"Definately a clue" Bastion agrees as he watches Century girl descend.
He readies himself to follow, going through the focus exercise in preparation for mainpulation of his kinetic fields. it takes only a few seconds before he follows scanning the stairwell for cameras, alarms or worse...

(occ so can I apply my skills to looking for traps (cameras, lasers, alarms)? Rolled 5 + Search [4] +11, Disable Device [8] +15, or Knowledge (technology) [8] +15)

Glory follows them down, raising his fist, illuminating his hand and any darkness around him.

"Hmmm. Snake symbol leading to secret passages..Missing child...Advertisement for Voodoo rituals. I wonder if there is some sort of connection?" Mnemonic mused outloud.

He followed the others, his trademark goggles amplifying what available light there was so he could see better.

OOC: Using Mental Quickness whatever rolls are applicable

<<bump>>

 

[Tonguez]

Bastion turns his head back to look when he hears the bump.~He can feel the nervous tension rising in his stomach but reasons that close to Century Girl might be the safest place to be if anything does happen...

Bastion turns his head back to look when he hears the bump

Ow!

The Entrapper rubs his elbow and looks up at everyone.

Sorry... I uh,... banged the display case... with my elbow. I was distracted...

His distorted face is vaguely visible through the featureless black mask covering his head. Right on the funny bone too. Wow, that hurts.

Chapter 1: The Coil

Beneath Freedom Zoo, Feb 14th, Evening

Century Girl is the first down the stairs. It is a very basic set of cement stairs, built into the recessed floor beneath the Serpent Exhibit. There is light coming from somewhere down below, most likely around a corner. Century Girl continues on as Glory and Bastion follow her down the stairs. The Entrapper, Nanite, and Mnemonic take up the rear.

None of the heroes spots any sort of alarms, traps, or electronics of any kind down here.

The stairs lead to a door, a heavy metal door enscribed with a larger version of the same snake symbol from above. The illumination down here comes from a large exposed bulb just above the door.

As soon as Century Girl makes a footfall at the bottom of the stairs, everyone can hear the sound of metal grinding, as a large plate covers the entrance from above. More sounds of sliding objects can be heard above.

Once all of the sounds have stopped, the heroes are staring at the door. There isn't an obvious way to open the door, though Century Girl is pretty sure she can find a way to open it

Century Girl was a rather simplistic and direct soul. The blonde heroine immediately pressed on the inlay, thinking the doors would operate on the same principal, but she was quite ready to force the issue.

OOC: pushing in the inlay, if not she wiill immediately force the door via brute strength.

 

[hafrogman]

Nanite scowls as the door closes behind them. The question is. . . did the door close by itself or did someone close it for them. Getting it open again won't be a problem, but it might be noisy. For now he contents himself with examining the door ahead of them.

"Let's see what's in there, shall we? Gimme a second."

The nanites swarm over his face for a moment, and he blinks as a silvery sheen covers his eyes. He concentrates on the doorway for a second.

[sblock=ooc]4 points into Super Sense: X-ray vision. Can't penetrate lead.[/sblock]

The Entrapper steps away and looks at the door.

A glowing white sigil appears over his face.
OOC ESP to look beyond the door.
