a terminal. "Come over here, Jeremy, and introduce yourself to ARIS as you'd like to be adressed."

"Well thats irony for you." Michelle whispers to Tara

"No, that's normal," Tara responds.

"We'll go too," Michelle adds volunteering herself and Tara. "Ah, right after I get changed that is." she says smiling sheepishly as she heads towards the change rooms.

"They'll be there before you get changed," Tara says. "Don't waste your time."

"Change? Good lord no," Cosmo says. "Um... after you went to all that work getting your outfit," he says with a slightly embarassed toothy grin. "Not that black and grey doesn't suit you," he adds quickly.

Loki makes kissy faces behind Cosmo secretly. Tara is desperately trying not to laugh.

IN THE SCHOOL
X12
As you lurk watching the front gate, you see Vince, Anna and Neutron heading off towards the Tarmac as you see a black hovership heading towards the compound. Soon afterwards, Kodiak and Trailblazer stroll out to the gate and effect some sort of repairs. It only seems to take a few minutes before they head back into Headquarters.

As you stare out the door, you hear a faint tapping of a cane on the floor, coming towards you from the school office.

 

[Agamon]

Sanjay sets down on the Tarmac and watches the hovership land. "This Majors chick gives me the wigs, y'know?" he says to Vince and Anna. "There's only so much you can replace with cybernetics before you become more machine than human." He pauses and scratches his jaw, a nervous habit, as his metallic skin doesn't itch. "No weapons or scanning devices...how do we know that eye isn't a weapon or scanning device?" he adds, awaiting the captain's emergence from the hovercraft.

 

[Velmont]

Jay, 4/4, Healthy, [4,2,2]

Jeremy walks up to the terminal. He looks a moment at it and tells. "Jeremy Alfredson York". He pause and asks Empath with a lower voice "The name is enough?"

 

[Dalamar]

"If I can hold myself against Stryke, I think there aren't too many threats Mr. Bunny and I can't stave off. Presuming, of course, that retreating to a more advantageous position is not an available option," Johan says to Jun Po as he gets back to the process of getting his armor on, abandoning his glove in Jennifer's care for the time being. Despite his words, Johan does not have absolute confidence in his own abilities. However, seeing as how Mr. Bunny was on equal standing with Carl, he does have confidence that they can indeed hold off most attackers.
While he notices nothing clearly wrong, there is a nagging feeling at the back of his head telling him that something isn't right.

 

[Mordane76]

X12 slips out, not waiting to be seen by whomever is coming down the hall. He makes his way for the main gate and attempts to exit the compound.

 

[Gideon]

Michael, 5/5, hunky-dory

"Fair enough." Michael grumbles and then starts piling a plate full of food. Food that hasn't found the ground yet.

"Has someone else stepped up to be the most hated guy at school, yet? I'll give 'em the position."
