Emerald Spider A check of the bulkhead revealed what she feared, she might be able to force the hatch or hack the electronic to open but it would take time and potentially raise the alarm. She didn't want to dodge what security they saved for the top floors, along with whoever was with Cellius for his heist. That meant that it was the air vent, like that old Christmas movie with the man in the vest! Not knowing what she was facing she quickly slipped into his costume, ironically with the inbuilt cooling vest (the belt could kick out some heat when working heavy) it was cooler than what she'd been wearing all day. Stashing it away in a nearby nook of the elevator shaft, good chance it wouldn't be inspected today, she was ready to go! "Yippee Ki Yay!" she whispered quietly to herself before plunging into the air vents.

Mz Grue Daphne entered dressed in a silvery white jumpsuit, from her own species it perfectly fitted her form, whatever shape she took. Being a test of them as heroes, whoever they face from a bewildering series of rumours, she was in her "natural" red-skinned Grue form, her distinctive (for a Grue) black hair tied back into a messy ponytail. Stepping into the Danger Room she gave a moment for the others to get used to her form, she'd never made a secret of her alien heritage but didn't often assume the visage in day-to-day school life. "Morning All!" she gave her classmates a little friendly wave "Are we ready to do this?"

Emerald Spider Peri quickly considered her options, up was less than a minute with her climbing abilities and she could see just how secure this bulkhead was. if not it was a rapid journey to the bottom and the server room. "Thank you for your help I will be sure to include you in my report!" she hauled herself onto the top of the elevator car and made one final check as to the situation. "When I close this hatch I'm going to release the emergency break, don't worry it'll deposit you gently to the lower floors" A few seconds later she popped her head back into the car "Oh and the company and this disguise I took are an actual company, so please make sure they receive their correct fee! I'll make sure your company gets a receipt and report so it all looks on the level." On closing the hatch she attacked herself to the wall with the SPDR Rig, before securing the elevator car with several strong quantum fillaments. Once she was happy that it was secured she released the emergency brake and gently lowered the car to the ground floor. It might have cost her a few minutes but she'd rather that Jen was safe in case trouble kicked off! That task done she made her way upwards to check out that bulkhead that protected the upper floors.

Centuria "Normally I'd avoid any property damage, especially with other people's stuff! But as this is a special occasion!" Looking around Kate picked up a small green car, one most definitely without a goblin underneath, and lifted it above her head. She took a moment to get the balance right, and after quickly checking she'd not catch any of her classmates, she threw the improvised missile toward some of the assembled foes!
-
Let's go with the classics, pick up one of the cars (one without a Goblin under obliviously) and throw it at some of the troopers. Take 10 as is the style, and try and take out a couple if I can!

Emerald Spider With a slight smile at her work she remembered the wise word of a famous engineer, the more they overthink the plumbing, the easier it is to stop up the drain. With the dimmed light she took the opportunity to click on the belt and glove of her costume, it wasn't perfect but it'd do for she was planning next. "I'm afraid I haven't been completely honest with you Jennifer!" with little time to act she clambered (normally) the side of the elevator cabin "I'm actually part of a Multi Corporate team looking at a string of heists using the same MO as here..." she lied smoothly "... I know they're in the building right now causing all this!" she waved her hand around for emphasis before trying the elevators escape hatch "I just need to know where they could be in the building to gain access to the servers up here. Time is of the essence Jennifer!"
-
Emerald Spider So he was, possibly with some help, somewhere in the building! She didn't know the building well enough to track them down, but Peri did know someone, and all she needed to do was slow them down a little! Shouldering her work bag she felt the belt of her SPDR Rig, it was a little risky but it might just buy her a few minutes. "Well then Mr Celius I'll just be on my way then!" she backed away from the digital face with what she hoped was just the right amount of respect. Then a few steps down the corridor, when the cameras didn't have a good few she discharged one of the powerful electromagnets that allowed her setup to manipulate the quantum range. The resulting EMP wouldn't be that powerful, enough to shut down the server temporally and maybe, she thought a little guilty, fry Jennifer's cell phone (hers was cheap enough not to matter). Talking of she jogged toward the elevator to see if the secretary could help her find these crooks before they recovered!

Emerald Spider Straight to a monologue that was good going! However, it didn't take a genius to suggest that something wasn't quite right. She did a quick scan of the room looking for anything that might be amiss, or potentially stop his access to the system. Unless they were planning to physically take the servers (which was an option) it was probably some kind of data link to the outside world. "Leave the room and say I saw nothing or you'll increase the temperature to 44°C. Got it!" Being an Engineer, plus just dealing with her family back in South Korea meant she was used to converting between the two. And she was wondering why someone would consider what was an average summer day in Emerald City (if like her you were dressed for the weather) a serious threat to evacuate a building!
-
Emerald Spider She'd felt something was off since entering the building but had just figured that it was dealing with normal bureaucratic corporate shenanigans. Now it seemed that it was something super related after all, and she was in the one location where she couldn't easily change into her Emerald Spider persona. So trying her best to hide her features from the screen, she answered the request while acting somewhat naturally. "I'm... I'm just here to repair the air conditioning!" at least a little of the shock wasn't completely an act "Who would you be?"
-
Emerald Spider "It's similar in my business, though mostly from customers my guys are pretty chill!" Maybe it was because she'd fallen for working for a supervillaious organization but all this centralisation screamed megalomaniacal control freak, though to be fair that was a lot of upper management MO as well! For now, she decided not to load all this on Friz... Jennifer, a couple of simple breakers to share the load and they'd never have a problem like this again, which was what she'd put in her report. "Won't be long and this will all be sorted out good and proper!" with a final wave to Jen she made her way to this vaulted server room.
-
Starshine It hadn't taken a genius, even with her slightly janky history knowledge, but it was nice to know why Centurion was a no-show here. Not that it made anything better in the here and now. Rosalind had romantic notions of finding this world's Bracelet and doubling her power, but that would take the one thing that they didn't have right now... time! "If you want someone to stay behind and play you sick little games, I'll stay! But not before you send everyone back to our own Earth, I'm not that green!" It was probably a fruitless gesture, but she had to at least try and see if she could save her friends, new and old.
-
Emerald Spider Peri resisted the urge to make a quip about Henry or engage in gossip. Thanks to her quipping alter ego she was much more comfortable with such things, there were some things you didn't do to maintain some sense of professional decorum. "Well now that Mr Walking HR discussion has given us his permission..." well okay maybe a little bit of snark as a treat "... shall we go take a look at sorting all this out?" Relatively speaking this was going pretty well, and in her (other) line of work that made her slightly nervous...
-
Emerald Spider It didn't take long to check the entire system over, Peri had done this thousands of times before after all. She even took a few seconds extra before going to find Mz Frazzled the Secretary, just long enough that non-experts to figured you'd done the job just thoroughly enough. She remembered some show or something talking about multiplying times by a factor of three or something to help them look good. "The good news is there's no damage so I can have the system running in a matter in a matter of minutes..." she told her chaperone "... the bad news is that it will keep shutting down unless we reset the computer environmental control. So that's the next place we go!" That was the problem with tech boys (and girls) they were so enamoured with all their fancy toys they never thought of a simple manual bypass so the air would keep flowing. She'd add it to the report (with a small fee) that they'd most likely never read.

I have them as Crafts rather than Knowledge, she's more of a hands-on kinda person! Electronics: 1d20+15=26 and Mechanical: 1d20+15=31

Emerald Spider Peri made a note of cameras and dead zones as she followed various, being a hero was similar to being a thief in some ways. Made harder by having to pay some attention to the person(s) in front of her. She was just glad that she'd dressed comfortably, as in not wearing her costume under her clothes. She was sure you could do it in chilly Freedom but it was not an option EC during the summer! "When did the system start to go wrong?" she picked up the pace so as not to be left behind "I know that kind of why I'm here..." she smiled knowing it was a common retort to such questions "But it might help me to get things running as quickly as possible, which I'm sure would be a relief to everyone!"

Emerald Spider Even though things had cooled a little from high summer things were still hot and business was booming, people always needed their air conditioning servicing or repairing. So much so that it was all hands to the pump and Peri had drawn the short straw of KessKorp. They paid well but they were a pain in the ass to deal with, throwing their (quite impressive) weight around to get just what they wanted from even a tiny company as hers. Still, a job was a job so she changed from her suit to a much more comfortable set of denim overalls, with her more important costume hidden in the bottom of her work bag just in case. Deftly working her way through the protestors and workers to make her way to the front doors. "Hi, I'm here to fix your air conditioning!" Peri flashes her badge at the security guard

The Immutable Betsy Brooks Betsy gave a little mock bow "Good to know I'm making an impression, obviously darling I've heard of you too! Beware the devil woman, they say, She's gonna get you, they wail..." She looked pleased for a few seconds before with a sigh adding "No, I guess that's really before your time, and terrible music to boot!" with barely a pause she added "Though before we throw rock salt or silver sixpences or whatever, even when making that oh-so-cool kah-chunk sound, let at least try and find a less violent solution! After all, there'll be, however so competent, children watching!" she made a sweeping gesture to finish up her less than-serious comment.
-
Centuria The problem with such famous parents meant Kate figured she'd get special attention and wanted to get to know her before the truth got out (and rumours had already been bouncing around). Though most here seemed to be from other places, but still she wanted to avoid that for just a smidge longer. "Kate, just Kate for now!" she smiled "Let's see what legally allowed trouble we're going to get ourselves into!" As pep talks go it wasn't the best, but that's what they were here for after all!
-
Starshine Glowing, literally and figuratively, thanks to her last attack Rosaling flew down and floated above the ragtag team of heroes. Things weren't going great but maybe, just maybe they'd be able to pull off something like a victory. She wasn't the most confident most of the time, but it was either bluffing or she'd arrive at Terminus decades before she'd even been born! "Well if things are that cut and dry I'm sure you won't mind telling us just who you are, and just how you've arranged for Centurion to be a no-show?"
-
Centuria Kate wasn't a vain person but she spent a few moments examining her uniform in the mirror. It was weird that the uniform resembled that of her family legacy, though she'd learned the reason quite young (and wondered if something similar had happened in her home dimension). One day she might even wear the costume herself, though her mom didn't seem inclined to retire anytime soon! So until then, Kate guessed she'd had to make do and make this thing her own, throwing on a Short Gold Jacket over the blue uniform symbolic of the breastplate her family worse, or at least that was her thinking. She wasn't as quick as some, but fast enough to not worry about being late as she arrived at to join the other for this test. "This is our first time, so they're bound to go easy on us right?"

The Immutable Betsy Brooks "When I popped here on a whim I didn't expect to have to take a ticket!" with a grin Betsy lept from her convertible "Or we darlings about to have an impromptu team-up?" her British accent might be more cut glass than normal She'd been making her way to New York to catch up with an old friend, after business in Freedom City, when she'd caught news of this strange event only a few miles from this church. And she'd figured she could pop in and have a quick peek and still be in town in time for cocktails! Not all demons were demonic, it was like most things complicated, and it never hurt to see if everyone was getting a fair shake at justice. And churches didn't bother her despite her half-vampire heritage, much to the chagrin of several Nun at catholic schools she'd been sent to! "I'm the Immutable Betsy Brooks, a pleasure to meet you all!"
