"I don't need a ride thanks, I can get there instantly."

Picking up the phone he sends another message to The Doorman as FriendofMabel:

///The Doorman:

Mama B. was murdered, and we survived just barely.

When we were in the house a thermobaric shell fell, and shattered the roof destroying it, rupturing the gas pipes and killing Mama B.

Thermobaric Weapons are very expensive and high tech, so this wasn't the work of some para-military Anti-Nova group. It was someone with resources and power.

With the killing of Mama B., they took out the voice of peace and reasoning among the Novas, and it will bring chaos.

Who will win with chaos I don't know, but Novas in general aren't...

Mama B. seems to have some trust in you, so we are doing the same.

We would like to have a meeting to discuss these problems and to know if you have some idea of who did it. You can say the place and time.

FriendofMabel

PS: Your car isn't a tahoe is it?///

[No. According to our esteemed GM, Javi's borrowed ride is a Chevy Nova.

Besides, if Javi was going to jack a SUV, he'd go for something classy. Lincoln Navigator with chrome wheels, 6-disc CD player, *' stereo system...

(That was the message for The Doorman. All that is between /// is.
A little bit of info that we got from the vids, was that there was an tahoe parked there after we left- the baddies? The bureau?. Just being a little distrustful on the Doorman.)

We? There's more than one of you that went to her house? Are you guys starting a superhero group or something? Can I join! No wonder that place was targeted, if what you say is true. Holy crap, this is deep man.

I've got a few days of work I need to get knocked out then I'll be free to head down to Horizon City. In the meantime Ill work my contacts on nova.net and see what I can find out.

Keep your head down and I'll get back to you and we can set up a meet. But seriously, if you guys are starting a super team, I'm in dude!

And no, I don't drive a Tahoe, why?

The Doorman

(I may handle the next couple of days through pms if you guys split up. If more than one of you decides to stick together, I'll keep it in a thread.)

Are we forming a supers team? Maybe we are...

Nycto shows the message to the others, and says "It's good advice... We should lay low. We don't really know how THEY knew about the meeting.
If they know about us, we, and the ones near could be in trouble..."

Fenris picks up two of Javier's burner phones. He gives everyone one of their numbers. "Javier, we passed a diner on the way over here from Mama B's. Can you drop me there? Can someone spot me a couple bucks, too? You guys can call me when you need me."

"I admit I wouldn't mind a ride Javi.My 'super' transportation technique is not that discreet on long range..." he says with a shrug.
"So the plan is to lay low, to stay away from Tahoe and wait for a sign of the Doorman?...Novas still need to know they are in danger...The sooner the better... "

Nycto returns the message to The Doorman:

///The Doorman:

Yes, this is crazy but deadly Sh*t. Surviving bunker-buster bombs was lucky...

Keep yourself alert, and have care in your investigations. If They are as powerfull as I'm thinking...

When you can drive by Horizon city, send a PM as to where we can meet. I'll tell the others.

As for the tahoe see flick number three in Novatube about Mama B death. It wasn't there when we exited the house.

Answering Harrison Nycto adds "I agree. They must know, but if we start telling everyone, it could be harder to find the culprits. And maybe we're still in danger... I suspect the attack was aimed at Mama B. but who knows..."

"Sure pal, just wait a sec" he says, searching in his pocket and offering him a bill

You really think we can find the culprits? With such resources they are probably a powerful organisation... I think they'll probably find us first if we're worthy of their attention...I'm just worried about a new unfortunate incident to the expense of another Nova...

"The word is out on Nova.net, every Nova is going to be alert and ready. I'm more worried about a Nova backlash if this info gets out, I just hope the Doorman can keep his mouth shut," as to whether he needs a ride he replies, "I may need a ride, unless someone has a transportation power I can 'borrow.'"

Protheuz · Post by **Protheuz** » Sat Oct 16, 2010 6:44 pm

Nycto ponders the situation "By now they think one of two things:
that the attack was successfully hidden by the gas pipe leak story and nobody knows about it, or that somebody knows that the attack was an attack...

In the first alternative, if we say nothing they will continue with their plans, and maybe target another Nova, if we put that information online they will be alerted, hide their trail, and come after us.

If the second alternative is true they will do it anyway...

And the backlash probability is high, as no Mama B is there to calm Novas around. To some, this is just the justification needed..."

"A backlash? Holy crap...That could be even worse...You've got a point..."

"Thanks," Fenris takes the bill. "I appreciate it."

"Yeah, you can wrap your head around conspiracy theories." Fenris offers. "We have very little facts to review. One important fact is the type of weapon used, so we should infer that THEY have more resources than we have and are better organized."

"As for next steps, we can discuss several key questions:
1. Did THEY know we were at Mama B's? Probably considering using military ordance in a civilian area.
2. Did THEY expect us to survive? If THEY did, THEY may not care thinking us too insignificant... collateral damage.
3. Do THEY think that we are significant enough to meet the same fate as Mama B? If yes, THEY will probably find us faster than the other way round. If not, THEY probably will only monitor us using their standard Nova serveillance.

My current conclusion suggests that the next 24 hours will tell us whether or not THEY want us dead or not. If we survive the day, then THEY have gone on to their next anti-Nova plot. And we have some time to find them."

"So, if we ain't dead by tomorrow night, we're in the clear?" Javier asks with little sign of concern. "Works for me."

"Exactly." Fenris smiles wide. "So are we heading out? I'm hungry."
