Message: <blockquote data-quote="DM_Matt" data-source="post: 4562566" data-attributes="member: 1213">Meanwhile, at Freedom League HQ (Cut scene of what Errant was doing in the meantime) ...Errant feels a little bad that he couldn't help Daedalus and Dr. Met.  He stood outside the vault, hiding among Barrington's men with his morphing abilities, while Ares and the rest quickly defeated the heroes inside.  Errant watches the supervillains open the vault and carry the heroes away.  Errant takes the opportunity to become invisible, and slips into the vault.  As suspected, he finds what he was sent for -- the reason Daedalus chose this location to hide-- the self-destruct control, a small computer terminal in the wall activated by turning a light fixutre in the right combination -- but Daedalus did not have time to activate it, as the chamber was breached so suddenly.  His mission was to activate it.  It might be the only thing destructive enough to slow down Ares.  A ring of buried gamma ray emitters surrounds the base.  When the self-destruct is activated, not only are these emitters turned on, but a small point singularity weapon detonates within the base.  The short-term black hole will turn much of  the base into flying fragments of building materials, creating a bubble of shrapnel and radioactive energy while avoiding collateral damage too far out.When he gets the signal that the good guys are clear, he sets a very short timer and scrambles to the surface.  He gets out the front door, with several seconds to spare, and lets down his cloak.  He starts moving forward again, when he hears the click of a gun.  Through the dust, he seen a man in a flight suit, calls to him in a Middle Eastern accent, shouting  "STOP!"  and waving an MP-7.  He hears a few of Barrington's men exiting the building behind him.</blockquote>
