Superheroes of the Trust Game Thread

"Yes. He is a reclusive man."

"Any partners?" The Labyrinth could strike at them as well.

"He had one. But he is safe, I believe."

"Which is one of the reasons the Trust got started. Some of those folks wound up working for supervillains...not nearly as many as their Russian equivalents, but some. We got some great ones though. I'm not sure we could really have been able to set this up without them. Well, them and the alien spaceship. Thats...nifty."

"Yeah, it is pretty cool. Especially the matter replicators. It seems like a shame we have such restrictive laws regarding that kind of technology,," she says, but then glances toward the alien superhero. "I guess Wren might have a different opinion about it, though."

Nightweaver glances over to Viridian, "She might need a minute or two more. What is his partner's name.

"Jim Hogarth. He's left the country."

Nightweaver thinks he's lying.

"Considering my planet is now destroyed, there is much to say about limiting and restricting certain aspects of technology. Especially ones that are uncontrollable. There were plenty of errors, and casualties due to not having restrictions. It's a tough matter to really deal with. Without advances in technology, there wouldn't be space travel. Without space travel, I wouldn't be here. Without me here, the few things I did help with would not have happened the way they did. You know, the Butterfly Effect."

Wren agrees with the conversation, for the most part, and turns to Shooting Star and her question. "Don't worry. I only read the briefing of your abilities, strengths, and such. Personal matters are not for me to interfere with.

As for getting something to eat, yeah, might as well. Perhaps some fresh air will clear our minds. Filling me in on this device you cracked open would probably help as well. As for this Asad guy, I would like to find out how he gets hired. Perhaps a little ploy in another possible job would get him to come out of hiding. With those computer skills of yours, think you could scan across the black market and see how this Asad got his job offer? Perhaps knowing that, we can lure him out with a fake job offer. Then, we can meet up with him and get the info we need out of him. Telling him to meet for a lunch briefing would work. If he's as adept as I think, he'll get the message, and we'll be waiting for him."

*Bump* esp. for Shayuri.

 

[Shayuri]

(hehe, sorry. Had to get home before responding to this one.)

Viridian sits still as the vision clears from the orb and her mind's eye. Inventions and power. That had to be the woman in armor, the radiation projector. And on a mission of vigilante vengeance. If she told them where Ben's father was, would they try to kill him? What about his partner?

She was starting to wish they'd brought more backup.

I will not fear.

She collects her paraphenalia and puts it back in the satchel at her side. Hana had called it a 'witchbag.' Thess smiled at that memory; she missed her old friend right now.

"I've seen Dr. Fine. He's alive and well for now, but he needs our help immediately."

"Where is he? We want to help, and we had a deal."

"You too? The other alien who was on our team for a bit had also lost all his people." She looks through her phone for the name: "Salix, that's right."

"I was thinking more of how you felt about picking over alien stuff for useful goodies or retrofitting it to suit our needs. Like if it was disrespectful."

"While I can understand the importance of restrictions, I'm not really sure about how that applies to technology. Even if it's illegal, then criminals or other countries could still make use of things like nanoassembly. We still have it to make stuff for our base. Sooner or later, won't it break open anyway? It seems like trying to hold back the Industrial Revolution." She continues, "Maybe I'm being selfish since the field I'm studying wouldn't be so hard hit, but aren't we talking about a technology that can basically end material scarcity? That seems like it's worth taking some risks to achieve. And wouldn't it be better if it's something that we initiate ourselves, instead of having the change rammed down our throats by some competing country?"

Well, powers can be pretty personal too. But I guess alot of the stuff about my powers wasn't in that capability summary section. Otherwise, he'd wouldn't be so casual about it, right? "Yeah, I agree. The rest of us agreed not to look at personal stuff too."

Megan sighs. "I have computer skills, yes. I don't know anything about the logistics or organization of the black market - I don't even watch those sorts of movies. I'm not part of shadowy network of master crackers. I can't do that sort of thing."

"Besides, an assassin/kidnapper probably isn't so easily set up - otherwise he would have been caught by now, right?"

Megan will explain the holo device, relaying the information above as well as the story of how it was used on the helicopter.
