Delta Hits Defence 17. Power Attack -3/+3 DC 28 again

"GET DOWN, GET DOWN, GET IN COVER!", yelled Delta, he and his yellowish force field shimmered and he vanished, popping up behind a rock he leaned around and extended an arm. His fingers had folded back, bending way past what a normal humans could bend to lay back on his wrist the fingers moving till they were all equidistant around the palm which opened up to reveal the crackling Nilhus energy that powered all of his cybernetics and weapons. The opening stretched even further strange black and red lenses falling in to place to focus the energy correctly and then Delta shuddered as the recoil was absorbed by his body a red blast crashed across the distance slamming into the robot with more power than was Delta's standard blast...not that Lulu or Sanchez had seen him fight before. His eyes irised open as he tracked both the position of the robot and the two civilians who were likely in over their heads.

Delta Hits Defence 17 for a 13 damage. Power Attack -3/+3

Delta is up for intradimensional shenanigans....in fact his back story is all about that.

With initiative of +3 I'm going to go with academic and move on Is there any cover in the area? Any kind of tactical advantage I can get? And is there somewhere safe for Lulu and co. to go?

Big silver fists clenched and unclenched as she spoke before he snorted at her comment about Freedom city, he had turned down the chance to go to all the fancy places they trained supers his eyes followed her thumb as she mentioned coca and he smiled,"How long you been collecting strays and making them think you're their favorite aunt?" Looking over at the camp kitchen he moved over to it slowly, looking at it carefully, clearly not planning on using it himself. Maybe he was more aware of how strong he was now that she'd reminded him, frowning he looked over at her again,"How come you don't have some fancy place with all kinds of gadgets? This seems a little....plain."

Akhona Notice: 25

Delta didn't say anything but the tour did as it was designed to do, slowly he felt himself relaxing, he nodded to her offer to turn off the camera's, that would be something he would need to appreciate. He didn't avoid people per se but he knew that people didn't respond well to who and what he was, and he preferred to avoid them if he could. Taking the security card from her perfectly shaped fingers he nodded,"Let's start with just you and AI if that is okay."

yup

Yup

There was a small part of Delta that was slowly getting used to having massive amounts of information, data and knowledge at his finger tips that was intrigued by the unknown and desiring to learn more but the majority of him was a solider and weapon. The scholar hidden deep inside wanted to try and hack or connect to the robot but the soldier knew that if that went wrong it was all downhill. Frowning he moved slowly away from the creature towards Lulu and the technician,"Okay, it's not dangerous...we need to figure out what's going on around here. I'm going to send out my drones. Do you have any idea where your experiment sent us?" The last was spoken to the Technician but he doubted that would be something he could rely on, with a touch of his belt multiple drones flew out of their compartments as he looked over at the robot again, not quiet believing this was was just standing there. At least for now it was, he was still very, very wary.

Delta's eyes irised almost closed as the vortex collapsed, and then widened as they took in the new surroundings and the darker ambient light of the new situation. His arms rose at the sight of the massive robot and it's many weapons but for a moment he froze, realizing that for now it was not attacking. Muttering just loud enough for Lulu and the lab rat,"Get in cover....NOW!" In the meantime his databases ran double time trying to figure out where they were and what the creature in front of them was, more importantly if it was a threat and what was the best way to neutralize it if it was. The thought of a threat caused a field to spring up around him, looking like a heat shimmer that colored all things seen through it with a yellowish sheen as his mind raised a force field that would protect him from most Earth-Prime technology weapons and side arms...not that the behemoth in front of him was wielding side arms. Diodes blinked along his skull as his data-banks searched for something for a field of reference.

Delta looked at the two of them for a moment and then shrugged,"Let's get this over with. I don't want to wait and see what happened. Let's do the scan and see what we an learn...but the tour first, if you don't mind. Ma'am." It still puzzled him this situation with Ms. Americana and Steve, but he was prepared to observe and see how things worked out between the two of them. There might be a lot he could learn from Steve's integration into the Earth-Prime society. There was an emotion he wasn't familiar with, particularly considering he'd never had it before, he was not sure he felt good for Steve and his relationship with the attractive Ms. Americana. Either pushing that away he slipped into the Elevator, standing near Ms. Americana,"Very good, let us begin."

Chromium gritted his teeth, fists clenching in what was a very angry stubborn looking posture that he was unaware he was striking,"I don't try and hurt anyone! I'm a good guy! Just things aren't made to put up with someone of my weight...they are made for normal people!" He shook his head, obviously very determined to make his point,"I haven't hurt anybody who is not a bad guy...." He almost said yet, released it and swallowed it rather rapidly and with obvious dislike for the taste of the word he didn't say before looking at Anna with hard, angry, teenage eyes and tried to be polite,"But I'd be happy to get some training...I am pretty strong and I might as well use it to smash villains not become one."

Delta was impressed by the iron that Lulu showed, and when she issued him as a threat the fingers on his one hand folded back in a very inhuman way, laying flat on his wrist and whirring slightly as they adjusted equidistance apart and his palm irised open leaving a glowing opening that was very clearly some form of ranged weaponry,"And you wouldn't like it if I had to use force...Dale." Delta tuned out the drone of Mr. Dale's words and excuses till he was looking upon the scientific turd, he frowned at the technicians brief explanation followed closely by cries for help. Lulu, who seemed very bright, didn't understand this what was the chance that the numbskulls tampering with it had even the slightest clue what they were doing. Grabbing the technician he shoved him towards Lulu," Get him into cover and start questioning him, find out what they've done. I'll find a way to stop it." And he stood there staring at it, at first nothing seemed to happen then the diodes on his head started flashing red and green, a glow appeared before his eyes his heads up display switching to full processing mode as the various databases started pushing information in to his system far faster than a normal being could process or put together as the machine in his head whirred up to full power trying to solve the riddle before it resolved itself into something much more messy.

Akhona's fingers and eyes flickered over the young woman, and then up to the person who had just greeted the unconcious woman and then back over to the girl that John had identified as the White Lioness, frowning she spoke loud enough that the White Lioness would hear even though it wasn't said at her,"This girl has been poisoned, some kind of chemical agent is causing the seizures. No one touch her..." Over the private link to John Ross she muttered++Armor up, the girl got attacked, we might need someone with a chemical seal++ In the bathroom there was a strange whooshing noise as John Ross' armor slid over his body, but he didn't respond yet, trusting Akhona to tell him where he was needed....or to suddenly stop responding if there was some kind of chemical gas attack. Akhona looked up at the Muesem staff,"We're going to need to detain anyone who came into contact with the young girl...and check the video cameras to see if anyone shot anything at her. And get 911 here to get her to a hospital."

"No ice skating for me, at least not on the river, I'll smash right through.", he smirked for a moment then focused on Anna a little more carefully,"What about training? Wadj...Esperenza said you might be able to help me learn more about my powers." The girl had actually been referencing control as he'd smashed the whole building down, but he didn't really care about that, he wanted to learn more tricks and powers...and maybe more about how to find the dang bad guys, this far they had been elusive.

Delta's eye appature's whirred in reflex as he looked at what he had found in a digital view tucked away in his HUD, there was no need for the eye to adjust but it did anyway as he double checked what he had spotted then he focused on Dale and threaded truth and fiction together to hide his method of discovery while sharing what he had learned,"Oh...that's not entirely true. I can feel it...it's not Terminus, it's very close though. And it's self sustaining...have you got it under control or do you need someone who knows what they are doing to shut it down?" He pursed his lips and glanced at Lulu and then back at Dale,"Self sustaining could mean you've figured it out, could mean you've lost control or even worse that you've got someone's attention and they are holding the nexus open....it's a matter of time before things start coming through. Dale, either tell us what you know or find us someone who does know something and can get things done. This has the potential to become a problem rapidly!"

Unfamiliar with the legal practices of Earth-Prime and certainly not something he had considered searching his database for on the way over Delta had shimmered into view again once he realized that Lulu was driving straight into the ASTRO labs parking lot. Opening the window he reached down and tapped the side of his teleportation belt, a small compartment opened and multiple black and red drones floated up to his eye level, for just a moment they flickered red light between his cyber eyes and their sensors and then they cloaked and vanished out of the window with a whirring sound. He didn't say anything to Lulu, figuring the less she knew the better. He sat there listening to Dale stall, in the mean time his mind was directing the drones at the highest processing speed his cerebral computer could manage as he examined all things in the lap. The only sign was a bank of green and red diodes flashing along his skull as he waited for Dale to do whatever it was that he was doing to try and delay them. Finally he spoke,"I am not an Omegadrone, I am the design created to replace them....more effective and flexible. Why are you meddling with the Terminus? Was two invasions not enough for you?" He just needed a little longer to process what he had seen and he'd have an answer for himself.

Delta watched her reactions, his eyes recording all of her emotional reactions and various other tells, a small smile curling his lips but his mechanical eyes didn't change as she spoke and he nodded,"I just need a normal car, that is fine. I am very happy with your driving, that was in fact my request. I do not want to alert them to my arrival, they might be scanning for anomolies...and you are aware that I emit Nilhus Energy." Her last statement drew a question in his mind,"A cape? I don't have a cape....is that some kind of requirement for your organization?" Moving forward he touched her arm very briefly with his metal hands, guiding her towards the door,"Show me the way, I'm going to vanish once we're in the car but I'll still be there so feel free to talk if you want. Once again not sure on what kind of surveillance ASTRO labs has but I'd rather they not raise any kind of protections to stop me from examining the situation."

Delta snorted at Steve's words, diodes flashing along the sides of his head as his bulbous eyes focused on the Omegadrone,"I don't disguise, but I can vanish...I wear a hoodie sometimes that's good enough if I don't draw attention to myself but I prefer being cloaked and out of sight. I know what I look like, I was created to strike fear into the foes of Nihilor, as were you, and I do a very good job at it." His eyes were drawn to the sitting lady and for a moment he stopped, he prided himself on his logical thought but there was something about this woman that drew out the part of him that was still a man. He stopped and turned to look at Steve, an Omegadrone, and shook his head...there was a story here, one where a woman who looked like that fell for a monster with good intentions. A story the humans loved to tell....a fairytale they called it...he hoped for Steve's sake it wasn't just fiction. Stepping forward he nodded as she spoke he listened intently, his eyes drawn to her flawless features time and time again as he worked through her words,"I have many, many questions about myself. I have so many parts in my body that I don't understand, so many that are still growing and developing and some of them are at the hand of my creator, some seem to be the result of my psionic abilities that are manifesting. I have become aware of some changes in my nerve structure, it is being mirrored, a mechanical copy, or improvement is being made, but as of yet I cannot access it. I have a suspicion that it would allow me greater control over my movements to a superhuman level...useful in my original design as a scout and saboteur. I want to ensure it isn't attempting to wrest control of my mind away from me again, and perhaps activate it earlier as I think it would be useful....." The mind control was his greatest fear, every time his diagnostics found a new mechanism that was what he had to determine first, the fear would never leave him, he didn't wish to be a puppet again.

Chromium was interested in the disrepair of the place, still when Anna asked him he shrugged,"Better than the street. I can see how I can help you out at least." He snickered showing her one of the bits of debris he had picked up,"I can basically live off of all the crap you got littering the place and clean it up for you a bit...it wouldn't take long with the amount I eat." He glanced over at the blonde woman, trying to put her together with Lady Horus and he frowned,"So Wadjet, she said you were the Lady Horus...tell me how that happened?" He grinned and looked over his shoulder to make sure the other girl wasn't there,"She also seems pretty put out by your girlfriend..which is rather funny."

John and Akhona had been involved in so many conflicts over the years their reactions were practiced and speedy, John slipped off to the side looking for the nearest rest room, while Akhona, protected by her invisible barrier rushed towards the girl who had fainted. John slipped into the rest room, ready to change into Black Mamba if it was needed. Akhona was there to assess whether this was the case or not, dropping to her knee next to the girl she gestured firmly with one hand,"Give me space, I'm a Doctor." And she was, having performed hundreds of surgeries on her husband alone, never mind what had come before and after those as she examined the young girl, her fingers sliding to Corrine's neck looking for a pulse,"Who is this girl? Who came with her?" She needed information on what could be wrong and she needed it now.
