Hell Comes To Missouri (OOC)

Cavalier can tell that this beacon's disaster signal was activated by exposure to an incredibly powerful psychic entity not part of the Grue Collective - it's the kind of alarm that would be triggered by encountering a Grue Arcane cell, the Overmind of Luyten 726-8A-Alpha, or some other powerful force. There are probably a very few psychics he's familiar with on Earth with that kind of power, but none likely to be so obvious with their powers as to trigger this kind of alarm.

http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/4178135/ = 14, natural 1 for Irons' Bluff. 

 

Miss Americana can tell that this story is totally bullcrap, particularly the part about her mom being helpful in a crisis situation and making sacrifices for her family. She can also tell that Irons is, however, legitimately concerned about the Evans' family and their situation, he really means that talk about how everybody in the family should get together during this crisis - it's obviously deeply emotionally important to him.

 

With that natural 1, she can tell that Irons is hesitating as he calls Mrs. Evans by that name; at one point he calls her Ma and corrects himself.

Casey Jones goes on 18

Stormchaser goes on 15 

 

Casey Jones: 18 

Stormchaser: 15 

Cobalt Templar: 9

Cavalier: 3 

 

Minus their usual teamwork, the Barnstormers don't do a good job of supporting each other.

slowed by his condition, Casey Jones misses his punch at Cavalier. 

Stormchaser tries to just punch him with her power punches 

http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/4182286/ = 31! With an All-Out Power Attack. 

28 and it goes over his defense by enough to get the full +4 from autofire, so that's a DC 32 Tou save for Cavalier. Ouch!

Free Action: Switch Holy Fire Control to Giant's Strength.

Move Action: Get up in Stormchaser's busnax.

Free Action: All-Out Attack 5. Defense now +2, Attack +12.

Standard Action: Melee Attack! 13.

Free Action: Hero Point Reroll! 14, but with the reroll that's 24. I think that hits, so, DC 32 Toughness Save!

You both realize (even CT, with the help of one of the scientists) that proximity to Grue technology, in a very small number of people, can induce temporary mutations - the space-warping powers of Grue biotech can cause people to temporarily acquire the superpowers that they 'want', in much the same way that Meta-Grue can be infused with the power of various superheroes. Sometimes the Grue use this as a morale-breaker, making the enemy think that there are shapeshifters within their own ranks, but it looks like the mutation effects of the space warp parts happened to play to some powerful psychic potential of Peter's, something that didn't show up on the typical scans. 

What happened to him can thus probably be cured; or he can learn to live with it as other mutants have.
