Avenger Assembled

Sharl looked down at the upload readout again, thinking about the data that was now being transferred to the storage drive. For the people of this Tronik, it would seem as if impassable storms had locked them into their city until they were safely uploaded to the full emergency drive waiting for them in the Sanctum. 25%... Despite his focus, he looked up as Rogue addressed Mali's question directly. "They have made no such distinction with us, child. Why should I, we, not do the same to them? They have killed us in our number, they have killed us for fun, they have killed us for their science, they have warped bodies and minds and even _souls_ simply to see the consequences of the alteration of programmed life!" She took a moment to calm herself, cocking her head and taking a settled breath. "And so now we show them those consequences. This is a war, and how we choose to win it is our own affair." fired back Soldat immediately, but his counterpart heard that faint undertone of hesitation. He swallowed, shoving his hands in his uniform pockets. "

"Ohhhh, you have to watch out for those heroes, they're a tricky, tricky bunch," agreed Stratos. "You hire them to fly a plane for you and suddenly they get these DELUSIONS OF GRANDEUR..." He waved his hands for emphasis, then coughed. "...ahem. What was I saying? Anyway, I can help you get inside, sure. The defenses outside still know me, but they probably don't know YOU if you're a goody two-shoes." He frowned, peering at her. "Where are you from, anyway? I thought I memorized the faces of all you teen hotshots but I don't know you. I even got home addresses sometimes!" he added with a chuckle. "Anyway, I don't like it down here, it's too dark. You never know when _they_ might be listening." He looked around at the darkness suspiciously before adding, "Yes, let's go upstairs and we'll get into Freedom Hall. I can keep the defenses busy by blasting them, and you can sneak in and look around and see what happened. I think I know what it was, though," he winked. - Steve was more grateful than words could express that Jill wasn't curious about the story he'd nearly told earlier. The story of why this particular version of Freedom City was so familiar, yet so terribly bizarre all at once. "Yes, we have seen the same," he said over the commlink. There are scenes of battle. The usual remnants of...of carnage, but the scavengers have not come." He looked up at the grey sky overhead and said, "There were birds earlier. Not many, but they were there. If we can find their nests, we can see from whence they came, and perhaps find food." He and Jill had done pretty well for themselves as scavengers of their own, and were already on their way back to the rendezvous point. "If we can create a power source, we may be able to start one of these vehicles."

"The musicians will play soon," offered Steve as he continued to stoically sip his cayenne chocolate. "I believe they are setting up their instruments now." They'd found a science-oriented band to play, which struck Steve as a suitably aesthetic choice given the scientific surroundings all around them. "I brought up the resonant transformers from the electrical storage room, but they preferred to use their own equipment." Given the small, but real, risk of explosion, that struck him as a sensible precaution. "This is quite bitter compared to what people normally consume at the holidays," he finally confessed, "but it does have some charm." He studied the others and asked, "So, do you have holiday plans this year? There are a great many to celebrate."

OK, so you do want her to have Mental Awareness itself? That's fine, I was just checking. We've raised the cost of Mental Awareness per our house rules (since otherwise it was a little too cheap) so Mental Awareness itself currently costs 2 PP. (so you'd need to spend one extra PP to have the effects you currently have).

Not a build we'd approve for a PC, of course, but this is a bad dude! Er, lady. Normally we prefer to put Mind Reading outside the main array, as with the construction Doc uses on his builds like the Vampire Psion or the Psi-Soldier, but that's much less of an issue for an NPC: as long as the GM doesn't abuse her Mind Reading powers, it should be something scary! What game effect do you want her Awareness to have? I think you may be looking for a different power.

I like the build choices. A little cartoony, but not too bad: i.e., just about right for a game based on the DCAU. And a heroic distaff Lobo is an interesting concept. Powers look OK. Like the Container thing. Change up her skills; remember that Dex is the stat for Drive (so she has Drive 5 (+9)) and finish writing out what her knowledge score gives you. if she is supposed to have INT of 10 or greater, her Knowledge and Crafts should have a modifier of at least 0

Stratos whirled on Blue Jay, his eyes gleaming with electric intelligence and sizzling madness. "YOU! I...I don't know you," he admitted, peering at her suspiciously over clawed fingers shaped like electricity. "Who are you!?! Who sent you!?!" he demanded hotly. "You don't look like one of Orion's girls, you're wearing too many clothes," he said in a confidential whisper before he broke into a giggle. "Hah! Yes, I am trying to get into Freedom Hall, but Thunder has moved everything around, just like he did in all the other places. He's trying to drive me CRAZY you see." He looked around and whispered close again in that confidential tone. "But he won't get me, you see, because I've been above the clouds. I know his seeeeeeecret!" He jumped, doing a little splash in the water. "But I'll never tell! So, you want me to help you?" he asked Blue Jay seriously as if the conversation had just begun. "What do you need, child?" - Warped though the area was, between Wander and Harrier's expertise in scavenging for food and supplies, it was fairly easy to gather what they needed. They even managed to find Steve clothes, his muscular frame just barely fitting into the slacks and Freedom City T-shirt they found. There was food still in the cupboards of apartments and on the shelves of bodegas, albeit only what had been saved in bags and cans and bottles was still eligible. There was something shocking, and suspicious, about the hiss of carbonation when Harrier experimentally cracked the lid of a plastic Coke bottle left sitting alone and closed atop a massive pile of debris where two buildings had fallen down into each other. Just how recent _was_ this disaster? Much as it pained him, he let Jill test the ruined building first, his own great weight potentially a peril as they moved through darkened hallways and through broken doors. Quickstep clung close to Wander as they went, something the other girl was by now almost becoming accustomed to on missions like this. She was doing her best to be a loyal Claremont student, but she was very young, and from her occasional fearful glances at the sky, it was pretty clear she'd never faced a situation like this before. But had any of them? Neither group found any sign of survivors, nor any evidence of hostility. It was as if the people had simply all gone off and left the city behind after the great battle, taking all the animals and other large creatures with them, or perhaps the other way around. "

Loyally doing his best to keep the new arrivals busy, albeit looking more and more reluctant as he spoke, Soldat said, "Well, we didn't make the stuff, that was just something the Nazis were cooking up. Bastards," he said with real heat, the tension in his voice fading. That was one thing he evidently shared with his local allies without reservation. "Anyway, we've worked really hard to keep this stuff secure, so there's no risk of you guys getting exposed while you're here," he said reassuringly to the visitors from another dimension. "They...they made us help with this, so we know about the containment systems." From the look on his face, Citizen desperately wanted to focus on the Tronikian upload he had just begun, but he couldn't ignore either the tone he heard in his counterpart's voice or the question his friend has asked. He was saving his people, he was doing the right thing no matter what the consequences...in his mind, he pictured an upload bar like those on Miss A's computers as they made the last connection. 10%..."So what are you guys going to do here?" he asked Rogue. "Are you uploading yourselves in here before we leave, or are you staying?" "Staying," replied Rogue in that mechanical voice, looking down at Citizen and the others impassively. "And if you're really that curious about the virus, it was Part 3 of the Nazi plan for escaping this war. First they finish their space fleet in the Rockies, a fleet they learned how to build from _us_, with _our_ science, and then they build their own version of Tronik for people in coldsleep. Enough that their population, or the parts of it they choose to save, anyway, can survive with their sanity intact." She stepped out of the robot suit and walked towards the box, a holographic projection pure and simple. "And then they go out into space with a bio-weapon adapted to Lor medical technology. They become a virus of conquest spreading through the cosmos. But that's not going to happen. The plague stops here, with us, with this planet. Whatever we have to do. And in the process..." She ran her hands over the box of bottled death and her smile turned cold. "if we use their weapons to take our revenge for twenty-five million men, women, and children, I think that's no more than we deserve, don't you?" "It's still genocide," said Soldat suddenly, making Rogue's head snap around to look at him. "You saw what this virus could do! It's a biosphere cleanser! On a planet this primitive, it could-" "It won't be that bad," she said with a wave of her hand. "We have the cure, after all, and the facilities to synthesize it if necessary. Foolish Nazis, using organic and on-site backups when we could rise. I am sure the anti-Nazi resistance here will welcome our assistance, just as the Nipponese will once we make it clear who has the power to save their world. And quite frankly, boy, you managed to fight this war without getting your hands dirty," she said to her Sharl sharply. "And that's very noble. But the rest of us, all of our people, have to live with what we have to do."

Cobalt Templar cut her in half. Without a sound, the vampire fell apart in two segmented ashy forms, her eyes rolling back in her head and her teeth erupting from her mouth in the instant before wet, sticky ash hit Cobalt Templar's force field like a puff of flour. The storms abruptly stopped when she did, a last rumble of thunder rapidly turning itself into a gentle breeze as the clouds overhead began to part. At the site of his comrade's demise, Steel Sentinel didn't hesitate: Wander distinctly heard him swear "Screw this!" before he took off into the night sky with a roar of jets from his battered power armor. For a moment, anyway, as he disappeared into the night Wander and Cobalt Templar were left alone with the rescued robot and the wide-eyed scientist who'd witnessed the whole thing.

17 Deaaaaad

"Your girlfriend has a good mouth on her," taunted Bloodstorm. "You must not be doing enough to keep her in line!" Another blast of lightning erupted from the sky at her words, cascading downwards and blasting Cobalt Templar right through his force field in a hair-raising jolt of pure electricity that nearly knocked him out of the sky. Bloodstorm might be a showboat, but there was no denying the sheer unnatural power behind that bolt of elemental fury! "I'll soon fix that, and you as well, my pretty," she taunted. "Hades' will will not be denied! Soon we'll have you, the robot, and everything will be going so well! Ahahaha!" Down below, Steel Sentinel was much quieter: he'd grunted when hit, but otherwise made no sound as he swooped in to fire a laser blast from his outstretched palm in Wander's direction. It was a well-aimed shot, if Wander had been flying: as it was it missed by a mile as she fell back towards Earth. This time, she distinctly heard him curse.

Bloodstorm: Blasts Corbin again And hits! 27 Nice. Her to hit is currently 13. KD, give me a DC 29 Tou save Steel Sentinel: recovers (have an HP, Wander) He flies back a few feet and tries blasting Erin 11 And misses!

Steve turned white along his scars at the site of the murdered North End and was rendered scarcely able to speak as Wander and Jill debated what on Earth had happened. He wanted to remain silent, to let his tongue cleave to the roof of his mouth, but he couldn't. Not when the truth might spare his friends, and spare the young teleporting girl who was staying close to Wander and Jill, from the mystery of this place. He backed up until his back hit a broken telephone pole. "I know this place," he finally whispered, "Another dimension. Another Freedom City. Destroyed by the Terminus. But this place is...this place is gone. It is not here, it is not here to be visited! Even if we had traveled in time, it would not be so...so still!" He looked around, big hands closing and opening for a moment. "This is not the place is appears to be." "It was the same at...at Claremont," Quickstep said after a moment's hesitation and a nervous look at Steve. "I mean, uh, I found the food storage and stuff, the emergency supplies, but everything was all shoved around. There was only one dorm, and the buildings were all in different places. I thought it had just happened when everything blew up, but all the rest of it..." She shrugged, obviously out of her depth and looking to the older students for answers. - Down below in the sewers, everything smelled strange. The smell of filth and decay one associated with typical storm sewers was almost completely absent; this place was clean, dry, and nearly sterile. There was no sign of prolonged activity at all, and Baxter couldn't hear that mechanical voice in his head anymore. Creeping their way through the sewers, Blue Jay and Bee-Keeper couldn't hear or feel anything about the city above. They might well have been the last being on Earth. At least until they approached their destination, Freedom Hall, and from just around a bend in the sewer they heard a distinctive, deeply out-of-place, "Aheheheheh..." followed by the zzt zzt of electricity and the distinct blue glow. Dr. Stratos, leader of the Crime League, had seen better days: his robes were tattered and torn and his beard grown long and ragged. Lightning was jaggling from his fingers like the brushing of electric palm fronds as he slowly zapped his way through the retaining walls between the sewer system and the Freedom Hall underground. "Soon, soon, soon, my old foe," he was hissing to himself as he worked, "soon all your secrets will be mine! You can't keep me in here forever, Thunder. DO YOU HEAR!?!" he screamed aloud, gazing about wildly at nothing before going back to his work. "Sooon....sooon..."

Supercape: There is a mystery here

Glace looked at Wraith, her eyes narrowing. "That's for our use, not yours." She waved dismissively at the crates. "It's nothing you need to worry about. We have no quarrel with your people," she said as if that explained everything. "After all, thanks to the two Tulinks, you're saving the future of our people. Saving Tronik is what matters. And now that you're here, and now that I've seen your gear, Citizen, I'm beginning to think you can do it. Come, let's talk machines." Despite her easy smoothness as a response, the other Sharl was looking visibly unsettled at the sight of the crates, evidently knowing all too well what lay inside. Looking closely, Wraith could just make out the German words "RAGNAROK" printed on the exterior of the crates. As she was speaking, Glace was stepping into a robotic body along the wall, a slim, gracile form that mirrored what the humans knew her real body looked like. "Aaaah, delightful," she said with a mechanical cast to her voice. "Say what you will for the National Socialists, they do know how to build machines, primitive though they may be." "The National Socialists put it here to keep it out of the way," the other Sharl finally offered, not looking at anyone in particular. "It's so no one connects it with the space fleet they're building in the Rockies." "Were building," said Glace without hesitation from her mechanical shell. "With the loss of our data, they won't be able to viably digitize their population. And by the time they try to figure out something else, it'll be too late for them. Sharl, keep our guests entertained while your double and I get this loaded, would you?" Another robot had arrived, this one carrying a familiar-looking piece of alien hardware. Citizen gasped in horror at the site of this Tronik, its casing having been drilled open and copper wires "Copper freaking wires!" he exclaimed out loud inserted inside in several places. Perhaps they ran AC current into it to try and power it! he thought with horror churning in his gut. "I see what you mean about their butchery," he offered to Glace and his counterpart as he stared at the other Tronik with something like horror and awe mixed together. "By the red sun, I'm surprised the matrix survived at all." "It nearly didn't," replied Glace with a hard shrug, and as she and Sharl began connecting wires it looked like the two machine intelligences had completely forgotten about the box.

"Did you know, when the Grue showed themselves on this planet the first time, they came to Soviet Russia as well as the United States? Liberty League tells great story of how Dr. Atom built a machine to find all the Grue in Freedom City, then mindwarp them into believing they are sheep so that they will be easy to capture and put back onto their spaceships. Their fleet showed up a leetle bit after that, of course, but it was still big American victory." Frost looked away for a moment, remembering a long-gone struggle. "We had no such resources. There was no way to do tell who was who, or where they were, or when the monsters would come from the sky. So we...dealt with them. All of them. And when we were done, the world was safe." He made a little fingerpointing gesture, and for the first time in a long time felt his age. "If men from space come, world will be ready for them, just as we were then."

Edge grabs Jason and throws him into the ceiling, then lets go to send him falling straight down to where he was standing. 34 Grapple with HP: 43 Better! DC 30 Tou save for hitting the ceiling; your call on the fall.

"It is cocoa prepared in the fashion of the Mayans," said Steve, remaining stoic even in the face of Erin's dislike for his concoction. "With cayenne pepper in place of the sugar, as they had not yet gained access to that product. I agree, the taste is much more bitter than what most people here are used to." He glanced around at the programmers and scientists on the floor, some of whom were still drinking, but most of whom were concentrating on their candy canes. "Yet some drank it anyway. It was interesting." He sipped his own cup and added, "I think it has a certain pleasant flavor." He offered a cup curiously to Mara. "If you two prefer something more sweet, the pineapple chunks and mango smoothies may be more what you like."

He can't beat that Acrobatics check, so he is flat-footed. (It would actually have hit him anyway!) injured and dazed (since he is a construct)

"I am-death made-flesh. I am-your doom-made manifest. I am-the Omegadrone-that stalks-your footsteps." It certainly didn't sound like the Omegadrone Baxter had fought earlier, but he'd only spoken to that thing face-to-face, not on the radio. "You know-that the-children of-Omega march-on the-streets of-your world," came that cold, flat voice. "Look about-you at-the devastation-and know-the fate-of your-civilization. My master-has brought-you here-to test-your cleverness-and your-willingness to-embrace change. Will you-die a-slave as-so many-have before-you? Or will-you be-clever and-embrace your-new master?"

With the Wonderbus stealthed and hidden from electronic eyes, a small group of heroes joined Soldat for the short walk to the above bunker where Erde's Tronik was waiting along with its defenders. Soldat and Citizen kept exchanging uneasy glances as they went, their secret conversation privy to no one else there. There were advantages, even here and now, to being a machine. Soldat admitted, The bunker was more like a parking garage than a bunker for humans, row after row of military vehicles stretching off into the darkness on either side as the doors opened. At least the rain had stopped outside, Sharl mused, though as cold as it was getting that meant things would soon be ice. On the far side of the bunker, there was another scene of battle, this one still occupied by the victors: humanoid robots emblazoned with swastikas and the other symbols of the Reich, the smallest of which were the size of a man. The biggest towered as big as a van on its feet, ducking low inside the massive structure. The robots seemed to be working on something, stacking piles of crates into the backs of more vehicles, and though they looked suspiciously at the new arrivals with red, segmented mechanical eyes, they didn't speak. As the lights flickered on, old-fashioned incandescents up and down each aisle, illuminating the robots as they worked, a voice sounded from a wall-mounted speaker in an alien language. It was feminine, serious, and altogether familiar for the older members of Young Freedom. "" Switching to English, she went on. "Personally, I thought it was ridiculous to trust humans with our lives. But I suppose things might be different..." She stepped out of the wall, then, the primitive device built in showing where her holographic body was projected from a small row of cameras and lights near the intercom. "...in another reality." There was no mistaking that tall, rangy woman with the short black hair and gleam in her eye, even with the vivid scar across her face and faint German accent. She gave Citizen a Tronikian short bow, then smiled faintly. "Another Tronikman. Welcome, brother of my friend. It says good things for your Tronik if you're anything like your counterpart. Things must be...very good there." She shook her head. "So, let's see your quantum unit," Rogue told Citizen seriously. "If you are holding our city while we fight our war, I need to make sure it holds up." The two electronic aliens spoke in Lor for a moment before Sharl said, "I really should talk in English in front of them?...anyway, this will hold it all." Behind him, the giant robots were still stacking those crates, emblazoned with warnings in German, Japanese, and finally English. WARNING! BIOHAZARD! TAKE EXTREME PRECAUTIONS AGAINST CONTAGION. "This can hold all of your Tronik for years, long enough for it and mine to...make contact with each other. We still have to figure out how to do that," he admitted. "But that's a matter of culture, not technology. We can hold your Tronik, and all of you, where the Reich can't find you."
