Von Krup leads you down the elevator, and into the parting lot, where a black stretch limo awaits. Optic can tell that Mr. Gross is another android, probably of the same model as the two guards in the penthouse. Von Krup sits in the front, and you guys get your own area behind the partition, but Optic is able to detect that the compartment is of course being monitored. It is about an hours' drive to the country, and the limo moves off onto a private road in the mountains. Gross and Von Krup show their identification to some guys at a guard post. One human leading three androids, probably weaker models than Mr. Gross and the rest. They all carry assault rifles and wear security uniforms. They open the gate, and the limo travels through some woods, curving up a mountain until it reaches a large cleared area at the top. After traveling through a similar checkpoint, they drive to a mansion in the middle of the cleared area. There are also a few outbuildings, and two helicopter pads, one of which is occupied. There is a cliff all around. The road is the only way in on the ground.
Viridian concentrates on keeping the worry off her face as she looks out at the landscape and sights. There were so many things that could go wrong with this...and she wasn't in a position to do much but wait, and hope it worked.
Her job would start if it DIDN'T work...
She couldn't remember the last time she'd hoped she wouldn't use her powers.

Shooting Star rolls down the window (unless it's not under passenger control). Wow, a limo ride. This is really nice.... But I could be there by now flying. I should put some music in my phone, to help with waiting. But what should I do now? Everyone else seems to be coming up with new power tricks. I've had powers most of my life - some of us seem to have developed them only recently - and I can only manage 2 controled uses of plasma. Plus just pointing the blast away from me. Pretty pathetic. But new uses are unstable. Dangerous. Bad. Well, I could just recycle the stable elements - mostly shape. Hmm. For most of the ride, she'll take down some rough notes and diagrams into her new toy - unless someone strikes up a conversation in the bugged environment.
Cool. It's basically a mountaintop castle. The shear cliff faces should make it easier to fly around.

Optic's X-Ray vision and tech knowledge keep picking up useful information. One outbuilding contains some sort of supercomputer, control terminal, and backup generator, and has a rotating tower on top he recognizes as a sensor array of some sort. It seems the sensor array is separate from communications, which seems to include a row of three satellite dishes and a building like the sensor building with a few antennas and its own computer systems and backup power. Another outbuilding facing the road conceals a row of railguns. There is a similar building near the cliff edge, which additionally has some computerized firing controls and backup power. Instead of the side walls opening up, it looks like the roof and top half of the walls do. It seems to be an air defense system of some sort. He can't see far enough into the ground to penetrate the shielded, armored, base, but it is clear that it fills much of the mountain.
You are led into the house, and greeted by a butler. It is full of fancy furnature and paintings. He takes you inside, where the entryway faces a stairway that rises and splits into two different directions. There are two sets of double doors on the ground floor, one per side, as well as two more doors on each side of the split staircase leading underneath it.
The butler and Mr. Von Krup lead you to through one of the sets of double doors, where there is a sitting room of some sort. A giant painting on the wall turns into a computer screen. There are two men and a woman in lab coats standing around, as well as a fancy-looking man in a suit with long, slicked-back, blond hair and very sharp features. The man introduces himself, saying "I am Gunnar Jonasson, the leader of this facility. You have these engineers at your disposal to finalize your specifications."

" Hello. I think we had some issues with the details of the cloaking device - mostly degradation at speed - and then the matter of setting up the control systems to properly interface with our own equipment and software." She looks around to her teammates, hoping someone more comfortable here could help her out. Umm, are we doing it now? How are we supposed to communicate anything to each other? Are they doing it now? How would that go down? Start with gas and then some weapons deploy when we start reacting? Bad news unless Optic can see it right away - he mentioned being able to look at DNA. In any case, I can't keep up on the technical side for long. Either we need to just agree quickly after getting more detailed information, or it'll have to be done here.
(Bluff +0 (+4), Sense Motive +0, Computers +17, Knowledge: technology +5,
Knowledge: Physical sciences +2 seem like the pertinent skills for this discussion)

Hope has some knowledge of most knowledges (+5), so she'll aid as much as possible. Sorry, I'm not real good with the super technology side of roleplaying.
Hope nods. "Fast and slow are very general terms here, especially since we are paying you quite a bit of money. So, exactly how fast can you make it go while cloaked? And how much faster can you tweak it within the limits we've set?"

"Also," Thessaly says absently, as if something had just occurred to her. "We were curious about what it would take, in terms of design, money and time, to have some kind of a weapon on it. Something that could pinpoint targets on the ground. Directed energy maybe."
She waves a hand. "Lets deal with the cloak first though. We're definitely doing that."
