Chimera Ch 5

Dustland · Post by **Dustland** » Sat Aug 27, 2011 7:36 am

"... and do you think shooting the original Eckle with Captain Marshall's depower gun would resolve the Eckle plague?"

The Doorman stops to think about it for a bit, scribbling notes and equations on a piece of paper. "Um, hmmm. Well, in my uh professional opinion, no. You see...." and he trails off into a monologue of tech language well above any of your understanding.

The best you can figure from his explaination, he thinks Eckel is creating new links between the Chimera particle stream and his victims. If Eckel is out of the equation, the others are just going to go on being crazy novafied-Eckels themselves.

"If that gun can't solve the problem, can it cure a single infected at least ?
And do you have any spare one, by chance?"

"Hah, cure. No cure metal dude, but it will absorb the Chimera particles, turning the nova "off" for as long as the capacitor is still working.

"No, the only gun we made was given to the captain. As far as I know, the feds probably siezed it when they cleared out the lab at the police station."

"Where's the lab, kid?" Fenris growls. "What's the best way in, and where's the control room? We don't have all day here." Fenris pants in impatience.

The scrawny kid takes a few nervous steps away from you, "Good boy, stay." You bare your fangs and growl, causing his limbs to shake visibly.

"Ok, ok...remember when we first met, you guys were on the lower slope of Copper Mnt at the abandoned mine. If you keep going up that road about two miles, you'll come to a gate. Another mile past it is the facility with another gated entrance. You can't miss it, it's covered in radar dishes and is the only damned thing out there."

Javier assesses the situation with his usual aplomb.

"So, the gun won't do s**t other than stop one person for a while," he grouses, "and the only other way is to shut down those Christmas particles you're jabbering about, except the only place we could do that is crawling with MiBs. F**ck."

He claps his hands together and straightens up. "All right then, I've been itchin' to do some *-kickin' and this should do nicely. Plan is simple. we assault the lab, get D-Man here to the controls, and keep the suits off him while he shuts down the works."

He looks at the group expectantly. "Any questions?"

"None..."
Overdrive smacks a fist against his palm, his eyes blazing
"Let's do this. The sooner the better"

He can't help but think
//There's no turning back. Once it's done we won't have our powers to escape that place//
He sighs and adds.
"Once it's over, the first round of drinks is on the house"

"When we're done, we won't be Novas anymore. We'll return to what we were before..." He looks down and the shadow body extends, almost turning room darker and gloomy. "But it has to be done."

He looks at his companions and continues "Remember one of them has the weapon. If they shot one of us we become normal again. A brief moment can be enought for us to die in the midst of a firefight. We must take care."

"And Overdirve, I'll hold you to that promise."

"When all of you are ready!"

He looks at the group expectantly. "Any questions?"

"What are we waiting for?" Fenris growls impatiently showing a toothy grin.

Understanding that the Original Eckle is useless to them, he drops him still hand-cuffed and unconscious.

Javier nods. "We need wheels," he announces. "Not dissing your powers, Nyc, but it'll be better if you don't tire yourself out before the fighting starts."

He starts walking out, waving at the group. "Stand by, I got that covered."

[I'm thinking with the current situation, Javier jacking a van is not going to raise too much of an outcry. If this was a movie, he'd snag a police van just for style.

Nobody seems to pay much attention to Javier as he commandeers a full sized van, complete with tassles hanging from the front window and a mural painted on the hood.

You guys leave Horizon City behind, spotting signs of crazy Eckels running amuck, but nothing forces you to stop. You make it as far as the abandonded mine and stop the van to discuss a plan.

[The first gate Doorman says is usually unmanned but it does have cameras and a call box. Someone at the facility buzzes you through if you're wanted.

So let me know what your plan of action is!]

Fenris growls, "If Nycto doesn't want to teleport us through, I can scout the cameras. Either deactivate them or lead you through their blindspots."

"The longer we can keep the pendejos unaware of us, the better," Javier asserts. "If you can track a route we can take in, go for it. I want to keep Nycto ready as a last resort." He looks to the shadow avenger for confirmation.

Fenris nods. "Give me a few minutes." He takes off road prowling and scouting at high speed.

[bash="Prowling to be stealthy"]5,2,0 = 500831380 = Fixed[/bash]

Move 15
I forgot the end quotes on Scouting, so prowling will show fixed.

"Doorman, did you used to work there?" Overdrive asks.
"Do you got any idea about the obstacles we've got to deal with?
'The number of checkpoints, the type of security systems, the armed guards strengh and their weaponry... Anything useful.
For exemple, their 'anti nova' device, can they generate it as a kind of barrier?"

Overdrive sighs deeply, trying not to think of his loved ones in danger.
"My god, we don't even know what we're facing. DARPA, NHSC, whatever...
They're supposed to be the good guys... They solved the Afghanistan crisis for Christ's sake!
And now switching that * thing off is the best thing to do!
We shouldn't have to break in that * hero club...

Nycto agrees with Overdrives thoughts, as he is waiting for Fenris to return.

"Let's see what Fenris comes up with. Them we'll see if I can circunvent that..." Says Nycto full of aphreension

[Ok, I hereby conclude I suck. I want to finish this campaign, but I don't want to just say ::poof!:: done, but I simply don't have the time to run an all out assault on the lab.

So....

I'm going to handle this as a two part skill check for the team. You can use any skill, power, or attribute. Just give me a roll and a brief description of what you would be doing to help succeed (ie roll stealth, "I'm scouting ahead of the party")

So first and without further adieu....]

Skill Challenge 1: Reaching the lab!

Everyone roll one skill, attribute, or power! The target for the team is 60. Good luck!
