That's Nereid of the Next-Gen, descended  from the original Siren and from Atlantean royalty.  She's not as strong for either Megalodon or Devil Ray on her own, but she'll be a help.Nereid shouts "She needs healing FAST.  I'll all the backup you're going to get, by the way.  The rest of my team is on another eruption of violence elsewhere in the city!.  There are spore attacks in at least two other areas, plus the strike on the League.  Oh, and Duncan Summers says to call him NOW."The shark tries to get out of Nitro's hold, but can't make any progress (loses the roll by more than 20).Optics blasts mow down skinheads on the boardwalk and stun affected bystanders (taking 10 on minions I assume).  He also hits a number of skinheads in the hotels, shooting holes in walls and hitting targets he can see with his x-ray vision on the other side.  The boardwalk is basically clear.[sblock] He is staggered, btw, so he cant do exactly what you are going for (cant do full round action), but I'll let you do an AP of the blast AND visor enhancement combined (or rather, let you apply the tiring to both parts), so you have 32 points.  Tiring STA Blast 10 is 20pts, Accurate 5 is 5pts, Progression 6 is 6 points, Precise is 1 pt. In this case, you are taking the tiring drawback AND taking extra effort so you will be Exhausted (rather than just Fatigued) AND Staggered.  On the other hand, its a really, really, cool move, and the fact that you are taking an exhausted for it is actually fair since I'm letting you really abuse progression. [/sblock]The bad guys in the Paradise Hotel, despite the fire, decide to fortify.  Clearly, something different happens with the spores than has been.  The remaining defenders quite suddenly succumb, and everyone's rage suddenly calms.  The armed ones move in a rapidly and orderly fashion to strategic positions guarding the entrances and organizing behind windows.  The unarmed position themselves as human shields in front of combatants, and make a human chain across the entryway.  Optic can see through to the back of the hotel.  Orion is standing there holding a little girl in one arm, holding a combat knife to her throat.  She looks terrified.  In his other hand, he's pointing an MP7 forward, with its extended butt plate bracing against his shoulder.</blockquote>
