Superheroes of the Trust Game Thread III

[Fangor the Fierce]

Wren notes the panic, as well as Star taking off with Apollo. Splitting up so unevenly was not always a good thing, in his mind. Apparently, Star didn't understand the meaning of teamwork very well. Or perhaps she was looking for a quick death, like Viridian. He wonders who would be the next to die in the group, as there was no cohesiveness in this group. Perhaps there never would be...

"Star, keep in communication. That goes for you too Apollo. If you see or need something, ask."

Turning back to the scene at hand, Wren hears the question, and answers, "Done..."

Near the area where there are less people, Wren has now created an opaque cylinder, hovering in the air at least 30 feet from the ground. The size of it should be enough to contain the spores, and anything else that would need to be contained. (Create Objects Rank 9, Progression for 10' cube max per rank, equals 90 cubic feet of a container)

Turning his attention to the people, Wren wonders how best to control the situation.

(Somehow, I don't see things happening in that order, since Star was planning on after the blimp before she even arrived, whilst it would presumeably take Optic time to zero in on the spores and then warn everyone.)

(His vision powers don't actually take time. They are always-on senses. it would take him time to learn details about the spores other than the fact that they are spores.)

"Star, keep in communication. That goes for you too Apollo. If you see or need something, ask."

"I hear you. Spores are heavier than air, right?" Star comms back to the group. Wow, the blimp is behaving erraticly at the same time spores are being spread into the stadium causing a riot. Maybe the blimp is spreading the spores and we should take care of it before it starts more trouble in other places? At least that's what a reckless and stupid person thinks. And our standard equipment doesn't come with gas masks anyway.

(All out Move: 40 000 feet. Def 27.)

(I'm going to wait for the rest before resolving.)

"Light enough to float in a strong breeze." Hope replies, eyes glowing as she manipulates the spore laden air into the the container Wren created. "Be careful. Don't breath the stuff in."

ooc:
I think gas masks are a part of the standard equipment. At least when they give us more gear than we already have on our persons anyway.

(Looking among your equipment, they thoughtfully included gas masks. Riots tend to result in tear gas.)

What in the blazes

Nitro doesn't need a bullhorn to shout really, really loudly.

"STOP THE INSANITY! DOES THIS LOOK LIKE A SOCCER MATCH?

"IF YOU DON'T CUT THIS OUT, I'M GOING TO KICK EVERY ONE OF YOUR BUTTS... AT THE SAME TIME"

He grabs the large sign of the ‘American Insurance Group’ from the entrance to the stadium and crushes it in one motion.

“AND YOUR HEALTH INSURANCE WON’T BE AROUND TO PAY FOR ALL THE ICE YOU’RE GOING TO NEED EITHER”

(OOC: Mass intimidate on the crowd)

(Time for a flip flop...more information is always good)

The blimp is over the river, about half a mile from the stadium, and a half a mile or so from the boardwalk.

Star rushes to the blimp, and looks in a window. There are a number of gadgets in there, quite out of place. The first is a portable gravity drive, which explains why the blimp is going much faster than she would expect...although it seems odd that the workings of the blimp itself seem to be off. The gravity drive seems to be doing all the work keeping it in the air and moving it. She also sees a few machines connected to tanks of some sort, which lead to hoses into the exhaust systems. There are three Middle Eastern men in the blimp with automatic weapons and suicide vests. There are no recognizable supers in the group.

Apollo goes with Star (and both have a standard action to spend this round)

Guided by Optic, Hope summons a swirling wind, forming a large but very mild tornado-like structure. Spores are meant to ride the wind, so they are very easy to clear form the air with a strong enough wind, without the wind itself being otherwise dangerous. She sucks them up and guides them into the container that Wren forms using his powers, shaped specifically to be fed from the tornado. The combination of their powers does not immediately decontaminate the area, but even just the first several seconds clears most of it (and a whole lot of dust).

Nitro performs his feat of strength and taunts the crowd in a voice so loud they can all hear him. Many stop fighting...but others instead see his assertion of dominance as a big fat target for their chemically-induced bigotry. In doing so, Nitro accidently organizes the crowd. Many non-whites are simultaneously attracted to attacking him, causing the crowd to separate into groups a bit more and become more binary as people unite to try to charge towards Nitro. This separation causes some de facto counter organization as infected whites strike against the now-united group headed towards Nitro. He gets hit by a bunch of bottles and such, but is not hurt...then again, the crowd has not reached him yet, and but many crazed sports fans have broken free and are headed towards him. What was a sports brawl has sorted itself out into a race riot.

Skylark manages to hold down some of the crowd, especially those breaking free and headed towards Nitro.

 

[Victim]

(No civilians? Are the tanks attached to the sides or just sitting on the floor? How high are we, in terms of rounds of free fall?)

Star ducks away from the window and tries to find a blind spot underneath and near the front of the blimp. (Stealth +5 after moving)

"3 men with machine guns and bomb vests. There are a bunch of gadgets including gravity drives in the blimb, and it looks like it's spraying something," Star says quietly into the commlink. Okay, they don't seem to be supers... Good, because 3 supers would be hard to handle. But how can I take them out without touching them with my power - and without them blowing up? ... She asks any explosives experts, "Could I cut off the explosive vest from someone without blowing it up?"
