Predator Predator frowned under her helmet as she watched the readouts on the scanners. Between the two of them they had produced a pair of functioning scanners. They were supposed to help track down the original source of the ‘event’. Obviously the number of overlapping signals was more than they accounted for. The bodies on the train didn’t exhibit the apparent magnitude increase they were now encountering. The errors were directing them to both a local radio signal tower and a local hospital. Both would be needed. She contemplated for a moment… Predator looked at Echohead and then nodded. “You’re correct. The safety of possible survivors should be top priority.” She looked out over the town again. “We should traverse the rooftops. Traveling the streets would invite too many potential encounters.”

Predator Jean sat in her seat as comfortably as she could. Having a tail often had its drawbacks, seating was often one of them. When the captain spoke she looked up from her datapad. She spared him and offered a friendly smile. “It's alright captain, I understand. This was rather ‘last minute’ for myself.” She considered him for a moment. This wasn’t an official mission as far as the government or military were concerned. There were no ‘eyes-only’ or ‘need to know’ mandates. But she didn’t think it safe to be completely forthwith, so she opted for an abridged rundown. “There is a potential danger. A high ranking official within WEST may be in danger from an as yet unidentified threat. He is supposed to be on a research mission in Alaska. After some concerning developments, I have volunteered to look into the matter. Hopefully, before it has to become an ‘official problem’ for national security.” She gave the captain a smirk and chuckled. “I can only assume they are happy to let me try first. It allows for greater deniability and hopefully lower budget costs.” Jean joked.

Predator “Of course.” She said reassuringly. “Take a moment.” Jean regarded the screen from over Loyng’s shoulder. She watched the slightly grainy image of ‘Dr North’ as the person(?)… the entity(?)… the thing passed through the airport. She made a ‘hmm’ noise then stood up. “I suppose I should go to Alaska and investigate this myself.” She patted Loyng on the shoulder. “Can I ask you to keep an eye out for anything unusual?” She asked. “I can give you a secure contact line to reach me.” Jean rubs her chin. “Now, I just have to secure travel there.” She remarked and pulled out her phone and began scrolling through her contacts.

Paper Paper smirked as the ninjas he could see in the crowd dropped like flies. “Can you believe it? You guys will never graduate to be real ninjas.” He looked up just in time to see four more drop from the rafters, fleeing from Neko’s illusions. He grinned as they landed. Two took off running again, but the other two attacked. One’s weapon went wide, missing him, and part of him hoped it hadn’t hit a bystander. The second one was dead on though. Leon raised his left arm to block it and the little throwing star embedded itself into his forearm. Paper didn’t even seem to acknowledge it as his right hand reached out and raked his fingers though one of the other ghostly lanterns hanging in the air around him. “Too slow! You guys would lose to turtles.” The lantern fell apart, but in his hand he held several playing card sized pieces of paper. With a flick of his wrist the paper stiffened as he hurled them at one of the two. The paper slam into the first ninja like a series of blows from a heavy-weight boxer. The blank white mask focuses on the last one standing before him as paper slithers around him like a living thing. It collects and grows up into his waiting hand, a staff forming. He twirls it easily without looking away from the last ninja on the stage with him. The shuriken still planted deeply in his left arm seemingly unnoticed. No blood seeping from the wound as he spins the staff. With his right hand he makes a beckoning motion at the second attacker. “Yūkigāreba.” (“If you dare.”)

Ranged attack: 29 That's a crit for all the good it does. Edit: Can I try to intimidate the second one? Leon did just take out like 5 of his co-workers with 2 attacks. Edit2: Those two are minions right? I didn't think to ask. Edit3: Intimidation check: 7 What the heck, try a reroll: 22 Much better.

Okay, Toughness save for Wildchild: 14 Ouch, that’s a daze and another bruise. Wildchild - bruise x2, dazed monstrosity - unharmed Diamondlight - unharmed, 1HP Sea Devil - unharmed, 4HP Nightscale - unharmed, 4HP @Nerdzul Go ahead and post IC a solid blow.

Dirty blonde hair reaches her shoulders and her eyes are a deep rich blue. Her features are fox like and a pair of red and black furred fox ears poke up through her hair. Short fur covers her body and her legs are slightly digitigrade. A fox tail protrudes from the base of her spine. The Predator armor is an advanced battlesuit Jean designed and built. She has redesigned and upgraded it numerous times since its conception. Its current design has a feline/canine inspired hints in its minimalist simplicity. It has a sleek, polished gun metal appearance with no added coloring except the yellow glow from the helmet’s ‘eyes’. History: Jean was born on a parallel Earth, similar to Freedom’s but with several major differences. Nearly identical to Earth Prime in every way, Anthro-Earth has comparable technology, history, and culture. The world has its own variety of heroes and villains that clash regularly, as well as numerous visitors from worlds beyond.The primary difference is the dominant species is anthropomorphic animals. There are also a sprinkling of humans and aliens from other worlds (and a few other anthropomorphic creatures not native to Anthro-Earth) that are referred to as 'outsiders'. It was during a clash between two of the many super-powered individuals in her world that Jean lost both her parents at a young age. Jean was recognized as a prodigy at an early age and graduated from high school years ahead of her peers. She attended college, receiving multiple degrees before moving to the private sector. Under the employment of a patron with known questionable connections, Jean secretly designed and built the Predator armor to combat the destructive forces that she felt plagued the city. For several years she fought to protect her city until one day a crazy scientist constructed a portal that threatened to run out of control and could threaten her entire universe. Alongside several other heroes she tried to stop it, only to find herself dragged in to the portal along with its creator. Jean found herself adrift in the multiverse, the residual energy from the portal causing her to shift through wolds at random. Wherever she appeared she would help to protect the innocent as she attempted to find a way back to her own world. Sometimes it would be days, sometimes weeks between shifts. This made it difficult to devise a way home. Eventually, her dimensional shifting landed her in Freedom City, but the residual energy seems to be nearly gone, leaving her apparently stranded there for the time being. She has since accepted residence and the use of a lab at Freedom Hall. In exchange she offers her assistance as a hero, while attempting to both find a way home and create a sustainable base to operate in this world. Personality & Motivation: Jean is intelligent and stubborn, but will listen to counter arguments and give them proper consideration if they deserve it. She has a strong desire to protect since losing her parents to ‘super powered’ violence. She is quick to act, but does so in an intelligent way. Always analyzing the situation and thinking ahead. Her mind is her most useful tool and she utilizes it. Though, in her travels, she has been forced to more drastic measures and sometimes goes further than she would normally feel comfortable acting in order to protect others. She is slow to trust others, but once she considers someone a friend she is fiercely loyal. She has been known to place others before herself to what some may consider dangerous degrees. Jean had no immediate family, but left behind many friends and allies she misses. Jean has no hang ups on her inhuman appearance since the world she was born into had a high population of humanoid animals. She does though have some body issues give her small stature and build, feeling she can’t measure up to ‘normal’ beauty standards. But this doesn’t normally hinder her since she tends to be more analytical by nature. It usually only came up on the rare occasion she began to feel attracted to another and thought they wouldn’t see her the same way. This would sometimes lead to her shift to an even more analytical attitude that could possibly push others away, but a numerous times she has allowed others to get close to her. Power Descriptions: Jean herself is an intellectual prodigy, but has no powers herself, relying on the suit for any combat needs. The suit was built using a mix of advanced Terran and alien technologies. Complications: Inhuman appearance: Jean is not human and makes no effort to conceal the fact. This may make people uncomfortable or possibly hostile towards her, causing problems with many people not used to dealing with nonhumans. A hero point could be awarded if this would cause a problem either socially or investigatively.

Ah, okay. That sounds fine. Ready when you are.

Blackstaff Blackstaff wasn’t sure what exactly to make of the snippet of argument he heard. But he did hesitate a moment at the door as the Cat spoke. “If it's all the same to you, I think we’ll pass on the tea.” He replied and glanced back to see Dreamer beside him. Then, readying his magic just in case he needed it, he tried to open the large door.

Paper Leon nodded in agreement with Luke. “If this was anymore of a set-up, there’d be a neon sign with a comical oversized arrow.” He chuckled. He trusted his best friend's nose. If he said it smelt ‘techie’ he believed him. “Might be another entrance.” He nodded. “I can watch here if you wanna circle around and check.” He reached out with his sense, searching for paper. If anyone was inside he might be able to sense it. Cash (when people still carried it) and collected membership cards, receipts, and BOGO cards. The paper detritus that sometimes finds its way into people’s pockets. Sometimes he could recognize the way it was gathered and moved around. It wasn’t perfect, but he still tried. OOC: can roll a Search or Perception if you need

Legion looks like they're being handled, so we're gonna try for a ranged blast at Visor. Ranged attack: 25 Toughness DC25 for Visor

Okay, so we take the failure to require max calibration. What's the target for the roll? (The way I roll, I may be using the HP we just got. :p)

@Supercape do you want the easy success or do you want the HP?

Predator One of the alien soldiers attacked Predator, but she avoided it. Even as she reached out, the blades slid back into the gauntlets and she grabbed the attacker. She attempted to spin him around and grapple him, but the alien managed to twist himself and her grip failed to secure a grip. Her mechanical fingers unable to find purchase where they slipped from its armor. Predator gave the Boran a nod and assumed a defensive posture as she noticed the larger one she’d knocked down getting back up.
