Mutant High Issue 1: The house that Xavier Built

[sblock]
drothgery, I thought that the more powerful the psychic, the harder they're hit by whatever the kid is using. Boosting might not be a good idea.[/sblock]

[sblock=OOC]
I know that, and you know that, but I don't think Temper and Quarterback know that. And however smart he is, he's a big, strong 17-year old boy with a 16-year-old girl that he can't think of any other way to help...

*Still need people to post for combat*

[danger room]
Quarterback holds the unresponsive Gwen, noting that she seems to be catatonic, eyes still open and slightly glazed. As he debates whether or not to use his powers on her, Temper decides to carve her own way out, charging forwards through a building, incinerating as she goes, but doesn't manage her way out... yet.

Lightspeed flies straight up.. and up.. and seems to keep going.

[Mansion]
Miranda grabs onto Pyro and dissapears, Pyro becoming insubstantial with her as they quickly sink through the floor and into the sub-basement where the training rooms and cerebro are located. When the phase back into reality, Miranda is breathing hard from the exertion, but at least they're on the right level now. Should be around the next corner, second door on the left...

[Astral Plane]

The Professor and Jean run towards Gwen, scooping her up as they continue on. "I'm not sure what it is, but we're being chased by a powerful Psychic entity." Jean explains. Xavier seems to be unresponsive, his brow furrowed. "The Professor is using all his powers to keep it partially at bay.. we seem to be stuck in some sort of maze. We have to get out."

"Around.... the corner...... 2nd door.... on the left... " Miranda gave pyro a friendly hug as her body began to vanish. "Let's go!" Rather then traveling along side of Pyro, Miranda decided to make a bee-line towards the professor's location. This way it she figured it would save her from further exhaustion.

Once inside the Observation Room, Miranda materialized as she glanced into the Danger Room. to her surprise, she noticed that Eric Hassel among the the individuals within the room. She smiled. "Eric's a mutate? Damn... small world.." She laughed then activated the room's intercom. "We are... currently experiencing.... technical difficulties... Please, stand by..."

Miranda smiled as she heard the door open behind her. "We'll free you... in just one moment..."

 

[Imerak]

Molly Hayes -- Front Lawn

"All right, prepare to get pounded!" Molly quips, confidently swinging at the mysterious visitor. Her eyes glow brightly as she attacks wildly

OOC: HP 3, activating rage, full attack (+11 attack and damage), dodge focus on the intruder.

"We are... currently experiencing.... technical difficulties... Please, stand by..."

Miranda smiled as she heard the door open behind her. "We'll free you... in just one moment..."

"What's happening outside? We heard there was trouble." Someone was rather non-specific. Temper halts her advance and plants her feet to set her facing, then opens her eyes. Let's hope she can turn this off quickly.

 

[Relique du Madde]

Miranda glance down at around at the control panel and bit her lip. "Help me look for the off button.." She caught her breath and braced herself as she pressed the intercom button. "Some cyborg-kid is attacking the school, he's after the professor." She made a glance to the professor, who was slumped in his wheel chair and frowned. If only I was able to permanently heal people.. "He took out Cyclops... He was affecting Wi-fi... and um... the professors is also out..." She paused for a second then added, "Unfortunately, I'm not sure how Ms. Grey is doing..."


[sblock="Searching"]
Looking for "Off Button". I'm not sure if I should roll a search or notice check. The rolled a 9 (unmodified).

If it was a noticed check then 9 + 3 = 12
If it was a search check then 9 + 1 = 10

[Drerek]

Colossus gets nervous, "They've taken out the Professor and Cyclops. That means trouble."
[sblock=Jemal]Has Colossus ever been in the control room? Can he give her some clues on how to turn this thing off?[/sblock]

 

[Jemal]

Only teachers go in the control room. As for turning it off, that would be a Computer Use check. feel free to roll on Invisible castle and link it. If you fail, Pyro has an idea on how to get them out, though Xavier won't be too pleased on the results, if you get his meaning.
*Note we're still in combat rounds, and you're running concurrently with those outside, so don't post too many 'actions'.*

*Any more for the front yard? Still waiting on Alchemist and WI-FI*

 

[Relique du Madde]

Miranda looks at the controls and is overwhelmed. "Ugh... why couldn't the danger room use something with less buttons? You probably need a degree from MIT to use this thing.." She sighed.

[SBlock]
Miranda doesn't have the Computer Use skill and I highly doubt that an she could use this equipment untrained.

(OOC - Just as an aside, most potentially dangerous equipment has a Big Red Button that you push when something goes wrong to shut it off in a hurry. An interrupt or override of some kind. )
