Superheroes of the Trust Game Thread

[Elric]

Paging through the documents, you find what could just as easily be a complete narrative of your lives. Report cards, medical records, bank records, news clippings, assorted photos, even files from government agencies, foreign and domestic.

(OOC: Hmm. I'm going to assume that we're only seeing the details of our own lives. Also, if AEGIS hasn't figured out Nitro's real identity, they're in trouble )

Johnny Nitro beams as he takes in his wrestling accomplishments and looks with pride at the copy of his UC Davis diploma (bachelors in Geology and a minor in film!). He also realizes that the paparazzi certainly keep busy... Now time to get to the superhero team initiation rituals- that's sort of like Scientology, right?

Nightweaver frowns looking over the information, . o O {They've certainly gathered a lot of information in a short amount of time} she thinks, follding her arms across her stomach.

Nitro does not have a secret identity. Thus, they do not know his secret identity.

"If they start scanning for Thetans, that's the danger sign," Viridian says to Nitro as she inspects the file. At first it seems horrifying, but then she figures...if they have government cooperation, that explains a lot of the public data. The rest is the result of simple data mining...more advanced than Googling, but the same principle. None of this stuff was really 'private.' Companies, agencies, news articles...it was all out there. Sobering, but not evidence of a massive conspiracy.

She can't help but cough a nervous laugh at the mention of heavier weaponry and C-4.

"Boy Scout motto followers we have here," she quips. "Are we all going?"

Optic realizes that something is trying to remotely access his datalink power, and it does so successfully. A HUD appears on his visor, with the route mapped and a number of menus and other options that he finds he can control directly. It would take a while to figure out everything the system can do, but he realizes that other than the steering wheel and the gas and brake pedals, the entire thing is operated by the HUD on the visor. After a little digging he finds that that is the default setting, and he can control all or none of the vehicles movement with the HUD, and anything in between. He does find that the van is capable of very high speeds for a land vehicle, has limited physical and electronic shielding, and an advanced communications system with encryption, interception, police band scanners, etc. From here can can also alter the opacity of the windows or rolls them down, as well as activate the doors. There seem to be a set of additional advanced features that it is not allowing him access to at the moment.

As he is somewhat knowledgable about the business world, he is aware that OxCorp manufactures and packages pharmaceuticals at that facility, and it has its own private dock.

"I know where we're going. Anybody getting out, or shall we go?" Once all have confirmed, Optic engages the van and begins driving, pulling up the files (what he can) about his companions on his visor while driving.
"Jeez, this thing is built like a tank.. So why'd you decide to join up?" He says to whoever happens to be closest.

Angel replies, "I dost not think we have Optic. I think we are all willing to listen to what they are pitching though, or we would not be here. Did you already join?"


[Edited to refelct Elric's comment above... When I re-read the post he is probably correct. I will assume since Angel was a 'statue' for the last several thousand years or so, that the records pick up when he came back into play/reliably recorded history as it were... If not let me know exactly how far they go back...

 

[Elric]

(Presumably, is this correct DM_Matt?) Angel sighs mentaly in relief and thinks to himself *There records don't go back that far on him. Nor do they mention his secret identity. Hmm.. Wait! They just said they would share what they know... If they know his secret identity and its not in the files. Then apprently the files do not tell _everything_ now do they...*

[OOC: I don't think so. The AEGIS files (those are the files from the government organization) are what doesn't mention his secret identity. They are sharing your AEGIS (government) file with you, since they have access to it. Presumably the files from the Trust do mention your secret identity, if you have one.]

 

[Victim]

Well, I knew only the thinnest of boundaries protected my civilian ID - there's too much information in my medical history for any lasting secrets. The biggest surprise is that AEGIS doesn't know - even if they weren't trying to dig up secret IDs, you'd think that their agents would figure it accidently. Hmm, maybe one did, and then didn't record it in the file. Megan hurriedly closes the files with old report cards and medical records, only reading the agency reports.

"I'm still in, so far." Even if I did just nearly crash into a bunch of heavy weapons and explosives. Not sure how C4 counts as a utility device. You know, guns as secret ID preserving weapon makes some sense. All this secret agent stuff is somewhat offputting, but I think I've done enough nothing.

Taking up the iPhone, Megan comments idly, "I've never had a cellphone before."

Further paging through the records finally reveals some memos on you guys, tracking how they found out secret identities. Usually, they managed to follow you undetected from crime scenes, either directly or electronically. In other cases, they managed to use fingerprints and DNA to confirm suspicions garnered from collection of photos and other documentary evidence. All-in-all, it was pretty standard, albeit high-tech, detective work. The names of the writers of the memos are removed, but they are all addressed to an "Alpha Black" and CC'd to an "Alpha Grey" and "Alpha White." There is also mention of you being potentials for something called "Sigma Team."

Angel: They know about the circumstances of your awakening, and have some idea of how you got there, pieced together from myth.

Elric: You are correct. The not listing secret identities thing refers only to the AEGIS files.

Optic: When you try to access other people's files, and the Trust network in general, you get a message saying "Access Denied. User Level "Prospective" Not Authorized."
