The team stepped out onto the building and Tilian walked to an elevator on top of the building, sliding his finger across the security lock and ushering them in. Thirty seconds later, they were on the ground floor, walking out into the crowded streets of Manchester."Jodrell's right there," he said, pointing at the bank.8 hours, 30 minutes.-Teezy Edited March 29, 2012 by Tyler Durden Quote ＳＡＹ ＩＴ ＯＮＥ ＭＯＲＥ ＴＩＭＥ ＴＥＬＬ ＭＥ ＷＨＡＴ ＩＳ ＯＮ ＹＯＵＲ ＭＩＮＤ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeavyMetalSunshineSister Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 OOC: Err, yes, I am still around. Been a bit busy lately. The main thing I need to respond to is the bit with Mage, yes?IC(Fellwyd): The alien was, to say the least, just a bit disappointed at his opponent's lack of defenselessness - while it was a good mark for humanity that at least some of them knew what defense was, the fact that he was fighting what appeared to be the best example of that was less good.Taking some time to circle his opponent once more (keeping clear of the mess Pyroclast had made), Fellwyd considered his options. Generally, with those relying on energy-based shielding, the best way to break through the shield was to simply throw more at it than it could handle. With Sluice busy with Pyroclast, however, his options for doing that were limited.Weighing his options, he chose to test Mage once more, aiming, once again, to bring the staff down upon the villain's head. Now that he knew what to expect, the primary purpose of this "attack" was to see exactly how the attack was deflected, and what effect, if any, it had on Mage.

Kumata Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 OOC: FYI, Jodrell Bank is not a bank, it's the name of a centre of astrophysical studies, with observatory, etc. More info here if anyone wants it. Not sure why it has 'bank' in the name.IC: As they made their approach Viktor gazed up at the massive Lovell Telescope, a rotating satellite dish that towered over the rest of the facility. He could certainly see why Lady Hexas had chosen this place to broadcast her worldwide announcement."Remember your roles, and stay inconspicuous," he said to the group as they arrived at the entrance...OOC: Alright TPTI, take it from here.

With her legs wobbling underneath her, she slowly climbed to her feet, revealing that she had a scrape on her cheek but was otherwise unhurt. She looked frightened, though, her eyes a tad wider, darting more often in an unsettled manner. Explosions were not among an aquakinetics abilities...Unsure what to do next, she willed the ground underneath Sluice's heavy armor to heat, deciding it was best to attack at a distance as opposed to hurling attacks at her opponent.The orange stone flared brighter again as Mage telekinetically grasped the staff less than a foot above his head, visibly doing nothing more than folding his arms. Quirking an eyebrow, he began telekinetically pulling on the staff, twisting it in Fellwyd's hands and making it spin so that Fellwyd had to turn to keep his grip on it...~Lord Rahl~ Edited March 30, 2012 by Lord Rahl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kumata Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 (edited) IC: Viktor's gaze swept across the facility. He took in everything that he could without lingering too long on any one thing; the buildings - possible hiding places, if anyone was watching them through the windows, the locations of security cameras; the staff - the way they walked and whether it matched the common gait of a person carrying firearms, their ethnicities (if the majority were not white caucasians it would suggest that they were hired stooges), and the average age and fitness of each. Even the glasses-wearing woman was not safe from his subtle scrutiny. Nothing immediately seemed suspicious about her, but since a short conversation was going to occur he would have time to study her thoroughly.Again, Viktor was not a paranoid man. Just very cautious.IC: The thick coating of ice surrounding Sluice protected her from the rapidly-heating floor - however, it also prevented her from sensing it. So Sluice remained where she was as she raised an arm towards Pyroclast, sublimating a chunk of it into a jet of water. Specifically she was trying to hit the villainness in the face, hoping to blind or disorient her... Edited March 30, 2012 by Kumata Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Half-Dragon Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 OOC: If Geist did reply, I'm afraid I missed it. Also no word on the EMP grenade that should have gone through KILL's shattered windshield by now... NPC: While the field agents performed their assigned task, Carapace was busy with Jodrell Bank's computers. He'd gotten into the systems easily enough, undetected of course, and had already noted the placement of every security feature in the area, but scanning for unusual transmissions was proving a bother. All the clutter - from satellite feeds to cellphones - was making it impossible to find anything out of the ordinary unless he already knew what he was looking for. Added to the fact that the equipment he had hacked into wasn't really designed to pick out individual feeds in the first place... It wasn't going well. For the time being he would simply have to rely on the ragtag bunch that had more or less assembled itself to actually pull this off... so odds were actually not that bad. {H-D} Quote Good to conquer evil Lies to fight the truth Are any of us only saints or sinners Or is it always Red versus Blue?

I can be stressed during the global tournament, but not during this minor one.Also no word on the EMP grenade that should have gone through KILL's shattered windshield by now...I'm going to have say that another villian took care of it, or one never got thrown at all. If I give KILL some baloney EMP-immunity then I've just removed a major weakness I had given him (he'd be disabled at the very least, 'killed' at the most), and I can't really see anyway around that without outright making up that he's not weak to them, somehow....... and if I'm honest, who the heck throws an EMP grenade at a car. As far as I know that'd do far more damage to the high-tech stuff in Mentor's Mansion than any normal car, and since he isn't normal it may as well have been looked up on his "How to counter" chart.Rahl, I'd just go ahead and skip to the Coalition forces escaping personally. I've got zero drive (pun not intended but humorous) to IC as KILL now that I've created another situation mirroring Invasion where the IC's of about eight people all hinge on my actions/lack thereof.

Have you been getting my PMs, because I've been trying to contact you?I'm going to to take the initiative and end the plot right here. If you have a character at the League base, take note!IC(NPC): Several things seemed to happen at once in the chaos at Mentor's Mansion. Shard's diamond hammer collided nicely with one of KILL's machine-guns, tearing it away. Ultionis clung fiercely to the back of the sentient vehicle, which was increasing in speed with every second, rocketing towards freedom - then a ghostly figure hovered up through the roof of the car (Grau) solidifying just long enough to stamp on the agent's fingers. His loosened grip, coupled with the many forces of friction acting upon the car, served to hurl him off, leaving only the villains to rocket through the huge hole in the wall and out towards the street."I can slow them down!" Cried Skyra, who had just began to manipulate wind currents in the hope of drawing the villains back.Before the gale could take effect however, a wide pillar of light descended from the sky (quite literally, out of the blue) engulfing the entirely of the black getaway vehicle and its villainous occupants. They shimmered and vanished, and the light faded.The onlooking heroes stared at the empty space where KILL and his passengers had been, silent for a few moments. For the benefit of those who were confused, Loadstone spoke up:"The Coalition's satellite teleporter."IC(NPC): In the amphitheatre-like room at the Coalition HQ, the encircling computer monitors on the above level flared with noise and activity. There was a droning sound and, in a flash of light, a black car appeared at the centre of the room. KILL still possessed forward momentum, and screeched and skidded to a halt just before he would have struck the metal barriers of the arrival pit.Upon the platform overlooking them was the indigo-costumed figure of Grand Cross. He placed his hands on the safety rail and leaned forward, staring down at them."Welcome back."IC: "The research facilities, I would think?" Rather than answer the lab-coated man, Viktor directed his answer to Bruce in the form of a suggestion. Bruce was meant to be their boss, so it would look natural to defer to him...

Half-Dragon Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 OOC: To clarify: The EMP grenade's compact size means it has a limited area of effect. It wouldn't have covered the whole room, much less the whole mansion. As to why he used it, all modern cars have electronics they require to function - spark plugs, off the top of my head - and a Coalition escape vehicle that apparently doesn't require a driver and can extend a pair of gattling guns at will clearly falls under the definition of 'high-tech.' Plus, that and a thermal grenade were the only things left in his arsenal at the time. And he was saving the thermal for Grau. NPC: After waving away the League doctors with a stiff 'Nothing's broken' and suggesting that they look after the more severely injured in the area who may not have been so fortunate, Ultionis slumped against the wall and allowed himself a groan. With the adrenaline rush wearing off he was now beginning to feel the full extent of what the battle had done to him. He'd been tossed around like a ragdoll, slammed with concussive waves, partially frozen in a block of ice and his teeth still hurt from the sonic scream. And to top it all off? Mission failed. The prisoner got away. The League's own headquarters, smack dab in the middle of the superhero capital of the whole ****ing world, and a bunch of no-names just busted in and walzed away with him like they were picking up some ****ing groceries. ****. Against the protests of his aching muscles, he pushed himself to his feet and went to pick up his fallen pistol. He'd need to de-ice it, replace the gunpowder cartridge, clip was probably useless too... And then, when he was finished recharging and reloading, they could get down to planning a counter-attack.(H-D) Quote Good to conquer evil Lies to fight the truth Are any of us only saints or sinners Or is it always Red versus Blue?

"I'm happy to report a successful rescue, though we lost Meltdown, Dirge, and Archmage somewhere in the battle. Also, Aquarius was badly injured in the escape; he needs medical attention, ASAP."While Blowhard contented herself with glaring daggers at Spex's back, Impact whirled around to face Grau. "Oh, do calm down," he said, then snapped his fingers. "Someone find Apparition, and send him back to retrieve Grau's weapons." One of the Sharkmen complied, hustling off through a sliding door on the upper level. "Now will someone please tell me why I was not informed of the backup team?"IC: (Loadstone)Muttering to himself about Aquarius escaping, Loadstone headed back toward where the phaser's weapons were discarded on the floor.

"You might want to take a few steps back, as well," he advised the magnetic Hero, motioning for Loadstone to back up. Raising an eyebrow, Loadstone complied, glancing from the weaponry to the clairvoyant."In 3...2...1...now," Doctor Om added, pointing toward the weapons at the last word. A gray-clad figure appeared out of thin air, latched onto the swords and gun, and teleported away before anyone could make a move to stop him. "You're welcome," Doctor Om added, the second that Loadstone opened his mouth.Loadstone's mouth hung open for a moment, then he closed it and swallowed. "What would have happened?" he asked instead."Knife in the back. Dead before any of these lovely doctors of ours could have reached you."Loadstone paled, looking back to the spot where Apparition had vanished. "I see...""What the h*** happened here?" a woman's voice asked, quickly followed by the woman herself. "It looks like half the mansion's been destroyed, and that's the good half.""Coalition," Loadstone replied absently. Doctor Om took far more interest in Sugar Rush, however."Where is Psionick? I must speak with him.""He wasn't there," Sugar Rush said sourly. "His house was in a sorry state when I got there, but there were no signs of a struggle. The place was furnished with beer bottles and tissue boxes, though; I have a feeling he wouldn't have gone anywhere by himself."Doctor Om took a deep breath and let it out slowly through his nose. "That is...unfortunate," he said quietly, then held up a hand. "Excuse me a moment." He turned away and pulled out his cell phone, waited a heartbeat, then answered it when it began to ring."Yes, Spectral? ... What? ... Tell me you're not serious! ... Mm-hmm. ... Yes. ... Well, get back to me then. Goodbye." He stood staring at the cell phone for a moment, then hurled it with all his might at the nearest wall with a snarl of rage. Taking a ragged breath to compose himself, he set to straightening the collar of his golden vest, which it hardly needed. "Gabriel Lapointe has been kidnapped," he said finally. "Last night, in fact."Loadstone and Sugar Rush looked at each other, visibly shaken. "Spectral will find him," Loadstone said in what he hoped was a reassuring tone. He wasn't so sure of his voice anymore."Tell me, Loadstone, not that I want to know, but did the Coalition escape with Aquarius, or is he still in League custody?" Doctor Om asked in the too-calm tone of someone about to scream.Loadstone bit his lip, preparing for the outburst. "He escaped."Surprisingly, Doctor Om sighed with relief. "Oh, good. At least one thing went right today..."IC: (NPCs - Superbeing Smackdown)After her last attempt to deflect one of Sluice's attacks had exploded, Pyroclast was not about to try to deflect the jet of water. She lunged to the side, somersaulting out of the way, while still raising the temperature of the floor underneath Sluice. She could definitely be considered paranoid at this point, because she refused to get any closer to Sluice than she had to, backing away as soon as she climbed back to her feet...~Lord Rahl~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snelly Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 IC: Skyra - League Mansion -"How is that a good thing!?" Skyra suddenly yelled at Doctor Om. Skyra looked visibly upset, it didn't help that his rather quick recovery from his concussion had been done so hastily repaired, Dr. Light had warned him about possibly side effects. "The whole bloody point of us all fighting was to freakin keep Aquarius here!"

Half-Dragon Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 NPC: What caught Ultionis' attention this time was the cellphone that narrowly missed his head on its way to the wall. He glanced over in the direction it came from. Some hero in a gold cape (flashy, much?) was saying something about a Gabriel Lapointe being kidnapped. Someone called Spectral would find him, yada yada... Waitasec-The soldier found new energy in sheer rage and stomped up next to Skyra, for once in full agreement with the hero. He didn't say anything yet, though. He was expecting an explanation. A very, very good one.(H-D) Quote Good to conquer evil Lies to fight the truth Are any of us only saints or sinners Or is it always Red versus Blue?
