We have intercepted these broadcasts from inside the dam. We apologize for the poor quality of these transmissions.”The image of the dam is replaced by a grainy close-up of man’s face, his sunken eyes burning into the camera.“…unworthy of my genius, unworthy of my gifts.” >brzzt< “You would just as soon forget me, smother me in your mediocrity…” >brzzt< “…merely insects, all of you, and this is all you deserve. You will long remember this day, and with it the name of Dr…” >brzzzzzzt<The broadcast ends in a jagged line of static.“To recap, the criminal mastermind known as Dr Null has taken control of the Conowingo Dam. Police have cordoned off the area but are waiting for reinforcements before moving in. No demands have been made so far, and there is concern that a show of force could end the uneasy stand-off and spur Null to destroy the dam, flooding a considerable portion of the greater metropolitan area and threatening to destroy the community of …”Just then, Wheeler's voice breaks in on the radio, "Aquaphibian, get topside as soon as possible with Ghost and Twilight Gryphon.  Leave Intrepid and Million Mask there to clear out any other problems.  We got a situation at the Conowingo Dam.  We don't know why he's there, but Null is threatening the Dam.  One of our analysts thinks he might be a threat to poison Baltimore's water supply"After some discussion a technician at the Resolute headquarters leads the three out of the maze of Dr. Null's hideout to the street through a utility access tunnel using old city blueprints. They are about two blocks from the jet and can see their pilot, Dick, waving his arms at them.  As they pile on board, he says "We'll be there in about seven minutes.  They have a landing site picked out for me already.  You guys get ready to take care of business, I'll get you there".  Without another word the Vigilant "jumps" into the air and takes off.ooc: We are at a little stopping point for a week.  My wife is visiting me from Alaska.  When we pick this up at the Dam, you'll have two more players.
