Delta was recording the place, he was rather impressed by the style of the building and the feel of the steampunk like setting....steampunk, a term spat out by his database and one that made him smile just a little. He listened as Mr. Goose arranged a way in, loving the titles of the various societies even more, and then the attendant threw a spanner in the works. Sighing Delta shook his head, stepping closer to the people who had become his companions he focused his mental energy for a moment and there was a shadowy flicker around the four of them for just a moment before they were draped in an illusion created by Delta's mind and maintained by his core processor. Delta himself was in a black suit with long tails, a top hat, a cane with a red gem in the hilt and a lovely red bow tie tied around the starched collar that was immaculately pointed. Lulu was dressed in a lace and satin black dress with just a barely acceptable cut to her bosom and a little bit of a train, the Astro scientest was dressed almost identically to the attendant and Zip was in a long tailed coat, blue in color with a top hat that was tall enough to make him equal in height to Delta normally, just a touch absurd. Apparently his database contained period specific clothing. Offering his arm to Lulu he looked at the attendant and smiled,"Is that better? I would hate to offend anyone at this prestigious place of learning."

Delta nodded at the Goose couple, mildly amused at the swing in her attitude, even more so if they knew who he had been fighting for. Zip's comment only made his mood shift a little higher walking off towards the building he almost chuckled when Mr. Goose asked about the helmet. The next question made Delta pause, he really wanted to say that he'd only ever seen the creature fail at doing scientific things. First the robot glitched, then the dimension hopper failed...multiple times. Yet Delta was hoping the creature could still get him back,"He's a scientist, the brightest mind in the place that I found him." Also the only person he had met,"I'm sure he is going to find a way to repair his device and get us back where we need to go."

"A lawmaker is a good profession, fight for what is right, Mr. Goose.",looking back at the others squabbling he gestured for them to follow,"I was a marine, I served off of many ships, battlecruisers, strike ships whatever it needed. That said knowledge is useful in war, you never know when you are getting get stuck behind enemy lines and need to solve a problem." He smiled at Goose's words and nodded,"I'd be happy to take advantage of your generosity if you are happy to help." The part of his brain that was computer was triangulating where they were in relation to the rest of the world, pulling up maps from the approximate time and more information was filling his HUD,"Where are these gentlemen located? I recognize Greenwich park, which building are they in?"

Grimacing he leaned forward and between gritted teeth hissed at Zip,"No I didn't study for twenty years, I had an entire planets libraries, scientific papers and more stuffed into my head. Literally lifetimes of research are piled into my brain but you are the only one who could possibly comprehend interdimensional quantum realities and still not get the quarks in the correct sequence so that they don't make the flux capacitor short circuit when you get to 20 quintillion megajoules...that's why you keep getting random bursts of Nilihus energy wastage!" The rest of Zip's words were wasted on the angry cyborg, grinding his teeth in frustration he rolled his eyes at the woman's declarations of his ugliness, although the man leaping to his defense made him relax just a smidgen and Zip's disappointment at becoming secondary almost made him feel better about being here. "Mr. Goose, it is a pleasure to meet you too, you may call me Delta. I am not from Oxford, but I am a war veteran...so you are partially correct. Do you work at the Institute of Metaphysical Engineering? I am in need of someone who can assist me with either Interdimensional Quantum realities...or teaching a stubborn midget how to accept he may be wrong. Don't suppose you know someone who can help with either of these?" The verbal stab at Zip wasn't needed but Delta was one who would hold a grudge for a fair little while, plus he was starting to believe that Zip was not going to be his ticket back home he'd have to figure it out himself.

The cyborg soldier would have given anything to hear the remainder of Captain Cosmos sentence but was cut off by a zip, got his bearings, leveled his weapons and was zipped again. Shaking his head, he glanced at the Mouse and Rabbit looking like he was going to see anything and then frowned as he zipped yet again. And then they stopped, glancing around he sighed, breathing in and out slowly he glanced at the data that was cascading down his field of vision through his HUD and sighed. He realized that something inside of him was keeping track of each jump in some manner he couldn't figure out what it meant but he knew it would be stored, analyzed and at some point it would feed him information with context which would allow him to decipher it. Then Zip's words hit him and he sighed again, a low growl escaped his head as his mechanical hand shot out to grab Zip by the collar, lifting him up so he was level with the insectiod eyes that had replaced Delta's natural eyes he let out a low growl of anger,"You had better let me look at this device, or by all that is Victorian in this place you will be visiting another plane and it won't be with the help of your device." He let go of the smaller creature but it didn't fall, suspended by his telekinetic abilities he put him down safely as he turned to Lulu and the scientist,"Any idea where we are exactly?" Looking around himself he shook his head again,"And Zip, I'm serious, let's find this Institute and see if we can get them to let us use their workshops to figure this device out."

Delta growled,"A few days?" The echo of some super hero's voice yelling was followed by Zip suddenly being able to charge it in a few seconds, shaking his head he spat out,"I'll slow him down, you get that damn thing working and quick!" The disc on his back, painted red, that generated his Nihilus energy started to glow, the red coloring only making it less obvious that he was gathering his powers. His mental abilities were relatively new and with a frown he glanced in the direction of Captain Cosmos. The man was a blur to normal vision but his HUD sped up the rate at which he was observing and targeting reticles formed, giving him time distance and speed, the man was moving very rapidly reaching out with his left hand he focused a great deal of force and with a loud kiai he unleashed his mental power, yellow energy crackling over his body as he shoved the super being into the ground. The noise was fairly awesome in and of itself and his opponents strengths started to scroll up in his line of sight as he went smashing through rubble and bits of buildings seemingly without a problem before coming to a halt. Grunting with effort he said,"Get that thing working...he's going to need to walk the rest of the way but I think I can hold him for a bit longer." The disc continued to glow as he maintained his telekinetic grip on Captain Cosmos stopping him from taking off again.

power roll 24 to stomp captain cosmos with telekinesis

Is that just a d20 + power rank?

Using a HP to use the Nullify (flight) 1 point power, Perception Ranged +1, Concentration Duration +1, Unreliable (5 uses) if that works for you? Should be able to stop Captain Cosmos and give us some time? And descriptor wise it's basically Delta using his telekinesis pulling him to the ground the whole time So stunted off of his TechnoKinetic arm array. Is that cool?

Chromium gave Rev a long hard look, looking at her limbs and her body and frowning, there was something tickling his mind as he looked at her limbs but the murder of famous people took priority as the fluid steel man turned away from the others and headed off in the direction of the criminal...although one who wo,"uld just give themselves up made him consider more was at hand than what was obvious. This was of course reinforced once he spotted his 'quarry' with her legs jutting out from under a car and clearly not in any rush to go anywhere. He crouched on his haunches, looking over the magical woman a little more. His silver body and obvious metallic construction sure to attract attention soon enough as he pondered the way things had gone so long, deciding to use the fake name he cleared his throat,"Daria...do you mind if I speak to you?" His hand slid of it's own accord, grabbing an empty oil can out of the trash and putting it up to his mouth where he took a large bite out of it, chewing slowly without any real thought as he waited for her to respond, the sound of metal on metal coming out of his mouth as he took a second mouthful.

Delta listened to his explanation, once again, he had understood it the first time but Zip seemed to be very sure of his intelligence a statement that was supported by his refusal to allow someone else to look at the device. He'd rather be wrong and jump through multiple hoops than have someone else correct his errors. This analysis of the creature was further strengthened when he punched the button on his belt, and more annoyingly it didn't work.... And then it did... Fingers flipped back and the massive arm cannon hummed to life as Delta glanced around for threats,"Lulu, get to some cover again...Zip...you are an idiot. What are you trying to do? Get us killed?" Glancing around again he growled, low and deep in his throat,"Tell me you don't have to wait to use that thing again?"

Delta waited, letting him ramble, reach his conclusion and level the accusation before dropping down on his haunches so he was the same level as the little man,"I am better than any drone, I never experimented with Nihilus energy, on the contrary, I was the experiment. I was created to replace the Drone's but I developed an independent mind and escaped....." Sadly his brothers were still trapped in Dr Düster's clutches, shaking his head he pushed aside the usually morbid and depressing feelings that followed that thought and focused on the little man,"So I fight against Lord Omega, and others who would threaten Earth Prime and the stability of the dimensions. Not to mention little people who seem to be determined to construct some kind of dimensional bomb. The good news is I'm not judgemental, I prefer to let peoples actions speak for them rather than judge them on their past, history or race.....or letting a robot try and kill me." He gave the creature a level stare,"If I wanted to kill you, you would still be in the smouldering pile of wreckage that is your very peaceful Killbot. Nice name by the way." Sarcasam and irony were dripping from his words, anger smouldering inside ,of him at the accusations hidden in the little mans words,"Now we can work together to get out of here....or I can find my own way home, really is your choice. I didn't ask for your help, or to be trapped here."

Delta let Lulu and Zip wave their degrees around while he listened before pointing at the ASTRO scientest,"They were experimenting with Nihilus energy and Lulu detected, I helped her refine her search as I have some experience with Nilihus energy first hand....." Frowning again, still not sure this Zip was as good as he seemed to act,"I draw on Nihilus energy to power my body. I can generate it. I'd suggest before we randomly hop around you let me look at your generator hopper. I have more than a little experience with dimensional, teleportation and quantum travel." Shaking his head he added,"The person who filled my databanks created many different dimensional travel machines...I'm sure I have plans, or even adjustments for your machine."

Delta blinked, masses of information being spewed out by Zip, none of it making sense. Although the being called Collapse had enough in common with the Tyranny of Lord Omega to have Delta have to actively damping the emotions flowing through him he took a deep breath and shook his head,"It's 2018 AD, 2nd of December in the time we were in...that said there is nothing saying this pocket dimension has the same time stamp." Tilting his head, Delta continued to scan the creature, the diodes on his head flickering more rapidly as he processed what he could and stored the rest to allow his processors to work on further. He frowned at the thought of selective breeding that sounded a lot like Dr Düsters programs to build super soldiers, a frown creased his lips and he shook his head that said, a time bomb sounded like something Delta didn't want to deal with in any way shape or form,"You mean you can't figure out how to control the destination? Is there anything we can do to refine that?" There was a pretty good chance somewhere in his databanks there was information for dimensional travel, he knew that Dr Düster had used their teleportation belts to do dimensional travel but he wasn't sure how it all worked....

Ugly was certainly not a problem for Delta with all the metal in his own face, but he listened closely to the various things that Zip spouted on about and frowned,"What year did you come from? And, more importantly, how did you suck us in? We had idiots playing with Nihilhus energy and getting us sucked in....tell me they are still to blame at least somewhat? I think they need to be taught a lesson." He still didn't trust Zip but he'd learned if you gave someone enough rope they often made their own noose,"And tell me more about what you are trying to do, and how you plan on getting back to where you came from?" In the meantime he referenced his Databases to try and work out what the heck a half-dimensional bubble was, and what the usual mode of exiting was...he needed to get Lulu and the idiot back to their world, as well as himself.

Delta frowned, his processing power running at full speed to try and put together what this creature was saying before he went with simply asking, he wasn't ready to start mind bending, he had been on the receiving end of that far too long,"What do you mean Earth? We just got transported here from Earth? And what kind of machine was that?" He didn't trust the creature, not at all, he couldn't tell if it had been controlling the robot at the time of the attack but he knew how to find out. Moving closer to the Robot he bent down to examine it, see what it was exactly,"Did you build this machine?"

Delta's twisted his head to look at Steve, then back at Miss Americana and a small smile curved his lips,"Lasers?" He shook his head,"Glad I don't have to deal with those. I suppose I could work on adjusting some of the gimmicks on my belt to disguise who I am. For now complete stealth is fine...I do not do well in social situations generally." He shrugged,"I am adept at overcoming difficult situations should I have to."

Chromium smiled at her comment about bones, letting one of his hands melt and turn into a rather terrifying axe head,"Nope, no bones....just metal." He snickered at her comment about a budget, and then settled down to listen to what she had said about having more than one bolt hole and nodded in understanding. His dad had always had the same thought, even though he was clearly not a hero. As if echoing his thoughts she went on to tell him she wasn't an angel, at least not before she became...well whatever it was she was,"You live in Bedlam...I'd be surprised if you were innocent of all evil. How did you become the Lady? Find the helmet? Steal it?"

Does Akhona need to roll anything too? Failed Reflex Save: 11 Failed Toughness Save: 16 Is it possible to reroll the toughness roll with HP? It's difficult for me to say so before you announce the result as I already know it Bit worth a shot.

Delta paused, thought about it, looked down in the crevasse and then over to Lulu,"Stay in cover, someone in is in the machine...not sure if it's an operator or a prisoner." Turning to his sensors suite he scanned the robot and it's surroundings before teleporting down next to the robotic cadaver and bent to examine it more closely. Leaning close he spoke loudly,"Who is in there? How did you get in there?"

Familiarity with war was something that Delta had plenty of, and the nozzles triggered a memory of his squad mate Alpha...Alpha was almost as large as the robot but it was the flamethrowers that he used that jarred the memory with speed beyond what a normal human could achieve Delta dropped down below the rock and rolled away from the heat of the flamethrower. He didn't bother getting to his feet but teleported again, this time behind another rock with a clear line of sight on the crevice his movement had been luring the Robot towards, aiming down he fired at the ground the machine was standing on. On the edge of the crevasse there was a weak point, a jutting piece of rock was barely supported, a piece of rock that the robot's full weight was resting on. Wasting no time the focusing lenses adjusted with in the arm cannon and he let off two quick shots at the rock and blasted shrapnel everywhere as the supports shattered under the focused Nilhus energy. Bits of rock started to fall, and with any luck so would the robot.....hopefully ending this battle.

Akhona's eyes flickered up and then she paused, looking at the woman her eyes narrowing and shaking her head,"She just palmed something, search her now...what are you trying to achieve?" Akhona's tone was hard and uncompromising but years of training made it more than a little convincing even with no real authority her voice just made people do what she wanted before she answered Nicole,"Contact toxin...delivered by touch...I'd imagine we'll find out how up this young ladies sleeve." Back in the bathroom, now fully covered in the Mamba Battlesuit John emerged from the cubicle, ready to head out at the first sign of Akhona needing help, for now he was simply listening to what she was saying waiting for the call to action.

Hahaha, there is a reason I have Evasion...no damage thanks Reflex Save DC 16 = 18

Delta's tactical analysis filled his HUD with information at a massive rate, realized what it was he was up against he flinched just a little as the rock he was using as cover went up in dust, the dust ran into his telekinetic shield flickering lights showing where dust and field connected like stars in his filed of vision but Delta was a soldier, tactical advantages were his to see and take whenever he could. He shimmered again as he teleported away, another rock suddenly filling up the space in front of him as he leaned around it again. His shoulder jerked as again he took another shot, tearing through more of the metal plating the robot, he was sure he could see it's inner circuits slowly dissolving under his blasts but it was not enough to take it down yet. His HUD updated with more and more data with each blast, soon, and very soon he was going to manuvere the machine into a position he could take advantage of. His diodes flashed as he switched to high processing mode trying to find someway to take advantage of the terrain. Analysis started to filter in as he ducked back behind the rock, possible options filling his vision as he tried to end this battle as soon as possible.

Only remembered the option to find something to trap him in now Earth Science 30!
