No, she's just flying through. I don't particularly care if anyone sees.

As Nitro was talking, Optic took a look around, and then when they get back in, backs up and heads down the street, just out of sight, before parkign again.
When Spirit floats out, he sits in the van and gazes around, talking to his new companions.
"Or maybe all the stuff going on IS them getting ready for us, though why we wouldn't be allowed instant access is anybody's guess. I'm taking a look around right now, but I don't se anything suspicious yet... other than those gang-banger guns."

Damn, didn't know skill maxes didn't count stats.. Oh well,

One notice check for outside activity while waiting there, another one after we park, this time using X-ray Vision to get a look inside stuff.
Also, while we were driving away, Optic tries to listen in on their radio frequency to see if they say anything important or about the van.

"Points to Spirit," Viridian notes. "She smelled something from the start. Now it's looking like she was right. Question is, what do we do about it?"

"Lets wait until she gets back at least."

(OOC: Uh, this seems to be Spirit screwing the party over by first not saying anything when she notices the gang signs, now giving away the element of surprise completely by strolling through in the open and alerting everyone there... without first saying anything to anyone. When Matt goes back and edits his post someone will probably figure out a way to affect her despite Insubstantial since she's making a slow pass through. Power Stunts are useful things and Spirit has a total glass jaw (+4 Toughness save) when Insubstantial.

So she might get mauled upon editing. But she's fast so if she doesn't get stunned and have Insubstantial drop, she'll be able to fly out of there the round after being attacked. Also, we've probably hooked the commlinks up by now- is Spirit saying anything while going on this jaunt? Like the gang signs, what she's seeing, etc.?)

"Points to Spirit," Viridian notes. "She smelled something from the start. Now it's looking like she was right. Question is, what do we do about it?"

"Yeah. I think we should get out of the van. If this is a trap or set up, then the van and its gadgets are part of it too. We can stay close enough to spot Spirit when she comes back."

 

[Jemal]

"I don't think the van's a trap.. If it were, with all these explosives in it we'd be dead by now. hell, I could figure out a way to remote detonate all this stuff, and with what they've allready shown, I'm sure they could've set that up. No, something else is going on."

"Points to Spirit," Viridian notes. "She smelled something from the start. Now it's looking like she was right. Question is, what do we do about it?"

"Lets wait until she gets back at least."

Angel answers, "Please no one else go off and do whatever on their own unless it is to flat out leave. I realize no one has even decided yet... But, if we are to be a team, don't we need to act like it? We need to not only cover each others backs, but also to not cause problems going rogue too."

"So with that said, let see what she is up to and see if we can proactively help because we will cover each other, right? And as in any, 'family' the 'yelling' part can take place later (laugh / sigh). Besides (hardening feaures) just about the absolute worst thing you can do when things go 'pear shaped' is to sit around and not be unifed..."

Not sure at all what she is up to, Angel tries to contact spirit via comm/iphone, "Where are you? What is happening? Do you need help?"

OOC @Matt

Did Angel spot anything liek weapons or other stuf with his notice?

Also where is the van now in relationto the complex?

 

[Jemal]

*OOC: Also, DM_Matt pointed out that Spirit didn't make her streetwise check, but I'm pretty sure Optic's take 10 gets that info, which is why I posted it.*

 

[Shayuri]

"Maybe something else is going on...but frankly, I'm not confident enough of that to feel good about sitting on plastic explosive," Viridian replies. "Even if we DO leave the van."

She scoots back towards the equipment cases and starts looking through it for the aforementioned charges...then hesitates.

"I don't suppose any of you guys can see through the cases or knows about bomb disposal? Y'know, just in case it's wired to go when the cases are opened? It'd be kind of embarrassing to blow us all up on our first time out."

 

[Victim]

"I don't think the van's a trap.. If it were, with all these explosives in it we'd be dead by now. hell, I could figure out a way to remote detonate all this stuff, and with what they've allready shown, I'm sure they could've set that up. No, something else is going on."

"I mentioned before you arrived that it'd be much easier to take us out separately, if that was their intention. But what if it's some other kind of trap - something like 'hey, look at all the guns and explosives those superterrorists had in their van when they attacked Oxy Corp for some nefarious purpose.'"

"I'm not trying to accuse anyone, but something doesn't seem right here. It might be best to just try to deal with one issue at a time."

"Or we could try to sneak some people in to see Miss White, if we need more information. I think two of you mentioned the ability to teleport, so you'd have some redundancy for escaping quickly even if one person gets KO'd."

OOC: I'm not sure that Spirit took any of the equipment; contacting her might be difficult.
