Viridian stops to watch the two flyers zip around the ship. She shakes her head.

"If love's your thing, be happy you're not a real angel. According to Hebrew accounts, it was the offspring of forbidden unions between earthbound angels and mortals that gave rise to a monstrous race of giants, whose existence cheesed off God so much he flooded the world and most of the people in it just to get rid of them. Of course, that's Jehovah for you. Very big on overkill."

"As for the bomb, I can't punt anything if I can't see it somehow. Is it such a big deal if it blows?"

(Slightly off there. The angel-humping was one of the crimes of HUMANITY that led to the flood, not the need to get rid of the offspring,and depending on one's interpretation of the text, it could be said to support the claim that some of the giants survived. Regardless, you've given me an idea....mwhahaaaaa...maybe.)

(OOC - I've heard it quoted several ways...it's not like there's only one way to read the original texts, let alone the translations. ;) I've seen some readings that say the angels -raped- human women to produce nephilim...others where human women seduced the woebound angels. It's all a matter of perspective. :) Oh, and yeah, supposedly there were nephilim that survived the flood and became the basis for a number of Sci Fi Original Movies. :))

Angel answers with obvious amusement, "Ah yes, happy I am not an Angel eh?"

"I am sorry my colloqualisms mayhap are off. I meant that yes if it blows up what can we do... I know nothing much practical about such things I fear."

OOC: BTW He is searching the ship while talking with V and crew. Also, Bad evil GM, bad. lol. Poor Angel what has he done to desrve that? Oh wait, he's a PC... Never mind, carry on then.

Optic heads for the bomb, examining it. This is the kind of situation he was MADE for. "Allright, we've got a bomb on the ship, less than 3 minutes remaining, we're not sure how powerful it is or if we can disarm it. I'll see what I can do, but anybody who can't be of immediate help on the ship, get away in case we can't stop it!"
[sblock=ooc]
X-ray vision, Analytical sight, Extended Sight, Datalink, +16 notice, +16 Computers(if applicable), +5 ALL Knowledges (trained). I should (Hopefully) be able to know everything I can find out about it by the time I get to the ship.

Also, Remember Optic has Time Sense, so he'll make sure everyone gets out when the bomb's getting down there.
How much time left by the time I get info on it btw?

He arrives at the computer room, and tries to figure the bomb -- and the system -- out. The system appears very much locked down, but he finds that since Nitro accidently destroyed the communications relay on the ship, there is some data in a buffer that it is trying to send. He manages to intercept it, but it may take a bit to process. In it he finds immediately a dossier on Daedalus, an inventor super in the Freedom League. Using his X-Ray vision and using his analytical vision to trace the wires and their signals, he discovers that the connections between the computer system and the bomb have been cut, such that even if he hacked the override code, it would not be able to stop the bomb. He starts tracing the wring to the bomb himself, but before he does, Angel spots it with his True Sight. Angel's True Sight can detect things that have been placed with guileful intent, and thus he can detect the bomb hidden in the cargo hold, along with a lot of unprocessed heroin that never got unloaded lots of ammunition for the visor guards' weapons, and assorted conventional small arms, RPGs, and a few rockets. It is located IN a very large crate. Looking through it with his X-Ray vision, Optic analyzes it, and finds that it is capable of a very large explosion, albeit one that will do little more than destroy the essentially already-destroyed OxCorp compound. He also finds its internal timer. He calculates it as set to 1 minute and 34 seconds, even though the clock on the main computer is showing 2:35.

Angel also got the chance to examine the Shiek's quarters. In it are a number of different poppies in environmentally-controlled cases. The labels underneath seem to imply that they are unique strains. Also in the quarters is a folder containing a dossier on the White Knight. Finally, he detects a hidden item: a flash drive buried beneath one of the poppies.

Shooting Star meanwhile finds the quarters of the two other supervillains. In one she finds a wide variety of printed materials and books, mostly on archaeology, with others on politics and engineering. Most of the material is in English, but a good chunk is in some sort of Middle Eastern language. There is also a folder halfway under the couch. It contains a dossier on the Freedom City Museum of Natural History, especially aspects of its security protocols, personnel, and business transactions. In the other, almost everything is in Cyrilic, and various cables and chips and scraps of electronic devices are found lying around, but unfortunately, no hard drives or other data storage devices.
 



"I found some stuff in their rooms. Info on FC Museum of Natural History, stuff in Russian, some unknown language, some books and computer stuff. Can someone help remove it? All these loose papers will be ruined if I try to fly them out at speed." And I'm about as strong as a kitten.

Shooting Star begins stacking and organizing the files for easier transport. Hmm, stacking the open folders between books would keep stuff from blowing away. Maybe.

That same voice sends out another message on your commlinks. "Just so ya know, we have rapid evac capabilities. You might want to get back to the warehouse if you plan on avoiding the blast area."
 

"Get it out on the deck and I can move it, but I don't think I can move it anywhere safe in time," Viridian says. "Fact is, I could really use some help just getting to the warehouse."

"Give me some notice if that thing's going to go off so I can get a ward up."

She resumes towards the warehouse as fast as she can (half speed due to exhaustion).
