Do I need to make a second post, now that we're in combat, or is it someone else's turn?

Alright, I'd just posted IC, but deleted it. I've got to get going though, that was just a last check in before I need to go sign a lease. I'll be back in a few hours.

Building height is half a move action, so going to try and stealth it. Stealth: (1d20+9=19) Blast 12: (1d20+8=24). That's a hit, flat-footed or not! DC 27. Initiative: (1d20+9=21)

Upon reaching the exterior of the building, Corporal Cosmos found a usable gap between the walls and the force field, and knew exactly what he'd be doing next. He removed the bomb from the hard-light casing he had built around it, and took it in his arms before flying up the side of the building, careful not to touch the building or the shielding, and not to go full speed, to reduce noise. Upon reaching the roof, the first thing he saw was the German jerk approaching Cosmos' devilish new friend. No one would be able to see Steven's wide grin as he quipped, "Hey, Weiner-Shnitzel, you left something downstairs!" While holding up the bomb in his left hand for the villain to see.

Corporal Cosmos Closed Circle: 5 Posts and HellQ

Corporal Cosmos interlaced his fingers and cracked his knuckles before generating a hard-light vehicle lift and boosting the luxury auto to just high enough that he could stand under it. After looking at the magnetic plate for a moment, He conjured up a crowbar as well, and began working at prying the explosive from the vehicle. At first, he just grunted and strained, to no avail. After a few moments, Cosmos decided to try from the other side, and the thing popped off with ease, and he crafted a box around it before it hit the floor. Once he was out from under the car, he lowered it back to the ground and dismissed his tools, leaving just the box around the bomb, that he trailed, hovering, behind him a ways as he looked for a way outside the building. From what he heard earlier, Cosmos was guessing his target was at the top of the building, and if this gadget was dangerous, he couldn't think of a better place for it than right next to its builder. "I find this guy, the real fun starts," Steven mutters to himself, smirking.

Tearing the bomb from the underside of the car, as Corporal Cosmos doesn't have the brains to figure out how to detach it properly. Strength: (1d20+7=13) Strength: (1d20+7=25)

Sense Motive: (1d20=17)

I knew there was a reason I didn't trash his ENTIRE sensor suite.

Activating Analytical Vision, Ultravision, Infravision, and Ultra-Hearing, and rolling a Search: (1d20=14).

Corporal Cosmos followed Ironclad into the elevator shaft, but shot downward, instead of going higher. Once he reached the basement level of the building, he activated his sensor suite, and began searching for the theoretical bomb. "Man, this is all conjecture, and now I'm searching for a bomb I don't know how to disarm instead of fighting the bad guy. What a day," Steven thought to himself bitterly. "I guess if the hero thing was always as simple as knocking a mad scientist on his @#$, everyone would do it, though. And it IS a bomb, pretty important." Having reminded himself of his task's gravity, Corporal Cosmos began his search in earnest.

"Ugh, that just feels awkward. Like somebody's running a back massager across the back of my brain. A cold one." Corporal Cosmos rubs at his helmeted head a moment as he responds in his mind's voice. Turning to their other compatriot, he continues, "Ironclad, can you fly, or should I be taking the one further up? And any idea how I can disable the thing? Push comes to shove, I can just cocoon it in a light-box, but I don't know how well it would hold a bomb at close range."

A moment of silence passes as Corporal Cosmos considers the implications of Ironclad's plan. "Um, how big a boom are we talking about, here? 'Cause I'm not generally the brains of the operation, and deactivating a bomb always looks tricky in the movies. Or is this gonna be more of a 'Smash 'n Grab' kind of situation? THAT, I can handle."

Cosmos tilts his head confusedly for a moment, and then points down, briefly. "I know I'm not floating real high up or anything, but I hardly ever touch the ground in costume, man. Once I'm off the ground, I can hardly bring myself to land. As for electric floors, gimme just a sec." He fidgets with one of his gauntlets for a brief moment, which then emits an emerald dump truck scoop, that the Corporal pushes ahead of him, calling, "This hallway is not safe for civilians, please return to the hall and wait for the authorities, thank you!" in an attempt to usher the innocents out of the way before the area becomes dangerous.

Corporal Cosmos reaches down with a clamp of green light and picks up a stray robot head, tossing the macabre trophy back and forth, from hand to hand, the sudden stillness disconcerting. "So, I guess I should tell you my name, huh? That's how these team-ups work? I'm Corporal Cosmos, space-borne sentinel from outer-space! Or something. Alliteration is HARD." Corp. suddenly tosses the chrome cranium to a gawking onlooker before turning back to his fellow heroes. "So I assume I'm not the only one going up there to take care of this guy? I mean, seriously, camping out on TOP of a skyscraper? Worst case scenario, one of us falls, and I can FLY."

I'd like to volunteer Corporal Cosmos, if you decide 7 isn't too much.

Steve's taking 6 seconds and making a recovery check for that bruise he took. Recovery Check: (1d20+6=9). And failing. Next time he has 6 seconds: Recovery Check: (1d20+6=19). Full health again.

Corporal Cosmos rubs at one shoulder briefly and leans back to (audibly) crack his back, before effusing, "Oh man, am I glad you guys are here too. I really thought I'd be doing better here. Who IS this guy, anyway?"

Oh god, why was I not there for this conversation!?

"Y'know, I expected fighting robots to be a lot more fun," Corporal Cosmos mutters, while lining up another shot at the more able-bodied automaton, and promptly blowing a hole in the opposite end of the hall. "Oh for Sagan's sake!"

Just a dumping ground for characters in progress.
