Superheroes of the Trust Game Thread

"I may need help breaking through their security, it's gonna be tight. Anything you've got that could help would be great." Optic tells Megan before they leave. Hopefully thinking of it will help keep her distracted, he knows what it's like to be scared of something that others treat so normally.

In Zurich, Optic gets & studies some maps of the area around the Foundry, and the route they'll take to get there, so he's got a few escape points ready, and then checks on Megan's progress, seeing if she needs any help. (Computers+16).

Do you mean the office in the city, or the big one under the mansion outside the city?

"Are clothes going to provided? I couldn't fit another outfit into my pouches with the extra gear you provided?" Shooting Star asks.

On the flight, she'll write programs to help Optic's efforts. (Take 10 to hit the 20 DC, write programs to assist Optic's Find File and Defeat Security computer checks against the Foundry). "Yeah, hacking the Foundry... You know, I don't ordinarily hack things," she admits. "Anyway, I have a few ideas. I'm working on a subtle little attack routine - it ought to look like a scan. The hit to their system isn't that much, but anything serious probably won't get through. It's the Foundry - they're going to have an AI defense, who knows what else. Even getting a little thing through will be tough - probably the best thing going for it is that it'll be a low priority defense, like taking a punch since you're more worried about dodging the death ray." Or maybe a blast of fire. "It should provide an edge, but I'm not even an ordinary genius. Going head to head with the products of super genius inventors isn't really my thing." She seems glad to have a few distractions. "My other idea is just a search tool - I combined some of the Trust's programs with variations on the pathfinding tricks I use. It ought to be able to help find the files relating to Barrington regardless of what kind of crazy architecture and file types they use."

(technobabble off )

After finishing her programs (should take 2 hours), Megan continues poking at her computer, eventually sighing and printing off a document. "I need some people who don't mind using their real names to sign this for me."

"Why do you need real names?"

 

[Victim]

"Why do you need real names?"

Megan clears her throat. "It seemed like a good time to update my will, so I need witnesses." I'm only 2 for 2 on nearly dying in our fights.

 

[Jemal]

Optic sighed as he sat beside Megan. "You're NOT going to die, understand? Now, we do go into some pretty heavy situations, but trust me when I say there's ALWAYS a way out. Speaking of which, I've been working on that. I've got a few escape routes planned, though I don't yet have access to Foundry Blueprints, so I don't know their inner layout."

He looked down at her will and then back up at her "and it's Jack Carson"

*OOC to DM: Both would be nice, but what's needed would be whichever one we're heading to first*

"John Hennigan. But really, I'm not so good at signing anything besides 'Johnny Nitro' at this point. What does a capital H look like again?"

"Well, it's not exactly plan A," she replies. "But just ignoring the risks we're running seems stupid. I've come closer to death more often since midnight than I have in the whole rest of the month of solo stuff and that's not exactly safe itself." Of course things have always worked out so the handsome, millionare genius has his ways out. No, sometimes your best effort isn't enough and you'll break before the situation bends. That's why not everyone gets to successful. Besides, some things are worse than death, so death would be the way out. "Besides, you may have missed the word UPDATE - this isn't something new. I'm just changing my statements and a few minor details. Just sign the damn thing and don't worry about it."

"I'm Megan." Those looking at her document will see her last name too. "That should be all the signatures I need, so you don't need to say anything you don't want to. And you shouldn't feel obligated either."

I assume that Hope hasn't wandered off to bed quite yet.
"Well, you know my name," she joked a little, trying to lighten the mood some. "Some of my counterparts in the agency were once soldiers. They always said that the worst part of war was the waiting before the fight because that's when your mind is free to go over and over the 'what if' scenarios and such." she said quietly. "Once your in the heat of the fight, you don't have the time to think." she shook herself a little.

"Hopefully they won't realize that they're being hacked and we can do this quietly. But if not, we are prepared for that." she smiled a little, knowing the odds of survival as well as the others.

"Thessally," Viridian says, feeling some pressure to join in. The costume now feeling awkward, she lets it fade, revealing her frumpier college girl self. "And don't worry...we'll look out for each other. You'll be okay."

She yawns. "I'd better get cracking on some of these new spells though..."

(Coming soon in the OOC thread!)

Well, you are accross the stret form the building with the first. The second is out in the eountry. Your ultimate goal is probably to gain access to the second place.
