Mutants & Masterminds: San Angelo

[maddmic]

The Ringmaster looks at the others once they reach the car. "I can't say that I've ever been given a phone number so that I can contact another super before. At least not in that manner." He grins and begins to look around the car. He lays down on the pavement in order to look underneath the car searching for leaks.

OOC:
If he finds anything, he will tell the others. If he does not find anything, he will ask the following question.

IC:
"I don't see anything from underneath. Now the question is, do we contaminate possible evidence by looking inside?"

 

[Toric_Arthendain]

Ringmaster doesn't notice any leaks from the car when he looks underneath.

Tyke then contacts Ringmaster. "Boss, there have been five missing persons reports in the last week. None of these people have been found. None of them were last seen around the zoo either. As for Helix Technologies, they are publically known as a run-of-the-mill medical lab that performs routine DNA testing for local hospitals and law enformement but I was able to dig up a bit more information. They were founded by Vladimir Kaminov, a Russian in 1990. He came to the U.S. in the 1940's, fleeing a Stalinist purge. He is a gifted geneticist and rumor has it that he was involved in a failed effort to induce superpowers in people. I think there is more information out there, but its going to take some time to get to it, if you know what I mean boss. They have some heavy security on their computer systems. I've made some initial attempts to hack the system to no avail."

The Ringmaster pauses while on the ground. 'Thanks Tyke. Maybe there's another person here who has the talent to go a bit deaper than you've been able to thusfar.' After mentally linking with his sidekick, the Rinmaster stands up and brushes himself off. "Well, nothing under the car. No leaks, or signs of anything bad. So shall we see if there's anything inside?"

Centurion watches as first Kiro and then Shade leave. “That’s an odd pair.” Centurion says to no one in particular. “Kiro was very quiet and secretive it seemed to me, while Shade was friendly and curious and a lot more talkative. They are like the opposite sides of a coin. I wonder if we will see them again.” With a shrug Centurion turns and helps look for the car.

Spyder: "So ah how long have you had powers and stuff? I just started going out on patrol and stuff but I have had my powers for a couple of years now..."

“I have had my “powers” for roughly 2000 years.” Centurion responds to Spyder with a slight smile. No one ever believes that he is over 2000 years old. “But I too have just started patrolling in the last few months. Back in the days when I was born anyone that was different or claimed to have any power were accused of being in league with a demon, devil or some evil deity and usually killed. So I just observed humanity and the rise and fall of their empires.” Centurion says with a far away look as if remembering people and events long past. “But in recent years there have been more and more people with paranormal abilities, especially in San Angelo, that I decide to get more involved and not just observe. Ever since I was changed I just wanted to help people and be excepted in society, perhaps now I can.” Centurion stops realizing that he revealed more about himself then he ever has. “Lets hurry and find that car.”

After locating the car and Ringmaster looks it over.

Ringmaster: "Well, nothing under the car. No leaks, or signs of anything bad. So shall we see if there's anything inside?"

“Let me take a look at it first.” Centurion tells Ringmaster. Then he slowly walks around the car just staring at it.

OOC: Centurion will check out the car using his penetrating vision and dark vision looking for any obvious signs of tampering or damage.

Meanwhile, Kiro and Shade arrive back at Allison's apartment. After a few moments of her determining who is at the door, she opens it lets them in. "What happened out there?" she asks, appearing unsettled.

Probably best to be gentle about it. Sam thought. "We ran into a guy in the zoo. He was getting attacked by these wolves and got hurt really bad. But we scared the wolves off and got him some help. Then the police came and we talked to them for a little bit. Then we came back."

"Some other guys were around and they helped too."

 

[Shapermc]

Kiro just nods with what Sam has said.



OOC: WOOHOO I got my PC back today!

 

[Sen Udo-Mal]

“I have had my “powers” for roughly 2000 years.” Centurion responds to Spyder with a slight smile.

Spyder's eyes get really big (well bigger and buggier then normal) and nods his head, of course he is thinking 2000 years! No way... well he does fly and can heal with a touch... maybe I guess. Wow I am lucky to have fallen in with these powerful heroes. Maybe if they form a group I can join?

Spyder will also search around the car after Centurion has walked around it. He will defer to Centurion and Ringmaster to whether or not they open the car as they seem to know what is going on and are much better at this "super-hero" stuff then he is.

(At Allison's Apartment)
Allison looks shocked at the news of the wolves and the injured man at the zoo. "Wolves? Outside their habitat? How?" Allison asks. "That howling sounded like more than wolves..."

(At Ben Haines' car)
Centurion walks around the car using his superpowered vision to try to see any problems. After several minutes, he finds nothing. There are no obvious signs of tampering with the car's engine or any other components. If anything, the interior of the car and the engine appear nearly flawless. The car is apparently pretty new and Ben seems to keep it pretty clean.

Spyder performs his own walk around the car and finds nothing out of the ordinary either.

 

[Shapermc]

"Well Ali, were not sure how." Kiro says winking at Sam. "The police got our reports and that is the best that we can do. As for it sounding like more than wolves, well that is becasuse... the umm... Well I am not sure, but there was this HUGE wolf in the habiat with them, so he may have started it all. But then again you never know. Also I think that Sam and I may be helping the police with some... questioning after this incident. "

 

[maddmic]

The Ringmaster watches as Centurian finds nothing. "Well, the only other thing I can think of is if somebody poured suger into his gas tank. If that's not the case, then perhaps he was being followed."

As if thinking about what Spyder had asked, the Ringmaster replies to him. Well, to be honest I've had my powers for as long as I've been alive, which is relatively young compared to Centurian here. I have been around since just before the turn of the century. I was born on 1877 in New York, but I didn't come across my powers until I ran into an acquaintance of mine. He introduced me to my potential when I was in my mid 30's."

Upon finding nothing at the scene of the car, he turns to Centurian and Spyder. "Well, what now? See if the car is open and try to find some clues in there? Of course that would mean that we're invading his privacy and he might not like that. If not that, then where do you two see this thing progressing to? I have a contact who has found a bit of info out on Helix Technologies. Perhaps we could run down there and take a look?"
