Why aren't you reporting on this?"As she is reading it, she starts to receive more, and the mobile devices of Uomo, Frost, and Felix also start buzzing with missed messages and calls.Notable texts: All Gryphon employees From Robert Gryphon: I've been trying for an hour, where the hell are you guys?  What happened in vegas?Uomo From Claudia: *Several messages, basically boiling down to* 'are you hurt?  Tell me that wasn't you?"Uomo from Robert Gryphon, 20 minutes ago: I don't know if you're dead or what, but CALL ME when you wake up, I've got four agents down trying to stop this madness, I pray to god I haven't lost you too.  if we don't stop this it'll be War!Over the next couple tense and confusing minutes, they discover what has happened - In his pain-addled throes of awakening, Grid had been throwing off interference, disrupting any service they may have gotten, and now that he's managed to stabilize himself, the interference has abated, allowing for the deluge.  Upon reading their missed messages, they quickly discover that they've missed much in the intervening hours, and with some quick net-searching from the recovering Grid, they put it all together.Three hours ago, The Drake Centre in Washington was bombed by 'Pro-human activists', quote "in retaliation for recent mutant assaults against humanity in Washington, Brazil, China, and last night's massive explosion in Vegas."Further checking reveals that shortly after the team left the city, the research lab they had been at was annihilated in a massive fireball that partially collapsed nearby buildings and starting several fires.  This occurred while emergency crews, police, and much of the research staff were on site about the break-in not half an hour earlier, killing many emergency personnel as well as the head researcher, Doctor Noah White, and several government agents investigating possible Meta-human involvement.  Based on early reports, a mutant terrorist known as Hassan, who had previously been involved in the infamous school attack, is the primary suspect, though considering reported sightings of another suspected Mutant terrorist, Jacob Calvins (Frost) within Vegas in the hours before the bombing, he is also being sought for questioning.There have been numerous reports of attacks on and by meta-humans since then, culminating half an hour ago in an attack by several powerful mutants against the Lyons Foundation headquarters.  They have taken the place over and are holding William Lyons hostage, though have not offered any demands.[ooc]Alright, After some thoughts, I had originally intended a meeting with Phoenix and then some time off before the next mission, but I decided to go with a storyline I had planned for later, but which should be more active/fast paced to mix things up a bit since the last two chapters have both been primarily 'stealthy' missions against non-powered opponents. (With the exception of Frost vs the mad scientist)For the record, yes Hassan IS the 'explosion causing super-terrorist' that you guys rescued and have in the van with you, so obviously neither he nor Michelle the pyro demolished the lab, and you are quite certain the damage you caused would not have resulted in this happening nearly an hour later..Grid gains the 'injury' complication until further notice, which will be haunting his physical activities for the first bit, and will gain HP if I decide to have it impede his activities.  Anybody who gained extra HP last issue retains it for the current issue, if you remember it and post about it in your first post here as a reminder!   As well anybody who used HP/luck regains it for the new Issue.  *EDIT: Also, Frost gains a HP for his 'known face' complication as the country is currently being reminded of who he is and the police will be on the lookout for him.I am preparing an OOC post about powers/upgrades for everybody.  Keep an eye open for it, but I wanted to get this up first as the game seemed to have stagnated a bit.[/ooc]</blockquote>
