Spaceman "We should probably leave," Parker agrees with Michael, but doesn't comment on the rest. Something you just do, that's in your heart but can't teach? He's not sure. He doesn't agree with Carmen just attacking, but he has said what he want to on the subject. No need to leave. He focuses, searches for his bag... and then it is in his left hand, while he checks his phone with the right. "Sounds like they want Buzz, Timeout and Torpedo Lass around too, when I make the call." Someone might still be listening here. He can't say their real names just yet. Quickly getting dressed, pulling his clothes over his uniform, he answers Consuelo when he is ready. "I'll try to set it up, but no promises. They know about me and Claremont, but its not like I've told you who all of you are, and its not like they just have things like that lying around, but let's see what they can do."

Spaceman Parker can't stop himself from laughing. "So you destroyed the destruction? That makes absolutely no sense, but if it works, it works." Feeling the thing she destroyed still there, even after it was destroyed? Is Consuelo connected to what she destroys? His mind starts to wander, considering the possibilities... he even would have missed Michael's eye beams if Consuelo hadn't reacted to them. "Baz'll probably want to try and see who can do it better."

ARCHER II Archer is not happy, as he walks along the walkway, bow in hand. Those goons outside weren't much trouble, but they made noise, and despite how loud the Skullcrack is, somebody probably heard something. Not how he had wanted this to go down, but fine. He can deal with it. To be honest, Connor doesn't much care about a historical relic being stolen, at least not for the historical value, but if Black Snakes make too much money off selling it, then they'll just end up making a play for something bigger, and somebody will get hurt. Better to stop them preemptively. Get to the back rooms before they get away, then. That's the best course of action here.

Space Ranger III "Cavalier, eh? Is that some fancy Star Knight rank?" J'onn asks, as he stands in the airlock and then, let's himself fall out. The gravity is low enough that he is barely moving. He gets ready to activate his jetpack, and then, he flinches. Before him is a woman made of stars. She seems familiar. Then J'onn blinks and she is gone. He is with the Star Knights. That was new... and probably not something he should mention right now. He activates his jetpack and flies along the Star Knights towards the asteroid. "Right. One meter distance. No touching down yet." He pauses. "So... in case there's natives, what do we do?"

ooc for this. @Supercape

GM February 1st, 2024 The Digital Den, a hip and happening cyber cafe Emerald City The Digital Den is new, but not exactly well known. The owner doesn't advertise it. They serve a more exclusive clientele than the regular cyber cafes, not just gamers that want the latest fix for the newest online game, but hackers and crackers alike. White, grey or black hat, it doesn't matter. If the mysterious owner M has heard about you, you will receive an encrypted invitation. All activity is rerouted through a multitude of constantly randomized VPN connections to numerous off site networks owned through various shell companies spread across the globe. M claims that it is secure, that no one will be able to track you while you are there. All that he asks in return for patronage is that you share. Information should be free. Haven has found himself part of the Digital Den's clientele. The current location is in a basement in the industrial district. Computers line the tables, with people sitting in front of them, typing away. The lights are somewhat dim, techno jazz is playing. M has spread a rumor that MarsTech is up to something. Maybe that is something worth looking into.

Master Plan does not add to saves, so that's actually a fail, so you'll need to do a Toughness Save, but with the lower DC because of Evasion 2. @Nerdzul is next after Thev's IC.,

GM Toxin curses loudly, pushing her hand against the Conqueror Worm again as Shift holds him down. A bubbling, sizzling sound escapes where the acid begins to burn him, but he just smiles. He does not care. With a yell of desperation, Casanova finally gets to his feet. He stares at Stormcrow. "You! You did this! I know who you are! I know what you did!" His screams turn incoherent, as a massive psychic blast whirl around him, straight towards the already dodging Stormcrow. The Conqueror Worm's Puppets continue to swarm. Their numbers are dwindling rapidly now, as the heroes fight to keep them back, but still, they cannot help but shake the feeling that there's more out there, lurking outside, just waiting to flow in, to drown them in the madness that is the Worm. The Conqueror Worm places his hand on the floor. Sickly green energy explodes out from it, catching Paper, Stormcrow, Shift, Toxin and Chump. He is laughing, even as some of the heroes escape the supernatural energies that he is unleashing.

That's a hit and +4 from autofire for Toughness 32: 27 (I rolled too low a bonus, in case you're wondering why the numbers don't add up) That means they are weakened by 1 more, for a total of 4, further reducing the effects of their attacks. Toxin tries to attack the Conqueror Worm: 24, that's a hit. DC25 TOU save for the Worm: 32, nope. There's a secondary effect, though, so he gotta save next turn too. Casanova Mind Blasts Stormcrow: 22. That is, fortunately, a miss, and he can't do anything more. The Conqueror Worm's Puppets goes for Multi-Girl, Ghule, Nightscale and Shadowborne again: @Thevshi @Nerdzul @Lone_Star and @Kaede Kimura give me a DC16 Reflex Save vs Area, followed by DC16 or 13 vs Snare depending on whether you make it, though at this point, I think they're weakened so much that you will most likely make it. And the Conqueror Worm then does an area attack that hits Paper, Stormcrow, Shift, Chump and Toxin. @Heritage and @Spacefurry give me a DC23 Reflex Save vs. Area, then a DC28 or DC22 TOU save, depending on whether you make it. @Spacefurry remember that you only get the Master Plan bonus to your save, since Inspire can't affect everyone. Stormcrow Reflex Save: 18, but with Evasion 2, he still gets half TOU effect Stormcrow TOU save: 23, just made it Chump Reflex Save: 18 Chump TOU save: 25, that's a Bruise Toxin Reflex Save: 26 Toxin TOU save: 16, that's a Bruise and Dazed @Thevshi is up next, but everyone make your saves! MASTER PLAN 3 ACTIVE: Round 2/6: Everyone gets +3 bonus to attack rolls and skill checks. INSPIRE 5 ACTIVE FOR Shift, Ghule, Multi-Girl, Nightscale and Shadowborne: +5 bonus to attack rolls, saves and checks until Stormcrow's next turn. The Conqueror Worm status: Unharmed, Pinned by Shift (Immobile, No Dodge bonus to defense, Defense -4), Secondary Effect DC25 TOU save on Init 18 from Toxin Puppets Status: Weakened by 4, Entangled 24 - Paper - 3HP - Unharmed 22 - Stormcrow - 4HP - Unharmed 22 - Ms. Scorpion - Bruise (x1), Staggered, Bound and Helpless (Rank 15 Snare) 22 - Chump - Bruise (x1) 20 - The Conqueror Worm - 19 - Shift - 1HP - Unharmed, Grappling the Conqueror Worm 18 - Ghule - 0HP - Bruise (x2), Dazed 18 - Toxin - Bruise (x1), Dazed 16 - Casanova - Staggered, Immune to damage at the moment 14 - The Conqueror Worm - 12 - Multi-Girl - 1HP - Unharmed 11 - Nightscale - 4HP - Injury (x1), Bruise (x1) 10 - Shadowborne - 4HP - Unharmed

GHOST "Lenny's a national treasure, and you know it" Casper replies with a smile at the mention of him remembering her order, and then pauses, once he realizes what Grim meant. "Oh, right." He looks around at the gazebo for a moment. It is quite something. Really adds to the mood. Pulling his mask away from his mouth, nose and beard, he smiles as he sits down opposite Grim on the table, and holds his own glass up. "Sure. What do you want to toast to?"

Spaceman Parker had remained close to make sure Vueriz wouldn't get too hot again. Once she was down below, he had disappeared to his room, but by the time Vueriz was digging through the freezer, he was back, now wearing a pair of black swim trunks. How long had he be there? Who knows. "I have no idea what you're talking about," he says in response to Vueriz, not even looking at where her tail had gripped on to him a moment before, even if he is grinning. "C'mon, let's get to the beach. I'm sure Mizuki would love to get to teach more people to swim." With Vueriz riding her board, Parker focuses on his own distance to the ground and changes it, flying alongside her towards the beach.

The STORMCROW "That is not powers," Charlie corrects, though he smiles. "That is skills, and trust me, you wouldn't believe how hard I worked for this." Charlie wouldn't give up his training working with Alek and the rest of the Raven family for just about anything, but to say it was anything other than incredibly hard work? Now that would be almost insulting. Not that he really cares about something like that. "Anyway, don't worry about following in anyone's footsteps. I was trained by the Raven." Charlie is, as ever, careful not to mention any of the other Ravens, not it's a mystery that there has been more than one. "That doesn't make me the Raven. I'm doing my own thing, and you should too. It's fine to look up to others, but don't try to be the Centurion. Just try to be Golden Star."

Tagging.

Spaceman Right. Everyone has moved on to using powers after all. Not that it isn't impressive, but it does leave him wondering. "How did you do that?" Parker asks Consuelo, staring at the piece of gum as she puts it back in her mouth. "I thought your power was all about destroying stuff." Reach out, then? Try to do more? Is that what he should, too? He's not sure if this is the right place for that. Too many people that could be caught up in it all at once.
-
Spaceman The other three? Parker types back a response to the STarblight. Has some of the other students fought the Starblights? There's a lot of people at Claremont, but he'll be surprised if Baz isn't one of them. He waits for a moment, before looking up at the others. "It would have hurt Consuelo worse than me," he offers as the only explanation to Michael. He doesn't feel like he has to elaborate on that, instead looking at Carmen and Consuelo. "It is a clue. It's one of the Starblights, and she wants me to call her in two days with all of you around, including three others. Trying to figure out who she means." He winces before responding to Consuelo. "My parents are rich, there's a difference, but they might want to help with that. Two days should be enough time to prepare, anyway, but can we please try to avoid a fight unless its necessary? I really appreciate you coming to my help like that, Carmen, but I might have been able to talk them down. Well, probably not Draco, but the rest of them."

@Supercape Read the spoiler if Baz is still watching the girl with IR vision
-
GM The girl looks between the three of them. She really doesn't seem like she trusts Gamma Buz, but she is warming up to Timeout and Spaceman, at least. "I... I can take you there. I think," she says, looking back and forth between them. "But you gotta promise you won't let him get me again." --- After Thesaurus Rex is secured, the girl leads the young heroes along. It takes an hour or so, but they finally find themselves standing in front of an office building. Or rather, in front of the manhole cover that the girl is pointing out. "It's down there."
-
Spaceman "Don't worry, we'll keep you safe," Parker adds to Lawrence's question. "See? Timeout took down that dinosaur easily. If that's the best the doctor has, then we'll be fine." He is not nearly as confident as he lets on. They don't know anything about this doctor, and what the girl is telling is fragmented at best. Memory loss? What exactly does she know, and what doesn't she?

GHOST "Maglev?" Casper asks. It makes sense, of course, but he'd be lying if he said he wasn't kind of disappointed that it isn't something more exciting, but it makes sense. It's not something simple, but it is reliable. Need to work in case of any issues. The hangar is impressive, to say the least. Casper is busy marvelling at the sight when Velocity turns to him and mentions that he needs to get cleared to fly one of them. Ghost pauses, just staring at her for a moment. "Riiight..." He begins, before realizing that she isn't joking. "You're not joking." She does not seem to be joking, at least. "Listen, I'd love to, but how many crashes are in the budget? I mean, I couldn't even get a driver's license, so a Pegasus plane sounds a bit out there, y'know?"
-
Spaceman Parker does notice Lawrence's expression, but he starts explaining to Michael anyway. Honestly, Parker would be lying if he said it wasn't interesting and exciting, but on the other hand, he also knows how much Lawrence would much rather just be a regular student. Well, as regular a student can be here, and Vueriz obviously looks like she is starting to get overwhelmed too. "Michael, slow down, please?" Parker asks. "How about we actually get around to showing Vueriz around the campus?" He looks to Vueriz. "If it's alright with you, Vueriz?" Hopefully, it'll get some of the attention off Lawrence, and they can, at the very least, actually do what they're supposed to do, and if anything, Consuelo has the chance to talk to Lawrence about her robot problems without everyone jumping in.

The STORMCROW Charlie just looks back at Leon with an expression that just reads as "really?" before turning away. Alright, then. That's how he wants to play it, then he can do it like that. "I'm the one buying pizza all the time anyway!" he shouts after Vik as the girls start into the arena. Maybe he should have put something on the line? Eh, he's more a lead in the moment or plan ahead guy, but, with that said... "C'mon, let's go," Charlie says to Leon, Luke and Pol, motioning towards their starting location. Which starts his other reason for doing this, aside from just having fun. "So, how do you guys wanna do this? What's the plan?" No reason he should tell everyone what to do all the time.
-
The STORMCROW It's not like Charlie is surprised by Leon's reaction, or Luke's, for that matter. He did just disappear into thin air with no warning. He's apologized, and if that's not enough, then there's not much more he can do. He does appreciate Bernie's hand in his, though, and that Vik stands up for him. Charlie looks to Luke and shrugs. "Would have if I could, but like I said, there's rules to working with the Raven, especially on something that big. He told me to go radio silent, so I didn't really have a choice." He looks at Leon, a small grin playing over his lips at the comment about the security system, but doesn't say anything to it, instead just turns and gestures for everyone to follow. "Don't worry, no one has to live here, but if you want to save on rent, it's there. Otherwise, if you just need somewhere to crash, it's here. And if you want to bring someone along to live here with you?" He pauses, stopping at the door. "If you trust them, then I trust them. Just, y'know, be sure that they know about what we're doing, because I don't feel like we have to keep things secret in here." The mansion is, to put it bluntly, massive. Leon is absolutely right about it being too big, but why hold back? Subtle, though? The area is full of places like this. Inside, there is a hallway, which leads further into the building, to a large living room with a giant television, couches, armchairs and a kitchen, along with several fridges and freezers. Charlie has obviously prepared for all of them to live there. Further along, down a number of other hallways, there's the rooms that Charlie mentioned. "Pick one, if you want one. It's yours, so do what you want." He already has one, of course, as does Pol. "Like Pol said, we built and designed this together. There's a pool outdoors, if you want. Gym, garage, library, a hangar with a jet..." He lets the last bit hang for a bit, while smiling.
-
Spaceman "Big issues," Parker agrees, shaking his head. "She was blasting at the whale. Seemed like she was missing on purpose, just trying to torture it. She put me through the wall when he told me to knock it off." Parker doesn't look too bad, considering the hits that he took. A few scrapes and bruises, nothing worse. He is, to be honest, kind of surprised by that. He wasn't sure if he could take those kinds of hits, but apparently, he can. He looks at the Paper in his hand and raises his hand. A few black orbs float from it, and then his phone is in his hand. "One of them left me a number." The joys of parents with all kinds of tech and money. Hiding his number, he sends a text to the number left behind. I'm sorry that this had to end up in a fight. Could we try to talk instead of hitting each other?
