Mutants and Masterminds (Editors Thread & OOC)

Or maybe Ryan actually did hire the assassin, and I set it up with secret emails to Tokiwong.

 

[Victim]

No, he does like it. Hence the 'mmmm'. But who doesn't like pie?

Ahem, anyway, if Arifina would hire an assassin to take down some dude that didn't go out with her, she has some serious issues.

We could theorize this to death. Maybe someone wanted one of the pairs of swimming suits he bought at the mall and is really pissed that Mark got them instead.

We know that Genocide and Red Witch were involved in the assassination attempt from the cutscene. IIRC, they did to show that they could attack at any time, or something like that. They have a spy in place at school apparently. So the question isn't so much why assassinate, as why pick Mark, and why leave the note. If you have to pick some guy to get killed, might as well pick someone that you don't like.

If Ryan wanted Mark killed, he'd figure out where Mark would be, and get seen someplace. One Super flight later, and Mark is on the wrong end of an area attack. Then the body is Disintegrated and Ryan zips back. There's no body, and Ryan would be gone for less than a minute. A nastier ploy would be to convince Anika that Ryan needs to fool the spy, just in case, so there's an illusion of Ryan (who flies off invisibly).

so many theories in the works

But we also know who the spy is from cutscenes, mind you he's a Pantheon spy, not a CP spy, but I'm not sure that's that big of a deal. He picked Mark likely because he was told to, he left the note because it would point the finger at someone he didn't like. I'm sure there's a red herring in there somewhere, though...

We do know a few things from cut scenes, and now we know some more

This No Return myth that Vidalgo and now Tommy referenced to, is this infamous urban legend known to our characters?

Agamon, you're forgetting Victim's infamous "Second Spy" theory, that Pantheon and the Genocide/Red Witch faction have a spy in the school as well. I think he might be right, or may not, but whatever, let's start by killing Kiyana. And Tommy, since he's such a punk.

Only to those in the know, and for the most part when Vidalgo referenced it was one of the first times the GENERAL public, heard of it, and many think it may be some kind of plot against Pantheon or maybe elites in general, there are plenty of sites that have all kinds of conjecture and "fact"

No, I didn't forget the second spy, just forgot to reference it. Still, all else being equal, the simplist solution...ah, what am I talking about, this is an RPG.

I don't even know if there is a simple solution anymore
