Quinn Posted February 24, 2011 Posted February 24, 2011 Ok, this is an idea I had knocking around for a long time, figure now'd be as good a time as any to bring it up. Push has been on the run for a long time, but he's been considering the fact that he had a very solid support base back in Gear City (Michael Sharpe at Lazarus Auto Repair, a contact in the police force, the inhabitants of Jericho Street, etc). Unfortunately, while here he's still met a ton of heroes, he's still basically flying solo, and without resources or the ability to track down criminals before they act. And he knows a lot of heroes tend to do the same, reacting rather than acting. So, in the interests of building a stronger community amongst the local metahumans, he's calling up a bunch of names he's collected over 2-3 months of being active, with the intent of forming sort of a "neighbourhood watch". The general idea isn't that of a conventional "supergroup", like the Knights of Freedom or the Freedom League, but more of a support base for the less well-known, and more independent or unconventional heroes. A large group of heroes who all have the same speed-dial list, pooling resources, alerting another hero if a case they're tracking has wound up in that particular character's turf and so on, basically working independently but with a list of known elements who they can call up in a pinch. There wouldn't be a communal headquarters or team vehicles yet (though if there's any tech-heads, we might get special communicators). A networking meeting, essentially. So, who'd be in?
quotemyname Posted February 24, 2011 Posted February 24, 2011 I'm pretty sure that was nearly exactly the basis of the Interceptors team. Has push ever considered joining our ranks? I mean why start another similar team and compete for membership. We should just grow the already established one, yes?
Dr Archeville Posted February 24, 2011 Posted February 24, 2011 Dok would not allow Push on the Interceptors at this time.
Quinn Posted February 24, 2011 Author Posted February 24, 2011 Not a problem, that's not Push's scene. Anyone other volunteers?
GranspearZX Posted February 24, 2011 Posted February 24, 2011 Crusader might be interested. Of course, he doesn't know Push at all... but I'm sure we could fix that.
Quinn Posted February 25, 2011 Author Posted February 25, 2011 Ok, in the interests of collecting a wider spectrum, I'm rewording what I said earlier. Push is going to start spreading the word out through people he knows that he's holding a meeting for any interested heroes, preferably ones who work solo. The point of it is to swap contacts, emails, phone numbers, social networking for heroes. Collect some new contacts, spread a wide network amongst the lesser-known vigilantes, find people who can help in situations that you can't, that kind of thing. Any hero is welcome, even if they heard it from a friend-of-a-friend-of-a-friend.
quotemyname Posted March 2, 2011 Posted March 2, 2011 You know what? Now that I think about this, it's right down Eddie's alley. He's got contacts well enough, but he's looking for some new friends. Count me in.
