Superheroes of the Trust Game Thread

[Victim]

"Look-" It's not just about you protecting people - it's about protecting people from you. And I'm pretty sure those anti-superhero laws were repealed like 10 years ago. At least.

Black says "Well it seems that most of you want to try to communicate first. Odds are it shouldn't be too risky. We lose surprise, but we have a lot of firepower to make up for it if worse comes to worse."

D'Antoni announces "We're in range."

Jacobson adds: "I'm picking up the boat's outline with the sensors. I can't get anything more detailed without revealing our position, however."

"So shall we?," Black adds.

"Okay. Apollo can drop the phone. Umm, how exactly are we going to see the boat if it's cloaked? Will you just be relaying directions? And how are we leaving the plane?" I might be able to shoot down any projectiles or missiles they fire at us. And, hey, a few oz is a few oz. It probably won't make a difference, but still.

"I'll keep that threat in mind." Use your power on me without my consent and I'll reply in kind. I wish Optic showed up today, and not Hope. His vision power would really come in handy for this. Both seeing cloaked things and finding out what the inside of the boat is like.

(I thought that was the plan as well)

(The plane has a area below the main deck that is separated by an airlock and opens up. It is the usual way to get on and off the plane, and can be used in that way in flight. Star is in already, so the plan executes when Apollo says.)

Hope chuckled. "Lighten up Star. I wasn't serious. I don't believe in hurting friends, even ones I argue with all the time."

Apollo nods, "Ready to race?"

"Why would you say I'm a friend?" she asks, confused. "You're just someone I have to work with."

"I'm ready," Megan replies, excited and nervous. It will be nice to get off this plane.

Black passes around some wrap-around sun glasses connected to small devices taht can be easily strapped to the costumes. "Guess who we license THIS patent to," Black says. "These glasses overlay information that our computers send you on top of regular vision. They don't actually shade by the way. You've get images of the ship's outline as you fly by, and will show a marker where you should let go of the phone."

Apollo and Star go through the airlock, and the plane opens up. They fly rapidly towards the ship, finding that they are equal in speed to each other, and break the sound barrier basically simultaneously.

Meanwhile, on the plane, Jacobson says "Oh, crap, they're scanning us. How'd they find us..."

Apollo lets go of the device as they pass, and the chute opens up. It lands safely on the deck, but not before two rockets are fired from the ship, trailing them. They are fast enough to avoid the rockets when full moving though. Star will have no problem shooting them down.

Meanwhile, Jacobson uses the plane's comm system to call the phone. Someone answers and says in Greek (Viridian understands it directly, but the computer subtitles it on the fly) "I am not authorized to talk to you, whoever you are. I will bring the phone to my boss."

Suddenly one of the monitors used for communication with the Trust shows an incoming communication. Jacobson comments "Strange, he's using one of the protocols left over from the alien technology this plane is based on."

An image shows on the screen. First it is Voderac, but then it morphs into someone else who looks slightly different.

Voderac bows, and says "Hail, Geldaran craft. Your loyal servant, Lord Ares the Strifesower, exiled ruler of Taranas, formerly Aren of Pax, now the human Anatole Voderac, welcomes you to this planet. I have been diligently collecting the data you requested over 21 years ago, even though your arrival is 20 years late."

Viridian recognizes the new image from drawings she's seen (yay knowledge checks). She's pretty sure thats not AN Ares. That's THE Ares.

Hope glances at Black and steps back, allowing him to speak, he knows more about this then they do.

Black shakes his head "I have no idea what any of those names and places are. The ship we derived all this stuff form was mysteriously devoid of all references to the race that created it, or any other species for that matter"

Regarding her name, I'd think Hope would be well aware of the Pandora myth. Greatest of evils in Greek mythology, yet a virtue in Christian lore.

Pooie on you all, but I edited it.
