Project: Daedalus (Issue #1)

Damn it Tyrone! Is this how you keep a low profile?! Assulting an Officer?! Sarah shoots Tyrone a venomous glare. The second he pulled us over he relayed the liscense plate number and description of this van to his Dispatch and now the clock is ticking. If he doesn't radio in within a few minutes we'll have every cop in the state looking for us!

"So much for keeping on the right side of the law,"

"Yo, he'll be fine, and it's a heckuva lot better than hurtin' him!" Tyrone noticably relaxes when the officer gets knocked out, as the officer stops resisting his powers. "I'm not the bad guy here, I'm the good guy," he says angrily. "Our other options looked boss, ladies. I mean, we could have Sam gut him, Fugi there can cut his head off with a freakin' light sabre or hey, the kid could barbeque us some bacon! Wait, wait, I know! Let's get Max to cut Minotaur loose to handle the situation!"

Tyrone pulls the sliding door open and gets out. "Lets do this and get out of here quick," he says, "before people pick up that something's up." He checks trafic, and at the first lull, grabs the officer under the arms, and starts to speed drag him to his cruiser.

I sure hope Miguel is a good as he seems at this mimicry stuff, Tyrone thinks to himself.

POWER: Drag limit of 1300 lbs. I have no illusions I'm going to carry the man to his car, I'm not strong enough. I'll use my "extra: Running (16)" power to get him to his car fast (speed 60/120/240, exerting to the fastest speed I could do it at) and deposit him in the back seat from the passenger side. Assuming I get that far without the world coming to an end (or the army descending on me), I'll cuff his hands behind his back, make sure he doesn't appear hurt, and put his cuff keys under the front seat.

Miguel quickly opens up the side door, looks both ways to make sure the cost is clear, grabs a hold of the state trooper and attempts to pull him in.

"Quick, get him in here before anyone sees him like that."

Once the trooper is inside the van [assuming that this isn't a hard thing] Miguel puts on his hat and coat, as well as taking his keys (if he has then on him) taking on the man's shape and voice [using shapeshifting and power stunt voice mimicry] and exits the vehicle. lightly tapping his head and looking towards Sarah.

"Stay in contact chica, just in case those other cerdo ask questions that I can't answer. But that don't mean you can go wandering around in there, you got that?"

Miguel walks over to the cruiser as fast as he can without drawing attention to himself and gets in, takes a deep breath and picks up the mike.

"Notify Memorial Hospital that I am enroute escorting a panicking husband who's wife just went into labour on the interstate." In a light almost laughing tone. When they ask if they need assistance. "Negative ETA 60 minutes."

If they ask any more questions Miguel will relay what ever Sarah tells him to, once he is done, He will let out a big sigh of relief and turn his head down, as if writing something down, Miguel will broadcast these thoughts to Sarah.

"What are we going to do with the cruiser and the trooper When we are in Colorado Springs, and don't these cars have video equipment that tapes everything that happens in front of the vehicle?"

How did I not spot that cruiser? I guess I wasn't the one speeding but I should've seen it coming... Kiro thinks, bowing his head low and sighing.

Let's get Max to cut Minotaur loose to handle the situation!"

"It's not a sabre, it's a Katana and it also isn't my only trick..." Kiro states solemnly, eyeing Tyrone with an almost disgusted look on his face.
 

OOC: Okay, I'm assuming the cop is in the car, not the van, though whether that changes is up to you guys.

Miguel speaks with dispatch, who doesn't hint any suspicion, and she asks no further questions. (Bluff check 24 vs DC 12 Sense Motive check)

Jaya waits nervously. "Are we ready to go?" she asks Sarah.

And what about talking our way out of it? She sighs, calming herself down. Look, I'm sorry about snapping, but your last resort should be attack. Especially with the cops unless you want to get yourself shot.

She watches Miguel in the squad car in the rear view mirror. Thanks for the invite, and I'll mind my manners. Her thoughts sound in his mind as clearly as if she's talking to him. ((POWER: Telepathy (15), but since he's invited her I don't think he'll resist her unless she tries to probe further into his mind than surface thoughts.)) There's nothing we can do about the dahsboard camera, and unfortunately it will have caught everything. Turn off your radio, the first dial on the left, and then turn on your lights - yellow switch just to the right of the wheel - but no sirens. We'll follow you until we get to the city limits, but then you get those lights off and come in behind the van. People will remember a police escort through the city and the less people who can say they saw us, the better. I'll help you deal with the car and Trooper when we get where we're going.

Sarah shifts in her seat, the gun pressing against her back making it difficult to get comfortable, and speaks to Jaya. We've got less than an hour to get in, get what we need to make it to Nebraska, and get out of the City. Watch your speed this time, will you? I'm not fond of attacking Cops.

"What? No siren? Where is the fun in that?"

Miguel opens the back door of the cruiser (I am assuming that we put him in the back, making it harder for him to get out) and frisks the state trooper taking his gun, pepper spray and anything else that may be used as a weapon and puts them on the passenger seat. Once completed he will turn off the radio put on the lights and pull out in front of the van and head towards Colorado Springs

I am also assuming that the back is closed off and he can't just reach over and take the weapons

"I'm sorry," Jaya says, "that was stupid, I know. But better an single police officer than the national guard. We need to hurry and get these chips removed..." she nervously adds, stating the obvious. She watches as Miguel drives past, and begins to follow. "Colorado Springs is only 20 minutes away, we shouldn't have any problems getting there quickly. I just hope that trooper doesn't give Miguel any problems..."

OOC: The car does have a fenced of back, Mimic.
 

Obviously awakened by the activity, Aaron is simply sitting in the back corner of the van with his mouth agape. He is totally in shock after having seen his friends assault and impersonate a policeman.
 

Assuming nothing else happens Miguel will drive as fast a Sarah recomends until they reach Colorado Springs, when they hit the city limits he will turn off the lights, slow down, let the van pass and start following it.

Kiro notes the look on Aaron's face and leans towards him as the van speeds off, in a lowered voice he says, "It may not make sense to you, but sometimes good people have to do bad things... Just try to remember if we were bad guys, we'd kill, maim, destroy things without thought. If you can see the pain in a man's eyes when he must hurt an innocent, you know he's one of the good guys."
