It is completely dark, but it is clear that the hallway slopes down until it reaches some stairs. Optic notices numerous small holes in the ceiling up ahead, which he says are connected to pipes in the concrete. It does not appear that the pipes are carrying anything. Again, there are a couple of cameras, but Optic's radio sense detects the existence of some other sensors sweeping the facility.
"Well, let's get going," Hope says, motioning for the others to grab hold of her. Surprisingly, she carries them easily to the bottom of the hole with no hint of strain, although it was a bit comical having three people cling to her like that.
"Between the two of us, once we find out where they're blocking you, we can probably crack it." Hope offers, looking better, though still tired.
"I'm sorry for acting like I did back there. Fire and ground spells or even manipulating those elements.... Well it's a bit like being highly intoxicated, without the pleasure of drinking the booze," she smiles a trifle. "Luckily it never lasts long, but compounded with the banishing spell. Well. I was an ass." she said forthrightly. "It's one of the reasons why I try to avoid casting those kinds of spells. I didn't have a choice," she added quietly.

(I realized I made a mistake. Hope would be exhausted if she healed Viridian. So either she is, or (a much better idea), she did not heal her. Kirinke, tiring healing is an after-combat ability or something to use if someone would otherwise be taken out of the fight. It is not wise to use it on regular hits)

You all receive and encrypted message from Jacobson through your comms (routed through the phones).
"We have a situation in the city. The Foundry office was hit. We're intercepting traffic on Swiss military channels. They've found two bodies burned beyond recognition and a couple of large broken, robots. Nuclear hazmat teams have quarantined the site. This looks a lot like that attack in Israel, but in other news, we're hearing that Hiroshima Shadow was captured at the scene, and is being held in some kind of containment device that absorbs his radiation and uses it to power a forcefield. It makes sense he was responsible for that attack -- Hamas has never had nuclear capability -- but that doesn't explain this one, nor why Barrington paid Hamas for that attack, not Shadow. "

You try to listen because there's no damn light, and then someone can't shut up and then there's lots of radio chatter. If you say you had no choice, then you don't sound very sorry. Hamas? Hiroshima Shadow? I don't understand, what could they get at the front office? Are the secretary/assistant lady and rich guy I met dead? If Hamas was supposed to be involved in the attack, but only Hiroshima was there, does that mean that they have people coming here too?
"I don't get it," Megan whispers. "And how do you think the drones will 'see'? Thermal?"
Well, just waiting here at the bottom of the hole just gives them more time to decide how to fight us. Plus I should stay busy. Hopefully, Nightweaver will back me up "Scouting." She slowly floats down the hallway, trying hard to avoid bumping things and ready to fly away from any trouble.
-----------------------------
Stealth: +9. I think her speed is at 1/8th normal, 125 ft/move. (1/2 for fatigue, 1/2 for using Stealth, and 1/2 again for darkness). But that's okay, getting too far ahead is a bad idea anyway.
Uncanny dodge: hearing
(Def: 22/14. Toughness +9. Injured. Fatigued (-1 att, -2 STR, DEX, 1/2 spd). HP 3)
-------------------------------------------------------
Those pipes worry me.

(In case I was being unclear. One of the terrorist groups that Barrington paid off for the decoy attacks was Hamas, and there were a bunch of people found irradiated in Israel. However, it appears that it was Hiroshima Shadow that did that, as he was caught there. Now the Foundry folks just got killed in the same way, though HS is in prison. The fact that HS may have been the original culprit though begs the question of why Barrington paid the money for the attack to Hamas rather than Shadow.)
Hope considered this, as she listened in. "Can you interface with Scylla? Explain to her what's going on, everything we know about Barrington as a guesture of goodwill. That may help us get what we're after. From what we know, the foundry isn't likely to help genocidal madmen out to destroy the world. And I'm afraid, that's exactly what Barrington may do if he doesn't get what he wants." she asked Optic.
She considered the pipes, wondering what they could do or not. Murder holes... she thought.
Her eyes glow once more ice creeps up and over the ceiling, completly covering the holes, invading them, ruining them with icy shards that bend and warp the metal, stone and concrete. "Scylla, we are not enemies here, you know what Barrington did to your people. He is proving me right. Help us stop him and we will go away without further strife to your organization. If the world nations do not give into him, he will use whatever you built for him and whatever other nasty tricks he may have up his sleave to destroy the world out of sheer pique. That means you'll go down with the rest of us," she paused. "No meglomaniac likes a rival," she shouts. "I am the Hellborn Saint Scylla, you know I have not lied in anything I have told you! Why do you still keep this information from us, when it will only benefit you and those you speak for in the end?!"
Her voice whispers to the others. "I took care of the holes, whatever they were. Either lazers or gas pipes maybe? It doesn't matter." she looked around them, gauging the corrider. "Tread carefully here, this is a mouse maze and we are the mice"
