@Heritage give me an IC post of what you try to do, and we'll see what happens.

GM The yellow path surges forward. The Emerald City ahead grows ever closer as the nanoseconds pass by. Other data streams join it for a time, before diverging, as it remains the one true path to the goal that lies ahead. And then, Haven is there. The Emerald City stands before him. What should be a simple path into the data center is not, however. The yellow data stream that he had been following goes through what appears to be a massive gate, an emerald firewall to block any unwanted visitors. A long queue of would be visitors are ahead of him. A guard, an emerald light, reads from a white list of allowed visitors, allowing entrance or turning away the hopeful applicants. It will soon be Haven's turn. He is not on the white list.

GHOST Casper once again seems thoughtful, waiting as Grim explains herself, while he pours champagne into his own glass. "Haven't we all been there?" he asks, while he puts his glass on the table and stands up. "You know me. I'm busy all the time, running around trying to solve problem's everywhere and try to make everything better. Too busy for my ex-wife." "So, we might get hurt, we might not. That's life. Not doing anything because of what might happen? Can just as well stop living, yeah? And God knows I've known plenty of people that's not Fae that's hurt everyone getting too close just because." He holds his hand out towards Grim, waiting for her to take it. "Just one thing we gotta worry about soon..." he lets it hang for a moment. "You should probably meeting Carrie soon. I really don't want her to randomly find out that her dad's dating again, y'know."

Space Ranger III Now that is not what J'onn had exptected to hear. Some threats, some statements about superiority, maybe just going straight for the throat. And an offer of help? Kath'lana might relax, but J'onn's not sure he wants to be quite that trusting just yet. Kinarr Khan is still a Star Khan, even if he's not the same Star Khan. He lowers his ray guns slowly, but keeps them in his hands. "Uh huh. Well, the offer's appreciated, Star Khan. As Korus' representative here, I'd like to welcome you to the system. We're just looking to find out what this asteroid's about before deciding what to do about it." He turns his head slightly towards Stewart, without taking his eyes off the Star Khan. "That reminds me, the scan's get anything yet?"
-
GHOST As Sitara and the other Praetorians start to explain things, Casper holds his hand up in front of his eyes, as he tries to stop himself from chuckling. "I really only meant that as a joke, y'know," he tries. Galactic peace, and all that, and all they need is love? "All that sounds good, but do we need an observer on the ground or something?"

The STORMCROW Charlie doesn't react to Leon's teasing comment as he goes with Vik, though he clearly hears it. When Vik starts talking, fumbling over her words a bit as she works up her courage, he crosses his arms. His brows furrow ever so slightly, barely noticeable to anyone that doesn't know him well, or is trained to look for signs like that. As she finishes, he shakes his head. "C'mon, think a bit better of me than that," he says with a light smile. "We got a freaking dragon here, and whatever Leon is, and yeah, I did look into you before inviting you here. Didn't know specifics like that, but I wouldn't have invited you here if I wasn't serious about it. I can't imagine it's easy for you to deal with all that, but a pound of raw meat? That's doable. There's something in the fridge if you need it now, should still be plenty left for whoever stays." Charlie pauses for a moment, rubbing his chin thoughtfully. "I would like to know the specifics at some point, if you don't mind. Things like how often exactly, what happens exactly if you don't and so on. Just so we're sure to have what you need." If he's shocked or surprised by Vik's declaration, he doesn't show it.

Time for @Heritage to deal with the Conqueror Worm... So, final tally for your bonuses: +3 Attack from Master Plan 3 +5 Attack from Inspire +5 Attack from Ghule and Multi-Girl providing Aid +5 To Grapple checks from Inspire The Conqueror Worm is Entangled, making it more difficult for him to fight back.

GHOST "Lover boy? Somebody going out of their way to show off how strong they are to get someone to marry them or something?" Ghost asks, looking at Sitara. Chlo-zel (he is sure that he will be pronouncing that wrong if he tries) sheds a bit more light, and then Patriot comes from out of nowhere and starts talking about Star-Khans, scrambling defenses and whatever else she got going. She clearly knows a lot more about whatever is going on here than he has any chance of knowing. He shakes his head. He has absolutely no idea what's going on here. "How about we just assume that some of us got no idea what's going on here at all?" he asks Sitara. Honestly, he is just confused right now.

GM Cyberspace: A realm beyond time and space. A digital world of wonder and order, unbound by the limitations of the physical world. White zeroes and ones barely visible behind the perfect blue sky. A realm that connects the world. A never ending, always expanding network of worlds. Through the rabbit hole, the digital consciousness that is Haven materializes into another world. He is falling, streaming forward through the data streams, a hint of chrome among white and black data streams, breaking the monotone of the on and off. Time holds no meaning in the Cyberspace. To Haven, it feels like minutes or even hours of falling. In the real world, not even a second has passed. Before him, he sees a hint of yellow. Something up ahead, another data stream, one that strikes off hard, away from the rest. A yellow path, a road to follow. In the distance from the road, he can see an emerald city that rises on the horizon. All spires and towers. Above it, far in the sky that is not a sky, hangs a red planet.

Spaceman Go direct. Right. Draw attention and try to keep it on him. Parker already knows how hard Ashley can hit, and now that she is powered up? He frowns when he sees the dragon, and what sounds like Ashley inside it. "What did you do to yourself?" he mutters, shaking his head. He doesn't expect her to hear it. It doesn't matter. "I'll try to get her attention," he says to Rot and Torpedo Lass, trying to sound more confident than he actually is. "She doesn't like me, so maybe I can keep her focus so you can attack." Setting off from the ground, he flies in and then... heat, fire, purple plasma. A laser beam. Throwing his hands in front of himself, Parker moves to block it. It cuts into him, but his molecules are too dense. IT does not cut through more than his costume, leaving a burnt mark in his arm. "Ashley!" he shouts, as he flies to the side. Draw her fire away from everyone else. Focus it on him. Let Consuelo, Mizuki and Carmen do what they can. "Stop this!" Reach out, try to grab hold. She's like mercury, difficult to get hold of. Difficult to stop. "Calm down, and we'll help you!"

Well, let's see... TOU Save: 17 Yeah, I'm gonna spend a HP to reroll that: 15 + 10 = 25, so that's a Bruise. I'm going to change the Personal Space Control Array to Insubstantial, making him immune to physical and energy attacks, which might help here, and try to Paralyze: 17 I kinda doubt that hits, but the Subtle 2 might help catch her flat-footed. If it hits, then its a DC18 Reflex Save vs. being paralyzed for Draco.

Go for it, no need to roll. Give me an IC for it, and then, @Heritage is next...

GM M:>You cannot dismantle an organization the size of MarsTech in a day. M:>Not even the part that is their Ultio Project. M:>Knowledge is power. Shared knowledge is power to the Nth degree. M:>I know who you are, Haven. I know what you are. You are uniquely positioned to break into the MarsTech servers and to find all the information you can on the project. An image appears on the screen. Or rather, a small animation. A white rabbit that leaps into a hole and disappear. M:>You ar ea digital consciousness. Enter the cyberspace, enter the MarsTech network. Follow the rabbit, Haven. M:>And good luck.

The STORMCROW Looking at Luke, Charlie grins and shrugs. "I told you. It's Raven money. I put the plan together, let him know what I wanted to do, and he agreed to support it. It's ours, no strings attached, but just, y'know, don't go smashing the place up." He stops. "There's a training room for that." Another pause, as he looks at Leon. "I'm gonna veto that name. Hard pass." Charlie looks at Vik with an intrigued expression. "Sure? What's up?"
-
The STORMCROW "Sorry," Charlie whispers, having snuck up behind Bernie and pulling the trigger, scoring another point from just behind her. It has gone well, so far. Bonding, having fun, hanging out without any big trouble. Of course, that's when the armored AEGIS vehicle crashes through the wall into the building. Charlie stares stares at it for maybe half a second, turns to Bernie. "Everyone, suit up as well as you can. Get to the vehicle. I need to grab my stuff." He is already moving towards his backpack before he has stopped talking, grabbing it and moving somewhere he can get into his suit.

Spaceman 2007. They've time traveled, and it doesn't seem like it was something that Lawrence had planned to do. His eyes glow, like they're brimming with energy. That's the first time Parker has seen him do that, but Parker's attention is drawn elsewhere before he can comment on it. "Nobody knows who you are here, Michael," he says, smiling lightly. "Were you even born at this point?" There is nothing condescending about his tone or anything like that, if anything, it sounds more like Parker is trying to lighten the situation just a little bit. And then... Velocity. So much younger than when Parker and the rest of them saw her at the christmas party. "Consuelo got a point, but I don't know if we should be flying around. How many people with powers were around back... well... now, I guess? Mizuki's got a good point about sticking together, especially with that barrier you say are out there." He looks at Lawrence as he says the last bit. "We should get out of here, before we get into any trouble, but Lawrence? Your eyes were glowing just before."
-
GHOST "You're the boss," Casper says, holding up his hands. Velocity obviously knows these Praetorians better than he do, and Gaian Knight backs her up, so that's really all that he need here. Still, Casper hasn't had much experience with all this space stuff, and he doesn't like that they're essentially flying blind here. "How long do you think before it gets here, if they don't get tot it?"

ARCHER II A woman on fire. A big guy with a golden aura. Of course the snakes have metas around. What kind of gang doesn't have metas on their payroll by now? Fire's a problem, and who knows what the big guy can do? A golden aura can be anything. Fine. He grabs a bunch of arrows, clicks them into place, and then steps out from his corner, bow raised and just lets loose. The arrows that he shoots all split into others, resulting in a true hail of arrows shooting towards the two metas before he moves back around the opposite corner, out of sight.
-
Archer moves across the hallway and shoots, then goes behind the opposite corner. I'm gonna go with a Hail of Arrows with Autofire added at the two powered people in the hallway (I'm guessing that's Vicki and Peter?). I think I should be able to catch them in a 60-300 ft. cone AP: Blast 6 (Extras: Targeted Area [Cone]; Feats: Improved Range 2; Flaws: Range [Touch]) {14/14DP} (Descriptors: Hail of Arrows, Piercing Damage Type, Multiple Arrows) Attack: 22 DC21 TOU save, +1 for every 2 above Defense, at max+3.

There's a lot of people grouped all around the Conqueror Worm, so you can't use it without hitting them all too. MASTER PLAN 3 ACTIVE: Round 3/6: Everyone gets +3 bonus to attack rolls and skill checks. INSPIRE 5 ACTIVE FOR Shift, Ghule, Multi-Girl, Nightscale and Paper: +5 bonus to attack rolls, saves and checks until Stormcrow's next turn. The Conqueror Worm status: Unharmed, Pinned by Shift (Immobile, No Dodge bonus to defense, Defense -4), Secondary Effect DC25 TOU save on Init 18 from Toxin, Entangled Puppets Status: Weakened by 6, Entangled 22 - Stormcrow - 2HP - Unharmed 22 - Paper - 1HP - Bruise (x1) 22 - Ms. Scorpion - Bruise (x1), Staggered, Bound and Helpless (Rank 15 Snare) 22 - Chump - Bruise (x1) 20 - The Conqueror Worm - 18 - Ghule - 0HP - Bruise (x2), Dazed 18 - Toxin - Bruise (x1), Dazed 16 - Casanova - Staggered, Immune to damage at the moment, Grappled by Nightscale (Bound and Helpless) 14 - The Conqueror Worm - 12 - Multi-Girl - 1HP - Unharmed 11 - Nightscale - 3HP - Injury (x1), Bruise (x1) 11 - Shift - 1HP - Unharmed, Grappling the Conqueror Worm - Aid +2 from Ghule to next attack roll/defense 10 - Shadowborne - 3HP - Unharmed

Spaceman Init: 20. Heading towards Ashley.

GHOST "The Praetorians?" Ghost asks, looking at Velocity for a moment before turning back to the screens. "They are something like a space-Freedom League, right?" Casper is out of his depth here. He has fought aliens before, but that was usually in Freedom or the skies above or something like that. Not dealing with a potentially fraught diplomatic situation in outer space. "Any chance we could ask them about what's going on?"
