Freedom City PBP

[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]

[sblock] Additionally, Surge checks airport records to see who OWNs the hanger and look them up in turn, and check into building permits etc. relating to the site as well. Also, while talking to the bossman at AEGIS, he says "So this hanger makes me suspicious, but there is not presently any way to tell if its good suspicious, bad suspicious, or some-random-corporation-is-way-too-paranoid-about-industrial-espionage-and-this-has-nothing-to-do-with-anything suspicious. Now, I know that there are secrets and there are SECRETS, but you know how I get when I get suspicious, and I'm not interested in getting into any of what our friends across the pond like the call "blue on blue" action tonight. So, there is something I "need to know." If I am to stand down, now is the time to make the call." [/sblock]

[sblock]Dr. Franks, your contact/handler with AEGIS, calls you back within a few minutes. "Well, I have some news regarding that hangar. Turns out it may be one of ours, meaning U.S. Government. Still, we're interested to know what may be inside. That super-scale frequency has me curious. Something like that really shouldn't be operating inside a civilian area like an airport."

He transmits some blueprints for the hangar. "This is the original layout of the hangar in question. No doubt it's been modified from what you've described. My sources tell me that it might be CIA, but be careful. If the hangar is what I suspect, it may contain some fairly serious defenses. If you somehow manage to get inside, get what information you can about its contents, then get the hell out of there. We can't risk having you... destroyed."

After another minute, you receive another call from Dr. Franks. "Surge, I received word that some supers might be coming your way. They're friendlies, and in fact, you might be able to help each other. See if you can track them down. I've been told they are flying at a vector that should bring them fairly close to where you are. Try to keep them away from the hangar if at all possible. They are NOT cleared for that sort of information."[/sblock]

Freedom Airport, Feb. 14th, Evening

Mnemonic and the Entrapper arrive at the airport along with Bastion on his flying force disk. You've been able to steer clear of the populated areas, and haven't stirred up any sort of commotion with your unusual mode of locomotion.

Landing on a grassy hill overlooking the tarmac, you are about 100ft from the electrified fence that forms the airport's perimeter. Freedom Airport employs not only security guards on foot and vehicle patrol, but also hidden security cameras and other secret security measures designed to slow down even super-powered intruders.

You've tracked the trio of white vans to the airport, but you're not entirely certain where they may have gone once inside the airport grounds. Unfortunately, the FCPD cameras don't have access to the airport itself; their coverage stops about where you stand right now. There are civilian parking lots surrounding the airport, both inside and outside the secured area. There are also lots for airport personnel, and those reserved for those flying on chartered or private aircraft. There are, of course, parking lots for rental cars and trucks in addition to those described above.

You'd probably get a better look at all of the parking lots with a flyover, but you're not sure if this is a wise move, given the airport's level of security.

[sblock]Just as you complete your last conversation with Dr. Franks at AEGIS, you see three supers land nearby. You're pretty sure they haven't spotted you. They stand on a grassy hill about 100ft from the airport perimeter. You see three male humanoids, all of whom look fairly normal. One of them wears a fedora or something. You don't recognize any of them from your files. They must be fairly new to the Freedom City supers scene.[/sblock]

[sblock] "Well, I guess that means I should scratch "TOW Missile To The Front Door" off my list of entry plans. Seriously, though, if the CIA is acting outside their jurisdiction, might it be better to go through channels on this? Or is there something else in there I'm needed for? I see those heroes coming now. Perhaps I will figure out a reliable entry method and come back later, but for now all I have time to do is keep them away and continue working on the Diaz case."

Mnemonic starts scanning the area with his eyes looking for areas that would likely be the access point for the hidden HQ.

OOC: Mental Quickness.

Surge goes out of sight, and finds his way to the other heroes (if he can safely use the electric fence as a medium, he'll teleport to the other side. Otherwise he goes invisible and uses fly to hop the fence, if he knows that to be possible...presumedly he'd know some things about the security system). Either way, he'll appear behind the others, flickering into sight like a old CRT going on.

He is visible in his costumed-ish form, displaying his AEGIS badge.

"Yo, costumes! I hear you're looking for that Diaz kid. So am I. Name's Power Surge...Security Consultant and Private Eye, on retainer with AEGIS. So what brings you to the airport?"

Meanwhile, he's continuing to scan for clues as to a possible Yellow Sign base.

After taking a moment confirming the veracity of the AEGIS ID (Mental Quickness, Eidetic Memory) Mnemonic answers still scanning the area.
"Yes, my name is Mnemonic and this is Entrapper and Bastion. We found one of thier bases and suspect they brought her here. They may also have others. We were thinking it is for some sort of ritual sacrifice. Any clue where the entrance is?"

"Unfortunately, no. I found evidence that they have a base here as well, but I have since hit a dead end. What led you here?"

 

[Tonguez]

"Hello Bastion pipes up after getting passed the intital shock of the stranger manifesting behind them "um good trick that, um we got some information from their base at the zoo that there was a base here at the airport." Bastion offers " Surveillance video showed white vans heading this direction, we think the vans belonged to the Yellow Sign Cult.

So what info have you got on the yellow sign, since we don't have much else to go on."

(RE: the good trick) "Your tax dollars at work."

(RE: The rest) "White vans, eh. Now maybe we're getting somewhere. Hopefully they were dumb enough to keep them together." (While talking, Surge searches for the vans with radar imaging...does this new information put anything else that he saw before in a new light?). "Some things about the Yellow Sign, I do know. They apparently worship some Babylonian god called Dagon, and have been around since the Victorian era. In Freedom City, the only name we have to associate them with is a British Astrophysicist who used to work for AstoLabs named Sir Edward Norrington...but he disappeared back in '04."
