@Avenger Assembled Yeah, I think we're stretching the free action a bit, so... Wadjet goes first, then the Cultist gets to react on her turn.

GM The squids stopped in their tracks. Rather, they were forcibly stopped in their tracks, as Asad's explosion of brilliant blue white energy impacted against the floor and the water blew out towards the squids, sending them back a few feet. They all flashed yellow as Asad raised his glowing hand, starting to huddle together, their arms wrapping around each other as they sought support. They stayed very yellow, not a single other colors shining from them. To those that understood, the meaning was clear. Don't hurt us. We surrender. And yet, one squid that the group knew of remained, having escaped somewhere into the ship.

GM "You bet! We're building the future here, kid! Can't have just anyone snooping around and try to steal it, right?" Rita was beaming, gesturing with her hand for Nicole to follow towards the building. "You'll get to see most of it, gotta keep some secrets, but you'll have to sign a NDA first, of course." The large pyramid structure loomed over them. As they approached, it started to block out the sun, leaving them in shadow. "From everything I heard, you're trustworthy of course, but lawyers and money men and all that." They got to the entry, which quickly opened into the main room with the reception. Rita quickly strolled up to it, picked up a tablet and handed it over to Nicole. "Alright, that's the NDA. I'll need you to read everything there, then sign at the bottom." She was all business now, the jovial tone from before all but gone. The receptionist, a dark haired man in his early twenties with a small moustache and short hair, flashed Nicole a quick smile and held up a visitor's pass for her to see. Reading the NDA over, it seemed like pretty standard stuff. It was mostly stating how Nicole were sworn to secrecy, and any and all sharing of information that she learned during the visit would be strictly controlled by ArcheTech. Any unauthorized sharing would learn to termination, with the possibility of lawsuits to come. Rather standard stuff, really.

Great rolls, but as you said, just skimming. Official stuff: Rita Lang has been working on nanotech for more than 20 years. She has had many interesting theories about how nanomachines could be used to cure diseases, repair tissue and more, once the technology fully matures, at least. She has generally kept out of public, but is well known in academia. She has been with ArcheTech since ArcheTech West opened. Generally speaking, Rita seems to be more of a planner than a doer, making the plans and theories, and leaving it to her assistants to actually build the nanomachines. There has been several instances in the past of assistants or colleagues complaining about her being a perfectionist, firing others over mistakes. Rita claims that this has only been after several similar incidents.

I don't really feel the need for a GM post yet, so let's keep going with them just hanging out and setting the scene a bit before I get the action started.

Forever Boy Walking. Always walking. Even if Pan did not see the need for secrecy of identities, he would at least respect his friends' needs, and so, he was walking, rather than flying. It took longer, and it was not quite as fun as flying, but that was how it was. "I imagine there are a great many movies I have yet to see, nerds or not." He leaned in a bit closer, flashing a grin. "After all, we did not have movie theaters back on Neverworld. Many other wonders, sure, but no moving images on giant screens." He decided to leave out the part about only having been on the Earth for less than a year so far. He had not exactly been shy about being from somewhere else, after all. And of course he had loved Star Wars, so this, Star Trek? Now that should be fun to see. Honestly, both being Star somethings made it a bit confusing, but he was willing to brave the confusion! And while Selena might be paying the tickets, he insisted on the snacks. Including lots and lots of popcorns. Ever since his first visit to a movie theater a short while back where Danica had introduced him to the wonders of popcorn with butter, he had been hooked.

Justice Yeeeah. Gretchen had it covered. She didn't really seem to care that Robin was nearby, but honestly, why should she? Its not like she knew what Robin could do in the first place, even if that man seemed like a weirdo. She really shouldn't worry, right? Just some loon trying to come in with some phony book and try to get an easy payday? Robin smirked a bit at the thought. Yeah, like he was going to get by Gretchen with a play like that. No way that would work out how he hoped. Still, he seemed really weird, so better to not take any chances, right? She moved somewhat closer, without getting too close. Just browsing, looking around.
-
GM "And yet, here it is! A book that does not make sense, and yet it exists! The find of the decade! The century, even!" The man was clearly still excited, even as Gretchen started opened the book. The first page seemed to be an index. Something else that made little sense, if it was a book that had manuscripts written one by one. And the titles were not exactly the greatest stories ever told. Or at least, not ones that were well known. A total of six stories were listed in it. The War to End All Wars. A Planetary Romance. Sword of Justice. Star Cross. Under A Metal Sky. The Astonishing World of Miv. The question was, which story would Gretchen turn the pages to?

GM The alien horse man tried to stop his laughing, and started to float up, while Mona was dancing around him on the waves. Whatever else, his perception could at least keep up with Mona. "Ha, yes, yes, I must imagine I am!" Another laugh. Qaqaqaqai. And she was off. He started flying after, building up speed, until touching down and starting to run on the waves, and this time, he actually started catching up with her. "But, you see, this was but a test! And you passed, wonderfully and with such haste!" He was almost up to her, and somehow, she could hear his voice even before he reached her. "This is an invitation! To the great race! Speedsters from across the multiverse, racing across all that is and might be!"

Go ahead with IC, that'll stop them in their tracks.

Go ahead

Dust Devil could work for occult hero, though he's not much of an investigator yet. Not quite early 20'es, but he is mid 20'es. He is Western themed and powered by the Magic Mesa, so if its something with ghost dance, he'd fit right in there.

Justice There was a lot of commotion going on up near the entrance, with the strange man barging in like that. Robin had moved closer, standing just a bit away now. Gretchen was tough, pretty no-nonsense, and Robin would like to think that they'd become acquitances, if not friends yet, but it still felt weird just leaving her with the strange man and his book all on his own. Holding a hand up to her mouth, she coughed once and then started browsing a nearby shelf, just to let Gretchen know that she was there.
-
GM The man appeared dumbfounded for a moment. Moving a hand up, he raised his glasses, which had slid down his nose, to make sure they were properly over his eyes again. "You are the owner?" He paused for a moment. Not exactly what he had been expecting, but then he just placed the heavy book down on the counter in front of Gretchen. "Behold! Original manuscripts, for several of the greatest stories told in the last century!" He looked expectedly at Gretchen, his glasses starting to slip once again. "All used this book to write them down, all passed it on to the next!" He was excited, that much was clear. And as Gretchen looked at the book with the glasses, it was clear that there was something magical about it.

GM May 11th, 2019 1 PM ArcheTech West, Bridgepoint Nicole had been given a special opportunity, as part of her internship at ArcheTech. Come to ArcheTech West in Emerald City, shadow Doctor Rita Lang for the weekend. It was not so much a work weekend as a research weekend. The notes about the actual research had been kind of sparse. It had something to do with nanomachines, and a revolutionary use for them, but aside from that, the notes were rather short. They did note that Doctor Lang had specificially asked to have Nicole shadow her, so that was a plus, at least. Something about wanting an outsider's view of the project, which meant Nicole would have to write a report on it once it was done. Doctor Lang was standing outside the building as Nicole arrived. She was a Caucassian woman in the late 40'es. Slightly overweight, which she would attest was because of staying in laboratory all day. Her dark red hair seemed to have been dyed to hide beginning grey hair. She wore a white labcoat, which was open, revealing her jeans and a black t-shirt with the Nine Inch Nails logo. A pair of glasses was hidden in the pocket of the white labcoat. She patiently waited, looking up from her phone as Nicole arrived. "Hey, you must be Nicole. I'm Rita, nice to finally meet you. Been hearing great things about you, kid."

Alright, for the sake of keeping things moving: Can I get Initiative rolls from everyone? And with the number of people present, I'll be using the two people being up for acting at once system that was used in Giant Krampus 2.

GM May 8th, 2019 7:15 PM The Doyle Theater The Doyle Theater wasn't exactly a big place, but it was nice and had a certain charm. The place had just two screens, and they were rarely full, even on the best of days, but still, the place made enough money to keep running. The building had once been an actual theater, but about ten years ago it had been converted into its current form. Much of the decor still showed its past, and it was honestly part of its charm. And on this particular evening, Gauss and Forever Boy of Claremont Academy had decided to pay the theater a visit. There was one movie in particular that Gauss been talking about...

Pan grinned widely at Judy. "There are no need to worry!" No Pixie Dust in here, and he had promised that they would not be discovered, so he kept to made sure to stay grounded when Danica reminded him with the quick touch. Yes, yes, stay grounded. He winked at Danica in response. Take flight some other time. Anyway, Judy. "No one will catch us, as we promised." He looked around at the people leaving around them. "SO! What is one supposed to do after seeing the movie?"

GM The woman looked up at Lady Horus. This close, her eyes were clearly all black, swirling and twisting. Like they were filled with ink. She seemed to hesitate, even as ink swirled around her hands. "Yes... the ink is clear." it seemed to be just the right words that Lady Horus had spoken. "But, if you are with God, why did you attack?" She didn't seem to fully believe Lady Horus yet, but she was confused, at least.

Justice: 1d20+8 = 20 Coming up short, too. No need for GM post quite yet, then. @Tiffany Korta, you're up

"Well, that works too, I suppose." Pan couldn't keep from whistling in appreciation of Oz's feat. It was impressive, the very Earth cutting away from the rest and floating up to contain the fungal infection. Well, it was effective, at least. Not really a cure, like he expected burning it away would be, but Oz did better than burning down the entire forest, at least. But then, of course, there was Lorenzo. The one that knew about this. And what was he doing? Grandstanding, playing to his own ego, wanting Pan to not just apologize, but to lick his boots? "No." Pan was firmer in his voice. They needed information, true, but he would not bow to the Black Rose. If anything, this just made him more incensed to figure it out without Lorenzo's involvement. And they had other options. Pan turned to Boddyflock instead. "Captain Boddyflock. What do you know about this Fun Guy? Where did he come from? What do you know of his infection? Can the Fungus be burn?" He had an inkling of an idea. Maybe something that his Pixie Dust could do.
-
Alright. Pan is a Jack-Of-All-Trades, after all, so let's see if he's picked up some kind of knowledge about fungi, or maybe even fungi that is like this. I guess its a Knowledge [Life Sciences] roll. Anyway, no matter the knowledge needed, its the same roll: 1d20+2 = 10 Eh, doubt it'll amount to much, but let's see!

Justice Robin had been making a point out of visiting Silberman's at least every other week since its opening. After the eventful opening where she had gotten to meet Asad of all people, it had usually been calmer when she had been in now, and she had really grown to like the place. Gretchen, the owner, was pretty awesome, and they had such a huge selection of just about everything. She'd already ended up buying way more than she should, but she still kept coming back. She couldn't resist looking up from the book about the Centurion that she had been looking at when the man ran in. He seemed weird. Proud, sure, but also kinda frantic. Robin could see other people around here looking up at the man's entrance, but she doubted Gretchen would need any help. Still, she should watch.
