Since Hope can manipulate electricity through her lightening throwing ability, would it be within the realm of a Hero point for her to spend it on an EPM right before battle? Concentrated on the ship?

Also, through the Ritual feat, would it be possible for Hope with Viridians help to devise as spell that would allow them to look in on the ship, so they can get a better idea of what to plan? Something like ESP, but without the need for bits and pieces of the person/thing being scrying on?

The ship is protected against magic, and EMP is too big a stretch for her powers. Her power is weather, not electricity. Lightning is one step away from pure weather control, so thats OK, but EMP isn't a naturally-occurring weather phenomenon, but rather a step away from raw electricity, so she cant do it. She might be able to talk Black into coming along, though, as he COULD stunt that (or even just plain do it), being an electrical controller.

"If there's not much other traffic in the area, then maybe creating rain or a storm would increase the load on the cloaking device and make the boat easier to detect," Megan suggests.

"So the opposition is just people with high tech weapons? What about armor?" I can try shooting their guns.

"Most if not all will have standard body armor. There may be some with more exotic technology, but nothing truly weird. Voderac is pretty midrange as far as hi-tech arms dealers go, which is why the Foundry sent Barrington to him for the orders that were not high-tech enough to be the kind of thing they do. Voderac can get very large quantities and a very wide variety of midrange arms, though, and can provide significant mission consulting. Most arms dealers don't want to know what their products are being used for, but Voderac, he's full service."

"Mission consulting? So he's some kind of tactical expert?"

Hope looked at Black. "Back when we first met, you did something with electricity to get that door open. Are you an electrical controller?" she asked. "If so, can you create EPM's?"

"Do you mean Electro Magnetic Pulses? EMP's? If so, it's a good idea. Only thing wrong with that would be it would affect the computers we are trying to gain information from. Short of removing the hard drives, we would shoot ourselves in the foot before we had a chance to gain the information."

"Mr. Black, it might be a good idea if you came with us. While I can generate lightening, my main powers are magic and weather control, not electricity." she looked at the others.

"Alright. I can use my weather control powers to generate high winds, rain and hail, hampering movement and hopefully damaging the ship, because with the high winds, that'll also create high waves as well." Hope nodded and considered the problem of the ship itself.

"Basically, the general plan is going to be a quick and brutal attack on the ship. Part of the group will concentrate on generating as much mayhem and confusion as they can, while the others use the distraction to get Voderac and the information off the ship's computers." she leaned forward. "That means we'll need someone with teleportation powers as well as computer skills in the search and seize group."

"So. I'm thinking that Shooting Star, Viridian, Nightweaver and Nitro should be part of the search and seize group, because Star has the computer skills to get the information from the ship's computers, Viridian and Nightweaver both can teleport Voderac out once they get their hands on him and Nitro for back-up. If you can, find and grab the cloaking device. The rest of us will concentrate on the distraction and destruction side of things,"

She looked thoughtful. "Once we get Voderac and the files from the computer, we might be able to take the ship rather than scuttle it. That's where the EMP might come in handy. Fry the instrumentations, and we can seize everything. I'm sure he has more information hidden aboard it, rather than on the computers themselves,"

"Having to fight them while you kick up a storm will impede us just as much as them. I was thinking something more subtle. If we could get a basic diagram of that type of ship, I can start sectioning off different parts of the ship, with invisible walls. That way, we can isolate when and where we take on whomever is on that ship. I can keep on creating these walls, stacking them with each other, and even making it literally impossible for them to get to us. As for us moving through them, I should be able to handle that as well. Perhaps making them not so much invisible, it would allow Nightweaver the chance to teleport past them, or for me to shape them however I see fit. Anyone else have any ideas that we might be overlooking?"

Black reiterates "Unfortunately, all we know is that its a highly-customized freighter. We won't be able to determine the layout until we get there.

I agree that the storm wont help much. It might strain the cloaking field, but we can penetrate it anyway, and a storm will be worse for flyers than massive ships. Hmmmm, hold up, thinking about scheduling. Yeah, I can come with. I'll do some work on the plane. I don't think we should determine how to split until we know what we're up against...And we won't know that until we get on the ship. I certainly can disable much of the ship's electronics, but that also might mean that some doors or lights wont work. I guess Nitro and Nightweaver can handle those problems, though. We should get going. The plane is fueled up and waiting."
