Okay, while waiting for Tiff's IC post, Multi-Girl will area attack Martinet and the three elite drones on the ground. 13, rolling terrible today. Will use a HP for a reroll: 25, much better. That hits them all for a DC 27 toughness save. Martinet: 25 she picks up another bruise. The Elite Omegadrones: 22, 25 and 24, so one bruised and dazed, the other two just bruised.

Okay, Timeout will try to hit them with his Stun effect. 8 boo, terrible roll, will HP for a reroll: 20 (after adding +10 to the natural 4). If that hits, a DC 20 Fort save vs Stun.

Sure. @Poncho Golden Star is up

Gotta keep it interesting But yes, this is jury-rigging, so takes a HP.

Clarified with Tiff that Starshine was blasting one of the elite Omegadrones. That attack hits. It gets a 19 on its toughness save, so is bruised.

My new Claremont character for the fall. Slipstream Power Level: PL 8 (180/180PP) Trade-Offs: None Unspent Power Points: 0 In Brief: Refugee from a destroyed timeline with a complicated legacy. Alternate Identity: Lynn Conners Birthplace: Freedom City, New Jersey (Earth-A-45 (extinct)) Residence: Freedom City, New Jersey (Prime) Base of Operations: Claremont Academy during the school year Occupation: Student Affiliation: Claremont Academy Family: Megan Conners (mother, Velocity Earth-A-45 (extinct), deceased); Kyle Conners (father, Siphon Earth-A-45 (extinct), deceased); Lawrence Conners (half-brother, Earth-A-45 (extinct), deceased?); Louise “Lulu” Beaumont (foster sister, Crystal-Gazer - Earth-A-45 (extinct), deceased); Megan Howell-Harrow (adopted mother, Velocity – Prime); Robert Harrow (adopted father, Prime); Lawrence Harrow (adopted brother, Timeout – Prime); Louise “Lulu” Beaumont (foster sister, Crystal-Gazer – Prime) Description: Age: 16 (June 2014 – Earth-A-45(extinct); was 15 years old when she arrived in Prime in April 2024) Apparent Age: 16 Gender: Female Ethnicity: Caucasian Height: 5’ 5” Weight: 105 lbs Eyes: Blonde Hair: Blue Lynn inherited her mother's looks, but generally keeps her appearance rather understated, not wearing much make up or otherwise emphasizing or enhancing her natural beauty. She has a lean, tone body with plenty of curves. She tends to dress rather conservatively, opting for stylish clothes that are not flashy or very reveling. Like her mother, Lynn has bright blue eyes that seem almost to burst with energy. As Slipstream, Lynn wears a black and red morphic molecule bodysuit with a red belt with several pouches. She also wears a pair of high-tech goggles similar to the ones worn by Velocity, but black in color (and with red lenses). History: Earth-A-45(extinct) was an alternate timeline that was very similar to Prime. While there were some differences in the timeline, for the most part the major trajectory of events was the same as Prime. As in Prime, Megan Howell of Earth-A-45(extinct) was exposed to an unexpected mixture of chemicals during a field trip to Astro Labs during her Sophomore year in high school and gained superpowers and began operating as Velocity. Much of her career as Velocity matched that of the Velocity on Prime, until the formation of the Interceptors. While Prime Velocity left the team after a short while, Earth-A-45(extinct) Velocity remained active on the team up until the events of Archevil. During those events, two of the Interceptors, Grimalkin and Colt, sacrificed themselves to save the other members of the team. It was after those events that Velocity left the Interceptors, and, as on Prime, went overseas to spend a year studying at Cambridge. As was the case on Prime, Earth-A-45(extinct) Megan again met Robert Harrow at Cambridge, and the two began dating. However, this version of Robert came into possession of the Stopwatch at this time. As a result of circumstances unknown to Lynn, Robert Harrow died within a few months of obtaining the Stopwatch. Megan left Cambridge early, returning to the States pregnant with Robert's child. Lawrence Harrow was born in 2012, as Megan was continuing to finish her economics degree at Yale. As on Prime, Earth-A-45(extinct) Megan moved back to Freedom City in December 2012 to begin an internship at Summit Financial at the start of 2013. She also met, and began to date Kyle Conners, a freelance reporter for the Freedom Ledger. A few months after they began dating that Kyle learned Megan was Velocity, and she learned he was the hero Siphon, and they married not long after, with Kyle adopting Lawrence. Lynn was born in June 2014, named after her mother's close friend Lynn Epstein (Grimalkin), who had sacrificed herself to save Megan and the other Interceptors. Lynn was born less than a month before Beth Walton-Wright (Lady Liberty) gave birth to twin daughters, Madison and Mary (just as she did in Prime). Given this closeness in age, Lynn grew up being best friends with the twins. With her mother continuing to work in the financial industry (unlike Prime Megan Howell), Lynn lived primarily in the Wading Way or other nearby parts of downtown Freedom City in a few different apartments and penthouses owned by her parents. At a rather young age, it became apparent that Lynn had inherited not only her mother's super speed powers, but her father's power mimic and energy draining abilities. Lawrence meanwhile, demonstrated the ability to control time. While Lynn inherited her mother's looks, she tended to be more reserved and overall kept her appearance more understated. While she also had clear athletic ability from both her parents (her father having been a high school and college football star), Lynn never really took to athletics, although she did continue with gymnastic lessons for a while. Instead, from a fairly young age, she focused on music and started playing violin before she was ten. A few months before Lynn’s sixteenth birthday, Lawrence (who was eighteen) was experiencing extreme, and sometimes painful, power spikes. Concerned, Lynn's mother took Lawrence to the Goodman Building so the Atoms could run some scans and other tests. Lynn accompanied them on the trip, and was thus present when her half-brother began to merge with Collapse, becoming a human shaped tear in the time-space continuum. The Atoms and Velocity proved unable to contain the emergent Collapse, as time and space around him began to unravel. In the chaos, and at the urging of her mother, Lynn used her powers to reach out and copy her brother’s dimensional/time travel abilities to escape. But being unfamiliar with those abilities, the fifteen-year-old was unable to fully travel to Prime, instead getting trapped in a part of Z-Space, halfway between her dying timeline and Prime. This caused anomalies in Atomic Tower in Prime, which were investigated by members of the Atoms Academy, leading them to Z-Space in search of the source. Meanwhile, aspects of Collapse had pursued Lynn into Z-Space, seeking to draw her back to Earth-A-45(extinct) to be destroyed along with the rest of her timeline. The members of the Atoms Academy intervened, managing to help Lynn escape the aspects of Collapse and brought her back to Prime. Upon learning Lynn's story, the Atoms Academy reached out to Velocity, who came to meet Lynn. Horrified at hearing the teen’s story, Megan Howell-Harrow quickly got herself named Lynn’s legal guardian, along with her husband in Prime, Robert Harrow, while they began the process to adopt her. In the meantime, they have been trying to help Lynn acclimate to being in a familiar, but at times very different timeline, which has included getting her extensive counseling to help her deal with the trauma of what she had experienced and the knowledge that everyone she knew and loved in Earth-A-45(extinct) was gone. Personality & Motivation: Lynn had always been rather reserved, although she could be quite warm and caring with those she was particularly close with. While well-mannered and able to carry on conversations in social settings, she was never the social butterfly/life of the party like her mother. Since the terrible events that led to her coming to Prime and the destruction of her timeline, Lynn has become even more withdrawn and quiet as she both tries to process the trauma and adjust to living in a place that is both so familiar and so different at the same time. Even while she was still back in her original timeline, Lynn was becoming more cognizant of the complicated legacies before her. Not only was she the daughter of a member of the Freedom League, with powers clearly identical to her mother’s, but she also had her father’s powers and the knowledge she was named after a heroine who had sacrificed herself to save not only Lynn's mother and other members of the Interceptors, but countless civilians as well. None of this has been made any easier by her arrival in Prime, where she is still likely to be equated to Prime’s version of her mother (given their identical powers and general appearance), but also an increasing sense of responsibility to do something to honor the memory of her mother, father and everyone else she lost in the destruction of her timeline. Powers & Tactics: Like her mother (and Prime Velocity), Lynn's primary power is speed, begin able to break the sound barrier running, deliver supersonic punches and even generate localized sonic booms that can be rather destructive. However, Lynn also has her father's powers, allowing her to copy others' powers and even temporarily suppress those powers, as well as being able to drain others' physical and mental characteristics (and able to temporarily boost her own should she choose to). Complications: That isn't how it happened: Lynn comes from a timeline that was very similar to Prime, but there are differences (large and small). The GM can give Lynn a HP and rule she auto fails a Knowledge/Gather Information check representing her recalling someone/something from her timeline, but what she recalls is not the same as on Prime. Days of future past: When Lynn left her timeline, it was about five and a half years ahead of Prime. The GM can give Lynn a HP and rule that she gets confused remembering something that either has not happened yet, or may never happen in Prime. It gets better with time: Lynn is still processing what happened with her brother and the destruction of her timeline (and deaths of her family and friends). The GM can give Lynn a HP and rule that some threat she encounters triggers memories of the destruction of her timeline, making Lynn Shaken for the encounter until she makes a DC 20 Will save. Complicated Legacy: Lynn inherited her mother's powers, and while Prime Velocity is not technically Lynn's biological mother, the similarity still holds true such that many (both ally and enemy) could equate Lynn with the Freedom League speedster, influencing their reactions/expectations. The GM can give Lynn a HP when these reactions make things more complicated for her.

Well, at x25 speed not quite sure that turns a full-round action into a free action, but that is sort of academic here, as she can make the check and still have an action to start working on the plan. So, brainstorming with Rocket, here is what Vueritz has come up with: She thinks she can jury-rig her Meson Driver to take and focus Baz's radiation (boosted by Michael) and focus that into a beam that might pierce the barrier around the entity after Parker and Lawrence weaken it with the combination of their space/time manipulation powers. That should take down the barrier, at least momentarily, and give the other heroes a chance to try to focus on the entity. She figures it will take about three rounds to make the adjustments (starting this round). DC 35 Craft: Mechanical check (no taking 10 or 20).

Timeout Bernadette had let Michael know that she was not going to be able to make the outing at the arcade. It was likely not too much of a surprise, given the redheaded Senior’s incredibly busy schedule. Beyond just the normal end of year stuff as a graduating Senior, the Irish teen spent a fair bit of time with the other members of the Young Guardians (which of course included her boyfriend). But really, everyone at Claremont knew there was a much, much bigger demand on Bernadette’s time, the ever-increasing popularity of her band. In just the two months since the band had played at the Midnight Hour (which had been one of the few opportunities for many of the Claremont students to see them perform live), Bernadette and her band had traveled to Japan to perform and had shows up and down the Eastern seaboard. In addition, the band had announced an upcoming album of original music and at the end of April had released an original single from the album. Accompanying all this was an ever-increasing number of media appearances, the majority of which fell to Bernadette. In fact, just this month she appeared on the cover of Seventeen. However, while Bernadette was unable to make it, Lawrence had indicated he would be there. Since the return trip from Fiji that had ended up with the Claremont teens being split up into two different pocket timelines, Lawrence had been a bit more withdrawn than normal. While he was as involved in classes as normal (barring a few times he was out of the country with his parents), his free time was mostly spent with Mizuki, or Baz and Parker. Michael had also heard that the blond teen had been logging a lot of extra time in the Doom Room as well. Not too long after Mizuki had arrived, Lawrence appeared as he made his way through the maze of games towards the group. The teen was dressed in a blue T-shirt and jeans, giving Michael a small smile as he began to make his way forward. He glanced over to Iris and Daniel, his fellow Red Team members, and gave them a small nod and a grin as well. At first it was not apparent, but it soon became evident as Lawrence drew closer that there was a teenage girl following alongside. The blonde girl, who appeared about fifteen, maybe sixteen, was dressed in a grey skirt and white blouse. For those that had ended up in the 2007 pocket timeline, there was a strong resemblance to the teenage version of Lawrence’s mother that the group had seen at the Halloween festival, before everything had started going crazy. However, unlike the teenage Velocity, the blonde girl accompanying Lawrence seemed much more understated, with minimal make up and not seemingly trying to do much to accentuate her natural looks. While the girl was trying to give a neural expression, she seemed to be rather uneasy, though whether it was the loud, overstimulating environment or something else was hard to tell. "Hey Michael." Lawrence said with a warm smile as he came over to the other teenage boy. "Small group so far." He noted, spotting Mizuki over at the flight simulator. "Oh, this is Lynn." The blond teen added, indicting the teenage girl who had come to a halt beside him. "She is starting at Claremont in the Fall, so my mom thought she should come along and meet some of the current students." "Hi." The blonde girl replied simply. Now that she was closer, Michael could see another resemblance to Lawrence and his mother. The teenage girl had the same bright blue eyes that seemed almost to burst with energy.

Paradigm La Puma's attack knocked the alien humanoid off its feet, dazing it in the process, although it was not quite out of the fight yet. Over near Golden Star, Paradigm focused her attention on the massive Khanate mecha that had moved over to attack her. The Naram delivered a powerful left hook that knocked the mecha a short distance away and to the ground, the pilot dazed for the moment. Star Khan leveled his dark eyes at the remaining Justicar once La Puma had managed to free herself from the telekinetic grip of one of the Hounds. "As if your treachery were not enough, you have proven yourself truly craven." The Khanate ruler stated as he flew over and delivered a powerful punch to the armored figure. The blow sent the Justicar flying backward a short distance, crashing to the pavement in an unconscious heap. The Boran facing Paradigm saw its ally taken down by Star Khan, noting that the number of combatants that posed a significant risk to either the Khanate ruler or the Praetorian leader were rapidly dwindling. Roaring in frustration, the large alien swung his axe wildly at Paradigm, trying to put everything he could behind the attack in an attempt to harm the Naram. However, Paradigm was easily able to sidestep the attack, causing the Boran to stumble past her, slightly off balance.

Well, the one that attacked her is a minion, but anyway, a hit. It fails its toughness save, so goes down.

Multi-Girl Bernadette smirked at Charlie's comment about how she would be the one to complain if he got hit in the face. The redhead then focused back on Vic. "Sure, we can do two different matches, if that’s how you all want ta do things." Suddenly Bernadette’s duplicate had popped into existence next to her. "But o' course I can provide an opponent fer each o' you." The duplicate stated with a grin. The two redhead waited to see Charlie and Vic's reactions.

Timeout Lawrence grinned slightly as Rev mentioned the possibility of having to case some supervillain through the streets of Freedom Cit in a car. "Oh, that has already happened Rev, in a manner of speaking. Back toward the end of first semester, we got a visit from an extra-dimensional trickster and ended up driving our way through a real Mario Kart style game." The blond teen then turned to his girlfriend as she asked him about possibly having access to some confiscated mini-sub. "I am not aware of my mom ever mentioning anything like that. But I could at least ask and see if there is something that some other heroes might have turned over to the League for safe keeping."

Okay, while I wait for your post, will get some rolls done. Paradigm will hit the Hunter that attacked her, hitting with a 23, so DC 32 toughness save: 27, so bruised and dazed. Star-Khan will attack the last justicar: hitting, so DC 29 toughness save: 14, he is KO'd. The Boran Lt near Predator will move over to engage her, which is all it can do. The other will try to full power attack Paradigm, missing with a 20 @Spacefurry That will bring up Predator after Moon and I make IC posts.

It is not actual a dog creature, just called a Hound. It gets a 23 on its toughness save (vs the DC 28), so is bruised and dazed and knocked down.

That is fine with me, so she gets free.

GM The remaining large mecha saw both Sovereign and a Justicar fall in short order. Rather than focus on the Terran heroine before it, who was mainly acting on the defensive, the mecha decided it needed to try to deal with one of the more serious threats. Moving away from Fleur, the large mecha closed with Paradigm, bringing its plasma bladed down at the Praetorian in a wide swing. However, the Naram paragon was easily able to side-step the attack, the blade cutting into the pavement next to her instead. A short distance away, the remaining Justicar climbed back to his feet, taking a moment to glance about. He then leveled his weapon at the held La Puma Negra, firing a blast of energy at the teen, hoping to remove her from the fight. But Star Khan stepped back into the path of the attack, raising one gauntleted hand to deflect the blast away.

Okay, going to stop picking on Fleur (as E is too busy) and the Hunter will move over to attack Paradigm (it is one of the few things with an attack that can hurt her now). It badly misses. This brings up: ROUND FIVE 26 Justicar Wryy (bruised, prone) 22 Fleur de Joie 3 HP (bruised) 22 La Puma Negra 1 HP (bruised, bound and helpless) 20 Paradigm 2 HP (bruised, weakened -1 all stats rnd 1) 19 Star-Khan (fatigued) 18 Boran Lieutenants (x2, one facing Predator bruised 2, staggered; 1 on Paradigm/Golden Star) 13 Predator HP (bruised 2) 10 Tough Aliens (x2, one on Fleur, one on Predator) 10 Troopers (two groups: 20 to the left and 20 to the right) 9 Hounds (1 telekinetic on right, one telepath on left bruised) 8 Golden Star 0 HP (bruised 2) 6 Hunters (x1 in melee with Paradigm) The remaining Justicar will get to his feet and try to blast La Puma, Star Khan will interpose: misses Star Khan. To keep us moving, I will say Fleur deal with the minion alien on her, that brings up @MoonSimply La Puma. She can use a move action to try to get free from the grapple. The hound only gets a 17 on its grapple check.

GM The Annihlist managed to shake off the mental blast, briefly glancing over towards Iris before focusing her gaze back on Bernadette. The tall woman rushed toward the redhead, swinging her sword as she closed. The broad form of Bruiser suddenly stepped into the Annihlist's path, blocking her from reaching Bernadette. Martinet's glowing sword slashed across the hulking man’s chest, sending a small spray of blood as it cut him and sent him falling back to the ground, dazed and injured from the attack. The Annihilist brought her sword back into a ready position as she refocused back on Bernadette, waiting to see what the redhead did in response.

Okay, Martinet will move to attack Bernadette, with Bruiser interposing. She hits with a 23, so a DC 28 toughness save for Bruiser: he gets a 23 so is bruised, injured and dazed. @Tiffany Korta Starshine's turn!

Yeah, no effect. Go ahead with your IC post.

She just makes her Will save with a 23

I say go with the forcefield up, there has been a lot of fighting, so makes sense it is up.

@Kaede Kimura Okay, Blue Bolt is up. Let me know if you have any questions on things.

GM The green beams from Baz's eyes strike one of the large drones that had hit him, sending it tumbling backward to lie motionless on the ground. Lawrence took a moment to glance around him, his eyes again overflowing with blue cosmic energy as he began to focus his powers once again. Clenching his fists, the blond teen then thrust his arms out to his sides, opening his hands as he did so. A burst of temporal energy rippled out from the teen, again washing harmlessly over his friends and allies, while striking all the Communion drones in the park and well beyond. A massive temporal bubble erupted in the heart of City Center, as dozens of the Communion drones were returned to their original form. Lor, Grue and members of more than a dozen other alien races were suddenly standing in the area, momentarily confused at where they found themselves. In the air, more than two dozen of the small, fast insect like drones also returned to their original form, buzzing about in initial confusion as well. Across the park, another four of the Praetorians were returned to their original form as well, looking about in confusion as they quickly took in the scene around them. However, five of the Praetorians still remained in their silver, Computronium form.
