Project: Daedalus (Issue #2)

[Master_Pugs]

The dull flash returns, brighter this time, as a slight grin crosses Kiro's young face, "I thought I sensed something in him, neat trick, let me show you mine, then we shall discuss your quiet return to confinement..." He laughs dryly and bows his head, light flashes from his eyes and mouth, sporadic at first, then becoming solid, his eyes become torches, his mouth almost a searchlight as he seems to grow, muscles rippling out and knotting togethor. The light from his mouth and eyes seams to bend around him, and above his head, it rebends around itself, spinning around itself, growing tighter and tighter, wrapping about itself then redoubling, taking on the appearance of a blade. It solidifies, almost a physical thing now, although it still shimmers brightly, Kiro, face still down, reaches up and grasps the pommel and the light suddenly flares out, causing you to avert your eyes for a moment. When calm returns, mere seconds after it all began, Kiro is standing in a nimbus of pure white light with a glimmering yellow blade held to the side, his left eye now a deep pulsing light, giving off a haze of semi-solid light almost like smoke, he grins at the shadowy figure and points the blade in its direction, "Shadow against the light, sounds like fun, let us see what you've got..."

Powers: Raising my forcefield, boosting and summoning my light blade... I can do that right? If I'm not mistaken it takes my whole turn but is possible.

 

[Calinon]

Still burning hp to regain consciousness.

 

[Mimic]

Jersey Devil smiles at Miguel as they leave the room. "Yeah, he gave our entire team a helluva lot more trouble when we put him here. But then he got the drop on us...that and we were trying to stop him from blowing up a nuclear reactor."

"Shouldn't we restrain him somehow? Who knows how long he is going to be out."

 

[Agamon]

Sarah

The guard nods in reply to Sarah, and gets on the radio, requesting assistance.

"I guess, we'd better just watch them until then..." Jaya says.

Tyrone, Kiro
Initiative: Wraith 27, Guard: 10, Shimmering Samurai: 8, Tyroc: 6

Tyroc groans as he comes to, and though his sight is somewhat blurry, he can see a gleaming Kiro facing off with a shadowy figure down the hall.

HP spent, Con check 19, Tyroc is conscious but dazed. What's he do?

Aaron, Miguel

JD looks back at the knocked-out form of Nash, and nods. He looks out the hole and yells, "Neutron, just a sec!" He turns to Miguel and says, "Barry could probably seal him up in something. Can you bring him up here? Or if you want to do it yourself, I'm sure he wouldn't mind..."

[Deva]

She nods, looking around for anything that could be used to restrain the unconscious Pantheon members. "While we wait," Sarah says in an even tone, glancing at Jaya occasionally during her search, " Maybe you can tell me why you said it was your fault when I collapsed?"

 

[Calinon]

"What the heck hit me..." Tyrone groans, staggering to his feet. Looking about quickly, he focusses blearily on shadowy figure beyond Kiro. "Ok, that's weird. I'll pick him as the bad guy."

His force field flickers again around him without much thought, and he concentrates on the half seen shadow, bringing up rings of force from beneath his feet to try to paralyze the shadowy figure. "Hey, stick around. He slices, he dices, and you should see his fries," he says more bravely than he feels, still trying to clear his noodle.

Powers: Groan in pain (free action), Get the hell up (half action), Force Field (free action), Paralysis (half action, WILL save, DC 18), Annoying quip (free action)

 

[Mimic]

Aaron, Miguel

JD looks back at the knocked-out form of Nash, and nods. He looks out the hole and yells, "Neutron, just a sec!" He turns to Miguel and says, "Barry could probably seal him up in something. Can you bring him up here? Or if you want to do it yourself, I'm sure he wouldn't mind..."

"Hmmm, I don't want to lose what I got, but I always wanted to try this." Miguel floats up so he has a clear line of sight to where Neutron is sitting. "Hey amigo, smile, your on candid camera." With that Miguel will attempt to mimic Neutron's powers.

ooc: spending a hero point to get the extra: extra subject.

 

[Agamon]

Sarah
Jaya looks up at the question and sighs. She stumbles a bit over her words as she explains. "Well, I meant to tell you about this before, but...well, in the van, I knew you guys didn't trust me a whole lot, and, after the attack at the farm, it was so overwhelming, I must have forgotten, and, well..." She pauses trying to collect her thoughts.

"My power, the one I use to increase the capability of your powers, it does so by creating a chemical imbalance in your body...a rather, uh, radical imbalance, actually. Concentrated amounts of endorphins, among other things, are created in your body and released into your blood stream. The power you feel right now," she says noting Sarah's silver glow, "I've been told it's quite a rush...the downside is that, well, the body has trouble once it comes down from that rush and coping without it. It takes a little while to get over.

"I don't like using it, really, I just didn't think we had much choice back at the facility...and I needed you be in control for this situation here...I'm sorry..." she says sincerely, looking remorseful.

Tyrone, Kiro
Initiative: Wraith 27, Guard: 10, Shimmering Samurai: 8, Tyroc: 6

The bands of force rise up around dark figure. It tries to float out of the way, but is held fast. You both hear in your minds, "Nooooo, let me freeeeee!!!" Tyroc can feel it try to break free, but to no avail.

"Holy...that thing was in here?" the guard blurts out, and he fires his weapon at the still, ethereal prisoner. The beam hits, and electrical energy crackles about him, causing him to project a mental scream of pain, though he continues to struggle.

OOC: Attack hits with a 17, Wraith's save fails with a 15. His second save on his turn also fails (16). Guard hits, Wraith fails dam. save, uses reroll and still fails enough to take a stun hit. Kiro is up.

Aaron, Miguel
Neutron looks up at Miguel, "Huh, what? Hey you taking my powers? What Tryoc's aren't enough for you?"

Miguel senses no resistance from Neutron, but his power hits him like a ton of bricks. Miguel gives out a yell as it feels as though his brain is catching fire. The feeling soon subsides, but leaves him with a bit of a headache.

OOC: Neutron's power costs a whopping 11 points per rank. That's a DC 19 Will save, Mimic gets a 16, which gives him a stun hit, but he has both elites' powers now.
Edit: BTW, I should tell what that gives you...

[Calinon]

Tyrone concentrates to try to keep the ghostly person trapped, beads of sweat forming on his brow. "Kiro, man, I don't think I can hold him long. Could you knock him out or something?"

Powers: Sustained force field (free action), concentrate on paralysis (full action I'm guessing)

If Kiro manages to put whatever it is down, I'll try to get into the cell to make sure it is what we were here to stop, using the battery I took from the lights to power the lock and my l33t hackz0r skillz to crack the code.

And I'll bitch about my burned shirt.

 

[Deva]

Her eyes narrow as Jaya explains, staring at the Doctor with a none too impressed expression on her face. When Jaya finishes, Sarah arches an eyebrow. "So let me see if I get all this. Your power boost is esentially like a narcotic, getting an incredible high only to come crashing down to reality when it wears off? Considering last time you juiced up my powers was more than twenty four hours ago, and what happened earlier was just a taste of the withdrawl, I can't wait to see what happens after I come down from the second dose." She chuckles despite herself. "Great. First I'm a terrorist, now I'm a junkie. Anything else we can do to ruin my reputation?"

With a shake of her head she approaches the guard. "We need to deal with this guys quickly before they shake off the stuns. I don't fancy having to try that again. What's the ETA on that backup?"
