Superheroes of the Trust Game Thread

I hope that was an appropriate use of a Hero point outside of battle. Um, it will regenerate once she gets a night's rest or something right?
She spared Ms. White and Mr. Black, they didn't need convincing. Though they did see everything the others experienced, because it was reflected in the glowing disk thingie. They just didn't get the full whammy that the doubting Tomas' of the group did.

Ok, spending Hero Point to negate that little parlor trick. Wren's not interested in justification. After all, he wasn't even there to see what happened.

She didn't focus the vision on Wren, Mr. Black or Ms. White, but on Nitro, Shooting Star, Viridian, Nightweaver and Optic. They were the ones accusing her of unjustified banishing. So no real worries.

In the morning, Hope wakes and stares at the ceiling of the room allocated to her, going over the previous days events, wincing some at her actions and pondering the new directions her powers seem to have taken. What part was magic and controllable? What part was due to something else? She couldn't know, didn't even really understand half of what she did, nor did anyone at AEGIS really. Even if weather workers and magicians were a dime a dozen, what she did and how she did it was unique. She concentrated, thinking of the air symbol she had created and a circle solidified, spinning slowly.

"What is happening to me?" she asked herself quietly. It had been a long time since a new power had manifested itself, she thought they had matured. Obviously, she was mistaken. She considered the circle, the power felt similar to the ice power she commanded, was this simply a new facet of that power?

She reached for the circle, fingering it. It was cool to the touch, but not cold, and was lighter than she thought. It was air after all. She flicked it away from herself and it dissapated at her mental urging, shimmering a little as it did so.

"Curious..." she thought and pushed it from her mind. Right now she felt a great desire to shower, followed by breakfast.

So what is everyone going to do on your day quasi-off?

 

[kirinke]

Hope is going to find out what she can on Grant and Labrys Industries, then she's going to use her street contacts to see what shakes loose (Any information regarding what Gunner talked about).

She's also going to go to the Medical bay and see what's 'wrong' with her, why she's suddenly developing new powers. In the mean time she'll hook up with the others.
She'll also link up with Foreshadow, to see if he's been getting any visions pertaining to Barrington and give him what she knows, just in case something does happen.

 

[Fangor the Fierce]

Wren will spend some time Gathering Info on Asad. He would like to know anything about the guy's bank accounts, and follow that, as the old saying goes, 'Follow the money'. As for the 1pp to spend, I am not too sure on what to spend that on, if anything. Until then, I will save it.

Wren will also take some time to speak with Ms. White on the files of the others. He would like to read up on their powers and what to expect. He knew a little, but knowing how they work together would enable him to fit in more.

Wren will also, if possible, spend a Hero Point to try and focus or enhance his Cosmic Power to attune with where this threat is located. He might be able to track it down, as it surely is a threat to the Cosmic Balance. He would concentrate on the satellite that the enemies have taken over, and go from there.

Gather Info +14...

Of course, he will also attune himself with his ring, taking the hour needed to do so...

Red examines her, but finds nothing wrong "Your powers seem to be progressing naturally. I'd have to do some more detailed analysis of your bloodwork, but I am not convinced that your "spells" are not merely ways of focusing your own inborn powers. Where you got them, I cannot yet determine, though."

Hope does not find out much more about those companies, but she does find out where in Freedom City the Grant family lives.

Later, you manage to find Foreshadow, meeting him on a lonely rooftop "Hope. I hear you were invovled in that museum battle. Good work. Whats up?"

Wren is not very good with computers, but he does manage to task the Trust AI to help out with tracing finances. He does find at least two of Asad's Swiss bank accounts, but it is going to take an expert in finance and hacking to trace the money.

He finds that Asad has a tendency to work in the biotech and human-enhancement industries. Almost of his known hits and clients have been inovled in those matters.

He does not manage to find the source of the threat, since it seems to be diffuse. The device does not seem to be anywhere close to assembled.

"Faust is alive," Hope says quietly. "He was working with a supervillian called Barrington." she tells him what she knows and finishes. "Have you seen anything pertaining to Barrington and this doomsday weapon he's building? We have a cosmic controller on our team, he says if it activates, it'll shift the cosmic balance towards evil." she hands him a cd containing the information she has on the weapon as well as what information she has on Barrington and his activities, knowing that he has a great many more contacts than she does in the criminal community. "Any information you find, can you pass it to me? This is serious Foreshadow, maybe as serious as the Terminus invasion."

"Heh, I know. Not only am I psychic, but I occasionally watch the evening news. Barrington, I sense, is another name for the terrorist Johnny Jihad who took over the Lighthouse and is making all kinds of demands? I'll look into this.

But I have a question for you. I heard that your new friends were responsible for taking down Numero Uno and Heroin Shiek. I'm hearing that the mob is just eating this up. Big Al Diorgiano and Sali Rigatti have made a deal to take over where the Cholos left off, and they are seeking partners overseas for drug smuggling. Your friends seem to have handed the mob the biggest gift they've received in years, and the mod's response was so quick that it seems they were ready for it. I want to know why your friends chose the targets they did."

Hope grinned a little at Foreshadow's jib, but then he knew that she always gave the information she had in total. It saved confusion later on.

"From what I can gather, Numero Uno and Heroin Shiek were working with Barrington, that was somewhat before I got on board, in fact I was investigating the fallout when I was approached." her expression was grim as she relayed what she knew about the two bad-guys and why they were targeted by the group.

"Somehow, all of this ties in with Barrington and I know that Wolfson, Sheppard and Doe are involved in this and not just with the representing part either. Wheels within wheels." she said.

"And if I were a betting girl, I'd bet that those drug smuggling partners were tied to Barrington in someway or another. He doesn't miss a trick,"

She shook her head. "I don't exactly trust these guys, Mr. Black or Ms. White, but then again, they have the only group large enough to counter Barrington. I haven't quite figured out their angle in all this. The only migating factor they have is that I trust Henry and his judgement. Usually anyway."

"I sort of put my foot in it during the fight in the foundry. I banished a demon by setting off a firestorm right next to one of my teammates. They thought I had murdered him." She grinned wryly at Foreshadow. "Sorta like how we first met,"
