It really sucks to have to do this, but... "We probably need to move quickly once the attack starts, since they can probably just destroy the files we want and any other major bits of evidence. Hitting them with an EMP is probably less important than keeping them from wiping their own systems with magnetic fields."

"Plus, if you want to capture the boat, why do you want to break all the electronics? What exactly do you plan on siezing, the metal shell? If you want the ship intact, then subdue all his people or get them to surrender."

"I hope people are going to get a chance to practice with those rocket packs beforehand."

Hope nodded reluctantly. "I can create walls as well with my ice. Doors won't be a problem, I'm fairly strong when I need to be and my control air power is precise enough to pass for telikensis. I can also sort of 'see' in the darkness, by sensing where the air is displaced by objects." she chuckled a little. "If it came down to it, I could carry up to two people comfortably while flying. They'd have to take care of the defense though, because I won't be able to do much else."

"Heh, on second thought, I'd better requisition some grav boot / grav belt combinations. Much easier to use and less...explosive. I can temporarily disrupt electronics instead of destroying them, though that ability is somewhat less reliable. I agree though that we should be careful. We need to go."

Black leads everyone to a plane, in the hanger area, a bit bigger than the one you usually use, but shaped generally the same. Dantoni is already in the pilot's seat preparing for takeoff when you arrive. The plane exits the sea cliff, climbs rapidly, and accelerates rapidly in two stages, as the gravity drives are turned to max and the scramjets kick in.

It will be about an hour until you reach the target, about 50 miles southwest of Cyprus in the Mediterranean. It will be about 5:45am, a bit before dawn.

"Perfect timing," Shooting Star complains.

"Perfect timing," Shooting Star complains.

"Hey, nothing gets the blood going like the threat of imminent death," Hope cracks, settling into a chair and leaning back. "I like this sort of thing a lot better than having somebody's last moments alive thrust in your face."

(You forgot Nitro. He was just taping interviews)

Just before the plane takes off, Johnny Nitro comes running up to the hangar. "Hey, wait for me!"

Once on board, "That message from Barrington- pretty crazy, huh? Well, time to play a little more offense."

 

[kirinke]

"We almost left without you Nitro," she grinned a little at the out of breath wrestler. "Nice interview by the way." She seemed more relaxed, less tense then before, nor full of barely repressed rage. The talk with Apollo obviously did some good, let some of the stress out.

Wow, your powers have some downsides? I'd never know what that's like. No need to bring it up every 5 minutes, she thinks bitterly. I'm tired, hungry, and stuck on a plane.

"Yes, that was a nice speech, Nitro."

Let's try not to sound like an idiot here. "It's nice to meet you, Apollo. I'm sorry about rushing out earlier," Megan says hesitantly.

(There is food on the plane if you want it. Nothing fancy, but its functional. Mostly MREs and energy bars/drinks)

 

[Victim]

Once the initial boost is over, Megan gets up and walks over to the food, planting each foot heavily. Just don't try to fly. At all. Dang it. She fusses over the nutrional information before settling for an MRE and heading clumsily back to her seat.
