Avenger Assembled Posted February 27, 2011 Author Share Posted February 27, 2011 As they went to work monitoring Protectron and Sharl's transmissions, Miss Americana and Dragonfly heard a sound from the distance: a very strange, peculiar sound. It was a distant sound, too, but clearly audible. With Miss Americana's amazing robo-hearing, she was able to pinpoint the sound to the abandoned motor court. Link to comment
Fox Posted February 27, 2011 Share Posted February 27, 2011 Ranged Attack Roll vs. Commander Harrison (blast) (1d20 + 9=13) Hrumble grumble.....on the oh-so-low chance that hits, it's a DC24 Toughness save. Link to comment
Avenger Assembled Posted February 27, 2011 Author Share Posted February 27, 2011 That misses. Link to comment
Electra Posted February 27, 2011 Share Posted February 27, 2011 Miss A is going to try and assess the situation. Medicine roll=24 Link to comment
Fox Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 Dragonfly's considering (humanely) hooking a brain-reading device up to some lab animals and using them as antennae to pick up the psychic broadcast, and then translating that into something more intelligible that could be put through speakers and a television (probably by peeking at the parts of their brain that they're using to try to 'translate' the incoming mental communique, and using that to map what parts of the signal are basically audio and what parts are basically video, etc). Imperfect, but comic book rubber science, woo. Basically, depending on what's required (it's a weird thing!), an invention that's either Communication (Mental), or Super-Senses (Mental, Acute, MAYBE Accurate if it's affordable), at whatever ranks or with whatever extras (or whatever hand-waving) AA feels is necessary.

Avenger Assembled Posted March 10, 2011 Author Share Posted March 10, 2011 Sure, that'd be viable. Work up a construction and we'll see what it costs. Link to comment
Fox Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 Iteration one! It's a weird thing. Weird, weird thing. Super-Senses 6 (Mental [Accurate 4, Acute 2], Extras: Affects Others, Feats: Feature [translated to video/audio data]) (goat technology) [13pp] So, hook a couple animals (goats!) into a brain-scanning harness, and use them to (a) tap into and ( triangulate the source of the psychic signal. Technically (and as far as I can tell) you only need Acute to listen in on an otherwise private Communication, but ehn. Completeness! As a standard invention:DC23 design check [auto-success; (13 hours base) / (100 quickness) = 7 minutes, 48 seconds] DC23 craft check [auto-success; 52 hours] Haha, no. Yeesh. Extras! As a jury-rig:DC28 craft check [would have to roll, or get at least a one-rank aid other boost from somebody; 1 minute, 18 seconds] With either Miss A or Protectron lending a brief hand (for an aiding action), it'd be auto-success, no rolls necessary.

Fox Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 Dragonfly coughs up an HP. Let it be so! Link to comment
Avenger Assembled Posted March 13, 2011 Author Share Posted March 13, 2011 Harpoon Missile is headed for the Lab, fired by the possessed crew of a vessel currently docked at Lonely Point. It'll be a Blast 12 (Area: Burst) effect. There are nine rounds till it reaches the Lab, eight rounds till it reaches Protectron and Sharl at their current location. Sharl: 8 Link to comment

Avenger Assembled Posted March 13, 2011 Author Share Posted March 13, 2011 Miss A: 25 Dragonfly: 23 Protectron: 17 Sharl: 8 Miss A is up Link to comment
Avenger Assembled Posted March 13, 2011 Author Share Posted March 13, 2011 Since Gina needs to stay connected to the robot in this scenario, have an HP for your Cyberkinesis being tied up here. Link to comment
Electra Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 Miss A is going to attempt to datalink to the control station at Lonely Point and redirect the missile harmlessly into the ocean. Unfortunately, she cannot technically do that because Gina can't abandon her connection with Miss A without risking losing herself to the Mind. AA has ruled that's worth an HP, so she's going to spend this round getting ready to try and stunt the crap out of her cyberkinetic powers next round. Link to comment
Fox Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 Dragonfly takes off for the hangers as fast as her legs and teleport will take her, so that she can get a good view of the missile and stunt the following if Miss A fails: Dimensional Pocket 5 (2500lbs; Extras: Range 2 [Perception]) [20/20] Link to comment
Dr Archeville Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 Protectron flies all-out towards it, getting 1,000 feet closer. Link to comment
Avenger Assembled Posted March 13, 2011 Author Share Posted March 13, 2011 Sharl does the same, getting 400 ft closer. Lousy slow Flight 1. Okay, new round. The missile will impact with Protectron's location in 7 rounds and with the Lab in 8. Miss A is up. Link to comment
Electra Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 Miss Americana has 26 pp in her Energy Systems array. She's going to stunt: Datalink 10 (Earth to Moon) (Extra: Machine Control) (PFs: Rapid 5 (10m), Subtle) [26 pp] and use that to try and take over the missile's guidance systems and send it into the ocean. Skill Mastery Computers gives me a 42 against the guidance system. Link to comment
Avenger Assembled Posted March 14, 2011 Author Share Posted March 14, 2011 That'll easily let you take the missile. Give me a Pilot check to see exactly where it goes. Link to comment
Electra Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 Ha,got an 18! So there, vengeful GM of doom! :argh: Link to comment
Avenger Assembled Posted March 14, 2011 Author Share Posted March 14, 2011 Electrolux: 19 Blue Wall: 23 Link to comment
Electra Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 Miss A is going to spend this turn attempting to entirely disable the missile launching capability of the Lonely Point facility. Again with the skill mastered 42 Computers check. Good enough? Link to comment
