Ultimate X-Force 2: Seven Deadly Sins

Col. Dougan smiles at Shadowjack's efforts. He turns to the other three and says.

"Yes, please, try them on. After you put them on, please go down to the training room and get yourself a workout with them."

Stonewall grabs his new costume and leaves the room. A few moments later you hear a very loud thud. A few moments more pass and you hear pronounced grunting. Later, a sweaty, exhausted Stonewall walk into the room.

Shueeweee boys, them leather pants sure are tough to get into.

Stonewall walks forward, modeling his new gear. He is clearly wearing his pants backwards.

I sure do love this bracer though. Gosh, who'd a thunk I'd be saving the world dressed like Cap'n 'Merica? Golly, wait till my folks hear about this!
 

Voice grabs the jacket and holds it up. "Sweet! Now I just need to find something high to jump off."
Trys on costume then begins walking off pauses and turns to Col. Dougan and says "I've been meaning to ask you about some books on tape or maybe a few crash course language programs."
 

"Certainly John. I think you all will find everything you could want at your disposal in our post-state-of-the-art training facility. Including access to linguistics programs and very tall buildings. Feel free to figure out your costumes and access any of those resources you wish."

OOC: [sblock]Feel free to spend any PPs you need to spend. If there is something you are not sure about how to buy, just post it on the Out of Character boards, and I will help update your character, otherwise, just tell me what changes need to be made. I will continue the story by tuesday. I have my master's class this weekend, and am too busy for something major and new. I hope you like your costumes.[/sblock]
 

Sunspot grabs his suit and carefully puts it on, making sure not to break the shield generator.
After slipping on his red gloves he hesitantly goes into Sun form. The suit reacts as Doc Langston suggested, with the regular clothing disappearing in place of the swiftly moving plasma particles surrounding and encompassing Roberto's body, yet leaving his shield generator harness intact. Roberto examines himself, and then turns on the Shield generator on his chest. A semi-transparent barrier surrounds him and then fades away.

"Excellent work Doc"
 

The Voice [sblock]When you access the language training library, you are sent a number of language tapes that not so much teach you how to speak different languages, but show you how to work out language patterns. One night, while listening to the tapes, you fall asleep (as you are supposed to) and don't reawaken for 3 days. When you wake up you are in a hospital bed. "Hello, my name is Doctor Galland. You are responding excellently to our language programs. Your natural mutant abilities have allowed us to unlock potential you had, allowing the mental trace waves in your voice modulation to not only convey commands, but to now convey meaning. Also, we have installed lingual pattern recognition software through former Weapon X data nodes you still had active. In short, you should now be able to comprehend any language spoken you hear or read. In addition, whenever you wish it, your voice can be understood by anyone who hears it, even if they all speak in different languages. In short, you can now speak in tongues. I hope you don't mind the intrusion, but you did ask for linguistics training, and we just provided you with the best you money can't buy." You are then released to go about your business. ooc: I bought you the power Comprehend rank 4, costing you 8 PPs and granting you the above abilities. Are they what you were hoping for?[/sblock]
 

Down in the training room, Shadowjack completes some perfunctory warmup exercises. Once some of the others arrive, he grins with a sort of faux-malice and says, "I do have one other trick that I'd like to show off. Do I have a volunteer?"
 


"Excellent, Sunspot. Very... brave."

With a moment's concentration, Shadowjack reaches out and grasps Sunspot's arm, at which point Sunspot vanishes without a trace.

To the others, he says while walking across the room, "Now then. Sunspot is fine, but... elsewhere. I don't exactly understand where it is I'm putting things with this power. 'Nowhere' seems to be a pretty apt description. If his will is strong, he can escape soon; if it is weak, it'll take a little longer. Even the weakest person isn't likely to be held more than a minute or two at the outside. But the applications of this power to divide and conquer are, I think, self-evident. Having to touch my target..."

He is interrupted by Sunspot's sudden reappearance, right next to him even though they are now on the other side of the room.

"...welcome back. Having to touch my target, as I was saying, is the only major limitation. I can actually store more than one person or thing at a time."

He shakes Sunspot's hand and chuckles. "Thank you for volunteering. I hope it was not at all unpleasant for you."
