Project: Daedalus (Issue #2)

"I pity you your life so far, then, Miguel. Not everyone is out to get you. A little paranoia is healthy, but if you never let anyone in, you're in for a lonely existance," Screaming Eagle mutters back.

To Tyrone she says as she frowns at Calvin "Let's just say he can be very persuasive, right, Calvin?"

"Aw, man, you're not still mad about that, are you?

"Oh, no, of course not. You were only manipulating me."

"Not on purpose!" Calvin just shakes his head, but he's still grinning. "Geez, everytime I see you, I have to apologise for something I didn't even mean to do."

"And yet, you never do actually get around to apologising."

"And I'm always the one that ends up with the headache from you two complaining to each other," Andrew says, rolling his eyes.

Jaya walks off to the side of the group, a forlorn look on her face. She takes in the large concrete and metal buildings as they walk. She notices something out of the corner of her eye that draws her attention.

"Calvin," Jaya says, "are there other elites working here besides you?"

"Yeah, of course. Elites are imprisoned here, and they need elites to make sure they everything runs smoothly, y'know?" He says, looking her way, curiously. "Why do you ask?"

"Yeah, that makes sense. I have this knack picking out elites from the baselines. I knew you were an elite when I first stepped from the aerodyne, for example. Thought I saw another one over there," she says, pointing to a building. "Didn't get a good look at him, though."

"Ah, that would probably be Chip, he always working on the computers in there." Calvin grims once more. "Wow, you people seem pretty jumpy. I suppose running from the big, evil pharmaceutical corperation will do that to you though, hey?" he jokes.

"You people are in for a treat. It's Sunday, I think roast beef is on the menu this afternoon," he adds as you continue to make your way past the buildings.

 

[Calinon]

"Yeah, the big evil drug company," says Tyrone with a shake of his head. "Maybe we're a bit jumpy because they were working with some branch of the government, and, well, we're in the middle of a not-so-happy place controlled by the government. Actually, this is about the scariest place I could imagine being at this exact moment. Kinda wishin' we did this thing at a Super 8 or somethin'. Not quite the scariest for Neutron though. I think he's likely more scared of visiting his new nurse.

"So, roast beef is a treat around here, huh? Oh boy! Prison food!" he says with a smirk.

"I pity you your life so far, then, Miguel. Not everyone is out to get you. A little paranoia is healthy, but if you never let anyone in, you're in for a lonely existance," Screaming Eagle mutters back.

"I don't need your pity Eag..." Miguel angerly hisses back to Screaming Eagle before he regains control of his emotions, he takes a deep breath and lets out a sigh before he starts to speak again.

"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have snapped at you. You've held up your end of the deal so far and I shouldn't be so suspicious. It's hard to let go of the past, I keep waiting for the other shoe to drop." Miguel whispers to Eagle, shrugging his shoulders.

"For what it's worth, I do trust you. If I didn't I wouldn't be here."

 

[Agamon]

Screaming Eagle features soften ans Miguel speaks and she just smiles in response.

"Ah, the legendary Tyroc and his unique sense of humor," Calvin says, his ever-present grin still plastered on his face. "Sorry, lobster and filet mignon was yesterday."

You reach a building with glass doors, that Calvin reaches to open when all of a sudden a siren begins to blare out from all around. Calvin's demeanor quickly turns serious as the guards begin to look about alertly. "What the hell?" He hits a button on his watch and simply says, "Report!"

"Sir, it appears we have an intruder, Sector G," a voice responds from the watch.

"An intruder?" He quickly glances back, making sure everyone is still accounted for. "Have you dispatched Monica?"

"She's currently off-duty, sir."

"Dammit. Fine, I'm near there, I'll investigate it immediately. Send back up, pronto."

"Yes, sir."

"Getting past the walls undetected is nearly impossible...unless they got in during the window opened to allow your aerodyne in," Calvin says walking back, speaking to Screaming Eagle as he does. "That's difficult to do without coordinating it."

"What are you implying?! Like we would have anything to do with this?" Screaming Eagle blurts back, offended. "You ever think it could have been someone inside?"

Jersey Devil starts getting mad as well. "Yeah, where do you get off..."

"We don't have time to argue. All of you, follow me," he says, curtly, moving back the way the came at a very quickened pace.

 

[Calinon]

"Feel the love," Tyrone says in jest as he brings his powers up about him. "Hey, furball, race you to sector G?" he says with a grin to Jersey Devil. "That is if those puny wings of yours can keep up with me," he finishes as he runs a circle around him and pokes him in the ribs as he passes by.

Powers: Force field activated, along with run speed.

 

[Mimic]

"Well, isn't this an interesting turn of events..." Miguel will say quitetly to those around him as he starts to follow the annoying English man.

Edit: Miguel will attempt to mimic Tryone's powers

 

[Elementor]

"Oh goodie, time to get shot again....."

Aaron bursts into flames and flies after the procession rushing to Sector G. He will particularly pay attention to any spacial disturbances.

Powers: Full body Energy shield with Forcefield up and flight. See invis and Tracking feats to spot anything unusual....well more unusual.

 

[Deva]

Can't anything ever be easy anymore, Sarah sighs quietly as the procession turns back the way they came. With hands in her back pockets she follows along, wary of anything and everything.


POWERS: Force Field/Mental Shield; Listen; Spot
ACTIONS: Sarah will follow behind the others, keeping her sheild and guard up.

 

[Agamon]

"Where's Sector G?" Jersey Devil asks as he runs along with the rest of the group.

"Right there," Calvin says, pointing to the building Jaya had pointed out the first time you passed it. "I don't think it was Chip that you saw," he adds to Jaya. "You're certain it was an elite?"

"That's all I'm certain of," she replies. "What's in this building?"

"Oh, nothing much. Just the generator and computer mainframe," he says a bit of worry creeping into voice.

The group reaches the entrance where two guards stand watch. "Have you seen anyone enter here?" Calvin asks.

"No, sir," one of the gaurds answers.

"Stay here and make sure no one else enters...or leaves."

"Yes, sir."

He places a hand on a sensor near the door and it unlocks. "I have a feeling that if anyone wanted in here, they'd go for the generator, we'll head down there. You men," he says, pointing to the 6 guards, "go upstairs, make sure no one is up there."

"Yes, sir," one repsonds and they immediately start up the stairs.

"I can't ensure your safety, but I could sure use your help if you're willing," Calvin says to the rest of the group. Not waiting for answer, he begins running down the stairs two at a time. Screaming Eagle and Jersey Devil immediately follow.

"I'm not going to be too helpful here," Neutron says, sitting in his wheelchair.

Max wrings his hands nervously. "And I do not wish to release the beast unless absoultely necessary. I will remain here with Barrett."

Jaya nods wordlessly and starts down the stairs.

 

[Calinon]

Tyrone zips down the stairs, force field swirling about him. As he passes Miguel, he says, "Now'd be a great time to get to copying, if you catch my drift."

As he catches up to calvin, moving faster on foot than the others, he asks, "So, what happens if someone knocks out the generator?"

Powers: Sustain the force field and movement. Generally looking about as everyone else is, for the possible intruder.
