Jolan sat back after his sage advice and met Knight's sneer with a blank unamused stare but did not respond only silently observing for the time being. Terran humor it seemed was very, glandular, in content. It is a matter of practice. Fa'Rua assured Judy. Radio communications are based on variations of frequency and amplitude of the wave, like sound, with practice you may come to understand how to interpret a range of waveforms as you do language. Fa'Rua paused thoughtfully at the girls question and slowly shook her head, Not exactly. She reassured her. Stellarians are beings of pure energy, we do not know their method of reproduction if there in fact is one, but there are no records available to me of them expanding from a corporeal body. She was trying to be reassuring though was unsure how to explain how little even the Lor knew of the strange stellar beings. You are to my knowledge unique, possessed of the same energies as the Stellarians but enmeshed in a Terran matrix of flesh and blood. Body and spirit as one might be an explanation a remnant of a Stellarian left within your family and manifest within you, not DNA as they have none but some of that energy tied somehow to you. The Lor scout looked sadly down at the young woman and shook her head, Do not fear Ju'Deth, you have already mastered much just from what I have seen, you control the energies inside you they do not control you. She paused and decided on a new tact, When we were young my Brother knew things he could not have known, things yet to happen or those that he'd never been told of, He is a Mentat, Gifted with a sight into time itself. She pause to ensure that the young woman followed, He had to leave us to train, it was difficult and he missed our family, yet his training has allowed him to control what once came unbidden and to safely hone his skills. She smiled warmly, It is the same I think with your school and you have your sister right there with you looking out for you, You too can master what is inside you, you do not need fear.

I thought you might. Fa'Rua encouraged as she labored to keep the young terran engaged and focused on less unpleasant matters than the ongoing interrogation or the events of the night leading to it. I didn't have a grasp beyond the basics until I began flight training, The Lor admitted warmly, But there is a surprising amount one can learn from examining the EM spectrum given off and absorbed by a body in space, A surprising portion of my work of late is in such areas in our search for colony worlds after the incursion. Before the great war in space the scout corps had been more like frontier law enforcement and border interdiction. Now, now they sought out new homes for hte displaced, a return to their founding. I'm happy to let you pick my mind on such matters Ju'Deth, Though I feel you may have an inherent understanding that does not need such explanation. If the readings she'd gotten were correct at least. In the room with the prisoner Jolan remained impassive and still watching the interplay between agent and detainee with a flat affect. "The Lor Republic has a decades old relationship with several governing bodes of Terra." he pointed out squarely, "At least those who do not attempt to bypass technology interdictions." He'd done his homework on the Terran governments before arriving, and while the exact political schism behind the New Freedom bloc was not in his reports there were references to their relation with several prominent smugglers and arms networks in the republics fringes. He turned to Ashley, "I believe he remains confident that your civil protections will prevent harm to him." He looked Ashley over gauging her biomarkers and the way she carried herself and spoke with care before focusing on the man once more. "That would be in error sir, this agent is exhibiting several signs of stress that her interest is far from merely professional." he glanced to the other agents then leaned in to whisper carefully, "You attacked an individual that is not only her charge but also friend, she is quite personally invested and unlikely to hold to strict legalism in her pursuit of information." he nodded once more satisfied with his advice, "I recommend you answer her questions."

Beyond the initial assurances that the enemy had in fact both survived Judys assault and was a threat worthy of such she left the comforting of the young woman to Ashley who seemed much better prepared for such a conversation. She offered a small shrug, "Control before power is kinda the rule for mentats." she explained, "I got the first part at least." she joked still riding the adrenaline high of the fight and running battle. She was more collected by the time they reached the mansion once more. She looked over the kit that had been separated from the assailant trying to place any of it as off world in origin or if this was a local hire. She left any questioning to those better trained in such efforts. She did pause ot confirm the findings of the earlier scan with Jolan. For his part the Lor aesthetic stood by impassively observing the prisoners breathing and behavioral signals as he completed his scan. He took a step back to stoically observe, introductions could wait, he gestured for Ashley and her fellow agets to make what inquiries they may need. He'd concentrate on what went unsaid. If it came down to it he might be able to trace the mans timeline but such efforts were difficult to validate at best. As the agents moved into begin the interrogation Fa'Rua flashed a friendly smile to Judy trying to draw her slightly away and keep her focused on matters other than her attempted kidnappers. "That was quite the display." she whispered conspiratorially, "You also pick up signals?" she inquired and activated her suites narrow beam radio to try and send a transmission Judys direction.

Fa'Rua watched the thing fall from the back of the Dawg in pieces. She shook her head slightly as it bounced down the expressway and came apart. She'd faught grue remnants, Khanate super soldiers, the Communion, and pirates and smugglers of myriad species and not seen anything quite like it. Before she was knocked from her perch by a street sign or low overpass she folded the space between her and the interior of the Dawg and appeared in the backseat as Judy was pulled forward. She looked between Ashley and her charge trying to parse the relationship that seemed closer than bodyguard almost parental and released the seal on her visor to speak in her own voice rather than the mechanical drone of the suits systems. "Ju'Deth, Ashley speaks the truth." she assured the young woman, "If not for your efforts that," she paused searching for the word in english, "Thing. Would still be attempting to harm us and take you." The Lor explained her attention still split with following their surroundings wary for further pursuit. "Against such a foe you did as you must." she tried to reassure somewhat uncomfortably not knowing the girl well enough to offer support that wasn't at least somewhat hollow. She looked then with concern to Ashley, "Are you certain that is wise? They knew of the meeting place." she warned not holding the trust Ashley did in the system.

The filters on her visor cut most of the frequencies Daystars gamma burst emitted but even with the protection her vision was dancing with the afterburn of the stellar energies. She was not surprised it had cleanly seared the head from the attacker, not with an energy spike like that setting off environmental alarms all over her HUD. That it was still moving after was much less expected. She let out a loud curse in her native tongue and used the momentum of Watchdogs latest maneuver to roll onto the roof of the Dawg hooking her feet into the crevices of the rack atop it as she stood and drew aim at the still advancing foe. With steely aim she sighted down the barrel waiting for just he right moment to light up the night once more with violet laser light as she sunk a powerful shot right into the hole where it's head had recently been.

1d20+10=30 So that's a DC 30 Toughness save then.

"Bogey on our six." Fa'Rua announced as the glider came in hot ducking tight against the side of the Dawg as the bursts of blaster fire scorched the side of the surprisingly sturdy ground conveyance. She might have been watching a few too many period pieces in her attempts to understand Terran culture better. As the armored enemy latched onto the back window the Lor scout swayed in time with the swerves of Watchdogs evasive maneuvers carefully lining up her shot before releasing a tight burst of scorching laser directly into the armored chest of the new assailant. The tight pattern scored the armored plate but didn't manage to penetrate nor knock him free of his grasp. "Might have to shake him loose." she warned and tightened her grip on the Dawg in preparation of more chaotic maneuvers.
-
Dex Check: 1d20+5=25 And she'll make her attack roll 1d20+10=20 DC 25 if that hits.
-
thats plenty
-
Notice Check: 1d20+10=29
-
1d20+8=19 Not good enough. His mind is yours. Tiff You can sneak in on past a group of mercs taking an unauthorized smoke break with a stealth check or similar. Gonna give tiff a lil bit longer to post and then hopefully wrap it up.

Infinity felt the surge of her brothers precognitive warning just as the micromunitions landed at her feet and erupted in an explosion. Acting on pure instinct she bent the space around her funnelling the bulk of the force around her and letting the rest carry her back into the wall uninjured. Not waiting for the smoke of the blast to clear her scout rifle snapped to her shoulder and she drew steady aim on the hovering foe. A blistering burst of laser light spat forth as she squeezed the trigger catching them full in the chest and sending them spinning out of control if perhaps only briefly. Seeing Watchdog and Daystar safe at the vehicle she took a step and was at their side. "What kind of amatuer fires rockets at the target." she grumbled with a shake of her head. She looked over Watchdog and nodded to the driver seat, "Your ride why don't you do the honors." She advised with a grin and mounted the sideboard, "I'll make sure they keep their distance."
-
Yeeeaaa We'll be rerolling that then. 1d20+10=19 (+10 for reroll) = 29 Standard action: Try and shoot the flying baddie. 1d20+10 =24 DC 25 Toughness save if that hits. Move action: TP to the car.
-
toughness 1d20+10=13 This is a targeted aoe for a rocket? Or is there a reflex save?

Sagrado Corazon stared for a long moment at the weird clipped speech short dark and angsty gave and raised a brow beneath the domino mask he wore. "Well they say self awareness is key." he agreed and looked to the others with a small shrug, "But he's not wrong, this city is hungry for heroes and we'll need to stay in front of the media." Betsy's very good point about better locales for such discussion did not fall on deaf ears and he lapsed into silence for a moment and nodded to Cheval, "A set of themed stencils and a bank of spotlights?" he suggested eyes twinkling with mirth. He dug a pen from a drawer and scrawled his number on a napkin offering it to the steely hero, "Though you didn't have to go through all this to get my number." he offered with a wink. He nodded agreement with Torque, "Persephone is also going to be on the mayers good side so that should help." he pointed out and offered a backhanded, "And the big mom energy will put the the public at ease we're not all reckless kids."

Fa'Rua watched as the blazing energy pulse jolted Ashley surprised she'd weathered it so well. There was more to this terran than expected, and good thing given the threats she apparently faced. "Unlikely they know I'm here, almost no terran systems could detect a man sized object in re-entry at that speed." she pointed out a bit cockily, "May work out to our advantage." She added as she followed close on Judy nudging the first daughter toward the wall of the house to keep herself between the enemies and the young woman. She raised the rifle and fired off a burst of emerald laser light in the direction of the the attacker in flight. The shot went wide but might at least draw attention to the greater threat she hoped. "Where's our exit?" she asked hurriedly. They were very exposed out here and there was no telling if reinforcements were enroute for the attackers. "Not much room to maneuver here." The Lor pilot HATED being penned in.
-
Infinity will take a snap shot at the baddie flying over the back door as they exit. 1d20+10=14 Unlikely to be good enough.
-
Initiative: 1d20+5=15
-
As soon as the sound reached her ears Infinity crouched with a soldiers reflex. She however did not cast about for the source as most but tilted her head slightly as she felt out the space around them through her finely tuned spacial senses her eyes flaring with a violet fire as she engaged her powers. With a seamless motion she rolled her helm back into position and slid the sensor back into its housing before drawing her rifle. The energy weapon flared to life as her palm hit the grip the barrel extending and stock ratcheting out as she brought it to her shoulder. "Wait!" she hissed as she felt for any presence in that direction that shouldn't be there then when confident it was sufficiently secure nodded for Ashley to move. She followed walking backwards with surprising grace and no need to look where her next step would fall her scout rifle trained at the entrance on the far side of the room awaiting any enemies that might be foolish enough to reveal themselves. The infuriating calm with which her brother shared across their mental link that he was on his way spoke volumes of his own preternatural senses having forewarned him of this eventuality. "I have backup incoming, ETA... Something about crude Terran transport." she let out a sigh. "He'll be here as soon as possible."

Background and concept look good solid concept and straightforward build. Sheet should be formatted per https://www.freedomplaybypost.com/start/playguide_35/character-sheet-template-r3/ Primarily this is in the powers section where power names should be bolded, AP slots underlined, extras/flaws/feats/drawbacks should be italic etc. Native language should be included in skills. Immoveable provides +4 per ranks so that would be an additional +16 when applicable. Adding a + in front of the 16 should make that clear. Comprehend doesn't cover literacy standard so currently ARTHUR is only literate in their native language (english?) 1 more rank will make it literate in all languages. (Related a good complication for universal translators like this only earth/known languages, can speak spanish to tagalog to even Dakanan but not gal standard or Lor or Atlantean maybe up to you if it can heuristically translate language it's never been exposed to.) Danger Sense should have a sense type and a descriptor.

The Lor scout glanced to Ashley at the hesitation and sending away of the other agents. For a moment concerned she'd missed some subtle Terran cue that the other agents shouldn't know the reason of her visit and was relieved when it was Judy's concerns about her power instead. She offered a confident smile of assurance, "And as you may have noticed space if full of lights." she joked casually and hefted the device as Judy began to glow and dialed in the bands on the detector to focus in on the most likely stellarian spectra. "Yes just a few moments longer Ju'Deth." She replied as she pulled in the algorithm to filter for local and global background radiation. Holding up the scanner results for Ashley she glanced to judy, "You are doing great just a few moments longer." she encouraged and pointed to the initial results where results where the radio frequency signature of the stellarian home system adjusted for atmospheric interactions was displayed as a pale yellow underlay to the reading output from judy as the system filtered the readings down paring away the most likely interference and absorbance from terran sources to show what match might be unveiled. "I am piping the readings to the 'hoppers databanks for a more complete processing but these are the initial results." she whispered to Ashley and looked to the pretty Terran questioningly not sure how best to break the news of what they had uncovered to Judy.

Kam let out a soft sigh, "Of course she did." It wasn't surprising in the least and really on many levels wasn't even unreasonable. "Well I for one am not foolish enough to step amidst a disagreement betwixt the sisters smith." he shook his head bemused and shrugged, "While I don't doubt her desires lie in such a direction but with Leroy?" he laughed at the very thought, "He's hardly one for white picket fences and two point five kids." The Dakanan pointed out with a small laugh, "that's more what I'd expect from..." he paused as he considered what student might be so boring as that would fit, "Micah?" he shrugged, "He's a quiet one but seems the type, perhaps it's the reserved midwesternisms." He smiled to Lulu, "Well thank you much for the details shall be far easier to parse Leroys ramblings on the subject with such insight." Not for the first time Kam wondered at the Headmistress boarding the reserved Dakanan and gregarious New Atlantean together. It was on the surface quite the odd couple pairing, though they had more in common than was common knowledge perhaps.

I mean technically yea? 1d20+10=14 Orokos is not treating me well this thread

will save: 1d20+8=23 success intimidate: 1d20+8=15 failure by 9 He's sufficiently intimidated to spill about any questions asked but unlikely to be changing his wicked ways over this set back
