Superheroes of the Trust Game Thread

"Your father is an expert on material engineering, did he have any ongoing experiment that you know about?"

"Some kind of unbashable armor I think. I don't know much about his inventions."

 

[Raylis]

"Where is his lab?"

 

[DM_Matt]

"Where is his lab?"

"Downstairs. Come with us"

He leads you back through that fake wall and down to the basement, where sure enough there is a well-equipped lab.

 

[Shayuri]

Viridian looks around, clearly impressed.

"Ben...the people that took your father look like they want to use his technology to build some kind of super weapon. We're still not sure of the details...but I'm wondering if you would be all right with us getting copies of his work, for analysis. Maybe we could use the data to come up with some kind of weak spot, or point of reversal, in the weapon."

Ben looks angry "No way. But your curiosity makes me wonder if you really ARE from the Labyrinth..." He starts moving his gun hand, but Samantha puts her hand on his arm, stopping him. She looks at him and says with a look that Viridian suspects tells Ben something that it does not tell the others "Its ok. You don't have to give them the info, but they aren't Labyrinth. I'm sure of it."

The force field is the one that the projected Barrington and control freak had, not the projector. I.e., it was programmed for them to appear to have a force field that had that function. She pulls up a map on the computer and finds how to get to the tech section, a sprawling facility with numerous secure labs and a central area where less dangerous experiments are performed at computers and workbenches. Star finds Mr. Blue.

Umm, I didn't think I'd be meeting the boss of this department. "Good ?morning? I think I have this holoprojector figured out now. What do I do with it now and where do I report the details I learned?" Amazing small talk

If requested, she'll do a quick demonstration and/or technical explanation.

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.

They were about to come out with a breakthrough applicable to applying genetic alterations to adult humans, which would give them a huge advantage in the field, especially against key genetic alteration conglomerate such as Grant and Labrys. The other kidnapped scientist had invented some kind of temporary super-power drug that he had just put out for bidding on the black market. Apparently, someone decided they would rather have it for free.

"Wow. A superhero AND an excellent scientist. Very impressive," says Blue admiringly.

Megan blushes and looks off to the side. "I'm not really a scientist; I'm just freakishly good at coding." And that doesn't count for much when dealing with technopaths. Optic didn't say anything when I asked if my programs helped him hack the AI, so he was just sparing me the bad news. She regains her composure and smiles, "It'd be nice if some of my professors saw things that way, though."

---------------------

Megan pauses, making an effort at conversation. "How do you get involved in this kind of thing on your end? Even if most superheroes try to keep their identities secret, the stuff we do tends to be pretty overt."

 

[Shayuri]

Ben looks angry "No way. But your curiosity makes me wonder if you really ARE from the Labyrinth..." He starts moving his gun hand, but Samantha puts her hand on his arm, stopping him. She looks at him and says with a look that Viridian suspects tells Ben something that it does not tell the others "Its ok. You don't have to give them the info, but they aren't Labyrinth. I'm sure of it."

Viridian actually grins in reaction as the tension eases, and shakes her head.

"From what I understand, the Labyrinth wouldn't bother asking. But no, it's okay if you don't feel comfortable with that. It's not what I came here for. In fact, I'll get started on that, if it's okay. It'll take a moment, so go on talking with Nightweaver if you like."

She picks a clear spot on the lab floor and sits down crosslegged, setting the hairs from the razor in front of her. She then digs in her satchel and produces a few odd objects. A small glass vial of clear liquid. A piece of what looks like quartz crystal. A white candle on a little wooden stand. A small stick of incense. She arranges these items at the cardinal compass points around the hair, then lights the candle and the incense. Finally she sets a smallish glass orb right on top of the little pile of hair.

With a murmured invocation of Thoth's eye, which sees only the truth, and the spirits of earth, air and water, to find Fine wherever he may be, Viridian concentrates on the orb, willing it to show her the scientist as he was right now.
