N/A Posted September 9, 2009 Share Posted September 9, 2009 Here's my suggestions on dealing with the lie detectors: Psyche: Scanning surface thoughts should definitely let Psyche know which parts of the story are true and which are not. Very specifically. I'd prefer it if she not figure out the "whole truth" without a mind probe. "Zöe/Zephyr" is her real name. Her arrival really has surprised her as much as it did anyone else. She doesn't think she's from a parallel Earth, but wherever she is from, coming here gives her a very similar "fish out of water" feeling. And she really is a native of Earth and Freedom City specifically, somehow. She is not your sister, but the idea isn't a total fabrication. She's related to you in some way. She did go to Claremont. She was a member of Next-Gen. But not with you guys. Though she truly does know you all personally in some way. The scenario she described with the Crime League and the destruction of Freedom City is completely true. The explosion really did kill just about everyone she ever knew, including her entire family. She really did watch people she cared about die. When she talked about "guys who could take a bazooka to the face getting atomized," she was thinking of Mike. She really doesn't know why she's still alive. She thinks it was some unforeseen effect of her super-speed reacting to the sudden release of strong nuclear force. Edge: He should have a general idea at which points she's telling the truth and at which points she's either telling a half-truth or outright fabricating, but not to the level of detail that the telepath can glean. If you guys don't feel like this is enough info, I'm fine with the Hero Points getting passed around. Link to comment

angrydurf Posted September 9, 2009 Share Posted September 9, 2009 Also Readying an actio to try and restrain Erin if she's gonna take Zoes head off. Ya know just in case Link to comment
N/A Posted September 9, 2009 Share Posted September 9, 2009 For the psychics and lie-detectors keeping along at home, everything Zöe just said was true. Not "universally true," but "she believes everything she's saying" true. Link to comment
N/A Posted September 10, 2009 Share Posted September 10, 2009 I can't believe not a single one of you ungrateful little bastards has so much as said "Hey, thank you for coming to our aid and beating up the bad guys." Jerks. :P Link to comment

N/A Posted September 11, 2009 Share Posted September 11, 2009 If Wander is willing, Zephyr will use Extra Effort for the following power stunt off her Time Control Array: Speed 3 (Rank 9 Total [5,000mph], Extras: Affects Others [9 ranks]) [12PP] And she'll burn her Hero Point to stave off the Fatigue. Again, only if Wander is willing. Link to comment
N/A Posted September 11, 2009 Share Posted September 11, 2009 ...Why ya gotta break ballz, AA? Alright. She'll burn HP/EE for this stunt instead: Speed 5 (250mph per Move Action, Feats: Selective, Extras: Affects Others, Area) [11PP] That includes her Speed ranks outside the array. She's just stunting the extras. 250mph per Move Action gives us an effective cruising speed of 500mph. Worst-case scenario, we should hit the campus in about 2 minutes. Link to comment
Avenger Assembled Posted September 11, 2009 Share Posted September 11, 2009 Edge spends an HP on Zephyr's behalf so she doesn't have to. Why? Because we're a team. ;) Link to comment
