Project Daedalus (Issue #4)

Jesus, I thought I saw some blood thristy bastards in my gang days. Miguel mutters to himself as he watches the "werewolf" stalk the unconscious elite.

Let me help you Sarah, he tells the telepath as he tries to aid her in keeping him out.

We don't kill helpless people Lupa. He tells her as she goes in for the kill, if she doesn't stop and he still unconscious he will lift her up and away from him.

"Well, before little miss bloodthirsty commits murder," Tyrone calls down, "let me and Misha try again to remove some of the threat he poses. He's still fighting off the effects of my slowing power, but if I can get that locked on him and Misha can nullify his power in the next few minutes, he's done. Then we get him loaded in the Aerodyne and high-speed his oversized butt to Dallas. They can keep him sedated there. We might have a few minutes here."

OOC: If it gets down to my turn again without any change in the situation, I'll boost my power again (HP to counter fatigue) and try to slow him.
"Good idea... Lupa stand down... you will be the weapon of last resort... no one else has to die today... not if I can help it," Misha replies aiming another shot, "Tyroc, lets do this."
 

"I guess being hit by a car hard enough to break all of my ribs and have them puncture my lungs gives me a different perspective." Rachel says, spitting blood. "That or the concusion." she says cheerily, though from spending the Aerodyne flight with her, you can all pretty well tell she is probably never cheerful in this form. She does shrug and step back from the giant. "If he gets up, we are not going to stop him again. I'll put a $100 on him breaking out and killing more people within a year." she says in a flat, almost angry voice.

Misha replies back staying focused, "We cross that Rubicon when we get to it..." but the voice is laced with as much command as it is just an offhand comment.
 

"I don't think you are allowed to call him helpless. I don't think you get to call murderers helpless. The people this guy burried under buildings, those are the people you are allowed to call helpless. This guy is gonna get 3 meals a day, and have millions spent on just holding him, that doesn't count the damage he did to this city, all the blood on his hands." she walks away from the big ugly and heads toward the rubble, throwing this over her shoulder. "You do not want me near him. If I have to get near him because he is starting to get up, he dies even if I have to rip his head off to make sure."

"Now, unless there is a problem with it, I am going to start looking for any survivors in all of this. Maybe we can save some of this guy's victims." the girl says before shifting to her full wolf form. She takes in all the scents and starts investigating for anyone still alive while staying within 240 feet (sprint distance) of the others.
 

The elite appearing to be out of commision, Aaron is shocked and sickened at Lupa wanting to tear out his throat. If only to get away from the scene, Aaron tries to follow any recently displaced air molecules to track down any survivors. He will be looking for invisible folks too, just in case.

Powers: Still in flame form, flight, tracking, see invisible

Jennifer's icy form flies into her fallen business suit, lifting it up into the air before she reassembles herself. She quickly walks over to the monster's fallen body, standing behind and to the side of Misha.

You made the right call. She shouldn't have to become a killer just yet.

Let's get this punk under some kind of chemical restraint as quickly as possible.
 

Jennifer, once again dressed, joins the others as Rachel, Aaron and Angela head off in search of survivors. Miguel peers into the unconscious eilte's mind, attempting to assist Sarah in keeping him mentally sedated. However, the two of them sense something is amiss...

Suddenly, the huge elite begins to twitch. The metal bindings begin to snap as the huge elite begins to quickly grow even bigger. His limbs elongate, his torso gains girth, and the wounds that brought him down disappear. Both Sarah and Miguel are shunted forcefully from his mind as the transformation occurs.

Afraid this might happen, Kiro slashes down at the elite with his katana before the thing can threaten anyone, nailing it square in the chest. The powerful blow and razor sharp weapon don't even scratch the thing's thickened skin.

Attack roll: 20 hits
Damage save: ineffective attack


"Why will this thing not stay DOWN?!" Silvertip yells angrily. He brings both fists over his head and slams them down into the eilte with enough force to make the ground shake. The eilte, not at all hurt by the devastating attack, rises to its feet, to a full height of nearly 2 stories. It raises its huge, ape-like arms in the air with a deafening roar (that everyone can hear).

Initiative: Misha 25 (HP), Neutron 22 (HP), Blizzard 21, Mimic 16, Lupa 15 (HP), Elementor 15 (2HP), Cumulus 14 (2HP), Sarah 11 (HP), Shimmering Samurai 9 (HP, Boost +1), Silvertip 9 (1S, 4L, 5HP, fatigued), Big Ugly 9 (7VP), Tyroc 4 (HP)

Yep, its not over yet...Tyroc and Misha are up. Cal, I figure you still want to use Slow, but I'll let you confirm that now that circumstances have changed.

"This is bad..." Misha quips loud enough for Jennifer to hear.

Misha quips to Silvertip, "We may need to evacute as much of this sector as we can... things may get messy..."
 

"Ok, so much for a minute or so. Anyone doubting that damaging attacks are making this guy stronger now? He's absorbing his injuries and using them to fuel his powers," he says as he focuses his power again, trying to leech speed from the man so he doesn't suddenly leap off to yet another part of the city. Following that blast, he rises up another fifty feet, well above the man.

Powers: Flight, force field (sustained); Slow +10 (HP to counter fatigue)
