With a slight smirk the young prince shook his head, "Yes and I only had to practice thrice as long to manage it." he replied as he stood to join his sister in greeting their, guests? Perhaps allies would be a better term, it would not be in the interest of good hospitality to take a guest on the mission they were about to embark. He stood an axacting three steps behind his twin as she greeted the new arrivals, "We will begin the final briefing in transit." he added as explanation and turned to lead the way toward the plane hopefully before the older and more experienced heroes could see the nervousness in his eyes. He took a final steadying breath and quickly stepped into the transport to begin to call up what intel they had on the target location on the holodisplays.

I'll take the bruise as well. Not like Phalanx's been sitting it out till now.

Hovering just off the ground, costume pitted and stained by soot and worse from a hundred skirmishes and rescues throughout the last four days, Phalanx scanned the surrounding streets for danger as the Furion arrived. Phalanx focused on the messenger's words and frowned deeply. "Worse they may be fighting over something of greater value." his words a dire rumble as he peered off toward Lonely Point his vision cutting across distance and obstruction with equal ease. Why Taarvon would challenge Steelgrave here and now suggested stakes they were not fully aware of to this invasion. The battle itself was obscured to even his sight but the approach alone was beyond treacherous. "Swarms of drones, heavy drones, ground is crawling with those poor souls bound to service." the paragon offered with a heavy sigh at the sight of the Omegadrones and proles surrounding the base where Taarvons shadows and minions hid the fight from him. "We can ill afford to let them prepare or gather their defenders in force." he suggested and looked to his fellow heroes. "We'll need to punch a hole through the guardians." Phalanx suggested looking to Gaian Knight who had perhaps inadvertently volunteered to be that battering ram. "Then strike Steelgrave and Taarvon quickly, before the drones can close in." It was perhaps not a complex plan, and perhaps suicide in the end. Even if they did defeat the villains they'd be surrounded and desperately outnumbered. "But we buy time." hopefully enough for those around the world and beyond to close the portals and seal prime from the predations of the Terminus once more.

Hmm. I could bring sandman there but I'm in two threads already so if there's any interest from someone not already in on the action I'll step aside obvs.

Kamau sat just inside the hanger legs crossed as he once more went over his armor and gear carefully removing any elements that might be disabled by or worse interfere with the energies of the Singing Hills. "It will be like those hunts when we were young." he remarked to his sister as he worked free the daka power pack for his helmets com system. "Just us and our skills and the finest in analog tools." he grinned hefting one of the exquisitely crafted marungu before sliding the club into the clasp at the small of his back. Pulling the weighted gauntlets of his suit on he stood and tucked his helmet under one arm. "It will be soon now?" he was not precisely impatient but he was rapidly running out of things to triple check in his personal kit, if they waited much longer he'd have to start on HER kit and that never went well.

I'm up for throwing Red Lynx into a dakana thread. Or if it melds better with bringing in outsiders I could use Ace. WHatever works for your idea.

I'd like to get Phalanx into one of the dustups with the heavies. I have some thoughts for a Claremont thread if there is interest, I'll see what sign ups look like.

"The White Lion is ever forward thinking and prepared to make at ease our visitors I am certain." Kamau replied with a polite nod to the Emirs query. "If Dakana is to take it's place on the stage of nations should it not be with a hand outstretched in friendship?" he inquired perhaps a subtle weighing of the factional unrest roiling beneath the surface of Dakanan politics. He watched hte Emir with care fully aware the man held more interest in his clans power and prestige than the broader politics but with his alliance and contacts outside the borders of Dakana he was well positioned to take advantage of whatever steps the nation took into the wider world. "There are dangers in a small nation no matter the strength of its ruler and technology stepping out in aggression would you not agree Mrs. al-Darsah?" he asked looking to where the not so subtle Monsoon stood apart.

Alright they return fire as she pops out and they ... Miss

Yea I think the legacy story in alot of ways is here is more about finding a name and place for oneself outside of the shadow of the forebearer. Ties in nicely to Ashleys history with the raven too and perhaps her eventual rise as patriot 2 electric boogaloo. So yea I think an overarching plot less about losing the legacy more about defining your place in it. At least for the legacy type characters. The other opportunity we kinda have is a bit of the fish out of water as a lot of the characters aren't' from around here or otherwise stand out even among claremont students with teh turtle time ageing and the not actually 16 secrect service agent. And like Thev said side trips out to more globetrotting type adventures than usual.

Summer vignette? Summer Vacation! I mentioned my intention to run a possibel road trip thread for Kimos move to Emerald city and it was mentioned the idea might make a good vignette. So yea. Road trips, Camping, travel to exotic locales etc. What is summer vacation for your character or are you more the Staycation type?

I'm going to be moving Kimo (Kanunu) to Emerald city as his base of operations and was thinking it would be a good opportunity to have some snapshots of events and heroics across the country on his travels. So if 1-2 people are interested in road-tripping across the country with a perpetually late surfer in his van let me know and any ideas of highlights along the way that would be of particular interest.

Looking down at Alex with concern Mike shook his head softly, And we'll make sure they get to be. He assured her his touch on her thoughts a stalwart vow. He looked out across the gathered throng rapidly sorting through the hundreds of conversations listening for signs of something out of the ordinary for these events something to hint at anything more sinister than the fearful proclamations of the frightened and confused attendees. They are frightened, and easily led astray by that fear. He repeated back to her the mantra she'd told him so many times when they were younger facing adults uncertainties and fears about the burgeoning powers of their charges. We'll show them a better way and in time they will understand. His thoughts carried both the weight of the responsibility he felt for doing just that as well as the unassailable confidence that in the end the good hearted people would win out over fear and doubt.

<"Family always comes first of course."> Kamau replied to his sister under his breath as he stepped forward to formally thank the Emir for hte ceremony. He wasn't sure what business of the House of Typhoon involved their guest, though he'd be sure to try and find out more. The formalities concluded Kamau moved among the Emirs court with practiced ease affirming the ties tenuous as they may be betwixt their peoples as was the purpose of the ceremony. <"We may as well await her business concluding."> he answered with a small shrug, <"There is good will yet to be fostered here enough to explain our long absence from the capitol."> he assured her and only looked brief askance at the highly non-traditional jacket though in truth the people of the Crocodile may as well see what the new White Lion brought with her to the position sooner rather than later.

Mike stood shoulders hunched and head stooped, almost as if against the chill late winter weather though despite the light hunter green cardigan he didn't feel the chill at all. He'd made an effort when he heard about these sorts of events to be near at hand ever since the incident at AEON. Alex and those kids, 'kids' not even ten years his junior to be honest, had handled that episode with minimal collateral damage. But it was clear there were some TEMS affected that took a more violent opposition to this rhetoric, he wanted to be close just in case. Hands stuffed in the pockets of his Khaki dockers he looked every inch the uncertain school teacher not wanting to be associated with such virulent hate but curious about it none the less. He'd heard the speeches enough times to know by now the reasons, and he couldn't argue there wasn't validity in part. The power he and his kind shared were terrifying the hands of evil. But the powers were just powers, the people behind them no more or less evil than any other segment of the population. He apologized as a an exuberant devotee to the cause bumped into him and took a step back, "ahh sorry about that didn't mean to be in the way." only to be quickly dismissed as the man went on to explain to his companion hoe the peaker today really 'Got It.' on a level the government and those nerds at ASTRO labs that claimed t-babies were not a hazard never could.

APPROVED!

I am intrigued.

<"Much too late Honored White Lion."> Kamau replied with a small honest smile as he teased her lightly on her unexpected ascendancy. <"You are the one chosen and the one who Dakana needs."> he assured her honestly with some small amusement at her characteristic dismay at tradition interfering with her schedule. "You are as always a gracious host!" The prince cheered as the ceremony drew to a close, "The largesse and stamina of the crocodile tribe will not be forgotten." he assured both the Emir and his lady wife, a small protocoligorically correct dig using the technically correct term if not their preferred, a clue he had taken note of their gamesmanship in the timing of the event. He whispered a quiet warning to his sister, <"Monsoon is the sister of the Emirs wife."> he pointed out as he tried to read the relations in a glance with mingled success. <"And we are well ahead of our guests planned reception."> he pointed out as it seemed likely the young american had business here unrelated to her meeting with the White Lion and her brother. Tactfully he offered a gracious bow to both the Emirs wife and her sister, "Family should be together yes?" he suggested with a wide grin apeing clueless politeness. "We shall adjourn to answer the questions of your people and await your guests business being concluded." he suggested and nodded to Gian, "If you like we can offer transport to the palace when your business is complete." a note both that he took note she may have connections among the crocodile for the Emirs benefit and a chance for his sister to pester the American without the masks of protocol in the way.

Kamau stood beside his sister draped in the ceremonial garb of his station though just as surely masked by his facade of princely indulgence. <"Even minor offense would become major in the lands of the Crocodile."> he hushed in reply to his sisters query though he too was well aware time ran short. <"He will most likely keep up precisely to his allotted time."> he mused in an almost silent whisper counting upon his sisters keen hearing to pick up the supposition. Enough to cause discomfort and inconvenience though short of anything officially troublesome. Giving a small nod to is entourage to signal the Crocodiles entourage that their time here grew short he waited, outwardly patient, for a breakin the performans that he might thank the Emir and his wife for their hospitality and loyalty.

first dazzles area save dc 16 5 [1d20=1] Reflex vs dazzle DC 13 or 16 14 [1d20=10] Blinded by the light. Two fire covering fire at Jack before being blinded and get a 23 and a 29 so one hit and one miss unless Jack is dropping his defense for some reason. Neither can beat Jacks current impervious so the one that hits is reflected and takes that guy out. So down to 9 (8 if jack lets one hit him) and they are all blinded. Willow is up.

Alrighty Ardent is up.
