Slipstream "I believe the school does have something of a theater program, as an elective and extra-curricular activity." Lynn replied. "Though, it can often depend on interest and participation on how active it is. But if needed, I think the school can help you get involved with similar programs off-campus." The blonde teen then turned toward Harper as she spoke up about supporting each other through the year. Sometimes it was easy for Lynn to forget that not everyone grew up around the superpowered community. Of course, thinking about that had the sixteen-year-old think about the other kids she had gone to Nicholson with, particularly Madison and Mary, who in this timeline were only ten years old and still at Nicholson. Feeling a growing sense of sadness start to well up, Lynn bit her lower lip briefly as she tried to calm herself and keep an otherwise neutral expression. "I grew up around this sort of thing, so not quite the culture shock. But I am always happy to help anyone as best I can." She replied to Harper's little speech, managing a half smile. It was then that another new student approached the group, asking about her roommate, which turned out to be Renee. Lynn stood back slightly to allow the two roommates to discuss, not wanting to crowd into the conversation, as Renee seemed a little unsure about having too many people around at once.

Slipstream As the hard light of the Doom Room activated and the scene shifted to an intersection within a city, Lynn had shifted to full speed. The blonde teen quickly took in everything around her, not having to turn her had as her high-tech googles provide her a full three-hundred-and-sixty-degree view around her. Noting the position of all her classmates and all the holographic enemies, she decided to start with a group of three opponents standing near each other down one of the streets. Lynn became a blur of black and red as she speed down one of the streets toward the first holographic alien. *CRACK* A supersonic punch connected solidly with the holographic alien's jaw, sending it flying backward. But Lynn had already moved up to the next of her targets. *CRACK* A second superspeed punch landed, sending that alien sprawling as well. *CRACK* Lynn punched the third one with similar results. But she did not stop moving, running a short distance past the third holographic opponent before taking a sharp ninety-degree turn and running up the side of a building where she skid to a halt on the rooftop. Meanwhile, down on the street level, the three holographic aliens all slammed to the pavement unconscious, where they lay for a moment before disappearing.

Okay, starting things off: Round One 27 Slipstream 2 HP (unharmed) 19 Gookgak 3 HP (unharmed) 19 Prime Mover 3 HP (unharmed) 11 Serendipity 5 HP (unharmed) 8 Centuria 2 HP (unharmed) 7 Troopers (20 spread out) 3 Stormchild (unharmed) Slipstream will dart down one of the streets towards three of the Troopers standing near each other. She will do the site rule base Power Attack (-2 atk/+2 dam), will Take 10 to attack the first trooper, DC 25 toughness save: 19 fails and is knocked out, will Takedown to the next one: 8 also knocked out, third: 14, also knocked out. She will continue moving and run up on the roof of a building. As should be obvious in the above, the troopers are minions, so you can Take 10 to attack them. @FlyingFresh Gookgak is up.

Okay, that certainly hits. However, with only a +4 damage bonus from STR, that does not get past his Impervious. He gets a 39 on his grapple check, so he breaks free from the attempt. The man in the top hat moves up to try to shock Harlequin, and misses as well. ROUND TWO 34 Slipstream 2 HP (unharmed) 23 OD (unharmed) 21 Harlequin 2 HP (unharmed) 17 Avant Guard (8) 8 Arctus 1 HP (unharmed) 4 Renoir (unharmed) Slipstream will move in towards OD, changing her array to her Power Thief and try to grab him to drain/mimic: 15 which is a miss, will use a HP: 19 (with the +10), so that hits, DC 18 Will save: 14 so 4 PP drained from all powers. Slipstream Mimics Enhanced Str 20, Impervious 8, Sensory Shield 4. Will get an IC up in the morning.
-
Yes, sorry I should have added more detail. There are a number of parked cars, a bus stop, trash cans, etc, around the area. Will have the order up in a sec and get us started!
-
Sure, go ahead with an attack roll (and just go ahead with a grapple check as well to have it done if your attack roll succeeds)

Timeout After the combined firepower of members of the past Freedom League and members of the Praetorians dealt with the robed entity, Lawrence had looked to the sky along with the others. The blond haired teen tapped into his cosmic senses, his eyes going completely blue and glowing with energy. "Yes, the temporal barrier I sensed around the city is collapsing, so nothing is blocking me from getting us out of here any longer." He replied. "But as for the rest….that is harder to say. At the moment, the timeline appears to be stable, but that does not mean that the entity could not just shut it down once we are gone." His eyes began to return to normal as he looked back over to his friends. "I am not entirely sure what this timeline consists of. It could just be this city, or the state, or Earth, or a fully complete alternate timeline. I cannot even say for certain what its connection to the normal space-time continuum is." Lawrence let out a small sigh. "We cannot stay here. But, I am worried about taking us back without at least first trying to locate the timeline the others have been placed in. If we are outside the space-time continuum, then they would be as well. We might have a better chance of locating them here than going back to our timeline."

GM The tri-colored beam of energy erupted from the heavily modified Meson Driver, streaking across the park towards the massive temporal distortion erupting around the robed figure. The bright beam of energy drew the attention of nearly everyone around the park. The beam struck the temporal barrier at the point where Lawrence and Parker's powers had been focused, resulting in an explosion of the various combined energies. The air shimmered with temporal distortions and the black crackle of Parker's powers as the multi-colored shockwave spread. When the bright flash of the explosion had subsided, the dark robed figured could be seen slamming to the ground some thirty feet behind where it had been hovering. Around it the temporal barrier that had been protecting it could be seen shattering under the combined attack. But even as the figure pushed itself back up and began to rise, many of the heroes scattered about the park took the opening to target the being behind everything. From one side, Captain Thunder (hovering in the air and healed by Lady Liberty) unleased a powerful lightning bolt at the figure. At the same time, Deadalus, Lady Liberty, Siren and Star Knight similarly unleashed ranged attacks of various energies. From the other side, Paradigm had risen higher in the air, as beams of bright energy erupted from her eyes towards the robed figure. Several of the other Praetorians joined their leader in targeting the robed figure, as Traveller, Moon-Moth, Magnetar and Dragonoid unleased magnetic, fire and magical blasts. The varied energies slammed into the robed figure almost simultaneously, resulting in another massive explosion. When the flash and smoke cleared, there was a large crater in the ground, the robed figure lying at the center. No…I…I…was….so….close. It stated weakly. You…re…friends….are…still…doomed. It added, before ripples of temporal energy washed over it and the figure was reduced to dust that swirled in several directions before vanishing as well. Around the park, the remaining time shades of the Crime League and the aliens that the figure had summoned vanished. High up in the sky, massive temporal distortions could be seen as the invisible barrier that Lawrence had sensed began to collapse.

Multi-Girl It was not the robed figure that responded to Rosalind's question, but Archer. He looked over at the teenager as he spoke, "Centurion died decades ago, around the end of World War II." "Bugger us." Bernadette muttered as she looked over at the vigilante leader before focusing back on the robed figure. The mysterious figure hovered in the air, seemingly unmoved by the pleas of some of the group. "Once Lawrence Harrow surrenders and agrees to join me, I shall return you to your timeline." The figure stated simply. "He an' the others aren' even here." Bernadette spoke up. "Are they somewhere else in the city?" "Harrow and his companions are in another timeline, facing the Communion." The figure simply stated.

Nah, let's just have you spend a HP and we will call it good

Multi-Girl Bernadette had leaned against Charlie for most of the movie, her head resting on his shoulder, so she had been right there when he had whispered about being glad he opted for the larger screen TV. The redhead smiled and whispered back. "Aye, good thing indeed." The Irish teen remained quiet this rest of the movie, alternating between what was on the large screen and her friends. Soon enough the film was over. "I can take care o' heatin' up some pizza." Bernadette replied as two of her duplicates appeared behind the sofa she and Charlie were on. The two duplicates made their way over to where the pizzas were waiting and grabbed several of the boxes and took them over to the kitchen. "Thank you fer brin' the movie Vik. It was a good one." The original Bernadette said with a smile.

Slipstream Lynn had looked at Kadene when she talked about wanting to keep some secrets and seeming to believe some of them might end up as enemies. But before the blonde teen could comment (if she had intended to) a voice came over the sound system in the Doom Room. "Well, now that you are all here, we can get started." Stated one of the school’s teachers. Around the five teens, the spartan room changed to a city street, several low buildings around them. The five young heroes were standing in the middle of an intersection. Other than the teens, the streets were empty. "The Freedom League and a couple of our students had an encounter with some aliens earlier this year. We will try for some opponents based on that incident to start." Stated the teacher up in the control booth. Suddenly, about twenty figures appeared, spaced out around the teens down each of the streets off the intersection. They appeared to be alien humanoids of varied appearance, wearing light body armor and carrying what appeared to be high-tech energy weapons.

Timeout The golden energy from Michael lit up the jury-rigged device in Vueriz's hands and was quickly followed up by a volatile ball of energy from Mizuki and the green gamma radiation from Baz. Vueriz could feel her device vibrating in her hands from the combined energies that had overcharged it. She was uncertain how long the hastily adjusted systems could handle all the combined energy, hopeful she would be able to use it soon…. A short distance away, Lawrence and Parker both turned and focused on the black robed figure, black crackling energy surrounded Parker, while Lawrence was almost hidden behind a temporal distortion as he began drawing fully on his power. Then suddenly both released their power at once, aimed at the robed figure. There was an explosion of crackling black energy that seemed to fluctuate in time, surrounded by temporal distortions. In front of the dark figure, the combined energy seemed to reverberate across a temporal barrier, dancing across it as it seemed to try to pull apart the barrier. While the two teen’s combined power did not breach the barrier, it certainly seemed to be weaking it in preparation for Vueriz's device…

Multi-Girl And things had quickly devolved into complete chaos, as Bernadette's teammates began engaging with the various supervillains and the two different sides of villains engaged both each other and the Guardians. Things were increasingly complicated by Purple Haze living up to his namesake, as the area was soon filled with a thick, purple haze that prevented the combatants from seeing anything around them. The original Bernadette focused on trying to get any remaining civilians clear, calling out and telling them to move to safety. She then went silent, moving a short distance from where she had been as she tried to listen for any sounds around her that she might be able to identify as a threat. Meanwhile, her duplicate could hear Born Loser moving away from her, and did her best to follow after him in the haze. Somehow, she managed to stay with him, and estimating where he was within the haze made a sweeping right hook toward the sound. The duplicate again had luck on her side, as the wide swing managed to connect solidly with the villain, and she felt it knock him off his feet to land a short distance away….

Okay, the dup will try to stay with him and attack him (with penalty/miss chance there is): 24 on the attack roll (DC 27 if it manages to hit)

Multi-Girl Bernadette shook her head. "The last thing we want ta be doin' is just givin' him what he was after. All we have is his word it is his. Not fer us ta decide the ownership o' whatever it is he was after." The redhead stated. "Us takin' it an’ just givin' it ta him would potentially make us accomplices. We can let others sort all that out." When Michael asked about waking him up and questioning him. The Irish teen gave a small shrug. "We could try, but I am not shoor he would be interested in talkin.' Noor am I certain I would be willin' ta believe much o' anythin' he had ta say."

@RocketLord Is Bernie's duplicate still near Born Loser (who she tried to attack at the start of last round)?

Slipstream Lynn had noted Kate and then Own arriving in the Doom Room, giving the two a small nod. As Kate's question, the blonde teen shrugged slightly. "Possibly, but they may also want to push us, to test our limits. But, probably not this first time round." "Lynn Conners." She then said in greeting to Owen when he introduced himself. "Don't think we need to use codenames here, but…never hurts to practice. I go by Slipstream when in costume." The blonde then turned to the newest student that had arrived. She had heard some rumors going around about the small goblin, but she had not really encountered him yet. She was a bit surprised when the goblin dropped down and began pleading with whomever might be up in the control room for the Doom Room. "Umm, this isn't a punishment. We are here from some testing." Lynn replied. "I think there are supposed to be two more of us before we can start."
-
@RocketLord At this point I think we are going to forego rolls to get this wrapped up @The Sailor @Supercape The two of you can post TL and Baz doing their part to charge up Vueriz's device. Then I will post Lawrence's saved action as he and Paker combined their powers (and Rocket can join) @Kaede Kimura Then you can post Vueriz using her jury-rigged device.

Slipstream "Sure, no problem Mattie." Lynn said with something of a half-smile and a small shrug at what had been (at least for her) a rather minor amount of effort given her powers. The blonde girl had then just gone back to listening and observing the others, when Renee came over and quietly asked how Lynn knew her way around. The sixteen-year-old turned slightly to Renee before responding in a somewhat lower volume. "Oh, I had a tour of campus back toward the start of Summer. Then accompanied Mattie when she got a tour a couple weeks ago. I do believe there are maps in the welcome packets in the rooms, I only took a quick glance at then when I was dropping off the bags."

You mean the container? it is fine, I was worried more about it not having much utility right now. APPROVED

Sub-Basement of Claremont Academy Bayview, Freedom City, New Jersey Monday September 9, 2024. 10:00 AM The start of the school year had been Monday, which had brought with it all the chaos of the first day of school, figuring out where all the classes where, making last minute changes to schedules, and more. Given one of Claremont's unique (and secret) purposes was helping teenagers with meta-human powers learn to control and better use their powers, this included time being schedule for new students to have some time in the Doom Room so the staff could get some baseline readings on their abilities. Six of the new class of Sophomores had their sessions scheduled for mid-morning on the second day of classes: Kate Devon-Leeds, Lynn Conners, Gookgak, Owen Akerlund, Reil Estime, and Kadene Estime. As they had been told to be ready for combat simulation and other strenuous activity, the teens had been told to wear the Claremont school uniform, or their costumes (if they had them). So Lynn and gone back to her and Mattie’s dorm room and changed into her costume before making her way down to the Doom Room. Once in costume, the blonde teen had felt a bit more comfortable at moving at full speed, so had been one of the first to arrive. She was dressed in a skin-tight black body suit with red stripes, gloves and boots, along with black goggles with red lenses. Her long blonde hair was pulled back into a ponytail to help keep it out of her way. Lynn looked about the large room that was located with one of the sub-basements beneath the school's grounds as she waited for some of her classmates to arrive. The room was rather Spartan, with smooth white and grey walls, a floor that had a hexagon pattern and a high, almost cavernous ceiling. Along one of the walls, a couple dozen feet above the floor, there was a dark set of plexiglass windows. While she had never been in the Doom Room before (either here or in her original timeline), Lynn had trained some in the Freedom League’s Wreck Room, so she had at least had some understanding of what to potentially expect from this session.
