Delta looked at the odd speaking gentlemen, a small quirk of his lips all the indication that he found the manner of speech oddly amusing,"Not only less inflammatory, but also more likely to keep us intact! My scouting doesn't get us caught...." And he proceeded not to move from the spot he was at, instead one red and black metallic hand reached down to tap at his belt and a series of small drones launched, hovering in front of his face and for a few moments shining light between his eyes and the drones that were small spheres, similarly colored to him and then they shimmered out of sight. Clearly using a similar cloaking device before they zipped off and into the ship images started to flash before Delta's eyes, looking like a multicolored hologram of many screams showing him the interior of the ship as the drones zapped through. Diodes flashed along his skull and obvious cybernetic eyes as they deciphered what was going on in all the rapidly moving images.

Rolling to save, going to use HP if I fail...and fail so reroll coming. And this time I get 22, with Evasion no damage And shooting time: Hits AC 22, DC 28. power attacking again

Years of combat experience had left Delta with reflexes that many superheros would be jealous of, and the starfishing Ether left no doubt in Delta's mind what was about to happen. Leaping to one side he landed in a slide that got him behind one of the walls that crumbled no sooner was he behind it, but he was unharmed. Still cloaked he lowered the barrel of his arm cannon, the lenses still set to one of the higher damage settings and another blast of Nihilus Energy speared the air, cutting through the air towards Professor Ether as Delta kept his silence, he was not going to reveal his position if he could snipe from hiding and keep chipping away at the powerful foe!

Chromiunm, who was of the opinion this time could be much better spent examining Sekhmet was more than a little confused by all the talking going on. A lot of it was alluding to things that he was unaware of, and more importantly didn't understand because of all the Egyptian ranks, ceremonies and other things the new guests seem to be throwing in had him shaking his head when Anna spelled out at least part of the problem. He let out a chortle of amusement that this had even become a topic and then shook his head,"What in blue blazes is going on? Other than what Anna so kindly told us not to talk about there is a lot of double talk. Is this some kind of secret code...." He kept an eye on Set, trying to figure out why she was all but beating Esperanza, there was definitely a conversation that he was not privy too going on, and it was interesting enough he wanted to know!

Delta held up one mechanical hand, the wrist swiveling around so the fingers faced towards her and one finger shot up, then another, and then a third. As soon as the third finger was up Delta shimmered, a flash of light and he appeared in the room with the artifact and the men guarding it as he prepared for battle! One hand flipped back, the palm opening up into a glowing red cannon muzzle as various targets flickered across his HUD as it tracked the various foes that the drones had spotted, tactical options spooling across the screen.

Hit Ether Power Attack -3: Hits DC 17, Damage 28 Going to try and shoot him a little bit.

Giving himself more room, cover and a better shot were first priorities as he moved to position himself behind some of the pillars supporting the building in the basement, waiting for a clear shot he leaned out seeing that Ether couldn't see through his cloaking and then he waited till the targeting matrix told him it was aligned and then.... BAM, a red blast of Nihilus Energy slammed out in the direction of Ether, trying to knock the floating Professor back to his own dimension.

Move action: Accurate Short Range Teleport into the power plant Free Action: Switch to cloaking device Other action: start looking for Ether, want to get a surprise attack on the Dr

"Get yourself to the power plant, Zip, I'm going in.",growled Delta, with barely a thought he shimmered and vanished, appearing a moment later in the power plant his head swiveling around in search of Ether. In case he couldn't see the guy he pulled his cloaking device over him, he was going to need to be ready to deliver a powerful strike if he was going to defeat Ether he had already realized that. Skulking around the Power plant he looked for his foe and enough time to line up a really strong shot, he didn't have time to mess around before this idiot did something that would devastate the building, if not the city.

Delta shimmered into view, deciding that now was as good a time as any to not be invisible,"I dare say a little caution might be in order? Can I suggest we scout out the internal parts of ,"the ship first?" Realizing he was just appearing suddenly he frowned and shrugged,"I am Delta, here to help figure out what is going on here."

Delta was getting very tired of the dimension hopping, only to finally find himself suddenly at the plane he called home.....but something was wrong. Looking down at the D-Hopper he frowned,"Of course....that's typical." He didn't expect the ASTRO tech to do anything but cower in his lab so he started with him,"Get your friends together make sure they are all okay and call an ambulance." Next was Lulu,"It's time....either fight with us or stay here and help clear up this mess" Gesturing to Zip he headed out, looking down at the D-Hopper's screen, his voice grim and his face set,"Lead me to him, it's time to exterminate that intruder. I've learned a little about him already, and have a few tricks up my sleeve to take him down this time." His total lack of sleeves didn't seem to other him as his one hand transformed into a cannon, he wasn't going to mess around this time.

Delta rolled his eyes, Zip was a snake oil salesman, he was sure in another life that was exactly what the little man did. He couldn't wait any longer, reaching out he fed some Terminus Energy into the device, careful to make sure that it was going directly into the D-Hopper and not being funneled into some dimension splitting bomb.

Chromium listened, intently for him, but didn't understand a lot of what was going on,"So the cold iron and dead animals blocks someone who can listen to you or control you...the cool tattoo, is not so cool, made by someone who knows you and is being used by yet another person who I suspect is the one forcing you to do what you don't want..." He shook his silver head,"Man, if I got even half of that right that's messed up....so how do we stop it? Find the one who made the tattoo?" "What's her name and how do we find her?"

Using his scanner to reach out ahead of him Mamba started to move towards the staircase, and where the smell was coming from, he suspected that there was definitely some funny business going on and he wanted to get to the bottom of it. Walking slowly he moved towards the stairs, the acid, and whatever had put the two together. ******************************* Akhona had learned long ago that patience was often better than all the tech she could assemble, so she waited, listened, and waited. There was little else to do, wait here with the possible suspects or go back and wait for something to happen at the site...either one involved waiting.

Delta shook his head,"No, that's not what I said. I'm not giving any of my energy till we have more accuracy. I want to go home, of course, but I'm not just letting you feed off my energy to shunt us around randomly to further out places...." He gestured to Lulu and the ASTRO scientist to come closer,"So, if we're going to be shunting randomly, might as well get started, right? I just thought you could do better."

Delta shook his head, realizing he had explained poorly,"No I can teleport myself. I was more saying that we can meet there and kick some butt." Assuming she agreed he raised a fist,"On the count of three?"

Delta looked pleased, or at least as pleased as a man with half a human face could look. Shaking his head he looked down at Zip,"Is there any chance we can build something to guide it? Otherwise we'll keep skipping through dimensions in the vain hope that we randomly land in the right place?" He paused for a moment, contemplating what he was going to say next carefully,"I could even channel some Terminus Energy into it if it would help get us where we need to go."

Zip's voice drew Delta back from his study of the surrounds, shaking his head he moved forward, leaning down to look at the remains of the Brit Machine,"The natives are starting to consider coming back, but of bigger concerns are the natural denizens of this world." He lifted his hand and it flattened and morphed into a set of cutting tools, a screw driver and a few other implements he would need before he set to removing parts that would be useful in getting them out of there,"The sooner we can get out of here the better...also, might be worth noting this will likely provide a catalyst to improve the Cave Men's knowledge, depending on how much they study the remains of the Brit Machine...we may have irrevocably altered a dimension."

Craft Electronics: 32 Knowledge(Tech): 32 Lol back to crazy good rolls, I suppose. Also I have Improvised tools so I don't get penalized for not having any

Searching the area with ESP, with rapid x10000 it doesn't take me long to take 20 on a search. Let me know if you need anything from me

Delta frowned at the humans comments,"We are working on it, but we can only work with the hand we are being dealt so far." "Zip, you build, I'll send out some drones to keep watch...", reaching to his belt he hit the button and six black and red drones shot out, flying up to his face they sent a beam of light out into the iris of Delta's complex cyber eyes, linking to the computer and then shimmered out of view before flying off to search the jungle around them to make sure nothing crept up them. Slipping through the foilage the drones provided him with an all around view, Delta slid to his knees on the ground, looking like he was meditating as Zip worked on the repairs,"I'm going to search the area around us for a mile, should take me a couple of minutes. By then I want you to have a plan, Zip!"

Akhona was happy to stay above the building, between the rat copters abilities and her own abilities she planned on trying to figure out what was going on inside. If there was someway she could hack a computer, or phone in the building and listen in to what they were saying she would do so. Whatever it took to find out what these people were planning next would help them stop them. She also paused long enough to send her coordinates to Black Mamba, that way if something happened to her he'd have a place to start searching.

Delta nodded at Steve's words,"I've noticed there seems to be a bond that grows between these people. The harder they struggle the closer they get, despite their differeneces....although there are exceptions when they don't have a strong foe to unite against." This was the third or fourth time Steve had brought up concealing who he was, and for now Delta ignored it, he didn't have the capabilities as of the moment and for now would focus on surviving and making sure he didn't full under the sway of the various agents of the Terminus on Earth-prime. He forced a smile at Miss Americana's chuckle, it was a most perfect chuckle he had to admit, but his mind was elsewhere as she scanned him further and then asked questions and there was some that were easier than others,"The safety, and the lack of mind controlling mad scientists near me..." "I have been to the aquarium...that didn't go as well as I had planned. Music, I've listened to just about everything I can get hold of on the internet. Food wise, I've eaten what they've provided at Freedom City's League headquarters. I can't just go into your typical restaurant, not without causing some issues. That said I did get some of the other people in the HQ to order in Chinese. I rather enjoyed Crispy Beef and Crab Rangoon, so there is that."

Delta shook his head,"That's not terminus energy...I'm not sure what it is." Looking around he frowned again, there was not a lot of good that had happened so far,"And we have a crazed, Terminus energy fueled villain on the loose." He moved over to the Brit machine, dropping to one knee and started sorting through the parts,"Let's see if we can salvage some parts from the Brit Machine to fix the Dimensional Hopper....otherwise we have to hope that the Cavemen are not the only society, or their Shaman's are a lot more powerful than the typical caveman."

Ahh, out of combat? Great, I thought I was about to get attacked by an invisible person!
