It just confused me is all. I kept thinking I overlooked something. LOL.

I like the flashback idea. Maybe just italics would work, like people have been using for inner thoughts?

i.e.
Lady P thought back to her childhood....Her Daddy was pushing her on a swing, etc.

Just an idea. But whatever works.

And there we go. Hopefully not pushing things too far along.

Several things:

-Everyone please make a Notice Things roll and post the result. Looking for thresholds of 20.

-Fliers can jump out any time, even in the "middle of my post" if that makes sense.

-The team can leap from the plane early using AR as a parachute or rubber raft, or you can wait until the pilot puts it down and then hustle over to the battle. Hup hup hup!

-If it's not clear, there are more or less three mini-battles going on: the flying rocket troops pinning down a bunch of GIs, the walking tanks laying waste to just about everything in site, and the Ratzi uber-agents at the far end of the compound, assaulting the building where a bunch of defenders are holed up.

Have at it -- divide into teams (or don't) and then we'll talk about rolling for Priority and such. Don't get too far ahead of yourselves making attacks and such yet, let's get organized and let the battle(s) go from there.

Excited to be at the action!

Just to be safe, I made 2 rolls for the notice. The first one, with the 24 result, is Meteor using his Meteor Vision. The second, which was 16, is if he isn't using it. I wasn't sure if he had time to turn his Meteor Vision on, so I made 2 rolls.

As for Teaming Up, Unknown Soldier would like to get to those walking tanks as fast as possible. Whoever is going there, who can move quickly, he will hitch a ride with them (He has no mass and can pass through walls. He won't "possess" the person, just grab on and go along for the ride. He'll be invisible during this, but will talk to the person he "rides" with so they know he is with them. He'll ask them to get him onto one of those tanks if they can.

FYI: I am taking my computer in to get looked at tonight. Depending on how it goes, I may not have an internet connection for a while. I should know more tonight. Run Lady Paramount as an NPC if need be.

Roger that, Heroglyph. And bigsteveuk and others, I'll PM the results of the notice roll soon. Strongly suspect it won't alter your courses of action.
