Superheroes of the Trust Game Thread II

Thessaly takes a deep breath and gives Nightweaver a little nod.

"You're sort of right...my illusions are glamours, they're mental constructs. Manipulations of perception, not light and sound. But there's people on the base too, not just machines. And I can make a pretty big illusion if I try. I don't need to hear their response. I just need to tell them who we are and what we want. From there, it's up to them how to respond."

"But at least we can make the effort to try to get the message across before we arrive."

She nods at Optic.

"If you can do that, do it. I'll do the illusion too, just to make sure. Mr. Black, is there a telescope or something I can look through? Or just a pair of binoculars and I can go up front to the cockpit?"

(Black isn't here, just your support team of Jacobson, D'Antoni, Carter, Harriman, and Reyes.)

D'Antoni says you can come to the cockpit and use his binoculars, but you guys will have to get much closer.

"Less talk more action... or I am going back in by myself and tearing that whole place down," Apollo seethes.

 

[Fangor the Fierce]

Turning to Apollo's outburst, Wren states coldly, "You aren't going anywhere alone, not while you are part of this group. You and Star both knew you went in together as a team. Remember? We move as a team, and make decisions as a team. One of those decisions, we all made, was never to go at it alone. You would get shot down just as easily as she did, and all for what? Making us go in for two instead of one? What's the advantage in that? We have our plan, we're using it..."

With that, Wren turns to Optic, the pilot, and Viridian. "Let's get this underway. Star's in trouble, and there's been enough talk, as Apollo bluntly put it.'

As the plane nears the compound, Wren turns to Apollo and motions for him to head out with him, to flank the plane while flying. Wren will tether himself to the plane if need be, as they move in closer to accomodate Viridian's and Optic's plan. He will of course be on lookout to use his barriers to put up defenses if need be. [color]"Apollo, keep your eyes peeled and let me know if I miss anything coming in. Hope, if there's anything I miss that Apollo sees, see if you can help out with some ice barriers or anything to slow down incoming threats. I'll do what I can as well.[/color]

Energy crackles around her as she summons up her own personal power, holding it at bay, ready to defend or attack as the case may be. "I can do more than that now, Wren. Ice and Air, as well as Water." she smiled, but it was without humour. "Ice has it's limitations, I wanted to be a bit more flexible than that," her expression was grim.

"I will follow your lead," she added.

 

[Vanifae]

Apollo stays silent, ready for action.

 

[Elric]

"I'm down for anything besides coming up with a plan myself" Nitro chimes in.

 

[Shayuri]

Thessaly hesitates, then grabs a pair of binoculars.

"I'll be up front," she says, and vanishes through the little door leading to the cockpit.

 

[DM_Matt]

"From her power," Star explains. "I don't think I should say anymore."

"What now?" I've already been shot and chained up and drugged and manipulated and humiliated - maybe I should just go for the slim chance...

"Alright then. I guess thats good enough for now. I suppose then there is not a true security breech. Look, I'm sorry things went this way. We're on the same side, I get it. But from our perspective, two supersonic objects passed over our secret base and tried to drop something on it, so of course we attacked and of course we needed to find out what happened. I'll send you to the regeneration chambers immediately."

She gives Star another injection, which calms her by counteracting the stimulant portion of the first shot. A pair of lackies picks up the stretcher thats apparently embedded into the bed, and starts carrying Star over to a white tube, with a door on one end thats currently open.

Meanwhile, as the plane crosses over Gaza, flying at a high altitude and extremely fast with the scramjets active, Jacobson says "I'm detecting alien technology...it appears that Barrington has small bases around each of the two towers here. It seems that they are trying to shoot at us, but they cant hit us so high and fast."

D'Antoni adds "We should be out of their range soon enough anyway." (Alarm sounds) "What the?!?!"

The plane rocks as its hit by something. The instruments spark.

Jacobson says "Dammit. Two stealthy grav-based ships are behind us. And we are stuck at this speed and not to maneuverable at the moment. We still have about 30 seconds before we can bring the gravity drives back online, as they are drained from boosting into scramjet mode."

 

[Victim]

"Iss not the shooting me tat I .... uh," Star slurs, carried along.
