[sblock]Does the Entrapper know anything about the Brotherhood of the Yellow Sign? I could see it going either way depending on how you see the organization.[/sblock]

Entrapper takes off his hat and scratches his scalp....
Three bases? Secret bases. Huh.
I'm still not getting why they'd take the kid.

If we start trying to knock over these bases one by one... it might get tough. I don't suppose you could, uh, dial in to their computers? Remotely I mean.

"An organisation this secret isn't going to leave too much of a footprint in cyberspace" Bastion muses
"but then again we do have at least some idea of their security arrangements so it might be possible if we know where to start looking.

Actually " Bastion looked up at Graf and then back to Ras as he took stock of the days events and got a flash of inspiration "That ad in Super Vision I was reading this morning. The one with the ruby dust, for the magic ritual. Any chance that's linked to this in anyway?

and what might link snakes, children and the Yellow Sign? We might be able to narrow down our search without hitting each facility one at a time and giving them too much warning. Not that the explosion here hasn't given them a big heads-up that we've been investigating..."

From the footage Bastion and Mnemonic saw, it's pretty obvious the kids are being used in some sort of sacrifice ritual. I don't think the characters have explicitly told your character this information, but they should have, so assume your character is aware of this information.

As for the Entrapper's knowledge of the Brotherhood of the Yellow Sign, no, he really wouldn't have any knowledge of it. Unless there's something about his background that I missed.[/sblock]

It's not too meaningful to speculate without more information, but the base was peculiar.
On one hand we know that they close the snake exhibit an hour earlier than the rest of the zoo, which would suggest that it's being used. On the other hand it looked relatively deserted, except for the guard robots.

Who builds a big fancy house but doesn't live in it? Or was it supposed to be used for something else? Like an advance fortification?

OOC: All right, so what do your characters do?

OOC:
[sblock]Perhaps Surge can be sent to the scene of the blast by AEGIS?

Considering that it was a massive explosion in a public place, their first inclination would probably be to send someone with counter-terrorism experience. Alternatively, he could have been investigating the Diaz kidnapping, in which case he could have had experience dealing in regular kidnappings of semi-important people's kids if he had served in Central/South America during his government days.

[sblock=DM_Matt]I'm planning to have the heroes meet up with Power Surge at their next stop, whenever that happens to be.

Alternately, if this game doesn't get moving soon, I may give up on it. I know that sounds defeatist, but it's dragging big time, and there's not much more I can do to push it along.[/sblock]

[sblock]As someone who has run long-term pbp games on these boards (my current one hits the two year mark next week, the one before lasted longer than that I think) and doesnt want to see the only M&M Supers game here die, a humble suggestion: Adding new players is one of the best ways to revitalize a game, if you still want to do it. Rerecruit in the Talking the Talk thread for another player or two, and let me intro Surge.[/sblock]

Bastion is at a loss as to where to start but as he muses he gets a flash of inspiration"The video made it look like they were abandoning the place in a hurry, and setting bombs so that it would be destroyed. My theory is that it was a trap and that means that they expected someone to find the place.

The message from the shoe store, they wanted to meet us tonight. I say we go to them and see what they know about the Yellow Sign and this mess..."
