Superheroes of the Trust Game Thread

[Victim]

"I guess that's our ride," Megan says to Nitro. She boards the helicopter and sits down. "A prison break? At Blackstone? What happened? What about the Freedom League?" she asks. Megan turns from an examination of her injuries back to Hope: "I don't think I caught your name." Hmm, Nightweaver got taken out again too.

Hope shook herself and grinned, sheepishly. "Sorry. Name's Hope Winters, I work for Aegis. No, there isn't a prison break. Thank god." she flipped open her badge again, letting the newcomers take a look for themselves.

"I've been helping the Trust investigate Barrington and his connection to Oxcorp amongst other things." her grin faded. "If we want answers, we should start there." she looked grim. "I was waiting for a warrent so I could search the place."

Hope pocketed the badge after they had their looksee. "If you're nice and don't get yourself killed today, I think I can finagle a way to include you in the search." she quipped.

Megan turns from an examination of her injuries back to Hope: "I don't think I caught your name." Hmm, Nightweaver got taken out again too.

Red looks over Megan's injuries (she's actually still staggered), does the follow the light pen test, and hands her a big bag of ice. "Use this. You'll be OK. I'd suggest taking it easy for a day or so, but i seriously doubt you would...so just try not to get bashed on the head again in the near future, alright?"

AEGIS? "So we're not in any sort of trouble then?" she aks, not giving Hope's badge more than a glance. Should I introduce myself too? I guess someone with AEGIS and working with the Trust would already know who I am though. "Sorry, I must have mis-heard you about the prison break," Megan gestures upwards to the rotors. Shooting Star quickly summarizes the results of last night's investigations: "Barrington wasn't really connected to Oxcorp. He and Control Freak were connected to the plant guy drug lord, who was working with the CEO/gang leader. Neither of them knew what Barrington was planning."

To Red: "I don't TRY to take head injuries. I will try to get some some rest though; a night's sleep after minor stuff like this up usually takes care of everything."

(Curses, I forgot that staggered comes with KO.)

 

[kirinke]

Hope smiled at the young super hero's trepidation at the mention of Ageis. "No, you're not in trouble, at least, not that I know of."



When Shooting Star mentioned Barrington and Oxcorp, she shook her head in negation. "Not according to my findings and my suspicions Shooting Star," she says and gives them the details she found.

When she finished, she leaned back again. "The connection is there, through the money transfers. It all comes back to Barrington and whatever he's planning, which is probably going to cost alot of lives. This is just the beginning and it's up to us to stop him."

For Everyone

OxCorp and its CEO on the other hand, do have a lot of suspicious offshore bank accounts and involvement with what looks like a shell company called Cormorant Pharmaceuticals, based in the Urkaine, which does not seem to make any actual products, and OLM, a Malaysian company that makes medical opiates but is known to be associated with Central Asian drug cartels. It is likely that OxCorp and its CEO were paid quite a bit of money by the Shiek through phony business deal with OLM.

She sees images of financial transactions traveling through the satellite dish. Barrington is accessing an account belonging to JMX International, and transferring large sums of money to "Philippines Community Partnerships" "Holy Land Charities," "Beirut Development Associates," "Cabeza Pharmaceuticals," and "Children's Charities of Sri Lanka."

Holy Land Charities was shut down in the United States as a front for Hamas, and the FBI database indicates that Philippines Community Partnerships is a front for the New People's Army, a violent communist organization. The Trust database additionally associates "Children's Charities of Sri Lanka" with the Liberation Tigers of Tamil, a Tamilese nationalist terrorist group, identifies Beirut Development Associates an account for Hezbollah, and after the Trust looks into it, that "Cabeza Pharmaceuticals" is associated both with Columbian drug cartels and the Marxist guerilla organization FARC. It seems Barrington was wiring money to five different terrorist groups at once, and while Hamas and Hezbollah are allied with each other and his associates in Iran, the other three are completely different geographically and ideologically.

"Our team seems to have a problem with property damage so far," she admits. "That entire Oxy place was basically leveled."

Megan just shakes her head at Hope's explanation. "I can't even really keep my family's finances straight, much less sort through the web of money funding international terrorism. We talked to the CEO and his information was pretty reliable." she adds with a look to Viridian.

"Lady Liberty mentioned that the Freedom League was having lots of trouble with terrorist that day. That's why their people were really spread out - and thus vulnerable to ambush and then the attack on the building. So hopefully Barrington was just funding all that to create a diversion. I'm not sure what actually happened with the attack though." 'Cause I was knocked out. He didn't kill me though. I thought he was attacking to kill before.

"It was as reliable as he knew how to make it," Viridian confirms. "That doesn't necessarily mean he know the whole story. In fact, we know for a fact he didn't."

"And the property damage wasn't really our fault. They were the ones shooting rocket launchers all over the place, and strafing the building with a jet fighter."

"Where are we going?" Amanda asks, pulling off the mask, "Unless it's back to the trust I'll need to shadow walk back to my place...I don'thavemycostumewithme

(Your Darkness Control got Drained, so you can't use it for a few hours)

Mr. Black says "No Shadow Walking for you. Apparently Faust shut that down for a while. It looks like we'll have to go back there to regroup, anyway....and to figure out how to fix those life drains. Here, lets get you off the floor," he says pulling her up and pointing her to an empty seat.

Amanda's goes wide eyed for a moment at Black's words, then moves into the empty seat. "What about the speedster? The Eye of Hell was taken, and he's the only person that would have been able to grab it without me seeing it...'
