Mutant High Issue 2: A Hard Lesson

[Relique du Madde]

"No offense, but theres enough anarchists and disenfranchised anti-establishment types around that it shouldn't be too difficult for them to recruit a bunch of misfits to join their cause. Besides, if they really wanted to take us out, the X-jet would have been shot down by an RPG or a surface to air missile while we were over the city. Lets just pray that your idea about them going after Cerebro and the teachers is incorrect because like it or not, the only way they could snake cerebro is if Magneto was leading the assult team. If that's the case, then I doubt he would bring anyone except for his best and most powerful team mates into combat; meaning we're going to be walking into a blood bath..."

-School-
Astrid turns from Derek and heads to the sounds. The closer she gets, the more she can tell that it's a battle, "We shouldn't be doing this, you could get hurt. The others aren't here this time, we should get somewhere safe!" Derek's words chase after her, though he does follow. When they finally arrive at the cafeteria where the sound's coming from, they are greeted by many unconcious forms, and a few still standing. Just inside the hole in the wall are the two invaders. On the far side is the cyborg from yesterday. Closer to Astrid and Derek is a very large man in full metal armour with a dome-shaped helmet. "EY CHARLIE, Were ya at? Juggie's here to say 'ello!"
As the two students arrive, they see Beast and a few other X-men who they hadn't known were there (Gambit, Angel, and Iceman)

Also, in case anybody is wondering how fast the X-jet is and how long it'll take to get back, well the X-jet moves about as fast as the shark in Jaws - It moves at the 'speed of Plot'.

And no, Im not using the movie's "Juggernaut is a mutant" thing, he's still a magically enhanced guy like in the comics, he just works with the mutants.

Temper will attempt to transfer the dossiers to a screen near Miranda (Computers +5; trained) and then bring up topographic maps of the institute and grounds.

(Assuming success): "Here you go," she replies.

 

[Relique du Madde]

"Ah hell no..." She bit her lip as she flipped through each of the brotherhood member's profiles. After reading the last entry she glanced towards the front of the jet with a nervous smile on her face. "So, if that Rogue chick shows up as part of the assault team, you're all expecting me to focus my attention on her and not on her team mate(s)*?"

"Anyways, do we have direct access to the school's security camera feed?"


[Sblock=OoC]
*That is assuming that Rogue is included in the Brotherhood file. If she's not then ignore that comment.

[Victim]

"Why would we expect that course of action?" she asks. What am I not getting here? ... Oh!

"Alisha Fury would be another possible objective."

 

[Jemal]

"The school camera's are on a closed, guarded circuit specifically so they CAN'T be accessed by outside sources."

[sblock=ooc]
Yes, there's info about rogue in the 'suspected brotherhood' dossier's.

"Electronics are made to be cracked, Lemme give it a go." Serena said, cracking her knuckles and sending out her own specific electronic powers out.....

Astrid's heart sinks on seeing the array of enemies lined up here. These weren't a handful of punks like before. These were the real deal. The smart thing to do would be to let the real X-Men take care of this. What could she do, after all, that Iceman couldn't, and a thousand times better?

"Phase," she says with a dry mouth. She can hear her throat click and has to cough to clear it. "I need water...as much as you can make... Just please, before you go, do that..."

 

[Relique du Madde]

"But why would someone want to kidnap Nick Fury's daughter? He seems like the type who would rather send a heavily armed team to end a terrorist situation and not the type that would even think about negotiating with terrorists. Magnito wouldn't really receive any benefit from kidnapping Alisha..." She gulped. "Unless, of course, Magneto was planning to have SHIELD go and massacre a group of his followers just so he could trick the mutant population into revolting against the government. But even then he would realize that the X-men would get involved to prevent that sort of disaster from happening."

Serena is busy trying to hack the closed circut security system to bother talking. In her mind's eye, the system resembles a glowing hub around the school, with pockets of energy and shapes moving in that network. She can sense the AI in charge of it and coughs, tapping it on the perverbal shoulder.

To her, the AI looks like a old, whipcord lean man, glowing with light. Talking to machines always kinda reminded her of that old movie 'Tron' she once saw with her parents. She guessed that sort of helped her mind wrap around the concept speaking with such weird things.

"Listen, the school is under attack alright? I'm with Prof Summers. Lemme see what's goin on!" she says, trying to persuade the AI controlling the system to let her in. "We need to see what's going on. Can you patch it through to the X-Jet without screwing up the works there?" she bit her lip in thought.

"If you want, I can maybe patch you through to the X-Jet, let you talk to him directly. But we really need to see what's going on. Innocent lives are at stake."
