Superheroes of the Trust Game Thread

Once everyone links hands, they are teleported in a flash of bright white light.

You find yourselves in loading platform of some sort, looking down on an area full of vehicles. The cavern is long, and contains many doors out, including a road that curves down and into the lower floor, a large, flooded area with a dock for boats, and some tubes above that you gather are for small aircraft. As the end of the platform are double doors leading to what is likely a larger facility.

"Welcome to the headquarters of Trust, in a mountain by the sea in Southern Virginia" Ms. White says. "Here you will be apprised of the resources that you will have available to you, and be briefed on the details -- including the complications -- of the last mission, and their implications. But before we do any of that, we have some more pressing matters to deal with: Many of you are hurt, so the infirmary will be the first stop. She leads you through the doors,into an elevator, and takes you down a few levels. You step out into what looks like a fully-stocked emergency room, although there are only a handful of patients and plenty of staff at the moment. There are several private rooms connected to this one, as wall as another set of double doors labeled "Biomedical Research" leading deeper into the facility.

Those doors fly open, and a red-haired, green-eyed woman with a bright red button-down shirt under a white lab coat greets you, slightly out of breath. "You must be Sigma Team. I'm Red, Chief of Medicine for the Trust. I just heard about the initiation going south and ran straight here. So sorry about that...usually we're a lot more competent. This never should have gone down this way. Everyone grab a bed, we'll fix you up."

Mr. Black helps Nightweaver into bed and says "Unfortunately, I need those shades back. Close your eyes. They'll take good care of you here." He then leaves.

Ms. White displays that she has healing powers of her own, which Viridian notices do not require verbal or material components -- a neat trick. Ms. White's hands glow, and she runs them over your wounds, gradually causing them to heal.

Red and her staff seem to not have any powers, but some of their devices appear to be super-science oriented. The three badly-affected by the Shiek's poisons are wheeled into their own rooms and hooked up to IVs by staff. Red joins Shooting Star, and says "See, this is why it is good that the Trust had your medical records ahead of time...in case something went bad early. Your chart says you've had some medical problems in the past, and are on a number of medications?" I'm going to test your blood to make sure the poison didn't cause any unusual side effects in conjunction with your other medications. (Takes blood)

Nitro has been quietly quite pissed, but some of his anger has passed. He archs his eyebrows at Red's words.

"You've got some cool technology but the Trust certainly seems to have the mentality of a rookie. I thought this was the major league, not the bush league."

He pauses and more mundane concerns start to come into focus. "Say, I don't need any medical care, but I'm awfully hungry. Can a guy get a good burrito or hamburger here in the middle of the night?"

Ms. White says "I assure you that your first impression is not an accurate one. Give us the chance, and we'll prove it."

"The calf is automated...the elevator will get you back." She waves her hand, while looking at Nitro. "Calfeteria!" she says. He finds himself in a calfeteria. There are few people eating, and on one wall there is a row of touch-screens with doors underneath.
 

The area around Nightweaver's bed grows pitch black, though she doesn't allow herself to fall asleep. o O { the bad guys make that a necessity sometimes, Tragic, heartbreaking, but -- unavoidable Unavoidable, a necessity? . He's patronizing us, trying to make us- no probably himself- feel better. Her own fault? Not entirely. If we had been able to reach the boat- just another what if. We have to realize it, accept it and move on... no one said this would be easy.

"When will this debriefing take place? she says aloud, not bothering to further disguise her wearyness.

(BTW, your ASCII thought bubbles are awesome)

Mr. Black says "Once we get time to gather the info together...and once you have had a good nap."
 

Angel visits everyone injured to try to speed healing up.

He says to Black/White "Well we all look forward to your briefing. In the mean time I think I will see if I can help with the healing."
 

Is there anyone involved who wasn't at responsible in part? If these Trust people had approached us differently, if we'd attacked the boat immediately or something... Damn it. Shooting Star is quiet on their walk through the Trust base, a bit overwhelmed by the fight, its aftermath, and now this.

"Right. I was worried. My emergency response information with the newest stuff should be here someplace." Megan admits. She glances over to Nightweaver and Viridian, ashamed.

"Don't heal me unless I'm dying or specificly ask for, okay?" she says harshly to Angel. Belatedly: "No offense. But there can be too much of a good thing."

Taking Mr. Black's hint, Megan tries to relax.
 

Once she's in bed, despite her anger and conflicted emotions, Thessaly is just too physically and emotionally exhausted not to fall asleep. The illusory costume winks out, leaving her a little shorter and a little less supermodelish, but still an adorably cute college-age girl fast asleep in her jeans and grey university T-shirt.

Considering that she was shot at with rockets and machinegun fire, fell 3 stories, was blasted by railgun cannon and smashed by a werewolf's mighty paw...her injuries are surprisingly minimal. She doesn't even wake up when they're healed.
 

The while the others wait around, eat, help healing, etc, they infirmary deals with those with poison and other injuries. Those who are merely fatigued are given some pills and some kind of injection, which seems along with the passage of time to fix them.

Viridian, Shooting Star, and Nightweaver wake up in private rooms, the latter two not entirely sure how they fell asleep in the first place and all having to piece together their scattered but basically-complete memories of the night before. Despite the slight buzz, they feel extremely well-rested, like they've been asleep for a half a day or so -- but its' only been about an half an hour.

The elevator opens up, and Ms. White, who had been gone for a while, returns. "I trust that you are all healed up? If so, howsabout that briefing I promised you."
