Generation Legacy Issue #7 "Innocence Lost" - Part 1

[Hammerhead]

No sense of humor down on the ground. "What do you mean they're getting away?" Ryan asks, incredulous and angry. "We have people who can outrun sound waves, and you're telling me that they're just getting away?! Get after them! And if Strength's smart and decides to talk, he won't be coming down, and no, Mark, I am not a mathematical genius who can predict where a falling object is going to land several minutes from now. Ryan out," he finishes angrily. My sister is. Maybe I can try calling her. What a screwed up mission.

Ryan looks at Strength wearily, then switches off his communicator. "Sorry. I'll be honest with you: my friends are having some kind of trouble capturing your friends down below. They kind of ran out on you."

"If you thought that Mark, or Anika, or James, or whoever wouldn't let you die, you're right. They probably wouldn't. Unfortunately for you, you're dealing with Ryan, the killer. Not only will I let you die, I will make sure you're dead by encasing your splattered remains in molten lead or something, because you're a murderer."

"Still, you're loyal to your brother, and I can respect that. But we both know that VSC, or Congo, or Overseer, whoever you're working for, would sell you out in a heartbeat. How did you know we were coming?"

Mark opens his mouth to say something involving four letters to Ryan when the comm goes dead. "We got what we were coming for," he says half to himself.

He looks around and speaks into his comm again "We've done all we can here. Let's get to the evac point," he says tiredly. And couldn't have done a worse job at it short of someone coming back dead.

The Evac Point is abuzz with people as the Legacy team, makes a hasty regrouping nearly a mile from the combat site. Although Ryan is still somewhere many miles over the earth conducting his freefall negotiations, his communicator is off and therefore he is out of touch.

As the young international heroes arrive they see several representatives of different World News Agencies present, and all clamoring to get a piece of the scoop, they also see Roundhouse there with several UNJE soldiers and four STAR androids ready to handle any additional problems.

Star gives the androids a strange look, “Odd… I wonder if they are just like me,” she mused. Where Star shows emotion and seems to react to outside stimulus these androids just stand silent with blank looks on their face, it is almost as if there is no life inside them.

Roundhouse crack a grin, “Damn I guess Legacy is for real, not bad all things considered, Pramoj is in the Evac Aerodyne, any of you guys need immediate medical attention,” he gestures to Kiyana and James already on board and medics tending to the elite.

Ryan

Strength glowers, “What… would… do…” he tries to peak as the giant elite loses conscious from the lack of oxygen, his body going limp as he continues to plummet down towards the earth.

Back at the Institute

The schematics show that a vulnerable location would be the aerodyne port, from there you just have maneuver through the corridors towards the suite, but it is the closest point to the suite. Aris shrugs, “We don’t have a teleporter, but I can probably mask us all with an invisible field, at least long enough to get us inside. An aerodyne leaves from there every 2 hours and 45 minutes, like a shuttle to various locations around the city.”

Kal nods, “Sweet, but uhh how are we all getting in there, we can’t all fly?”

Jimmy nods, “Yeah actually only you and Aris can fly,” he gestures to Kal.

“Sure, but… damn that is a good question… do we have an alternate plan,” Kal replies.

“Well I learned how to fly the Raptor back home” Aris replies, "these aerodynes can’t b much harder then that, we can take one from the school and fly it in, the informant was kind of enough to give me some access codes, I can mask the ship, but its going to be a rough landing I bet.”

Kal smiles, “This plan keeps getting better and better.”

"Next comes the important question. The level of violence we're to take in this enterprise.. Are we going to keep it below the level of murder? I mean, this entire outing is illegal but if we can keep from actual lasting harm and we get caught, assuming they don't kill us on the spot, as minors we can stay out of long term prison time right? Or.. that is the sort of thing I gather in the Vids."

"We don't kill people, that isn't what we do, we just bash heads," Kal replies flatly.

 

[KaintheSeeker]

"Then there is the questions of communcation and who will serve as lead element. Jimmy and I are both skilled in hand to hand but I think I hold the edge in stealth whereas he has the edge in actual experience and strength from what I've seen."

 

[Aenion]

"I agree with Kal, no violence unless absoluty necessary," Karen listens to Cassie, Cassie seems to know what she's doing. Why haven't they put her on Legacy yet? "I'm pretty good at hand-to-hand myself I guess and I know my way around simple electronics," she shrugs, "But probably not enough for what we'll encounter there."

 

[Agamon]

Anika arches an eyebrow at the STARs. "How many did Tommy make?" she thinks.

"That was successful? I guess that depends on whether Strength talks to Ryan, that's why we came here." She looks at the aerodyne. "I just need to sit down." She glides into the aerodyne and slumps down into the nearest avaliable seat.

 

[Karl Green]

James is hovering over where the Doctors and Nurses are tending to Kiayana, with a worried look on his face. He does not notice the rest of the team (or multiple Stars) when they arrive…[occ ]

 

[Hammerhead]

The old falling unconscious chestnut, while saying something of import. I'm not going to fall for THAT one. "Yo, ugly, wake up!" Ryan calls, angrily. "You're not fooling me." Apparently he wasn't faking. Great.

Ryan will fly away from the Elite, allowing cosmic energy to flow through him, then ram straight towards Strength in a bone-jarring collision.

Boost +9, move away. Next round, Ram attack. Just checking to make sure he isn't faking.
