Superheroes of the Trust Game Thread

[Victim]

Viridian smiles nostalgically. "Back in high school, believe it or not. It was just easy stuff though. Stopping muggings, breaking up fights, that kind of thing. The first time I actually came across a super, he almost killed me."

At that, her smile fades.

"After that, I took a hiatus... Had some personal problems, learned a few more spells...moved out here." She shrugs.

"Where were you interning?"

"Oh? I pretty much only try to go against people with powers - either normally, or with advanced devices or those stupid temporary booster drugs. Most of the stuff I've dealt with was people on the drugs though. Fighting some street criminal with an ordinary gun just felt wrong. I'm not supposed to use my powers on normal people - it's not the right level of force for the job. I still almost died in first fight though."

"So I guess your high school years were pretty interesting then. So you came to Freedom City for college? Where do you go?" I wonder what she means by personal problems? I guess if she wanted to talk about them she would - if I try to ask I'll probably say the wrong thing.

Megan shrugs, "The interview was at ASTRO Labs, but I didn't get the position. It was sort of a stretch anyway, and I'm sure lots of really smart people want to work there too."

Her stomach growls. "Do you want to get something to eat here instead staying of my room? I'll just need a few minutes to clean up." (Plus we should go to a place with the TV on.)

Nitro is pissed.

“The night I first met Barrington, one of my teammates had gone ahead to scout. Barrington spotted her and almost killed her with his laser. That was the last we saw of her. When we went to rescue her, we found her dead, tied her to a chair and burned to death. By Barrington’s laser. She didn’t tell him what he wanted to know and so he killed her.

Don’t let a bunch of faux-populism fool you. The man is a homicidal maniac bent on world-domination. History shows that those who in their own minds ‘love humanity’ but care nothing about killing untold numbers of innocent people have a track record of nothing but misery and sorrow.

Has Barrington been unveiling aid to the world for decades in the form of super-technology? Any businesses designed to mass-produce technology that would improve people’s lives? No. Has Barrington been going around for decades killing untold numbers of people while seeking to amass greater personal power? Yes.

Barrington was once known as the Nazi super Krieglock. I’m sure he was just doing that to ‘get more technology to help make the world a better place.’

Can we defeat him? Yes, we can. Will we defeat him? Yes, we will. Citizens of Freedom City, know hope—I promise you that this man’s evil will soon come to an end."

"Wow. ladies and gentlemen, that is some -surprising- oratory skill from Johnny Nitro. Before we go to reaction from some others, how do your plans change in light of this new information?"


Meanwhile, at the base, everyone is paged to come watch the speech in the central room of your wing. Black is there too, but white isn't. "Uh-oh," Black says "I think I know that big guy behind him, even through the mask. I think thats Red Dawn, national hero of China. He has fire and radiation powers and can turn into a dragon. If he -- and China -- are with Barrington, this is a big, big, problem."

"When I'm on duty I tend to get very focused on the job at hand." she grinned a little. "I think my team mates only see me as the uber-bitch weather witch because they've only dealt with me while on duty. We really haven't had time to get to know one another or form any bonds of trust." she winced a little. "Cheesy, but it's true."

Saving the world from a madman tends to do that. she thought wryly.

"Nah you are the first person I have met here that has spent time talking to me, but then I guess I sort of showed up at a pretty tense time," Apollo smirks.

"So maybe we should find Star and see if we can't cheer her up?" he asks.

Hope is about to respond when they are called to the central room of their wing. Her face is expressionless as they watch what unfolds. Her hands clench a little as Mr. Black tells them about Red Dawn. "China has always been ready and eager to expand their territories." she said quietly. "This time though, they've gotten too greedy. Barrington isn't going to share with anyone." she glanced at the others.

"Looks like playtime is over,"

Knowing that the others will obviously take care of the tv watching, Wren moves to the cell that the mobster occupies, and turns on the transparency. "So, looks like death isn't so bad, huh? Now, what role do you play in all of this?"

Wren will also wonder if, as they should, the Trust has audio and visual feedback of all interrogations here in these cells. If so, then he would be most interested in learning what conversation took place here. Something isn't right, gut feeling...

"Villainy is such a buzzkill," Apollo quips.

The computer displays the following "Sorry, You Do Not Have Clearance To Interrogate This Prisoner" and the wall stays black.

Wren will simply call into Ms. White, hoping her com link is active. "There's a prisoner here, supposedly killed by lycanthropes. What's the story on him?"

Otherwise, it's off the red leather girl, as he tries to be as diplomatic as possible. "Working with Asad, huh? Doesn't look to be such a good thing for you. So, what can you tell me of Barrington and Asad? What was Fine working on with you and Asad?"

"Do you want to get something to eat here instead staying of my room? I'll just need a few minutes to clean up." (Plus we should go to a place with the TV on.)

Viridian nods. "Sure, sounds good. I'll wait right outside."

She gets up and goes out the door to wait.
