Superheroes of the Trust Game Thread

[DM_Matt]

She considers again. They don't give off the pompous, better than thou attitude that most supervillains seem to be fond of and most of the vibes they're giving off says that they're okay. Her old teacher is a big plus in their favor as well. "Alright. I'm in," she agreed.

"Very well then. When there is more time we can take you to see our facilities. For now, though, take this (She hands Hope what looks like an iPhone). This will replace your phone. It has will respond to two numbers. One your old one, one a special communications channel for trust business. It also has a number of extra features built in, including access to some of our secure databases and a whole lot more processing power than the device it appears to be. For now, keep investigating, and we will contact you when our team takes its next steps. Do not file any official reports yet on this matter. We are still working up a cover story."

Hope pockets the phone and grins wryly. "I think that not telling my superiors about this is a good idea indeed. They'd lock me up either in a mental facility or a jail cell depending on their moods. I'd rather not experience either," she chuckled. "Flying high on Thorazine is not my idea of how to spend a Saturday night."

Mr. Blue is waiting for you. He says: "At least until the teleporters are installed, you'll have to travel the old fashioned way...well, not exactly old fashioned, more like less futuristic...You can take one of the planes over there. They are very fast and have great communications, some modest shield capability, weapons, and stealth. We have a hanger at Jameson Airport on the Northern edge of Freedom City. There are some ground vehicles, supplies, and computers. You can use it as a temporary forward base of sorts there Some among you can fly a plane, right?"

"I have no idea if any of us knows how to fly aircraft. I certainly can't." Shooting Star answers, looking towards the hanger area dubiously. We can't just use the way we came here? I guess Miss White must be busy or something. But I don't want to ride in a flying prison that will drag me to a firey doom if it breaks. One plane trip was enough for my life. "Maybe I should just get someone on our team to do a teleport."

Megan takes out her new phone. Before calling anyone, she quickly asks, "How fast is very fast, anyway? I think I'm pretty quick in the air." Don't be faster than me.

As they head down the hallway, Optic ponders what to do about Uno and Sheik "Anybody else think we should get that elixir and let Uno go? Between our.. 'intensity'... and Viridian's Magic, I think it's safe." He yawns, shaking his head *Man I gotta get some sleep*

At the Hangar : "I like to keep up to speed on pretty much everything, so that doesn't leave much time for advanced classes, but I can fly... or at least, I can take off and land without crashing."(*jack of all trades*) Optic chuckles. "I say we head home for the night. I've gotta get some rest and take care of a few civillian business matters. After that, I'd be more than willing to stake out the warehouse. As you can imagine, scouting's one of my specialties. So, as far as I understand it, Nitro and Star are going to talk to the League, and tommorow morning I'll start scoping the place out with whoever wants to help. I think our teleporters should know how to find the rest of us in case we need to assemble on the double, and one of you should probably be on the stake-out with me. A couple quick BAMFFs and we're all ready to go."

Meanwhile, he's datalinked to the internet via his phone and is checking the stock prices on Ox-Corp after the 'incident'...

Nitro pulls out his old cellphone, which he's keeping on him until he (read: someone else) can figure out how to transfer the phone numbers to the new cell phone. He pulls up the number Lady Liberty gave him for the Freedom League and dials it on the new phone.

Conveniently enough, Lady Liberty answers-presumably the Freedom League has been alerted by the events of the evening. "Hey Lady Liberty, this is Johnny Nitro! Now, I know you thought I'd never amount to anything as far as detective work goes, but have I got a scoop for you."

Nitro proceeds to explain the potential attack on Freedom League headquarters, potential attack on the Museum of Natural History and a sketch of the events of the evening and the heroic deeds he performed. Lady Liberty has to cut him off when he goes into a 2-minute version of how he obliterated Numero Uno in a flurry of awesomely terrific moves. But by the end, he's pretty much explained what the heroes think they know so far. Whether she believes him is another question. It's Johnny Nitro- not the sharpest tool in the shed, though fortunately very hard to hurt with sharp tools that are found in sheds.

Hope looks at the trio. "It's late, I'm not going to be able to get much more out of the OxCorp docks, at least not until Hazmat leaves. It's still pretty hot in there." she looks at them. "You're aware that I'm a postcog right?" she nods to Henry, who taught her most of everything she knows about her abilities. "If I can get in there further, handle some of the stuff Barrington or his cronies used, I might be able to get more information." she shrugged ruefully. "Maybe. It's not one of my more reliable gifts."

"Do you have any information on these guys? What they may be planning? Other than the general lowering of the local real estate values I mean."

Mr. Blue says "Don't worry, its got a pretty advanced flight computer. It can interface with your visor, so you'll be able to fly it quite easily."

Then to Megan: "These jets top out around Mach 2.5"

 

[Victim]

"Yeah, I was going to call it a night once we pass this information off. Besides being tired, I could reallly use a shower; I'm yucky from my own blood. We can look at those holo-projectors tommorrow afternoon. Should we meet back in this base, by museum, or what? You could just leave me a message."

She replies to Mr. Blue: "2.5? That's amazing for a transport type plane, right? About jet fighter speed?" But not as fast as me, she thinks, smiling. Probably a bit faster on a long trip though, since it could maintain that speed.

 

[Jemal]

"that's about 2,000 Miles per hour." Optic translates for those who need it, then looks over at Star "We'll have to race sometime... How fast DO you go?"

 

[Victim]

"that's about 2,000 Miles per hour." Optic translates for those who need it, then looks over at Star "We'll have to race sometime... How fast DO you go?"

"Well, the exact rate in miles per hour varies with altitude. Ideal cruising height for a jet isn't likely to be sea level, so Mach 1 would be a bit slower up there. But since you're rounding off at thousands, I guess it doesn't make much of a difference." Megan explains.

"As far as my abilities, apparently I've been clocked at around 4000. Once I break the sound barrier, however, I can't really get a good sense of my speed since the air pressure feels different. So those Navy people could have been messing with me." Despite her admission of uncertainty, Megan's attitude is confident and proud.
