Blackstaff
Blackstaff blew out a breath and nodded at Dreamer’s assessment.
“An excellent idea.”
He looked down at her.
“Is is okay if I put you down?”
He asked, giving her time to conjure one of her constructs before turning his attention to the rest of the room.
He glanced at the door the rabbit exited out of, then at the larger one.approaching the larger door his eyes flickered to the table as he passed it. He made no move to pick up any of its contents yet.
He looked up at the cat before cautiously reaching out to rest the handle.

Predator
Predator followed Agent Shine’s lead to a computer she could use. She easily slid into place to work, connecting to it only enough to send her findings to the screen for the others to see.
On the screen, several widows appear. Some contain graphs, others, shifting numbers and text. She points to one set of widows in particular, the signal’s signature.
“Here.”
“With no identifiable electronics, one can only assume this is some form of electromagnetic signature.”
A second, identical set of windows open.
“Both bodies are emitting identical signatures. But no normal person should be registering a signal like this.”
Predator sat back to allow the others to examine the data as she spoke.
“While it’s too early to assume its purpose, I think we can assume its source is the cause of this epidemic. Perhaps the original Mr. Deacon, or perhaps more likely, whatever happened to him.”
A single articulated finger on her gauntlet tapped the chin of the helmet.
“But perhaps with some work, we could modify trackers to pick up on the signal. With a strong enough signal we could possibly find our patient zero, or possibly even the source.”
She offered.

Predator
Jean gave the woman a long look before nodding.
“Very well.”
“To put it short and to the point.”
Jean motioned to the small case of samples she had brought.
“When you have a chance to examine the samples yourself. You will find samples of flesh and a chemical substance that seemed to induce effects not unlike the ‘Synthetic’ you described.”
As she spoke Jean produced a flash drive.
“This is a recording of events earlier this morning which prompted my initial inquiries.”
She held it out to Lyong.
“On it, you will see a Dr North arrive at the door to my laboratory this morning and my welcoming him in.”
She emphasized the ‘a’ before Dr North.
“He begins acting strangely and I attempt to subdue him before he begins growing hot to the touch. I attempt to stabilize the man, but ultimately failed to.”
Jean motioned to the case of samples.
“As near as I could determine the flesh is not actually human. So I have no reason to think the real Dr North is not still alive.”
“I also manage to cobble together this.”
Jean produced the ‘Fleshometer’.

So after some thought, in her state of mind, or rather, lack there of.
Chimera will release the man and grab for the coins.
Truly, a brilliant strategy.
-
Chimera
Under her, the possessed man struggled but she was overwhelming him. The sound of coins bouncing across the pavement was a faint background noise as Chimera pulled back to smash the man again.
Gods, was she actually going to kill this poor man out of blind rage?!
What had she become?
Suddenly, Chimera froze mid strike… she heard it… she heard them.
They were calling to her as the clinked and fell to the ground. Calling to the gold still lacing through the symbiote. The coins. She had to grab them. Get them before someone else did.
Someone called out to her, but it didn’t matter.
Chimera abandoned the possessed man in broken armor to quickly begin gathering up the fallen coins. Gathering up her precious gold to reclaim it.

Paper
Paper felt his hammer connect solidly, but the big man shrugged off the attack. The young hero grit his teeth and cursed as the villain continued to dismiss him.
Multi-Girl managed to get in a sucker punch before Shift recovered from the blow she took and wrapped her arms around Big Horn, literally.
He growled under his breath and tightened his grip on the paper mallet.
“I told you not to ignore me!”
He yelled.
Paper charged the bound hulk, paper snapping into place under his feet and he stepped up off the ground to get a flying swing at the villain.
Paper grunted with effort as he swung, not with his muscles so much, but his force of will. He imagined the paper hitting just as easily as he had envisioned the paper forming the hammer, and that was all it needed.
The paper responded. Swinging in an arch the mallet connected with Big Horn.. right upside the head. With more force than Paper could have managed on his own.
-
Just to be safe, I think Paper is gonna just Coup de grace Big Horn.

Predator
Jean nodded as Lyong spoke. She had met her own share of crackpots and mad scientists in her time before arriving in Freedom.
At the mention of the new drug her ears perked forward. It sounded very dangerous
…and very familiar.
“Has Dr. North been involved in any cloning projects?”
She asked .
“Because I think things may be becoming much more serious.”
Jean gives Lyong a serious look.
“After I tell you what brought me here, you may need to contact whomever is in charge in Dr North’s absence.”

Predator
Information scrolled across her screens as her suit scanned and magnified. Without a properly equipped lab even her sensors couldn’t tell the difference down to a cellular level.
But there was something amongst all the data…
She turned her attention to Echohead as he asked to copy her mental capabilities. Everything she had been able to find out about the man and his ability said it was harmless to those he ‘copied’.
Though the long term effects on him are something yet to be seen.
Still, she gave him a nod.
“That’s fine, you may proceed.”
Predator turned her attention back to examining the bodies.
“Your input may be useful.”
She added.
“I am detecting something from the specimens.”
She sorted through a few screens before settling on one in particular.
“You have a monitor I can use for a moment?”
-
Can I assume there is a computer set up somewhere on the train?

Predator
Predator had ducked a clumsy swing by one of the alien soldiers. She ignored the attempted attack in favor of her intended target. She could reengage with them afterwards of needed.
As she entered melee range with the mechanized unit it turned its attention on her and produced melee weapons of its own. The blades radiated intense heat according to her sensors, most probably some form of plasma. She continued to close the distance.
The machine was faster then she had given it credit for. As she moved to avoid one plasma blade, she felt the impact of the second. A few warning lights flashed on her screens, but she didn’t feel the heat inside. Something about the angle of the strike seemed to react with the resonance of the armor’s trans-dimensional workings and it managed to shunt the worst of the blade’s effect.
Even as the glow was fading from Predator’s chest plate, she retaliated. The armored hero lunged forward with both blades, and found a weak spot. Her own blades tore through metal and electronics, creating a shower of sparks as the mecha stumbled under the attack before crumbling into an inactive heap.
Predator turned to face the alien troops that had managed to find their feet again. The last of the glow fading from her armor, she stands, as if daring the next attacker to step forward.
-
@Supercape Predator would be okay with him doing that.
@Poncho If you mean a Knowledge, Electronics: 9
HP to reroll: 16+10 = 26
-
Can Predator jump up on to the mecha to melee attack it?
If not, she'll just attack from the ground.
For the attack I want to spend a HP to gain Power Attack
Using Power Attack to -5 to attack/+5 to damage
Melee attack: 12
I am convinced it only rolls this poorly for me. ><
HP to reroll: 14+10= 24
If that manages to hit the Toughness is DC30
-
If he's dazed do I need to roll to maintain grapple?
-
I just saw that when I was rereading it once I got home from the movie.
Just something else I need to fix with his next update.
-
Ah, I see the Feat version of Selective must apply to only Saving Throw based powers. The Extra version is for Attack Roll powers. Adding an Action Flaw is fine since he isn’t moving from where he is anyway.
Thank you for catching that. I just copied the original AP without double-checking the feats on it.

Paper
A paper motorcycle wove through traffic, pulling off moves a real one could never do. On its back rode a young man wearing a hooded coat, a white mask covering his mouth and nose and a short scarf flicking in the wind. It was a new look he was trying out since his return from Tokyo with his girlfriend and teammates.
Paper goggles shielded his eyes as he pulled the bike down an alley shortcut. Behind the mask and goggles though, he was pissed. He had been half way to meet Neko for a dinner date when Charlie’s message appeared as a text on his phone.
Neko was understanding about the whole hero thing, but easily pulled a promise to make it up to her later from him.
A simple 'OMW' text was all he had replied with.
Now though, he was mad and needed someone to take it out on. A few weeks ago, that probably would have been Charlie himself, but the boys had made steps towards building bridges so Leon would have to settle for punching whoever was causing the problem.
A paper ramp and he easily cleared the street and darted down another alley.
To be honest he only half read the text before calling his girlfriend. Something about the Devil’s Advocates and a couple of scrubs squaring off. He was a street kid, he’d heard of the DAs but he and his siblings had always tried to steer clear of them and the weirdos they had worked for.
Rumor was they were running on demons, which to be fair, back then was a little hard to take seriously. But now that he’d gotten around some more himself… Well, maybe it wasn’t so far-fetched.
A sharp turn and he skidded under the trailer of an 18-wheeler, just to pop up right as he pulled onto Lindroos Bridge heading into Kingston.
He should probably check the text again, but Charlie will probably just repeat himself once he gets there.

Paper
Papers eyes darted from one ninja to the next behind his mask. A flash of metal and he leaned his head to the side.
He still felt the bite of the shuriken as it scratched him. He touched the spot and saw the blood on his finger tips.
“That’s one.”
Paper waves a hand and paper flows out of his sleeve to form into several floating paper lanterns around him. He reaches out to touch one and it spasms at his touch.
A tear forms in it, opening to reveal a single large eye. The latern tears again into a large mouth and a long tongue hangs out of the ragged edges.
Suddenly, the chochin obake lurches forward in a wild swaying path that looks like it will carry it over the heads of the ninjas.
At least until it stops midair and spasms again.
Paper balls the size of bearings explode from the latern yokai construct. They fill the air at the front of the crowd, but they strike with surgical precision. Not a single bystander is struck by the hail of hardened paper balls, only the ninjas Paper can perceive.

Alternate Power: [36PP] (Additional Descriptors: Paper Barrage)
Damage 10 (Range: 10 10-ft Increments, 100 ft Max; Extras: Area [Targeted, Burst], Penetrating [6 ranks, Effective Damage 16]; Feats: Accurate 2 [+4 Attack], Improved Critical 2 [18-20], Indirect 3, Selective, Subtle, Variable Descriptor [Bludgeoning, Piercing, and/or Slashing Damage]; Drawback: Medium [Paper]) [36/36]
All I did was change the [General, Cone] he normally has, for [Targeted, Burst]. It doesn’t change the cost and it already has Selective.
Of course he can only target the ones he can see. So any still hiding he can’t target. -

“Calm down.”
Jean said slowly.
“I don’t believe you have a reason to panic.”
Lifting the scanner she had built, she used it to scan Lyong. Her face, a mask of calm.
The process was quick and Jean was confident in the results.
“The scan says you’re fine. But if it would make you feel better. We can run a test.”
She placed a hand on Lyong’s shoulder, attempting to reassure her.
“If you have security concerns though. Arranging tests on all staff, in all branches may help.”
Jean tapped her chin.
“Don’t mention the possibility of exploding though. It can cause a panic. Perhaps something more benign, some new flu or virus.”
The vixen gave a thoughtful look.
“Also, if possible, check if Dr North’s ID has been used to access anything ‘important’ or ‘restricted’ recently.”
