Superheroes of the Trust Game Thread

[DM_Matt]

Megan pulls out her phone and reviews the notes she took last night - it beats fidgeting nervously in the company of so many famous and imposing individuals. Then Nitro mentions her name. What? Me? I thought you said you were good at talking?! Umm. Umm. Say something.

"I didn't see anything indicating when they were planning to act. As Nitro mentioned, the actions of White Knight or his allies might be included in their plan, so that might give away when they'll act. Also, the name of the plan - oops, the myth doesn't exactly present Daedalus in a positive light. This might be awkward. But too late now, I guess. - suggests that some sort of former associate of yours might be involved." She looks up at Daedalus. "So maybe that Japanese prodigy..."

"Yes, that very well could be. Whoever this is seems to especially know some of my own proprietary technologies...and that rank, arrogant amateur does think he's better than me, so I could see him using so boastful a name for a plan...and one that takes advantage of those nasty, false rumors they spread about me way back when."

Meanwhile, Lady Liberty puts her hand on her ear. She's probably getting a comm. After a moment, she turns to the others and says "Its like a worldwide terrorist festival today. Now its the Philippines. Siren's on it. "

"Ok, where do you want me to take this stuff now that I'm through with it? I can't exactly take it with me back to the office, that would mean way to many uncomfortable questions..." she asked and presuming that they tell her where to stow it, she hangs up and leans back in her chair, rubbing her temples in frustration.

She looked at her notes, remembering the visions that had danced in her head and grabbed her laptop, accessing the Aegis network from that secure piece of machinery. "When in doubt. Follow the money. Let's see if Barrington's dirty dollars lead back to Oxcorp." she muttered and began the trace. If she finds enough evidence, she will call the Trust back and see if she should involve Aegis or the Feds in a raid on OxCorp, which would include the executives homes and personal accounts.

She hopes they'll let her. She's in a snarly enough mood that ruining some suit's day would brighten hers up considerably.

She can tie OxCorp to Cormerant Pharma and to the Shiek, as well as to the drug deal (sufficient evidence survived the blast. some further research shows that the accounts form which Barrington was paying those terrorist groups out of also transfered some money to and from the Cormerant Pharma accounts.

The Trust folks tell her that they will forge financial documents to show what she said and she can say she found them at the scene. She'll just have to slip them into the file, which will be easy enough.

She gets some time to poke around, but doesnt find much more of interest, other than some suspicious conversations between the CEO and others that seem ot tie them to the serum.

"Alright, this is what I got so far. I think it's enough for a warrent, so I'm going to push for that. If nothing else, we can snarl up Barrington's plans here, or delay them enough so that we can have more time to prepare for whatever his master plan is.... God that sounds so cheesy." she mutters to herself, probably much to the guy on the other end of the line's amusement. "Besides, these Oxcorp guys are seriously irritating me. I haven't ruined anyone's day in a coupla weeks."

What next, are they gonna stuff me into a superhero costume? I hate spandex! I mean even being saddled with a handle like the Saint is bad enough...

In the meantime, she's also going to push a warrent in so she can freeze most of the accounts of those front companies/charities, leaving only one or two open, that way they can have an easier time of tracking the money, thereby maybe working their way to an actual group of people they can arrest (Laymen's terms.... I'm sure she knows the proper proceedure of handling something like that and the reasons why....)

She taps her fingers on the desk, knowing quite well that she's going to piss someone quite powerful off with these actions and speaks to the guy into the phone.

"Listen, could you provide me with a transponder or tracking device? Something innocious enough that no one will look twice at it and maybe one that is obvious." she pauses as the guy asks why. "I'm not stupid, once this ball starts rolling I'm probably going to piss someone off, probably enough that he/she or it will grab me in order to make me shut up and stop the inquiry. It would be nice to have a way for you guys to track me so I don't wind up dead or worse."

She lets that hang. If the guy on the other end has been in the superhero business long, he'd know that there were much worse things than simply dying and these kind of supervillians probably viewed those worse things as something of a hobby.

Amanda wanders into the Perian exhibition wing (she's wearing a red blouse and white skirt, hair pulled back) looking at this and that, as she scans faces. . o O {We're all in our identies here. I saw Optic's face but...} she moves toward the Eye, reading over the inscription she steals a glance at Thessily and Jack . o O {She looks famillar...or have I just seen her on campus? No...maybe? Well it's worth a shot...}

She moves over to Thessily, "Are you taking Professor White's Intro to Theology course as well? I heard after the next quiz she has goes into native Western beliefs starting with the Aztecs. she rolls her eyes, "It'd be half interesting if didn't bring up things like demons and stuff, you know?"

[Victim]

Dang, I was hoping he'd mention that kid's name. What was it? - I don't think he's really a kid anymore, either. Oh shoot. "I have a question about one of White Knight's associates. One of my coworkers seemed quite certain that the Night Warrior had been killed or destroyed already. Is it still around somehow?"

Hmm, what should we do now? I passed on the information, are we done now? Not much idea besides where to go from here though, besides waiting and watching - mostly at the museum.

 

[Shayuri]

Thessaly glances at her, then recognizes the voice and nods with a smile.

"I'm in her 301 class," she corrects. "But yeah, theology's just not theology without the monsters."

She drops her voice a bit and adds, "And if this thing really does what it's supposed to, it's either got something that protects it from being sensed, or this isn't the real one."

 

[Raylis]

"I guess."

In a more hushed voice, "Seems more 'Brotherhood of the Yellow Sign then widespread lycanthropy."

Raven says "Last time I heard, he's alive. His last confirmed kill was about a four months ago."
