Superheroes of the Trust Game Thread

(Assuming a round has gone by so Nitro has recovered from the stun)

"I'm fine." Nitro announces. "I hope no one worried, what with me being shot several times, including in the head. And nearly impaled by a flaming poker. And thrown across a factory by a teleporting robotic knight. And shot by a paralyzing dart. And nearly crushed by a crane. Give me half a minute and I'll be good as new. Well, aside from this poker-shaped brand on my head. Reminds me of my fraternity days, but at least then it was just sharpie."

What's he trying to get at with that remark? Is he just boasting about how invulnerable he is? Does he think we should be more worried about him? Is he trying to say to stop being a wimp? Quit confusing me; my head hurts enough right now. "I'm surprised you even noticed," Megan replies. "It's like nothing really hurts you, phases you, bothers you. You say you'll be fine in a minute or so and you don't even seem hurt too badly now. But the rest of us have limits." Star says, refering to the fact that she's a bloody mess.

That sounds kind of mean; I only don't like her. "I'm sorry, that's not sounding right. You just seem indestructable, so it's hard to worry when you get hit. You just hop back into the fight in a few seconds later anyway and then beat everyone up, it seems like."

"Yeah, sorry, not trying to make anyone feel bad. I tend to go over my fights to see if this one was more awesome than the last. It's a habit from my days on the circuit. You couldn't be complacent if you wanted to get to the top. But instant replay takes effort, so I should save it for later. I don't have that much mental energy, so I kind of have to guard it with my life"
 

Jack groaned as he held his Injuries, limping over to the others. His minor bruises weren't bothering him anymore, but he was still pretty badly beaten. "Speaking of NOT being indestructible, At least we're all still here. Shouldn't... Shouldn't we be clearing out?" Optic seemed slightly woozie from the blood loss. "Meltdown... Scylla... Purple frogs..." He went down with a heavy thud, shaking his head. "Ow... Ok, that was bad. Haven't seen purple frogs since College, but I think I'm ok now." He tried standing again, looking around to make sure everyone was there.
 

(Lots of work, Internet intermittent, very interested in continuing)

(OOC: Calling Raylis. The other PCs proposed a plan involving Nightweaver. Are you going to use an HP to move exhausted-->fatigued and Wren will use one through leadership to get you fatigued-->normal, and try to cut off a little bit of the mystery supers' hair (she can take a scissors from one of the medkits on the plane, or use the knife that came in her standard Trust EQ)

(Time to introduce the soldiers)

Meanwhile, as Wren reaches Reyes, the three Suburbans that still work, start driving towards you, with a number of armed Foundry personnel approaching running behind. It seems they want your plane. One Suburban drives towards the wrecked communications facility where Carter, the teams' engineer, is taking cover. A bomb planted on the road explodes under the Suburban, disabling it. The driver, clearly a robot of some sort, jumps out, as do a few others, and you see blasts of plasma from somewhere in the rubble strike down one of the men and the robot. Jacobson follows up with a mortar near the truck, and you see Carter running back towards the plane, with a few Foundry folks shooting at him from afar.

Another Suburban drives towards the house, with the robot driver blasting a plasma bolt at the roof of the house, and just missing Harriman, the sniper, who blasts a depleted uranium slug from his Gauss Rifle through the "bulletproof" glass of the Suburban and through the security robot driver. The driver is too heavy for the humans to get his foot off the pedal, and the car slams into the house at a high speed. Harriman leaves that post and climbs down off the roof.

The last one goes for Reyes and Wren, and the robot driver blasts a continuous energy beam through the house and the wall, nearly hitting Reyes, who just barely manages to jump out of the way, and wounding Wren (1 injury and bruise). The truck keeps coming, with Foundry personnel firing shotguns and rifles out of the slightly-open windows. Wren is hit again (1 injury and bruise) by a slug that gets through his impervious. The rifle bullets can't hurt him. It tries to run them down, but Reyes gets out of the way and Wren is just pushed aside without being hurt.

The Suburban stops and the security bot driver is about to jump out, while four men do as well. There are three still inside using the window for cover. Reyes blasts the men nearest him with his plasma rifle, taking them both down.

Wren gets an action.

Meanwhile, in the plane, Dantoni, the pilot, says to the bickering Hope and Star "Calm down, you'll both be fine. Just relax. We'll get you patch up soon. If you want, someone go get a couple of those silver ring-hats with lights on em out of the med storage area in the back. They monitor vitals, so those two can safely sleep. You should be able to find the interface program on the computers at your seats."

Understandable. Glad you're okay though! :).

"Groovy. Always did like to come back from something life threatening alive. Now, could someone make the room stop spinning?" Hope asks. "It does nothing for the decor," she closed her eyes when people started to multiply again. "What is it with you people? Can't you stop multiplying?"

2 Bruises, Defense 19, Toughness 21-2=19, HP 3 (2 if I improved Hope to Normal)

Wren spies the enemies, and the need to get out of here now. He takes the suburban as his target, with the others simply being collateral damage.

Blast +11 to the Suburban, Area Burst Attack, -1 dmg per 10’ from Suburban, Affects Insubstantial x2, Knockback x3

He is hoping to cause the suburban to explode, and add another damaging attack to the attackers to aid in his own blast attack. He will make sure that his Force Field is up, and that he is in front of Reyes, as any shrapnel would be a bad thing for Reyes...

"Plane needs to be ready to take off! Foundry personnel trying to hijack the plane! Some cover fire would be good..."

Wren then turns to Reyes, motioning for him to fall back to the plane. He then will turn his attention to the other 3 Trust men, and get ready to evacuate or help the one that most needs it. (Not sure what their situations are, as in are they needing help to get back to plane or not. If so, then he will gladly use another Extra Effort to create another wall of cosmic force to place between any threats and the retreating guys.)

Create Objects 8, 15' height, 106.67' length, 5' thick wall that will try to block off as many of the incoming threats as possible so that the others can escape to the plane.

"Reyes and ground support have some cover now. Don't bother shooting, there's an invisible wall up. Just get on the plane!"

(Standard action to Blast Area Burst the suburban and area to hit all the attackers, then hopefully the car explodes and adds another attack on the threats. Move action to place himself between shrapnel and Reyes, taking any damage that Reyes would be subjected to. Then, Extra Effort for another Action, Create Objects to create invisible wall to block off any further advance on the Trust guys trying to get to plane... I think that covers it...)
 

"Alright, who was that and what the hell just happened? Nightweaver says looking around . o O {and thank god I didn't manifest super speed, moving that fast all the time...}
 

Is he calling me complacent? I try to work on my flight and refine the programs I use to control it. That's enough, right? "I don't like to look back so much; the things I do see pretty crazy after the fact." Like nearly killing all those people. Or delivering a full power blast.

"Oh. Optic. Did that code I wrote help out any? We still need to get our backup to the plane." Please...

Shooting Star floats over to the med storage and clumsily grabs a number of the medical monitors. "What do you mean 'sleeping with head injuries is bad?' They told me I should just sleep most things off, since I heal faster that way."
 

"I don't have accelerated healing or regeneration," Hope remarks. "About the only thing 'super fast' I do is investigate." she says, through closed eyelids. "S one of the reasons why I went into law inforcement."

"I'm not really sure. Not a medic y'know." Hope says quietly, tiredly. "I just know it's bad to sleep with a concussion, especially really bad ones."
