Mutants & Masterminds: San Angelo

Spyder: To Centurion "Wow thanks... I fell as good as new..."

“You are welcome.” Centurion responds to Spyder.

Ringmaster: "So now, how are we to notify the authorities? I would prefer to look at the abduction site before they get to it. They seem to always be sloppy when they conduct their investigations."

“I suggest we quickly go to the area where the man was attacked.” Centurion says to Ringmaster. “While you look over the area for clues I will find a payphone and notify the authorities of the attack.”

Centurion turns and speaks to the now uninjured man. “The police will have questions for you, I’m sure they will happy to notify your wife that you are well.”

“I will fly above and keep watch as we leave the zoo to make sure the man-wolf doesn’t surprise us again.” Centurion says to the others. If there are no objections Centurion takes to the air and stations himself 30’ above the group.

The man, who introduces himself as Ben Haines, leads the group out of the zoo (assuming that someone helps him over the fence) and down the road about a quarter of a mile from the main entrance. He walks slowly, as if trying to remember where exactly he was when he was attacked.

Suddenly, he breaks into a trot, running over to some shrubbery where he leans down and picks up what appears to be a battered briefcase.

"Well, this is my briefcase so I suppose I was around here when everything went black," Ben says. His briefcase is broken open and some papers are scattered about nearby. As Ben is looking into the briefcase, he suddenly groans. "My disks are missing." He drops the briefcase and begins to comb through the bushes looking for them. "Damn, the boss is gonna be really ticked off if I can't find the disks. Hey, you guys are superheroes, do any of you have like x-ray vision or radar sense or something? There were three CD-Roms, do any of you see them anywhere around here? They're kinda important. I work for a genetics research company."

While Ben and the group search, Centurion finds a nearby payphone and makes a call to the police. They state that they will have a cruiser sent to the area, which should arrive in about ten to fifteen minutes.

Other than the broken briefcase, scattered wet papers, a piece of Ben's torn suit jacket, and some tracks that appear to belong to the wolf creature, there is nothing else out of the ordinary nearby.

Sam looks around, "No X-Ray vision. That would be cool. But I can see in the dark."
 

Remaining very Quiet Kiro begins to ponder what, if at all, this has to do with his father. He could very well somehow be attached this scheme... but...


Kiro stands around and absorbs all the information he can. As soon as he hears or see's police sirens he is going to go invisible.
 

Spyder will look around also with his Dark Vision. When the cops start getting close he is going to get a bit shy and hang out in the back of the group, looking at the groud allot.
 


Despite searching for a few minutes, no one is able to locate any disks. Ben goes around picking up the scattered, water-logged papers and stuffs them into his briefcase. You all notice that many of the papers appear to be official company letterhead, with the name of the company emblazoned at the top of each page. The company is apparently Helix Technologies. None of you have ever heard of Helix Technologies before.

About this time, sirens are heard and a few minutes later, two police cruisers pull up nearby. Four officers get out and approach you. Three of the officers stare in apparent awe mixed with suspicion but the fourth officer appears unfazed with your appearances.

"I'm Officer Hodges," he says to you. "You don't see too many so-called supers together outside the Justice Foundation. Someone want to tell me what's going on here?"

Ben proceeds to tell the story as he knows it, from his car breaking down to walking past the zoo to everything going black to waking up inside the wolf habitat and finding all of you helping him. Hodges listens without taking any notes.

After Ben finishes, Hodges turns to the group and takes statements from all of you that are willing to give them. He doesn't appear overly suprised to hear about a wolf creature if anyone mentions it to him. Then, Hodges tells Ben that he'd like to take him downtown for an official statement and then they'll ensure that he gets a ride home.

Ben thanks all of you for your help back in the zoo and then leaves with the officers.

After helping the man and answering the officer's questions, the Ringmaster waits until they're gone. Upon them leaving, he turns to the others. "Well, we may have not found any physical evidence, but I think I now know what the man-wolf thing may have been after to begin with. Well, I shouldn't say that the man-wolf thing was after it, but somebody sure was." When the others look quizically at him, the Ringmaster replies. "The CD's. He works for a bio lab. Somebody, or something was most likely after those disks. If the man-wolf wasn't, then somebody else WAS and used the man-wolf to take Ben away."

As they discus what they do and do not know, the Ringmaster looks to the group once again. "So, what do you all plan to do here? I mean the Justice Foundation seems to be involved in something a bit bigger than this, otherwise they probably would have beaten us here. I would like to persue this problem, but I fear that even my resources may not be enough. What about the rest of you?"
 

When the police are in earshot Kiro takes a step back, behind even Spyder, and then turns invisible. Hoping that no one says anything about his invisibility, he stays that way leaning against a wall for the entire time of questioning. When the police are gone Kiro becomes visible again.

Pondering while he was invisible he put 1 and 1 together and decided on a few things. Helix Tech ... Wolf Creature ... Missing Discs ... Unhuman Creature ... Father ... Kiro rembers the time that he was following Greg, one of his fathers co-workers, and a friend of the family, and he saw him meet up with an Unhuman creature. Kiro was too far away from the meeting to clearly see what it was, but unhuman creatures cant be too common can they?

Thinking that this may have something to do with his father, or even just lead to a clue or 2 about his fater, Kiro decides that perhaps it is benificial to join this group of unlikely heros. After all he may beable to pummel a few punks in the process, and that is always fun.

OOC: GM please go to the OOC thread
 

Spyder gives a short statement to the police, again wondering about the Justice Foundation. After Ringmasters statement, Spyder looks around to see the reaction of the others assembled here and finally says "Ah yea someone sure wanted those discs. And that man-wolf, he's dangerous. Someone could get hurt. I'm willing to help in any way I can."
He then quits down and looks around to see what the others are going to do. He wonders if maybe, just maybe we could be a group like the Justice Foundation

;)
