Superheroes of the Trust Game Thread II

[DM_Matt]

"I'm sorry about your partner. But I'm not a spiritual person. I don't place any metaphysical importance on super powers, or extradimensional places and life forms."

"Don't you think that there are dangerous conflicts of interest in the way that you act?"

She rolls her eyes at Hope's suggestion. "Yes, the obvious choice for my partner is someone who is too slow to keep up with me." Maybe stupid mismatching is why your partner ended up captured. It's not that dang complicated; just watch what people are doing. If someone is vulnerable, hammer them. If no one seems to be in trouble, then set up someone else like Nitro so he can hammer them. And now I'm some sort of moral authority... Our teamwork is going to be an even bigger screw up than our fighting.

She'll check her computer to see what permissions the group has for using the matter assembler.

Only the tech department can directly access the matter assembler, though there are terminals that can order up preset items. The cafeteria, for instance, is purely assembler-based, and you can order up just about any regular equipment from your wing of the base. Custom items require permission from Blue (head of tech), either Black, White, or Grey (high ranks), and certain large or resource-intensive items also need Ms. Green (accounting) to sign off, but in the rare case that it is such an item, one of the others will tell you. If you want to use it to experiment in some way, you just need to get the general project approved. The process is relatively easy and doesn't require much formalized paperwork.

"Another way of looking at it is that you picked exactly the right time," Viridian points out.

"Any later, and we might not have been in time to do -anything- about all this."

"I know, its just -- My initial training was just as tough as this, but I knew that when I joined up and I especially knew than when I applied for the Rangers. We just pulled you into this without you necessarily being prepared for so long and harsh a training period."

She considered something. Barrington was likely to be using some sort of dark magicks, much in the same way as Faust. They needed a weapon that could counter that, something small, unobtrusive, the magical version of a grenade maybe?

"I've been thinking. Barrington is a dark sorcerer, someone who uses negative and evil powers right? His allies are much the same. We need a weapon that can counter that. Preferably something small, that he and they will overlook or discount. I was thinking of something along the lines of a magical grenade, maybe filled with positive energies." she said leaning back. "We really weren't prepared for that axe thing Ares had. And we can safely assume that Barrington and his allies are likely to use similar weapons."

 

[Shayuri]

Viridian regards Mr. Black, but isn't sure what to say to that. She looks over at Hope and raises an eyebrow at her comment.

"You mean, like, a Holy Handgrenade?" she asks innocently. "Should we throw on three or five?"

"Five is right out," Doc Reyes pipes in.

Apollo shrugs and takes a seat, "Wake me up when something cool happens."

 

[Fangor the Fierce]

Apollo shrugs and takes a seat, "Wake me up when something cool happens."

"Hey Hope, you can do your ice trick now... that should be cold enough for him..."

Wren can only shrug, remembering how cold he felt when Hope jested on freezing a certain anatomical region that shouldn't be frozen. Hopefully a little downtime would be good for all of them. When the two women talk about being paired up, he just hopes they both return.

"Considering what we've seen so far, both Barrington and Ares seem to mostly use advanced or alien technology. That axe thing seemed like a nanotech device - some sort of memory metal might be able to do the shapechanging, but not the healing - not some 'dark power.' Mars and sons were running around in power suits too. Similarly, the non-disposeable allies Barrington had seemed were what, Otaku and Control Freak? When I saw them, both he and Control Freak were wearing more powersuits, seemingly of 2 different designs." What's the difference between 'dark powers' and just using power darkly? And considering how supers can do with nothing, why would any sort of device be overlooked?

(She was mostly looking at ordering something to wear tonight.)

"I think Star's right," Viridian says. "I didn't feel any magic, and I'm usually pretty sensitive to that kind of thing. We know Barrington has experience with magic, but he doesn't use it exclusively, like Faust. In fact, we haven't seen everything yet, but it looks to me like he's almost avoiding using much magic in this whole...plot, or whatever. Instead he's getting this really state of the art technology. Even the Eye of Hell isn't a magical artifact."

"I wonder if there's a reason for that, or if it's just a preference on his part."

The order machine has a clothing module.
