Trick-or-Treat!

[MarkK]

As he strained with the others, he looked to Hybrid.

"If it is about to explode or vanish, is there any way you can.. reach inside it to pull out some piece so that there is still something to work with for sake of investigation? Perhaps from the head?"

"Not with lifting it at the same time. Like trying to be hot and cold at the same time. They are kinda opposite." he replied to Emissary.

 

"I can phase into it if you think you can handle the load Old Man." Hybrid teased not knowing that technically he was older then the paragon. Way older.

"I will certainly try my best."

 

He looked thoughtful even as he moved to fly under the Mummy to support more of its weight directly, in the midst of Raindancer's winds, muscles straining as he yet pushed upwards.

 

"Oh.. is three really that old amongst your people? Nevermind, question for another time. Go quickly and good luck!"

Freedom Eagle was thoroughly gobsmacked by his mirror reflection in the face and body of a Grue, enough that it took him a moment to react to the changing circumstances of the mummy. "Lift it straight over the street," he urged the men lifting it, "in case you somehow lose hold..." A flap of his wings brings him into the air again, and he adds his own considerable flying strength to the effort. "And if it does disappear, let go before you go with it!"

Velocity watched as the guys started trying to lift the mummy/robot into the air as it had started glowing once more. Not really being able to help in the lifting endeavor, she began to look around to make sure no civilians were nearby, and that there might not be some sign of whomever might be behind this thing.

With all the heroes working together, lifting the giant mummy was easy. It continued to glow brighter as they rose high above the street. There was no heat accompanying the glow. All the heroes began to feel a distinct tingling sensation in their arms . . . until they felt nothing at all. They were gripping air as the mummy's remains first became insubstantial and then vanished altogether, leaving all the heroes empty-handed . . . except for Hybrid. He had a fist full of circuit board fragments and microchips from the mummy's head.

Down below on the street, the festival goers had begun to return to the street, watching the heroes at their work. Velocity search around a bit, but she couldn't see anyone obviously controlling the mechanical mummy.

[MarkK]

"Well done! Hopefully something can be discerned from what remains at Freedom Hall, or anywhere else with a usable laboratory."

[congyoglas]

"You can't beat Freedom Hall," says Freedom Eagle, his voice changing a little. "All right, let's get it to the Hall, and we can go from there. Have you met Psuedo?" he asks Hybrid curiously, turning to wing his way towards the old League headquarters right there in the air.

Velocity gave a wave to the people that were starting to come back into view and the looked up as the mummy robot vanished. Hearing the others mention heading to Freedom Hall she called up. “Okay, see you all there."

 

With that she was off in a blur of motion and a *crack* as she broke the sound barrier. Skidding to a stop in front of Freedom Hall a few seconds later, she flipped out her cellphone and dialed Cory's number. She needed to give him some excuses to give her a bit more time to look into what was going on.
