“Because I believe that it will take more then just brute force to win this conflict. Overseer will not only attack us directly he will work to undermine every institution we have. He will attack our will, our bodies, and our souls. Mankind is weak, we have to break them to deny him a resource. The fact that I cannot see you, that fact alone is important,” Cardinal replies.

"I disagree about the first, breaking an ally or at least a force opposing our target isn't a sound tactic, but that isn't anything we can fix now. Your actions, which are foolish in my opinion are done and now we must suffer the consequences." Cassie says as she finishes her meal. "Now, what do you have planed for me? I am curious, though I hope you'll at least allow me to pursue the investigation into my past. Jun Min was reluctant to explore further into my mind after Chance's first appearence, but mental defenses that strong point to something repressed or hidden. Even if I am not some lost reincarnation of an Eternal, I want to know my past."

She has grease stains on her overalls, and smudges on her face, she squeals with surprise seeing him there, “You scared me! What are you doing here?”

Gilden's smile gets bigger as looks at Gadget hanging upside down from the ceiling, somethings never change and in this case it was a good thing."I came to see you, I assumed that you probably haven't eaten in some time so I brought some food with me. Unfortunately," he says looking around at the other people, "I only have enough for the two of us. I didn't realise how many people would be here."

Unfortunately," he says looking around at the other people, "I only have enough for the two of us. I didn't realise how many people would be here."

“Oh what a sweetheart,” Gadget replies.

Her head and upper torso disappear up into the ceiling’s tangle of cables. A moment later she drops down from another open panel, carefully landing on her feet. She adjusts her glasses, “How did you know I hadn’t eaten? Okay I guess we can use a break, take fifteen minutes and then we get back work!”

The crew relaxes visibly some continue working, others lean back in their chairs closing their eyes and some stumble off to get some much needed nourishment. Gadget is already tinkering with a control oblivious to the self imposed break, “SARAH keeps telling me I need to take a break, but I am pretty sure that there is so much work to be done, we can’t possibly stop now. Don’t you think? Plus Paragon wants this control center secure and fully operational… it is secure… it is operational… but it could stand to use a little more tweaking. I mean look at this,” she gestures to the now open panel exposing the vital electronics underneath.

“It’s like they don’t even care about my poor babies,” she sighs looking wistful, “What have they been doing to them? Wait did you bring me food?”

Cardinal stands, “Humanity as our ally? Humanity is many things, a tool, a source of cheap expendable labor, and perhaps even fodder; but they are not our allies. They were planning to exterminate us, if our numbers became too numerous. Their need for self-preservation far exceeds any other desire.”

“Do you believe in destiny?” she asks.

Ryan, Clover, Anika, and Karen

Tina looks at the interplay between Ryan and Anika and throws in her two cents, “We want to help James, and you want to help James. But you are the boss, so if you want to do things the legal way then I am all for it, as long as you can promise results.”

Sariyah looks up, “I found them… they are not in Chicago,” she looks at the map running her fingers across the states, pointing to where some relatives live. Sariyah points, “Right here…”

I will allow Karen to pick where said relatives live…

Ryan rolls his eyes dismissively. "Of course. The UN cares about James, but not about the hundreds of people we could help in Cairo, which is far less dangerous than some Pantheon fortress in Iran. And when whichever daycare counselor in charge here says no, you're going to ignore that order, which specifically relates to you going and has no deniability."

Ryan frowns, staring down at Anika. "Just like you're ignoring the fact that, you know, we've kind of taken you into confidence about this. But hey, feel free to ignore that all you want."

"And who's problem is that?" Anika says defensively. "Going to Cairo would be a public mission, getting James isn't, that's a big difference, trust me. Besides, if we all openly defy orders, we're in trouble. I'm sure there are a lot of elites that are willing to do whatever they ask for the money they pay, so I'm sure they'll just tell us adios. However, if we at least ask if we can go, there's that possibilty that they'll let us go. If not, we get to tell them adios ourselves and then they can't tell us what we can or can't do.

"And having the UN to back us up in case we get in over our heads isn't a bad thing," she adds.

"My teleport spell works just as well no matter what a UN suit tells me, so no worries there." she replies to Tina.

Sariyah looks up, “I found them… they are not in Chicago,” she looks at the map running her fingers across the states, pointing to where some relatives live. Sariyah points, “Right here…”

Anika beams at the news about Karen's family. "Alright, hey, you're better than MapQuest," she quips. "I'm Anika, by the way," she tells the girl, offering her hand. "You wouldn't happen to want to take any other requests, would you?"

Clover watched queitly as Anika and Ryan argued back and forth about getting authorization for the mission. She agreed more with Anika's arguement but whichever way it turned out she would be happy to help if she was allowed to, and that wasn't really a given. The UNJE had no reason to allow her to accompany them, she wasn't a part of the team and even if she was put onto the team immediately an extremely valid arguement could be made not to include her until some training exercises were run to get all of Legacy to Jell since the roster seemed to be continually changing.

"Getting possible backup from UN forces in Iraq if its needed would be worthwhile. That area is retty much a keg just looking for a spark what with half the area hatin on elites and the other half luvin us." she finally comments. Going back to listening she watches Sariyah use her owers to try to find the crystal girl's family paying particular attention to the flow of energy through her body.

OOC: I fixed an earlier typo on clover's sheet, she can copy 20pp worth of powers not 25pp. If Sariyah's an elite she can copy 20pps worth of powers of my choosing. She'll use the powers to ook for her family. They'd theoretically be in some embassy or other.

"Don't be so dramatic. No one in the UNJE is going to fire me...between Overseer and Pantheon, they can't. Not that they would for going on some little private rescue mission. And maybe you didn't notice this, but we're kind of the best this school has...so unless they want us to get our asses kicked all the time like Justice Elite Beta, they're kind of stuck with the talent."

Mapquest. I was going to make that Sariyah's new nickname too. I can't use it now. That would be too unoriginal. Although seriously Anika, I'm not going to forget this. Now despite the fact that I asked you not to, and gave you a fairly convincing reason, and that this was my idea, Anika Knows Best decided to swoop in and involve the UN. In the future, I'll have to remember that you're just as unreliable as Mark.

I never would have called Paragon a suit. Therefore, the suit is whoever the hell she was meeting with earlier. And apparently during this meeting there's some kind of problem with us getting publicity. And we've never worried about getting replaced before, so it's possible that this meeting discussed that. Ryan smirks bitterly.And now Anika is placing following the rules above friendship.

"While you call your boss, why don't you tell us what that meeting was about?"

"Getting possible backup from UN forces in Iraq if its needed would be worthwhile. That area is retty much a keg just looking for a spark what with half the area hatin on elites and the other half luvin us." she finally comments.

"Is it? I really only pay attention to the sports scores. But that's an equally strong argument why any kind of official UN mission is off-limits...why risk further destabilization?"

"Is it? I really only pay attention to the sports scores. But that's an equally strong argument why any kind of official UN mission is off-limits...why risk further destabilization?"

Clover smiles indulgently at the joke, she hoped it was a joke, planning something and not knowing what was going on in the area was a good way to get blindsided, especially an area with high sentiments on both sides. As to his pointing out that it was a reason why an official mission would be a bad idea, that was faulty thought, but there was no need to point that out. Elites acting on their own could run into major trouble depending on which side of the border it was, but acting as members of the UN it shouldn't be an issue especially going against Pantheon in a UN member nation.

To be honest I have not actually statted her powers up in any realistic way... so yeah... umm lets skip that for now.

Cassie looks thoughtful for a moment, a line from a movie she had watched with Yoshi comes to mind. "There is no fate but what we make." she says simply. "We make our own fate/destiny/karma whatever you call it."
