Murder Mouse shoots back, rapidly propelling metal slugs at the two fast flyers.  Those that come close explode, sending force and shrapnel at the heroes.  It seems that the slugs are being magnetically propelled (though his portable weapon is vastly weaker than a traditional high-speed railgun), and lack detonators.  It seems that MM is using a power to make them explode when he wants.  Star's armor is badly cracked (disabled), and Apollo is hurt by shrapnel (1 more injury/bruise).Nitro tries to bash LL, but she is surprisingly resilient (hp, she rerolled).  He continues past her in the air, and she whirls and hits him, batting him into the sand (another bruise, hp spent on Ult Toughness)Viridian finds herself in a circular control room with no windows.  Next to her is a man in his mid-thirties, you recognize his voice as the telepath, and his appearance combines with his voice to give her the idea that he's probably Russian.  He wears a helmet tied into the controls.  He says "I figure I might as well borrow you mind, since your body isn't using it.  I am Warmind, the commander of Ghost Squad.  Technically, this is a dream, but its an accurate depiction of reality here and now.  We won't be able to stick around, no matter how this battle goes, but we will be out there, fighting Barrington.  If you want to remain in contact with us, go to safety deposit box #15498253 at the third branch of the Grand Caymans Investment Bank, and type the pass code 753962057319.  Inside you will find a communication device."Meanwhile, she can see the monitors and hear his orders.  The several vehicles that made it to the base are quickly taking the surface.  The prison is taken before all the prisoners can be taken below to the teleportal.  One battlesuit is trapped inside, having told two others two run away just in time.  He radios.  "I'm sanitizing this building.  Its been a pleasure serving the cause, sir.  Seal the blast doors."  He puts two keys into keyholes in the wall, and pulls a switch above one of them, and puts one hand on a second next to it.  Poison gas fills the room and the sealed cells.  A tank blows the front door down.  He raises his gun and blasts a shell at the tank, slightly damaging it.  A mech fires a volley of rail shots into the battlesuit, who manages to pull the other lever.  The prison facility explodes in white-hot light, destroying much of the above-ground portion of the base and some of the attacking vehicles.  Warmind looks sad.(Yes, I realize this group isn't following the comics code.  The contrasting styles are intentional.)</blockquote>
