Superheroes of the Trust Game Thread

Hope shook her head at Viridian's statement. "Sorry... But Hell isn't as hot as you'd think. In fact, in some places it's damned cold. No for what you're thinking, he'd want to use one of the elemental planes, either energy or fire for this." she said from experience. "Hell depends greatly on one's point of view,"

"I knew I should have kept my mouth shut," Vi mutters.

"Look, it doesn't matter. Lets just focus on stopping him."

Hope and Viridian both know a bit about Hell.

Hope has been to the gates of Hell, but has never passed through. Hell is a prison dimension from which there is rarely any escape, especially for those who do not enter voluntarily.

Magical travel to and from that dimension -- beyond the gates, which themselves are dimensional walls -- is essentially impossible due to wards and the fact that its dimensional walls are far more difficult to breach than other alternate universes, although there are certain places in various dimensions where the barrier is thinner. Beyond the dimensional walls is a powerful force field that keeps the imprisoned in, which is extremely difficult to breach. This field does not effect visitors, but everyone who belongs there, all the way up to the devil himself, is affected.

Uncomfortable with the direction of the discussion, Shooting Star comments "We shouldn't be talking about all our plans in front of this guy. Where do we go to turn him in?"

Viridian goes over to the Gunner and kneels down a bit so their heads are level.

"There's got to be some kind of failsafe, right? I mean, the Foundry makes superweapons for dangerous people. There'd have to be some kind of control you sneak in that lets you disable them if someone tries to use them against you, right?"

Hope looks at Viridian surprised and grins, she had been thinking along those same lines herself. "Right. A fault, something that wouldn't be apparent to anyone but someone who built the thing. Think of this, if the Cosmic Balance is truly shifted towards evil, do you think that the Foundry will benefit or anyone really other than Barrington? What I said was true. He does not tolerate rivals at all. The Foundry would be first on his hit list and if he does gain the kind of power this device looks like it's capable of delivering, no one will be safe. No one,"

"Don't worry, we aren't talking about anything he doesn't know already." Hope added dryly. "And besides, I have a feeling that our employers have people who can wipe this conversation right out of his mind."

Being to the Gates was bad enough, the dimensional barriers though thick and the wards stout, couldn't hold back the screams of the damned, the echoes of despair and pain. The barriers literally pulsed with all of the negative emotions, a fetid stain upon unreality and reality, the bars of the Gates grinning down at her like some inviting death's head....

Hope's expression was hollow as she remembered, that thought leading to Stephan and what had led her to take that path and her eyes met Viridian's for some reason. Those eyes were full of the anger, rage and raw grief of a woman who had seen too much, who had witnessed the horrific and who had been changed by it. For a moment, you see the truth behind the empherical mask Hope always wore and it is scary. The moment passes and the mask is back.

If you look upon the Abyss long enough, you will see yourself in the long dark of it's eternal night...

I'd think Gunner would have seen it too, but he'd probably be well aware of her um... reputation and what she's capable of/been through, via Onigumo. I'm considering her to be sort of a Boogeyman to the evil supernatural types, because when Faust and his merry band tortured her partner to death, she went on a rampage through the evil side of the supernatural community. It wasn't pretty...

Foreshadow helped her, kept her from going completely out of control and managed to bring her back to herself after she had thought she had finished Faust off in Prague with an AK-47 and brought his house/hideout down on top of him. I dunno, just an idea to screw with her further...

"The risks outweigh the benefits. Some extremely skilled scientists in our clients' employ examine our products in detail. If someone found this, our business would dry up."

"So no outright faults. But nothing is certain and anything that big has to have some sort of fault to it. Look it the Titanic for example or the Heisenburg." she looks at the sims again, thoughtfully, then back to the Gray Gunner.

"I'm sorry, but I think we're gonna have to knock you out now for your safety as well as ours. The less you know, the less that Barrington or anyone else can bribe or beat out of you if he or they get their mitts on you. I doubt the Foundry cares one wit what we do to Barrington and would probably prefer that we kill each other off. So, we're not necessarily enemies in this, but we're not really allies either."

She turned to the medic apologetically. "Um Reyes right? Do you have anything that can knock him out painlessly? I'm sure he'd prefer drugs to a fist or whatever..."

(So, does the Trust database have anything on the names Gunner mentioned?)
----------------------

"The Heisenberg?" Megan asks. Was there a space ship disaster that I missed? Maybe she means the Hindenberg?

She yawns. I'm still tired, and messing with this simulation is getting old. Plus I can barely understand this stuff - I don't even have a degree yet. Would it be okay if I tried to sleep now? There's still this guy, after all. And it might be rude.

Sorry misspelling.... I get the two bloody confused. Lol
