Superheroes of the Trust Game Thread

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."

"Who would your clients be?" she waved her hand at the destruction. "Only a fool would go with a total stranger, especially in light of this," she said, calmly, waiting for his next move.

ooc:
Would Aegis agents have some sort of transponder or tracking device on their persons in case of kidnapping or getting into something they can't handle?

Also, what would she know about Darkwater Security?

"Geldar Pharmaceuticals. They were codeveloping some sort of big new medicine with OxCorp. I don't blame you for worrying, but I have a feeling you can take care of yourself. I sense you are the sort who is never truly unarmed."

They have such technology, but agents do not ordinarily have such things.

Also, what would she know about Darkwater Security?

Its a very large security consulting firm (some would call them mercenaries, at least regarding some of their functions), that works primarily for the US government and US-based multinational corporations.

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)

(OOC - Hee...Patience, GM. Not all of us are awake that early on Sundays. )

Viridian nods at Megan. "Okay...why don't you and Nitro start with Freedom League then? I'll try to get the time out of our boys, and contact the museum."

She clicks the mic on and asks Numero Uno first, then Sheik, "What do you know about the attack on the museum? Tell me everything you can remember."

As she listens to their responses, she looks up the phone number for the museum's office and gets ready to call them.

Heh, sorry, I'm typically not either.

As soon as it is feasible, Hope is going to request a transponder or tracking device that she can activate/deactivate herself. If it is in character for her to do so and appropriate. I'm thinking that anything involving this White Knight dude is gonna be way dangerous, so that sort of thing would be common sense for a woman like her.

Sorry about the delay. Compy problems abound Grr.

IC
Hope shifted subtly, coming out of the instinctive defensive stance. Only a well trained eye would see that she is still on guard. "Information is always good, especially when dealing with masked supers and their requisite villians." Hope quipped. "Alright then. Let's go see your employers Mr. Colson." she said, letting an unspoken warning creep into her tone. If it was a trap, she wouldn't hold back.

"Great. I hope you don't mind riding on the back of my bike," he says, as he leads her to a very fancy-looking motorcycle. The front and a good bit of its workings are covered, but she spots that there appear to be compartments in the space between for something.

He offer her a helmet, and starts driving.

 

[kirinke]

Hope laughed as she took the proffered helmet. "Nice, bike," she commented as she hopped on behind him.

"Thanks. Unfortunately, its a company car."


"Augustus" takes Hope to a nearby apartment building, parking his bike alongside. He waves his hand in front of a side door, and Hope sees his fingertips spark a little. She hears a click as the magnetic lock releases, and he opens the door for her. He leads her up a couple floors, and knocks on the door of a unit. After a few seconds, it opens. There is no furniture in the room. it is apparently an empty unit. Standing in it, however, is an attractive woman in a white dress and long, red hair, and Special Agent Henry Dortmund of the FBI, the man who originally trained her.

 

[kirinke]

"Henry?" Hope questioned, completly nonplussed by seeing him again. "Care to tell me what's going on?" she asked. "And why all the cloak and dagger games? You could have approached me directly."

"I'm sorry about the weirdness, but the matter was beyond my control. These folks here don't like people explaining what's going on outside of a controlled environment. As the one who initiated you into the secrets of your powers, it is only fitting that I am the one to initiate you into the secrets of your destiny. Hope, meet Miss White and Mr. Black. They represent the Trust, an organization that I too am affiliated with, and have been for many years. Funded by a number of wealthy, community-minded individuals, who have no knowledge of the Trust's day ot day operations, and contract only through our leader, Mr. Grey, the Trust organizes, equips, trains, and provides intelligence for a number of superteams worldwide. One source of this intelligence is allies in governments. Without the right cooperation, intelligence gathering becomes difficult and the authorities might become obstacles regarding certain operations. That's where you come in. They are in need of another operative within the Freedom City branch of AEGIS. You will be assigned cases that a newly-formed Trust Superteam is working on, and both assist them and keep AEGIS from hindering their activities."
