Superheroes of the Trust Game Thread

Alright. So does she know about the Trust itself, I mean, does she know that it exists?

Oh, edited my original post to reflect what you said.

(Well, you could change this, but my understanding was that she is one of the Trust's agents within AEGIS)

EDIT: Also, Ms. Black, Miss White, and the others were never seen by the Raptor pilots or rescued EMTs. The group teleported into the warehouse and teleported back to their base, but they never were outside.

Let's say she isn't one yet. They know of each other, but she hasn't been approached with a job offer. Perhaps the past cases could have been something of a 'job interview', see how she handles herself etc. This could be the case that they approach her openly with the offer.

I suppose I could come up with someting, but dealing with that might require more tiem separate form the PCs, figuring out how to handle their risky approach of you, and or course there is the fact that considering that they already have some poeple in AEGIs, would be having the assignements spread out a lot so no one notices or all sent to someone who is with them...

Nitro brightens. "I know Lady Liberty! Worked under her direction on the Cult of the Yellow Sign stuff right after I became a superhero, when the rest of the Freedom League was busy and they found a few other supers to do some stuff for them." What a babe! Did I say that out loud? Nitro glances at Shooting Star. Nope, doesn't look like I said it out loud.

"I don't know if she'd trust my investigative skills, though, if I tell her about a possible plot. There were other supers around to handle the thinking parts last time, so I mostly handled the butt-kicking, the looking good, and media interviews. To each his own, right?"

"I've also met some of the Freedom League right when I started superheroing. If we're going to share information with them tonight, then I should go anyway since I read the original notes and I know a bit about computer security and devices." I doubt they hold me in high regard though. They - hey, did he just talk about a woman - or just anyone considering his taunts to the supervillains - without commenting about her physical appearance?

"I feel like an idiot but does anyone remember if they told us when it's going to be?"

"I didn't see anything indicating a date for the Natural History museum theft. I may have missed something though," Megan replies.

"I don't have any more questions for these guys."

Spreading out the cases and making sure that some of them are sent to agents not on their payroll would make sense and that way, the Aegis agents not on their payroll could be watched and considered for future employment opportunities. Hope would not have a problem working for the Trust, to her it would simply mean access to greater resources, resources that could save innocent lives. She's a practical sort, y'know.

After all, it isn't unusual for two seperate investigators to realize that they are working on the same case and should throw in together in order to solve it.

She could be approached at the docks or some such.

I'll probably be using her post cog ability there.

No problem with the taking the time for this. Heh. Makes it more fun to when they do actually meet, greet, and kick bad-guy butt after the initial "I don't trust you and Can we trust you?" words are said and done with.

I was thinking that the Zephyre identity could be something that the Trust comes up with to protect her further. For the most part, Hope hasn't really shown the villains what she can really do, the Feds valued her investigative skills more than her 'stopping power'. Aegis would be well aware of what she is capable of and the Trust as well. For the most part, the magicks she has used has been subtle and she's refrained from using her flashier magicks, not wanting to attract undue attention to herself.

Hope is walking around the ruins of the OxCorp compound, touching things around the perimeter. The central area is still smoldering and mostly emitting toxic fumes, though Hope can keep the air around her clean. she gets flashes of the battle, but not much extra-useful...perhaps if she was able to actually get in, but the Hazmat crews won't et her in any further, and some of it is still pretty hot.

A man taps her on the shoulder. Strange how she didn't sense him coming. "Agent Winters. We need to talk."

 

[kirinke]

Hope turns around, hiding her own surprise and steps back a little, giving herself room to fight if necessary. She looks the man over and smiles slightly. "Indeed. About what if I may be so bold as to ask?" she asked the strange man dryly.

ooc:
Sense motive 7
Notice 10
Diplomancy 6/10
Bluff 4/8

NM, I misread.

Turning around, she sees who was talking to her. He doesn't flinch as she goes goes into what she suspects he recognizes as a cautiously defensive stance.

A handsome man with dark, curly hear, probably around 30, he wears black cargo pants and a black leather jacket over a dark-colored t-shirt. She notices that he's got a gun in a shoulder holster. He wears black motorcycle gloves that reveal only his fingertips.

"This case. And some others," he pauses.

"Augustus Colson, Darkwater Security. One of my clients had some extensive business with OxCorp, so they need to know how this went down to make sure they aren't at risk, too. I have some information about those mystery heroes that you might find interesting. I'd like to take you somewhere."

Aside: Hehe, "Diplomancy."

So is someone actually going to contact the Freedom League or the Museum? Any actions (Including sleeping at some point, it is the middle of the night by now)
