"Well, it certainly couldn't hurt to go full bore." Velocity replied to Gabriel’s question with a small grin as she brought the Pegasus craft down gently onto the ground. As the others debarked, the young speedster when through the shutdown checklist for the aircraft. A few moments later she appeared beside the others in a blur of yellow. It took Velocity only a split second to take in their surroundings, something she was able to do without even having to turn around. The woman who had flown up to lead them down was so far the only of the locals showing herself. "So…what did she say?" The speedster asked, putting her hands on her hips as she stood beside the others.

It took Velocity only a few moments to take in the scene in the apartment. She had no idea what those chemicals were that were spilling out of the vats, but she was very certain that whatever it was, it was not good. "Just hold on a moment." She called out to the man calling for help. In the blink of an eye, the speedster began running in a tight circle, in less than a second a small whirlwind had formed, generated by her movements. Moving forward, the whirlwind sucked up the chemicals flowing out of the vats. Moments later, Velocity guided the whirlwind out of the apartment, heading for somewhere safe to deposit the toxic chemicals.

Okay, Velocity is going to stunt a power off her superspeed array: Air Control 15, to use to move the acid or whatever it is out of the room and somewhere relatively safe.

Foreshadow started off after the two vehicles, which stayed together as they made their way down the Southside streets. They did not drive too fast, and kept the space between them close so as to prevent any of the other traffic still out on the streets from betting between them. The costumed crime fighter followed the vehicles for about half an hour before they visible began to slow some. Foreshadow was rather certain that they were now in Los Tiburones territory as he received a small flash of precognitive abilities, showing him sub-machineguns being loaded. It was rather clear that the Shore Gangstas were looking for targets…

GM Fleur administered her poultice to the injured soldier, the healing plant immediately having an effect. The flow of blood from his lacerations, which had already slowed, stopped completely. Then the cuts began to heal over, the skin repairing itself at rapid speed. The man’s broken arm reset and began to fuse back together. As the man's injuries healed, he began to regain consciousness. His eyes opened slowly, and he got a look at Fleur, his body jerking slightly in surprise. "You're one of the Freedom League, aren't you?" Inside Fairview The small town was rather quiet at the moment, most everyone having sought shelter from the bizarre thunderstorm that had seemingly materialized out of nowhere. But the streets were not entirely deserted as Velocity sped through them scouting out what was going on. In the shadows of one of the buildings along the town’s main street, a tall figure was crouched down peering out into the rain. Suddenly the figure tensed slightly as Velocity passed by, moving so fast that she was all but invisible. But while the figure could not see her pass, he could hear her passage. "What was that?" The man growled in French as he tried to peer through the rain to locate the source of the sound.
-
"Right, back to scouting." Velocity replied with a nod. At the same moment that Fluer and those accompanying her vanished, the yellow clad speedster disappeared in a blur. Split seconds later, she passed by the injured soldier once more, just as Fluer and the others arrived, but continued on toward the nearby town. It was only a fraction of a second later that Velocity reached the edge of the town, the rain from the dark cloud above coming down even harder. The speedster accelerated her pace even faster, moving so quickly that it would be almost impossible for anyone to see her with just normal vision. Starting at the south end of town, she began a methodical search of the town for the missing Humvee and any sign of who had ambushed the convoy. But given the young woman’s incredible speed, even such a careful search of such a large area was hardly going to take any time at all…

Velocity kept an eye on things as they were carried through the castle and then down into the cellars, which turned out to be at least a partial dungeon. The place certainly was a bizarre sight, but made the speedster wonder just who was behind what was going on. Deciding that it was probably time to stop playing along, Velocity began to vibrate her body's molecules at incredible speed. Before the two servants carrying her even realized what was going on, they were no longer able to grasp her, as she quickly had her feet underneath her and moved away in the blink of an eye. Stopping to face the group, she had her hands out in front of her as she called out. "Alright, I think that is far enough. What is going on here?"
-
Yeah, Velocity is anything but intimidating with only a 7.
-
I think it is time for the ruse to end. Velocity will trigger her Insubstantial alt power to free herself and then demand to know what is going on here.
-
So how tightly are we being held?

The cold night air was not nearly as biting as it had been that night several months ago in the Fens, but it still did make for some discomfort as Foreshadow waited and watched. Over about half an hour of watching the location, the costumed crime fighter had seen about half a dozen individuals enter, but so far none had left. There were numerous lights on inside the building, so it was hard to tell how many might have been in there before Foreshadow arrived. Finally, a door opened, and nine individuals made their way out of the building, headed towards a parked SUV and full-sized sedan. Two were carrying large duffle bags, which by the way they were weighed down, were very likely filled with firearms of some sort.

GM Zandar was grinning as he watched the Claremonters make their way down from the platform in their own ways. "Well done my friends." He stated, though the volume of his voice had now dropped from its normal level. "From here on, the rest of our journeys will be on ground level, so be alert and be prepared to quickly follow any directions I give." The Jungle Lord then added before turning and starting off into the grasslands, headed away from the edge of the jungle through which they had previously been travelling. The sun continued to climb in the sky as the morning went on, only now there was no heavy foliage to help block out most of its rays. As they hiked through the often knee high grass, the small group occasionally passed small clumps of trees or shrubs. A few times small one foot high two legged dinosaurs would dart out of the shrubs, scurrying off to disappear into the grass. At one of the larger clump of trees, Zandar had them take a break in the shade the trees provided, so they could rest and drink water. After about two hours of travel, the Jungle Lord had just reached the crest of as small hill ahead of them when he stopped, ducking down slightly and motioning back to the group to stop. After a moment, his gaze fixed on the other side of the hills, he gestured the students forward, with an indication for them to stay low as they did so. Reaching the crest of the hill alongside Zandar, the teenagers saw the plains extend back down below them, the river now looking to be less than a mile away. But perhaps the thing that drew their attention the most was that just over a hundred yards below, a herd of Triceratops was making its way across their path. There were at least a hundred of the three horned dinosaurs plodding along through the grass, with smaller Triceratops occasionally darting to and fro between the adults' legs.

Dee was standing in the center of the room when Foreshadow and Sergeant K reached the room, having done what she could to make Blonsky comfortable, which had including wrapping around him a heavy wool blanket she had found to one side in the room. She glanced over at the pair as they entered, giving a small frown that was almost a pout. "I take it the good doctor managed to slip away?" It really was a rhetorical question, as she did not need telepathy to know the answer. "Well, the Sleeper is still here with us. Just be sure no one touches him." She added, turning to look over towards the medical bed once more. "Otherwise he can attempt to take control over them, and they would never even know it."

Is she British? :D

Having let her herself drop down onto the table as if asleep as well, Velocity was actually able to keep her eyes open, her mirrored goggles hiding them from view, while also giving her a view of what all was going on around them. When the head butler came in, the speedster was surprised to hear him suggest that the Duke himself had wanted the food drugged, but for what reason was uncertain. Velocity had to force herself to remain still as she was poked by the butler to ensure she was asleep. Her mind was racing as she considered what to do now. It seemed that the Duke wanted them for some reason, if it was indeed true that he had ordered the food drugged. But why was uncertain. Deciding it might be best to continue playing along for the moment, Velocity kept herself limp as she was picked up to be carried out of the room.

As she had done the day before, Giang had positioned herself at the rear of the group, to be able to better ensure that no one ended up separated from the group. Kzara spent time back with the Asian teen again, although today she had also moved between the others in the group some, asking them various questions. When they reached the end of the suspended path, Giang waited for her classmates and Kzara to follow after Zandar before she took a vine in hand as well and swung out away from the platform and out over the open grassland beyond the edge of the jungle. As she passed the lowest point in the vines pendulum swing and began to climb upward once more, she released the vine, executing a perfect front piked summersault, which served to stall her momentum, before gracefully landing on the ground in a low backstance. After a brief pause in the marital arts stance, Giang stood back upright, adjusting the straps of her backpack slightly as she waited to resume their trek.

Okay, the OOC for our >thread. HGM, could you give me a Notice check please.

Southside, Freedom City, New Jersey Saturday, March 15, 2014 9:45 PM Over two months had passed since the day after Christmas incident in the Fens, in which Foreshadow had been outwitted by the shadowed figure that appeared to be behind the recent arrival of a new criminal group in Southside. Two months that had included a great deal of frustration in trying to learn more about this mysterious figure, although it had also included a For once, Foreshadow's occasional glimpses into the future had failed to bring him any closer to the mystery man or the key elements of his organization. Somehow the shadowed figure on the DVD recording, who had hinted at precognitive abilities of his own, had managed to say just one step ahead of the costumed crimefighter. As a result, Foreshadow had found himself having to focus much more on traditional methods of investigation to try to gain a lead. The expansion the mystery man (and Foreshadow was sure it was a man after playing the recording through various programs to try to and determine whether something had been done to disguise the voice) had managed to achieve thus far was sufficient to put a good bit of pressure on other criminal groups that were not just outright eliminated or displaced. One of the groups that was starting to feel the pressure was one of the area's street gangs, the Shoreline Gangstas, and according to information Foreshadow had been able to obtain (with a bit of convincing) they planning to stage a hit on one of their rival, the Los Tiburones, tonight, in the hopes of wresting some ground from that group. Beyond wishing to intervene to try and prevent the sort of spillover harm that could often accompany such violence, Foreshadow had to wonder if the opportunity to simultaneously strike a at two such groups might be an opportunity the mystery man did not want to pass up. So Foreshadow was sitting on a rooftop in a rundown section of Southside, right on the border with Lincoln, watching a house where members of the Shoreline Gangstas were starting to gather before they set out.

Synapse sneered slightly at the Sleeper's reply. "I believe the operative word in your statement is 'men.' And 'better' is likely a adjective heavily subject to personal qualifications as well. We will just have to see how well I do." "And as to whether you are Crab is the worse monster, I am sure it could be a very lovely discussion on semantics and philosophy, but I really have better uses for my time." With that the Englishwoman walked away from the medical be, moving over to check on Blonsky while she waited for Foreshadow to return. As she did so, she began to wonder just how long she should wait before she should consider trying to follow after and make sure he was alright.

GM The soldier that Gabriel moved over to was one of the first ones Fleur had healed, and was far more coherent now than he had been a few moments earlier. Based on his name tag and the two silver bars on his collars, the white clad hero identified the man as Captain Strauss. Focusing on Gabriel, the captain gave a small nod as he began to answer. "We were transporting two prototypes, X312, a miniature battery and energy projector and X269, a serum that appears to provide test subjects with temporary superhuman abilities. Each was in a separate briefcase, in which there was also an encrypted flash drive that contained all the test data on each prototype." "The briefcase with X269 was in that Humvee." He stated, indicating the one that had had its roof ripped open. "I suspect it is gone now. The one with X312 was in the Humvee that managed to get off the highway and clear of the ambush. Or at least I think it was able to get clear." "As for what happened, I am afraid I cannot give you much of anything, as I was knocked out right after my Humvee was hit in the side by...someone, and knocked into a civilian truck in the next lane."

I'm in! Also, if we wanted to replace Wave-Eye now that Ari is leaving, Semi-Auto is making some changes on Myr that could allow him to operate underwater more efficiently.

Bluff check, if needed: 20, 24 if Attractive applies.

As the dinner went on, Velocity kept an eye on Robert and the Duke, looking for any sign of effects from the drugged food. She stayed part of some of the conversations, or otherwise just followed them, during the meal, continuing to make it look like she was eating it. As the desert and after dinner drink arrived, she was starting to see signs of drowsiness on Robert's face, so started to mimic such behavior herself. As the Duke turned his questioning to her, Velocity could see signs of him falling asleep as well, while Robert was already out. The speedster decided to continue playing along, trying to play it off as if she was slowly succumbing to the drugs as well as she yawned and gave a tired answer. "I...would have to was more a mere accident of fate." She hoped that Grim would get the idea to play along as well and see what happened when they were all "asleep."

Couple comments for the revised sheet Goose. For the equipment, it would not be in a container, it is just individual pieces of equipment. For the Standard Arrow, the Progression Range 2 should make a max range of 5,000 feet, which should be noted.

Yes, adding limited immunity to aging would work as well. As for the Vulnerability to Cold, you will get 2PP for the frequency, you also need to decide how much it effects you. If it only adds +1 to the DC of a Cold attack/power, then it adds nothing. If you increase the Cold power effect by 50% (so a +8 cold attack becomes +12) then you get +1 PP. If it doubles the Cold powers effect, then you get another +2PP.
