Project Daedalus (Issue #4)

Sarah is still outside, waiting along with Misha and Barrett. Responding to Miguel, she says, "Six or eight hours? Wow, I don't think I can do that without hurting her badly. You say she's in pain? What's the matter? Maybe she should go the hospital?"

Nadia overhears the conversation. "Somebody is hurt? I'm a nurse, I can help," she says, hopeful to be of some help during the chaos.

Misha looks down noticing Rachel, "Relax."

"Once we get everyone together we can get the rundown on the situation, and find the best way to approach it. But the best thing we can do is keep our cool and handle this like professionals," he says aloud mostly for the younger member's benefits.
 

The best thing I can do right now is get a soda, since I'm kind of thirsty, Jennifer says as she walks inside the house, grabbing a cola from the Carter family refrigerator.

I guess now we can see how the teamwork skills of the BioGen escapees pan out. The best bet is to follow their lead. I'm at my best by myself, against a single opponent however. Despite her cool demeanor, Jennifer felt her heart beating. It had been too long, since her last brush with death...well, other than the anticlimatic encounter with Strafe and Random.

"Sure," Misha replies not really listening.
 

Tyrone looks around at everyone outside. "And who else are we waiting for?"

"It's on the news. It's one guy, and he's wrecked a big stretch of Baltimore already. He's tossing cars around like their toys and nearly threw JD through a wall. Looks like AF already took him down twice, but he keeps getting up and is continually getting bigger. He's even broken out of those cuffs they use. He was about twelve feet tall on the television, and will probably be bigger by the time we arrive.

"If they've knocked him out of commission twice and he just got up, I wonder if he's absorbing their hits. Might be better to contain him rather than try to hurt him," he thinks out loud.

"I don't know how well AF or Baltimore will fare in 20 minutes. Both are getting their asses kicked, but I think I can get there in about half the time; a few of us can probably if we push our limits," he says, indicating Sara and Aaron. "Miguel too if he copies my powers. I can probably make one person fly as long as I hold onto them, too; I've done it with my other powers. And if we can get there faster than the Aerodyne, it would probably be a good thing. Even if we can't hurt the guy, we can help get people to safety."
 

Rachel shifts to her towering hybrid form so that she can actually talk to people, but she still does shift about nervously, though its easy to see some type of visceral anticipation in her face from the way her grinning is displaying her gleaming canines. "I weigh less as a wolf then I do in my human form if you want to carry me," she tells Tyrone in her husky voice. "If it wasn't so far away, and I wasn't sure I'd get lost, I'd try and get there myself, when I really need to, I can go pretty fast, but I don't think I could get there faster then an Aerodyne or anything." she growls out.

"What is the plan gonna be? I could just eat him," she tells Tyrone, her tongue lolling out the side of her mouth to tell them it was a joke. "If an enemy is too big for a wolf, the pack circles it and nips in and out at his flanks until he is worn out, we also hamstring it with bites to its legs." she offers. "Its hard to fight when you can't lift your legs."
 

"I won't be carrying anyone," Tyrone says. "I might be able to share my movement powers. And until we know if this guy is absorbing physical attacks, I don't want anyone getting near enough to him to get hit unless they have some sort of protective power, and we really don't want to start to beat on him. It could just make him stronger," he adds.

Bursting into flame form, Aaron leaps up into the sky, "Ready to fly when you are bossman. Does that thing need to breathe? I can try to knock it out by suffocating it."
 

"I couldn't tell from the news footage, but that's worth a shot, kid," Tyrone says. "Neutron, yes or no. You saw what Angel looked like."
 

Calinon said:
"You signed the contract like the rest of us and given the situation, we probably will need everyone," Tyrone says calmly. He continues, trying to sound supportive, "Look, man, she's not going to get better today, whether you stay or not. She's going through withdrawal. Prepare for weeks of this. If you want to help her, check her into a clinic tomorrow. But for now, it's time to do our job. And yeah, Mama can handle anything."

Well technically our jobs don't start until tomorrow but I know what your saying. He tells him with a smirk. It's Just that I feel pretty crappy for bailing on her ya know. He tells him seriously.

Not hurt in a physical way, he tells the ladies as he takes them into the house and up to where Alita is lying. She is going through withdrawls, crack from what I can tell. She wants to get off of it but it's pretty painful. I was going to send her to a clinic when I got some cash but I won't get any until at least tomorrow. So I was kind of hoping you could easy her symptoms or put her to sleep, he says nodding to Sarah. And if you could help watch her while I am gone I would appreciate it, he tells Nadia.

Once he has Alita as comfortable as possible he will go back outside.

Sounds to me more like he gains strength as he is defeated, sort of like what ever doesn't kill you makes you stronger sort of thing, AF has been using physical powers to defeat him. Mental powers might have more luck.
