Project Daedalus (Issue 3)

"Or... not," Tyrone says, ducking the punch and focusing on bringin up concentric rings of force around the man, dancing backwards a step. "I don't really want to waste a lot of time here and let your thug buddy get away, so how about you just hold still for a brother?"

Actions
Tyroc (fatigued) uses his paraylsis field to try to freeze Hammer in place. We can make deflection take a half action starting now; it's easy enough. If he's frozen, I'll ask everyone in the bank to go outside and out of harms way until the cops get here.

Powers: Running (sustained), Force Field (sustained), Energy Blast (Paralasis +8; DC 18), Readied deflection versus Hammer's punch (catch if possible).

Intimidate +11 on Crawford...

Misha keeps his pistol raised, "Cease and desist Crawford, you're hurt, and you're powerless, if you do not hit the ground now, then I am authorized to use Lethal Force to take you down. You have a chance to live, thats more then your victims got."

Ready action if he does try to make any move besides going to his knees or prone, Misha will shoot him +8 for +8L, maintaining the Nullification effect of course.
 

Rachel listens to the government agent curiously, getting more excited as he goes on, hoping that he is talking about what she believes him to be talking about. "You mean a team kind of like American Freedom or Justice Elite?" the 18 year old asks the agent. "That'd be pretty cool, do you guys pay better then here though? I don't want to be all greedy or anything, I mean I'm a really good person, I just kind of like eating steak and having a roof and the doors and walls that go with it. I haven't ever really lived alone, so its a nice change and really want it to stay that way." she tells him.

"It does sound much more exciting then this place anyway, umm, where exactly would it be though, I mean, I knough it'd be all over the place, but I mean where would I be living, I'm really into pets so hopefully it'd be somewhere were pets are allowed right?" she asks, her questions starting to come out in a torrent as she gets more excited. Its easy to see that she is totally hooked on the idea, all she really wanted was excitement and there was no doubt that it'd be much funner then working at the dinner all the time.

"Frankly Svetlana... I don't think I've heard of either of you... but I'm guessing you are an elite as well..." the nimbus of light surrounding Kiro winks out and his eye dims, in a blink he appears normal once again. He bows deeply before the two, "I apologize for the rudeness of my greeting, I am Kiro Shiantsu and I'm pleased to meet you."

She becomes concerned as she looks you over. “You look terrible. Are you okay? Where did you come from?”

Kensai simply stares at you suspiciously.
"I'm fine... I suppose, a little hungry maybe... I was one of the victims of the biogen research facility, one of the escapees if you will, I'm not sure if the news has reached this far yet. They sent me home and to my surprise it seams my home didn't really exist..." Kiro's eyes flash as an idea pops into his head, "I hate to be a bother but would it be possible for me to use your phone, I need to get in touch with someone... it may be long-distance but I'd be willing to compensate you as soon as possible."
 

Jen stares for a moment in shocked puzzlement: the tree-man, the guy with the assault rifle, and the bleeding man she just struck. Huh, she says, a master of understatement.

She calmly unbuckles her seatbelt and steps out of the car, a puzzled expression on her face. Serenely walking towards the injured man, she places herself between him and the dangerous-looking duo across the street. Despite her calm expression, Jennifer's mind was whirling, trying to figure out what was going on.

Those two are clearly attacking the injured man. The tree-man is deferring to the soldier...no, ex-soldier. That makes the ex-soldier an Elite like the other two. And they're working for someone. I'm going to guess whoever they are, they don't want to shoot me.

Turning her back on the two men, she looks at the man she struck. I'm sorry. Are you alright? She then whirls back towards his assailants, trying to keep her voice calm and level while she could feel her heart racing, the surge of excitement that she craved from life.

What's going on here gentlemen?

Ben frowns and his brow furls. “I know you don’t mean that, Sarah. Do you think I’d meet you here if it was me that screwed you over?” he says angrily. “I know you’re frustrated, but I like you and I want to help you. I just don’t know what it is I can do. But if you don’t trust me, then I can’t help you, and frankly, I don’t want to.”

"Of course I don't mean it," Sarah pushes her tea aside and leans her arms on the surface of the table. "I wouldn't have shown up here if I didn't trust you. But it still doesn't mean it hasn't crossed my mind. I was just trying to point out the reason why I couldn't come back even if they allowed me to. As long as there's nothing substantial I'd suspect everyone and sooner or later I'd do something stupid and get myself killed or someone else."

An image of Miguel comes to mind and she chuckles softly. "Someone told me I had to put my old life behind me, and I guess I'm just understanding that now."

She takes a deep breath and forces a smile to her lips. "I appreciate everything you've done already, Captain. I know the awkward position this puts you in."

Sarah picks up her cooling tea and takes another drink. "But if you can't find anything out, maybe that's because there's nothing to find. I've refused to believe that it was all coincidental, but maybe it was. I was so desperate to believe that I was smarter than that, that I couldn't be made the victim unless there was some greater conspiracy. I think I have to accept that I just happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time or else I'm going to be jumping at shadows the rest of my life."

When you change shape, the thug with the knife backs off, putting the knife away. “Hey, man, ain’t nothin’ to see here. I’m just discussing things with my girl, y’know. Don’t want no trouble.”

The other two just stand and watch you. The girl doesn’t run or say anything. She just stands there sniffling.

"What a coincidence, I want to talk with her myself and no one wants any trouble. That just complicates things, and when things get complicated, things tend to get ugly."

While he is speaking Miguel will circle around the men and head towards where the girl is, he will watch the men carefully so they don't get the jump on him.

"Alita, come over here girl, unless of course you'd rather stay." Miguel tells the girl.

Saying absolutely nothing, Aaron runs back up to his room and slams the door shut.

Turning on his computer, he tries to find whoever sent that mysterious message to him.
 

Tyroc
The waves of energy surround Hammer, causing his to stop in his tracks, becoming a giant, muscle-bound statue. The few people in the bank give a cheer. You look outside to see where the other perp fled to, but he didn’t get far, as the cops are here, and he’s currently face down on the ground.

Five policemen enter the bank, guns drawn. Surveying the situation, one of them says into the radio. “Looks like we’ll need the elite shackles, bring ‘em in.” He turns to the others. “Cover him,” he says, pointing to Hammer. They move towards the large man, keeping their guns drawn on him.

“Tyroc, I see you’re back,” he says. “Good job.”

Sarah
“I don’t know that it was coincidence either, Sarah,” Ben says. “And this doesn’t mean I’ll stop trying to find out what happened. Hell, it could happen again, to someone else, for whatever reason, and I don’t want that to happen.

“But, I’m glad you’re being reasonable about this. You do need to get on with your life, that’s what’s most important. You were a damn good cop, Edwards. I wish things could be different.”

Misha
Crawford glares at you with fury on his eyes, but he drops to his knees and raises his hands. He says nothing but continues to glare at you from his kneeling position.

Mimic
Alita looks at you and then back at the man and then back at you and she moves towards you. The guy grabs her by the arm before she gets to you. “Listen up, chica. You don’t lie to me and you don’t cheat me, got it? Next time you ain’t going to have no guardian angel to protect you.” He lets her go and she moves to your side. “C’mon, let’s get outta here,” he says to the other two and head off into the alley.

Alita smiles at you after they leave. She kisses you on the cheek, saying, “Thank you.”

Blizzard
“What in the blue hell are you doing?”

The man with gun looks at you like you have two heads. “Sorry about your car, girlie, but we’re trying to apprehend that piece of sh…where the hell do you think you're going?!” he looks over you at the man he’s chasing, who just took off between two buildings.

“Goddammit!” He looks at the tree-man. “We screwed up last week, we are not messing this up, understand?” The tree-man nods. He glances at a nearby shrub and moves to touch it, disappearing.

The man begins to run after the escapee and, seeing him closer up, you recognize him as Strafe, leader of the elite merc group, Evolution. He stops a moment, looking at your car and then back at you. “You may have cost me a whole helluva lot of money, looks like we’re even now.” He dashes off after his prey.

Meanwhile, your car isn't going anywhere in its current condition.

Lupa
Dunn nods. “Very much like American Freedom, though very much different, as well. Your needs will be well taken care of, I assure you. And you won’t have to worry about being alone anymore, either.” Finally showing some emotion, he smiles at your enthusiasm. “You have plenty of questions that I’m unable to answer. I know it is sudden, but as I mentioned, time is of the essence. If you’ll come with me, I have a vehicle waiting for you and papers for you to sign.”

“Fer cryin’ out loud, Masters! You’ve only been here an hour and half and you need a break already?” Allen has come out from the kitchen to see you talking with Dunn. “I don’t pay you to patronize, I pay you to wait on the tables. Is that such a freakin’ difficult concept?” He’s louder than normal today, and the other customers seem a little taken aback by his tirade.

Shimmering Samurai
OOC: You want to use a phone…what a coincidence…

Order looks over at Kensei when you make your request. Kensei shakes his head. “Not my phone, it’s for UNJE emergencies only, I can’t go tying it up with…” his phone begins to ring. “There, see?” He opens up the phone and is surprised at who he sees. “Eagle? How did you get this number?” he says in English.

“Hello, Kanaka,” Jennifer says from the phone’s screen. “You have no idea how long it took to reach you, actually.” She pauses a moment and frowns. “Paragon’s not there, is he?”

“No, just Order…and…wait, the BioGen incident, you were involved in that weren’t you? This kid, that looks way too much like me for my liking, says he was a part of that, do you know of him?”

“Kiro’s there? May I speak to him?”

“Make it quick.”

“Don’t worry, Kanaka, I won’t waste all 200 of your free minutes,” she responds with a smirk. Kensei rolls his eyes and passes you the phone.

You see Screaming Eagle on the screen, she looks relieved to see you. “Hello, Kiro. How are you holding out?”

Elementor
All three adults watch in shock as you dash upstairs.

"He pleaded with us the whole plane ride home to be able to do this, what the hell's wrong with him?" you can hear your dad say before slamming the door.

You boot up your PC and check your instant messanger. Whoever it was that messaged you doesn't appear to be online anymore. There's a knock at your door. "Aaron?" You hear your mother's from the other side. "Aaron, that was very rude, come back down and apologise to Ms. Winters."

Misha walks over keeping he weapon trained on him, and places the cuffs on him maintaining the Nullification effect. Once that is done, he calls into ACE Control and alerts them of the situation, requesting immediate evac to his position, plus support.

Misha plants a knee in the elite's back and puts him face down into the floor. He stands placing a foot on his back, and keeps the weapon trained downward, "Good decision, Crawford."
