Superheroes of the Trust Game Thread

[DM_Matt]

If no one has figured out the holo yet, she'll try to examine it to see how it's programmed to respond to various situations.

(Computers +17; Knowledge: Tech +5)

(She rolls ridiculously well)

Shooting Star manages to fully comprehend Control Freak's coding, and to figure out how to use the hologram. In fact, she now can even reprogram and reuse the device. The shields on the holograms seem to block energy blasts and fast-moving projectiles, though not melee attacks and slow projectiles. It is, however, on top of very powerful armor. She also gets exact, three-dimensional visuals of Barrington and Control Freak, since this seems that they inputted full body scans into the device. She finds that Barrington's weapons are programmed to be rarely used and miss, so as not to arise suspicion.

After giving Foreshadow the information, she grins at the superhero. "You 'see' anything, call me, alright? I'll keep my ear to the ground and give you a ring if I hear any rumbles concerning the local crime rings. Right now, it's shaping up that Barrington is behind most of the attacks that happened in the past few weeks. It wouldn't surprise me if he's also behind some of the moves the local mafia has been making. He's consolidating his power, if I'm any judge."

She looked her friend seriously. "Be careful alright? I'd hate to loose one of the few 'capes who actually does trust me," she grinned again. "Well, as much as you trust anyone anyway," she chuckled.

Foreshadow was even more suspicious of people in general than she was. Maybe that's why they got along so well. Shared nereosis can be a wonderful way to start a lasting friendship.

"I have a contact. I ma be able to find out if the mafia is mixed up with much larger players on these matters"

 

[DM_Matt]

(OOC note: I don't recall Viridian having a problem with Hope burning the demon. )

After a troubled sleep, Thessally, AKA Viridian, awakens late in the morning and goes through the motions of morning rituals of normalcy. Breakfast. Shower. Dressing. It's a comfort.

Finally ready to dive back into the whirlpool of madness that has engulfed her life (dimly she remembers college, and wonders vaguely if she's missed the application deadline for this semester yet...), Thessaly swings by Nightweaver's place and asks her to find an address for the kidnapped scientist. Then using a mapsoft she gets an idea of where that is, in real world terms.

Once she feels like she can link a portal there, she starts the ritual and says to NIghtweaver. "Lets stop by and see if he left anything personal we can use to scry on him."

(BTW, did you ever scry on the mystery super?)

 

[DM_Matt]

Any luck on finding out his past three jobs? Wren would like to get an idea on how often this guy has been active lately, and what his last three jobs entailed. Perhaps there was a pattern that could put Wren in the path of the assassins next target. Finding out who hired him might also work, as he could easily talk to his past 'employers'...

Other than Fine, there was another kidnapped scientist on the verge of a biotech breakthrough, and a third was a bombing at a biotech firm that rivaled Grant Conglomerates.

 

[Shayuri]

(BTW, did you ever scry on the mystery super?)

(I was going to get the focus for the scientist first, then do a marathon scrying session on both... I should note too...if getting the focus for the scientist is going to be trivial...largely uncontested, the family easily persuaded, or whatever...feel free to handwave actually RP'ing it out. I don't want to bring things crashing to a halt. I just didnt' want to assume it would be automatic. )

(Nah, something is gunna happen.)

 

[Raylis]

The door moves. It seems that it is not only unlocked, but open a crack.

"Shall we go in?" Nightweaver asks, putting her hand on the door.

 

[Victim]

(Is the force field on this device similar to either the field of Barrington or Control Freak?)

"Gotcha!" Megan grins in triumph. Too bad this doesn't count for class. Well, if it did, then the written report grade would probably kill me. But now what do I do? Shooting Star takes the projector and starts looking for the section of the base for the tech guys - Mr. Blue's group.

 

[Shayuri]

Viridian knocks again, pushing the door open a bit more.

"Hello?" she calls into the house. "Anyone home? Your door's open."

She looks at Nightweaver. "This feels a little funny. Lets go in...carefully."

With that, she pushes the door the rest of the way open and steps inside.

 

[Fangor the Fierce]

Other than Fine, there was another kidnapped scientist on the verge of a biotech breakthrough, and a third was a bombing at a biotech firm that rivaled Grant Conglomerates.

Wren will then dig up info on the bombing, as to who was there, survivors, and information on what they were working on. Perhaps it was blown up to stop a potential caveat to their design. (Gather Info +14) Wren will also go speak with whomever is still at the Trust compound about the bombing and the other kidnapped scientist. Perhaps they could think of more options to try. Otherwise, he will see who needs help, as he's at a dead end of sorts.
