(1d20+4=6)</a> Poor guy.  Other two: <a href="http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=314031" target="_blank">Nice! (1d20+2=18, 1d20+2=16)</a> Success on both.  So The Professional only loses one patient.As civilian ambulances begin to take away the wounded, the S.H.I.E.L.D. soldier that has been assisting the Professional stands and extends his hand."My name is Private David Daniels.  You did some good work here today."  He looks over at an EMT covering up the one casualty.  "A lot more would have died if you guys hadn't shown up.  We were pinned down, and probably would have been dog meat before help would have arrived.  So... thanks a lot."During all this, Verdant, Fracture, and Citizen V interrogate a captured Rat Pack soldier.  He is held in the huge and gnarled fist of Verdant.  He glares at the three of you, but hasn't tried to escape.Citizen V inclines his head at Verdant.  "Thank you.  Now let's see what we can learn."  He steps toward the soldier.  "I see from your uniform you are Number Twenty-Nine.  A 'prime', as it were.  Now tell us, Twenty-Nine - what were you after here?  How did you know this was a S.H.I.E.L.D. facility?  Where is your regrouping point?"  Citizen V looks over at Fracture, and then back to the soldier.  "I suggest you answer.  My comrade here is not so friendly as I."  The soldier turns and looks at Fracture, his eyes wide.Kaiju stands nearby, watching this.  He feels something akin to a cool breeze as he spreads his arms and absorbs any excess radiation that he may have expelled.  Some of the nearby soldiers watch, not entirely sure what he's doing.  He is tired, as he always is when he breathes like that.  The doctors use to tell him that he was 'reducing his internal radioactive h-plexes' - whatever that means.  All he knows is that he can do what Godzilla can do, and that's cool.</blockquote>
