Freedom City PBP

" I've never tried but theres always a first time I suppose" Bastion grins as he attempts to work out how it might work

"so a forcefeild that can be used to carry the both of you and which I can maintain as I fly to our destination - okay..."

still hovering Bastion tries to generate a horizontal feild and then move it around him, feeling the eddying flow of kinetic energy as he test for stability before seeing if it will carry a load

(ooc okay Insight can I do this and what will it involve? I'll go check my chracter sheet now)

[sblock]So that unidentified shielded hanger is not military or Freedom League, and shielded against radar penetration and datalink? Looks promising. Are there any antenna's, satellite dishes, or other communications devices on the outside that I can try to hack? How about a radar scan for land lines? Are any signals being emitted that I can tap into? What about external security controls? I also use analytic to determine the nature of the shielding if I can. I look into all that stuff from afar, but I do not approach it to try computer control or animate machines or anything like that. Not without backup. [/sblock]

[sblock]The unidentified hangar could be military, but it would have to be some sort of secret military project that's not on the books (you'd have access to any official military installations around here).

There is a strange tube protruding from the top of the hangar, and electronic signals are being emitted from said tube. Your scans indicate that it's some sort of transmitter. Using your Datalink power, you should be able to tap into the signal.

As for external security, you don't see any guards posted outside. This could mean that it's low priority, or it could be an ominous sign that you either can't find whatever is guarding the hangar, or security is being provided in some other way [/sblock]

Sure, Bastion can spend a Hero Point to gain a Power Feat (Flight - usable by others) that would enable you to bring everyone along until you get to the airport. Assuming that's what you want to do, the next post will be at the airport.

By external security I meant keypads or other exposed electronics that could be tied into the systems inside, but I guess now I should fear mini-stealth bombers.

I try to tap into the signal and see what I can find, and after listening for bit I'll see if I can use the connection to hack systems connected to it (unless it turns out to be not what I'm looking for). Also, if they ARE exposed electronics like a keypad, I'll try to see where I can get from there with datalink. [/sblock]

[sblock]Something resists your attempts to penetrate both the signal and a keypad that you eventually find on the hangar's exterior. This resistance is mostly likely coming from some sort of advanced security program, though it's also possible that something is dampening the use of your powers in the area of the hangar.[/sblock]

[sblock]So the security even extends to wireless communications that have already been broadcast into the air, thus leaving the system? Can I find anything about the emissions using analytic? Even the frequencies? If I can, I'll cross-reference them with the FCC and other licensing databases to see who or what, if anyone, legally has access to those frequencies, and somewhere else to find what devices might use such frequencies. I communicate what I have found to AEGIS over a secure connection. Meanwhile, i'll just watch the area to see if anything happens (i.e. I wait to met the other PCs). [/sblock]

[sblock]Yes, the communications format being used is detectable with your powers, but the encryption is something you've not yet been able to crack. You can spend extra time doing so, and I'll assume you do until everyone arrives.

The FCC has nothing about the frequency you're monitoring. In fact, the frequency itself doesn't appear within the bounds of what the FCC controls. When you contact AEGIS, the response you receive is that the frequency you are monitoring is what is known as a 'super-scale' frequency band, a highly secretive band used in very specific usage, usually in military or espionage applications. Nothing more about this frequency band can be revealed at your security clearance level.

Your superior at AEGIS contacts you about 10 minutes later (consider this to occur before the other characters appear). He asks you to provide details concerning the super-scale frequency and where you found it being used in Freedom City.[/sblock]

[sblock]I tell him what I know, and send data through to AEGIS if they want it. Furthermore, I continue to use my Comprehend Codes power, and if necessary, my computers power, both boosted by my computer quickness power, to try to decode what they are putting out.[/sblock]

Satisfied that he can maintain the horizontal feild Bastion invites Ras and Entrapper on board and then rises up into the air the force plate in tow and his passengers holding on.

It takes a few moments to get use to the balance but they soon see the airport ahead of them...

Entrapper scans the horizon at the rapidly approaching airport.
OK. So this base of their's is under the ground right? The entrances will be hidden I suppose.
He looks around at the highways approaching the airport, trying to make out a cluster of white vans.
