Superheroes of the Trust Game Thread

ooc:
I assume Hope is at the docks right? With either Henry or Mr. Black I suspect the former....
She also makes a search for Operation Perdix. She can only assume that it's either a villianous plan or something the government is working on. Something in the black.

No record of an Operation Perdix, though you find that it is the genus for partridges and the name of an apprentice of Daedalus who showed him up.

Hope grimances as she read the nasty little story about Deadelus and Perdix and looks at the rest of the combined data. "AEGIS. They could be targeting AEGIS. We're a sister organization to the FBI. We have the kind of security that Control freak would need highly specialized gear to bypass." she said softly. "They could also have multiple targets. The museum, Freedom hall. AEGIS. Sorrows come in three."

"Don't worry about it." Optic smiles warmly at Viridian "I haven't been too helpful, what with my... lack of mystical knowledge. It just creeps me out not knowing how something works. I understand you do, and that it's second nature to you, but I'm a very technological person." He shrugs and heads for the jet. "That having been said, I HAVE to try this new toy out. TTYL."

Optic then heads home for a good long.. er, I guess a nice short nap.

(Was there a cloaking device or something on my new ship, or do I have to find a nice parking spot in the Op-Tec grounds?)

In the morning, around 10 AM, Optic grumbles his way out of bed and quickly gets ready, using his Trust commlink to make sure everybody else is ready to go.

The ships does not have a cloaking device (though it is stealthy). You don't need to park it at Op-Tec though. The Trust has a hanger at Jameson Airport, just North of the city. There is a good selection of ground vehicles stored there, including the van you guys used previously, and other cars and motorcycles. Optic probably lives relatively close to there, as the Northern part of the city houses most of the high-tech industry and some expensive suburbs where Optic would likely live.

After a few hours sleep and a blistering hot shower, followed by coffee, Hope almost feels human again. She dresses quickly and grabs a bagel and coffee on the way out. She makes it to the docks, hoping to be able to get in further, mostly by being really rude and or pleading or a combination of the two.... (whichever works with what hazmat or arson investigator guy). If she does manage to get in further, she'll do a reading as she waits for Mr. Black to show up with whatever items they managed to secure for her to read and hopefully get data on. (she called up the trust to tell them where she'd be.). When he gets there, she'll also give him what she found on Oxcorp.

"Yes, you don't have to worry Lindsey I'll be there on Saturday. What, no not now I have this museum thing. No, no, you don't need to come it's just a research report on this exhibit. Yes, I'm sure. Okay. Saturday night, after practice. Yes for the thousandth time, I'll be there. Amanda says the next day, on the phone, closing the device and putting it back in her purse as she exits the Freedom University gym at quarter to 11 the next day.

She pauses under the shadow of a tree, pretending to tie her shoe as she gives the area a quick glance to make sure no one is paying particular attention to her. A moment later she's across town near the Museum of Natural History. She blends into the shadow and activates the trust comm link, "Nightweaver reporting in. Anyone have any night revelations about what could be the target at the Muesem?"

(You guys seem to have hit a dead end regarding meeting in the morning, and there really is no need to, so...)

Optic and Nightweaver make their way to the Hunter Museum of Natural History in the Northwest part of Downtown Freedom City. Tourists are going in and out pretty steadily, but outside there is no sign of evil supers. Are you going in or staking it out?

Nitro and Shooting Star meanwhile go to Freedom Hall. It is a four-story building that looks kind of like a ziggurat, designed and built by Daedalus. The top floor is known to be a hanger for their space-planes and their short-range gravitic-drive-based vehicles. The bottom floor is opened to the public, and includes meeting rooms and a museum. The contents of the other floors are not known. In the lobby, a receptionist greets you. "Good morning, friends. I am Cynthia. How can I help you."

So who does Viridian join?

Hope gets back to the docks, and haggles with the hazmat folks. She gets a call on her Trust line. A male voice says "Mr. Black had other business to attend to. This is Beta Lilac 3. There is a mailbox in front of the Starbase Coffee on 1st and Raymond (a few blocks away). There is a box for you inside it (he gives dimensions). It should be the only one of its size in there. Use your powers to retrieve it. It will have everything we have for you to scan."

 

[kirinke]

"Alright, I'm sending you everything I managed to dig up on Oxcorp." she punches a few numbers and sends the saved information, along with her own notes and theories (excluding her search on Darkwater and Mr. Black, she figures they don't need that particular bit of information). "It's not pretty. I'll get back with you after I've done the scan and if I get anything useful from the items."

She flicks the phone off and pockets it and turns back to her car and drives to the mailbox, then approaches the mailbox, making sure that no one was around. When she was relatively certain that she wouldn't be casually observed, she summons up that special otherness, the power that links her to the winds of nature.

Her hair bleeds to the white of a cloud, wind whipping up around her in a very localized whirlwind (hands of air). The lock springs open and she retrieves the items, before closing the mailbox back up. She gets back into her car and returns either to her house or the office (whichever is closer), figuring that she needed someplace safe and quiet in order to do the scan.

Once there. She does just that.

In the lobby, a receptionist greets you. "Good morning, friends. I am Cynthia. How can I help you."

I can't believe it. I was here on a few occasions, a little under 6 months ago and she doesn't even recognize me! She was here every time I came! Should I be wearing the feather boa around more often so I have a more distinctive look?

"I'm Johnny Nitro. The pro wrestler turned superhero. I was here a few times not too long ago when Lady Liberty was recruiting superheroes to help with Cult of the Yellow Sign stuff. You get hit on the head often in this line of duty? Or did the Starbase Coffee down the street get closed due to some supervillainous event?"

Even Johnny Nitro knows that no Starbase Coffee in Freedom City has ever gone out of business without a supernatural catastrophe being involved.

"Well, now I'm back to see Lady Liberty again on superhero related business- she's expecting us at 11 am." An inasp... unausp... whatever, a bad beginning
