Re: Weston Museum

Absalom was in his home at the Apokryphal Apartments when he heard about the Museum incident. In seconds, he darted out the door after putting on his costume (even though it only took a few milliseconds). People on the way to the Museum seemed to be frozen as he passed by them. He just smirked and continued to his destination.

He stopped next to Mittens. A rush of wind followed him with an assortment of trash carried by his running at sublight speed. On his way in, he bowling balled a couple of Mum-Ra wannabes.

"I hope I'm not too late." He said with a grin. He saw the mummies attack his former comrades but he positioned himself to the closest one upon entering the place. "Need any help?"

Re: Weston Museum

-----> Dragon Fist

The mummified bull charged at Dragon Fist, it's hoofs making oddly sounding thunks on the floor.  Rather than stand his ground, Dragon Fist chose to counter-charge the oncoming undead beast.  When his chi-powered fists connected with animated desiccated animal being, the result was unsurprising.  The first punch halted much of the creatures forward momentum, and shattering its skull.  Dragon Fist second punch tore through tattered bandages and destroyed shoulder bone.  The creature was larger than a normal human and that difference in size, and what remained of the beast, crashed into Dragon Fist in a shower of fragmenting bone and bandage.

-----> Matt

Matt pulls the statue off of the museum administrator, who gives him an anxious look as if Matt was going to just slam the valuable artwork back on to its pedestal with little regard to the items significance.  Hearing Matt mention how screwed the museum could be PR-wise as a result of this incident, the discount suited mans eyes widened fearfully.  "Oh my god!  We are so screwed!  We can't afford any lawsuits and if the collections owners find out what happened..."

He looked around frantically, as if seeing every fleeing person as a potential court case that was going to ruin the museum.  "We have to get everyone out and make sure that they don't talk to the press.  If the press gets wind of this, the museum could be ruined!"

-----> Seraph

It was hard to discern the mummys expression as it raised its hands high above its head, planning to inflict further harm on the woman gasping for breath at its feet, but a moment later it didn't matter.  Seraphs blades easily dismembered the undead antagonist and then another that was nearby.

The woman, hearing Seraphs suggestion about the exit, gasped out a 'thanks' and started to stumble towards the entrance to the exhibition.  Her movements were slow due to her injuries and the scattered debris and unconscious bodies in the way.

Seraph was far enough into the room that she made a big target.  Two mummies, one on either side of her, ran at her, their fingers hooked into the shape of claws.

-----> Daystar

The curator looked to be in a new panic after something that Matt had said to him, yelling something to the effect of "Everyone get to safety and don't sue us!"  The mans attitude did little to change when Daystar asked him for lists of the exhibits contents.

"You want what now?!  Does it look like I have time to get paperwork?!"

-----> Mittens and Duke Absalom

Mittens hands two rather ragged looking guards her conjured bladed weapons.

"What the hell am I supposed to do with this?!" one guard, whose name tag reads Denvers, asks.  He looks from his handgun, which he was very familiar with, to the Khopesh, which he was not.  "Don't you have like a bigger gun or something?"

The other guard, who was wearing a nametape that read Amir, eyes widen in excitement.  "Cool!  My Warrior uses something like this in World of Fightcraft."  With more enthusiasm than skill, she runs towards the nearest mummy, Khopesh raised high above her head and brings it down on her undead opponent.  The glowing weapon chops off the creatures arm below the elbow.  the mummy does not take this kindly and turns on Amir, grabbing her by the throat.

Duke Absalom arrived accompanied by a rush of wind to see one perplexed guard and another being attacked by mummy.

-----> Lifelight

Wilkes gave Lifelight a quick nod and retrieved her handgun.  "I'll cover you.  Let's go." she said with the conviction of someone who had momentarily forgotten how ineffective her weapon had been on their opponents.  Following Lifelight into the room, Wilkes only managed to take two more shots before deciding that getting the injured to safety was a more efficient use of her energy.

The pair ran to the nearest, severely injured looking individual.  The woman was lying crumpled on the floor with several deep cuts bleeding out.  Lifelight used her powers to heal the wounds, but the woman was still groggy.  "I'll get this girl to safety." Wilkes said, hoisting the woman over her shoulders in a fireman carry.  "Be right back."

-----> Maverick

The strange wraith may seem to be on the side of the undead, but the antagonistic mummies are not fooled.  Or perhaps they are just attacking anything that is not mummified.  The legless mummy tries to grab hold of the wraith but the cloaked figure is already out of reach and bearing down on another undead assailant.

The mummy looks up at Maverick as he approaches, snarls something in a weezing tone, and takes a swing at him.

"I do not need it right now.  I will be making those suggestions and others to police when they arrive on scene.  I am attempting to give you a head start.  Co-operation will go a long way to help with any PR as well as expedite answers."

He speaks loudly and quickly as he moves along with Lifelight, flanking her opposite of Wilkes and acting in unison with her.  Both helping to defend Lifelight from mummies that start coming her way as well as being an extra set of hands to help move civilians that can be moved after Lifelight does her thing, while doing his best to stay within striking distance of her for defense.  Relying heavily on his crowbar, realizing his rope may be of little use in this situation with so many mummies, heroes, security and civilians in the room.

Re: Weston Museum

Duke nodded at Daystar when he heard him. That's when he saw a mummy attacking the guard. He sped toward him and flipped it on its back after leg sweeping. When it was heading toward the ground, Duke jumped between it and the guard and side kicked the mummy toward a wall.

Duke got an idea after a large grin developed on his face. While the mummy was airborne, he jumped after it. Curling himself into a ball, he ricocheted off the mummy before it hit the wall, bounced off an adjacent wall and hit the ground rolling away after seeing that the mummy had crumbled on the ground. If it didn't, he followed up by coming around again, in ball form, but body charged with energy to decimate the mummy, ensuring its loss of whatever Duke's energy charged body hit. Duke would de-charge himself after the mummy was down and would continue rolling around the museum bowling balling any and every mummy that stood in his path.

"What was that one little blue fuzzball I saw on TV last night used to always say?" Duke chuckled after passing by Mittens in a speedball. He continued loud enough for all his comrades and anyone else can hear, "GOTTA GO, GOTTA GO FAST?!"

That's when Duke heard some people screaming by a staircase. They started running in the opposite direction. He rolled by the group saw mummies coming up the stairs. "Alright folks, your friendly neighborhood speedster guy is here. Please step away from the area and head to the nearest exit not currently occupied by these Imotep servant jabronis!"

"Let's see how many of these ugly muddafraggas I can tilt before scoring a SuperJets bonus!" He thought to himself.

Duke's curled up body grinds down the side rail towards the mummy brigade and slammed into them, drilling forward, hoping to cause a domino effect. If they started to fall, he would use their heads as another grind rail before moving past them around the corner. Then again, he had a strong urge to play pinball with them. That all depended on whether or not the mummies were slow enough (mentally) to allow the latter to happen.

Re: Weston Museum

Seraph grinned at the two mummies flanking her and raised a hand to each, her sword dissolving into flame and vanishing as she did. A beam of golden light flew from her hands, striking each mummy and blowing them into dust and bits of rags. She turned to see if more people were being attacked.

Re: Weston Museum

The showering of bone and bandage impacted Dragon Fist, staggering him briefly and knocking him back several feet.

"All right....let's finish this..."

Putting his hands together, charging both of them with chi, he then formed his chi-sword. Running at what was left of the bull-mummy, he proceeded to slash at it, until it moved no more.

Re: Weston Museum

The woman remaining groggy didn't come as a surprise. Lifelight's power can't shove people's blood back into their veins, after all.

However, the guard hoisting the woman to safety was a big deal since it meant Antoinette could move on to the next injured person without worrying about the last one.

Now to execute a plan she wanted to try out not long after she learned undead were involved.

When a zombie got too close to Lifelight, she fires one of her paralysis beams at it and then said, "Holtzman Shield" which cases a transluscent shield to pop up between her and the zombie. The shield has a picture in the center of a smiley face with glasses on.

Lifelight was unsure if the paralysis beam would even work, given it is designed only to disrupt normal organic beings or robots. Undead are not really in that category. But at least the Shield is designed to block low-velocity impacts like punches and kicks.

Re: Weston Museum

(( Loving the GM's way of clarifying, so I'm going to emulate! ))

-----> The Guards

"Nothing appropriate," Mits calls out from inside the room to answer the guard's question about guns while bifurcating an animated piece of ancient history with her light-katana, "Guns you can legally carry won't work on these things.  Blades are the best option."

While technically with Matt's power in play it'd be perfectly OK to open a portal to a battleship's cannon and fire a 1-ton high-explosive round into the mummy room, Mits remembers reprimands for such displays of overkill.  And handing an alien plasma grenade repeater to a guard is the sort of thing that'll get Miss Adventure denied the Interpol position she's applying for.  No matter how safe such a thing is in reality, it'll appear reckless.

-----> The Suit Guy & Matt

Zwoop!  Mits bisects a mummified cat like she just got out of high school biology then answers Mr. Suit, "Spin, my good sir.  Go right ahead and talk to the press.  Brag about how awesome the superheroes are and how glad you are that so many civilians were saved.  Then talk to the owners about merchandising.  T-shirts with 'The Great Mummy Attack of 2018' printed on them will sell for a fortune on E-Store.  I know I'll buy one."

-----> Maverick

"Ohai!"
Mits greets to the short creepy newcomer while sundering the nearest mummy, "Miss Adventure here.  Welcome to the partay, stranger.  What may we call you?"

-----> Seraph, Duke, Daystar, Lifelight

She grins at the arrival of Duke and Seraph kicking butt with beam weapons.  And of course there's Lifelight doing the actual saving of people and Daystar being all smart.  So she does a boomerang with her lightsword to dismember another mummy in an attempt to impress them.  "Y'all are so awesome!  Milkshakes on me afterwards!"

-----> Duke

"And speaking of spin..." When Duke goes all Supersonic on the mummies, Mits rapidly clicks a sound effect maker set to "Pop Badnik" every time he hits an enemy!  (( Pop a Badnik sound: https://youtu.be/w4LnygjLhvc?t=49 ))

-----> Dragon Fist

"Wait.  Did he just.  Did I just see...  OHMYGOSH it really IS the REAL Dragon Fist!!"

Something's different about him in person than on TV.  Is that a different costume from the old one?

Re: Weston Museum

  "Helping uncover what asshole caused this would shift blame better than any amount of generic pleading, yes."  This would probably be more assuring without the grizzly sight of all the undead animals suspended in the air behind him (Except for those already dealt with, of course).  Speared through their skulls, like a grizzly needle and thread.

  This WOULD be cool, except he's playing undead pet catcher.  Now, mortal Kombat fatalities on a bull? That's actually cool.  But at now least nobody will trip on them in a fit of life threatening clumsiness.

  "I'm also not fixing the mummies until you can personally assure this doesn't happen again without my intervention, if you needed a financial incentive." Matt not for the first time, feels like he's very bad with verbal threats. (Unless my demands are met. I'll only fix SOME of your priceless historical artifacts for free!)

  He has to resist the urge to provide legally distinct pinball sound effects as Duke bounces around the room.  "I'd rather have you show up late than most peoples show up early, so there's that." He says to Duke, it would be weird to be saying that to the stressed staff member.

Re: Weston Museum

The wraith ducks under the swinging mummy's fist, tumbles and a half-tornado movement behind the mummy and then walks toward Mittens. The mummy behind him that he's now ignoring turns to swipe at him, but falls to pieces into a pile behind the wraith.

The wraith responds to Mittens in a reverse-reverb voice that would sound familiar to any fans of Winter Entertainment* "You may call me Wraith."

* https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O8yT1CmTnww

Wraith looks around for any other mummies to desiccate, or perhaps people in immediate danger. Then charges into the fray.

Re: Weston Museum

In reply to Mittens (msg # 200):

He had to laugh at hearing the sounds from a video game he remembered playing a few weeks ago on his Sega Emulator. But since whoever's necromancing self wanted to go all Warcraft DeathKnight and terrorize a museum with mummies from Egypt, he might as well sock it to them--Duke style. He's been in this world for a while to know that gaming is big business-quite addictive IHO... Racing and anything with speed in it were among his favorites. Now he gets to combine the both against another who probably had the same idea with Fright Night at the Museum.

Duke was having too much fun with his version of Creep Night: 3D Ultra Pinball as he bounced off one mummy, onto the wall, smackdab into another... Rinse and repeat! ((https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=714Oror5qrU)). He imagined Mitten's sound effect maker set making the "Pop Badnik" every time he destroyed a mummy.

If you listen closely, you could hear Duke singing repeatedly:

"Duke's gonna give it to ya!
I'm gone give it to ya!
Duke's gonna give it to ya...
Cuz I'm so frikn' tired of ya!

First I'm gonna... Rock!
Into you I'mma... Roll!
Yer bones gonna... Pop!
And down yall go!
"

He paused after repeating that a couple times. Then he backtracked up the rail back to Mittens. "Can you find an instrumental of DMX's "X-Gone Give it to ya"? I'd like that on autoplay, please! K, THANKS, BYE!"

Duke rolled away up the stairs and back to his mummy pinball game. More of them were coming up the stairs. He starting singing again acapella until the song played then sung his parody along with it:

Yeah (uh), yeah, yeah (uh) (Grrrr)
Yeah, don't get it twisted
This speed game is mine, stupid mummies!
It’s so ovah 4 ya
You heard right foos
It’s what ya gone learn (it’s what you learnin’)
It’s what ya gone learn (TODAY!)
It’s what ya gone learn (TODAY!)
It’s what ya gone learn (TODAY!)

Duke gon' give it to ya
I ain’t waitin’ for you to come ta me, Duke gon' deliver to ya
Bonk Bonk, On the head kids, you missed
With the non-stop, speed smack of lightning kiss
Go hard, getting jiggy wit it
But I got such momentum
That I'll make all you lil mummies wonder if I’ll stop
Dang right, and I'll do it again, 'cause I am right so I gots to win
Smack-dab in the center, but no matter how many uneads there is
Hey yo necromancer, who you sendin' next?!
Yo little undeadies ain’t really puttin’ up much a fight.
All of em almost gone, with our super hits
I'm rollin’ down the mountain, yall’s about ta get lit
But I won't be the one that’s gone be dismembered
peeps please, if the only thing you foos did
Was came out to play, stay out my way, ya jabronis!

First I’m gonna rock, then I’m gonna roll
Ya bones gonna pop, and down yall gonna go!
Duke gon' give it to ya, he gon' give it to ya
Duke gon' give it to ya, he gon' give it to ya

First I’m gonna rock, then I’m gonna roll
Ya bones gonna pop, Down yall gonna go!
Duke gon' give it to ya, he gon' give it to ya

Re: Weston Museum

OOC:  So much going on.  Hopefully I get everything in order.  Big breath now...

-----> Dragon Fist

Without its head, the body of the mummified bull flails about in a mockery of a creatures death throes.  Before it can actually harm anything, or anyone, Dragon Fist is upon it.  The chi-formed sword becomes an arcing blur that sends chunks of undead bull to the ground.  The chunks no longer move.

-----> Daystar and Lifelight

The mummy that had decided to entertain Limelight, did not seem to appreciate the smiley face on her conjured shield.  It seemed to be more intent on trying to claw its way through it in order to get to Lifelight.  It clawed at the shield with some intensity, as if killing Lifelight was some divinely inspired life goal, but her shield appeared to be holding.

Daystar fended off the attacking undead through the judicious use of his crowbar.  The improvised weapon might not cut as cleanly as a chi-conjured or bright light sword, but it was just as effective.  Several swings later and there were shattered mummy bits at his feet.

Wilkes returned to grab another civilian.  "You guys have done this sort of thing before?" she said, seeming to be impressed with the pairs team work.

-----> Seraph, Duke Absalom and Maverick

Seraphs beams of golden light circled the room like a weedwacker.  Mummies, who did not seem to be intelligent enough to duck out of the way, were cut down.  The beam lanced through a few artifacts, display cases, and even a statue.

Duke ricocheted around the room like a pinball from hell.  Those mummies that Seraphs beams did not destroy, Dukes ball form shattered.  The mummies did not appear to be impressed by his singing.

Maverick, or Wraith, managed to deal with the mummies cats.  The smaller undead were more difficult for the others to hit but they did not escape his attention.

-----> Matt

The Museum administrator looks from Matt to the chaos around his museum and then back to Matt.  His eyes go wide, pleading.  "You...you can fix all of this?  You can restore the exhibit to its original condition?  That would be great.  Oh please do and we can..."  His expression becomes suspicious.  "Wait...are you...blackmailing me?"  The expression changes again, this time to one of dread.  "You are!  Why would a hero try to...You did all of this!  You animated the mummies in order to get money out of the museum!"

Slowly, the man backed away from Matt.

-----> Mittens

The guard remaining near Mittens, shrugs, looking unimpressed with the glowing sword thing that she had given him, and starts to walk into the exhibition hall.  He's probably going to help, but she doubts that he has anything more than a basic understanding of how to swing a sword.

The museum curator that was talking to Matt now seems to be in a new panic over something that Matt said.  It was clear from the mans body language that he now considered Matt to be some sort of new threat.  It was also clear that he did not hear what Mittens had said to him.

From her vantage point, it looked like the museum hallway was clearing up as the last of the fleeing patrons finally managed to get out through the front doors.  Those left were either injured in some manner, or, in the case of one individual, filming the whole thing on their smart phone.

"This is so going on my ViewTube channel."  The girl said with a grin as she panned the phone around the hallway.  She points the camera into the exhibition hall and grins as a beam of golden light tears through a statue dedicated to some Egyptian goddess.  "Cool.  Paras thrashing the museum."

-----> Everyone <-----

It took the assembled heroes only a few more minutes to clear out the exhibition hall of the undead.  The remains of mummified humans, cats, and a large bull were scattered about the hall.  The hall grew eerily quiet as the sound of battle ebbed, to be replaced by moans of injured and the sound of glass falling from display cases.

Sirens can be heard getting louder, announcing that soon Westons finest will be making their appearance.

Re: Weston Museum

  It says a lot about Matt's own life, and this guy's mindset, where the priorities of horror were.  "I mean, I COULD demand five dollars for my services, but I've already been fixing the physical exhibits for free while you are busy ranting."

  Matt has no physical need to sigh (and we still have no idea how he verbalizes), but he still does so as bisected artifacts pause mid dramatic separation, and he hammers CTRL+Z on property damage just in time for the wannabe clickbait maker (Far more effective than ruining their phone).

  "However, the trying task of doing your job and making sure this won't happen again, means I'll throw in the mummies as a bonus.  I'm not the one you need to convince to let you stay in charge of this place... Though I am morbidly curious how complaining to your boss He only fixed MOST of the exhibit destroyed under my watch! For Freeeeeeee! That sick monster! would turn out."

  Maybe it was mean to do a perfect imitation of his whining voice for that last bit?... Nah.  Repairing everything but mummies fast enough for Duke of all people to need a double take smothers that bit of bad manners guilt.

  Speaking of Mummies, the ones Matt had casually impaled through the head are deposited in a neat row for the sake of the poor clean up staff.

Re: Weston Museum

Dragon Fist listened briefly, now hearing the sirens.

He took a look at the assembled heroes. It was good to be part of a team....even if it was a random gathering, they seemed to have worked well together, dispensing with the mummies. But he could not help but wonder what....or whom....could have been behind such a stunt. Plus, he wasn't on the best of terms with the police.

"If anything else comes up, you can contact me through anyone at the Dragon and Tiger dojo. They'll get the message to me. For now, I have to go.."

Mits grins at Serena and gives a thumbs-up.  "Oooh!  A flavor that was mint to be!  You got it, buddie!"  Mummy slice!  She'll save the rest of the terrible puns she's thinking up for later.

-----> Maverick

Mits' eyes go wide at the sound of that voice.  "Woah.  Amazing voice you got there, Wraith!  Thanks for pitching in!"  Stab!

-----> Duke

Mits stops the movie style orchestral music when Duke starts singing and bobs her head to the music.  "Speedster AND a bard?  Didn't know!  Awesome!"  She has her boombox play the requested karaoke.  Zwoosh!

-----> ViewTube Girl

Mits smiles and waves to the girl's camera.  "Hi Mom!  Hi Dad!  Hey there, brave young videographer.  Might wunna get a selfie shot to prove to your friends it really was you who took that video."  Mummy-slicing pirouette!

-----> Matt / Daystar

Mits laughs from the mimicry!  "Facepalm!  I'm convinced this guy's just bonkers and not worthy of a reply at this point.  Thanks so much for fixing things!  You're the best!

"Consider me at your disposal for the follow-up investigating, Daystar!"


-----> Eerie Silence

With all the action over, Miss Adventure's boombox vanishes and thus the music stops playing.

-----> Dragon Fist

Mits has nooo idea what it's like to be in trouble with authorities.  She neever broke any alien laws while bouncing around in space.  Honest.  >.>  <.<  So she totally does not recognize Dragon Fist's eagerness to avoid the police.  "Sorry you won't be sticking around for milkshakes, but thanks a million for being so awesome, Dragon Fist!  Will do.  And the offer is reciprocal.  If you find yourself in need of a portal to get somewhere fast, call my hotline!  The A.I. prioritizes heroes and will patch you through to me in a jiff!  Big fan, by the way.  Social calls also welcome!"

A hand appears near Dragon Fist that offers him a custom calling card with Mits' hotline number on it along with various other contact info such as social media pages.  All the other heroes present would have been offered one just like it by now.  Just Mits isn't aware that Wraith already has one, so another is offered to him.

-----> The Police

Mits lightbulbs and realizes the police haven't yet been informed that the danger is passed and that the injured are being tended to, so she opens a tiny window to the police station's ceiling to search for someone who won't freak out that she's being all helpful and stuff.  Like a certain cheap suit guy whom we won't name would.  If she finds such an officer, she'll inform them that the danger is passed and ask that it please be passed along since she doesn't have permission to use the police radio frequency to make the announcement.  It's nerve-wracking enough as it is to wonder if innocent bystanders are dying while you're tearing through the streets to get to the museum without also wondering how in the world you're going to deal with mummies running around.  Cops don't need that.

Re: Weston Museum

For a moment, it looked like the museum administrator had no idea what Matt was talking about.  Once he saw the pile of reassembled mummies, his eyes lit up and he ran to them.  If it were possible to hug the desiccated remains, Matt was pretty sure that this guy would have done so, were it not for the fact that the man realized that the mummies were priceless and getting finger prints, or tears of joy, on them would be very bad.

"They're intact."  The man said in wonder.  The cloud of despair that he'd been hovering over the man began to dissipate.  "Thank god, they're intact.  We're...we're going to have to be very careful putting them back into their displays but..."  he wheeled around to face Matt. "Thank you.  Oh man, thank you so much."

-----> Everyone

The police started filing into the museum, weapons drawn and moving in tactical formation.  "Alright, nobody move!" the lead officer shouted, indicating the assembled heroes.  Keeping her eyes on the group, she motioned for the rest of the officers to fan out throughout the hallway.  "Someone want to tell me what's going on here?" she asked the group.

Re: Weston Museum

Wraith would have bowed to Dragon Fist and simply said "Understood." before Dragon Fist left.

Upon seeing the police, Wraith holds up his hands and says, "I'm with them." he points around at the other heroes.

Re: Weston Museum

"Thanks.." Dragon Fist replied, accepting the offered calling card from Mittens. Unsure if his most recent crusade had drawn the police's ire, he decided to not test the theory, just in case they wanted to at least take him for questioning, and made a winged exit from the museum.

Inside, he had a feeling that this was only the beginning.

Re: Weston Museum

  Matt can understand Dragon Fist's reluctance to stick around.  Thus far the police of the city have never cared even if Matt walks by them on the street, but the same could have been said of the civilian populace until tonight.

  He shrugs at the now thankful overworked staff member "That's me. The only para who cleans up after himself and others."  Though he's sure more would if they came with super NOT breaking things powers. Something something destruction is easier than creation cliche.  "Now remember, do your job in making sure this won't happen again, if you want the mummies fixed along with the rest.  Any damages remaining otherwise was quite literally, 'like that before I here'"... Okay, so Matt also used his PHENOMENAL UNEXPLAINED POWER to give the restrooms a proper cleaning.

  Matt's least humanoid trait has since retracted out of sight for the moment, but these days he misses it being out and about more than most would miss having thumbs.  "What the Angel said.  Attacking the living is a bigger concern than questionable mortal status."

OOC: I'll take 'Dumb things you have specified in your gamer life' for $500.  "Excuse me. I said several times I'd be fixing everything EXCEPT the mummies"

Re: Weston Museum

Seraph decided to pull a Mittens and looked at the gathering of police, paras, and people and said, completely deadpan, “The mummies wanted their mommies.”

Re: Weston Museum

----->  Lifelight and Daystar

As body armored police officers began to move through the museum, the security guard Wilkes came up to both Lifelight and Daystar.  "Hey...uhm...thanks again for saving me."  she said a little awkwardly.  It was hard to believe that she was almost killed by mummies.  When does that ever happen outside of the movies.  "Can I buy you both like a coffee or something?  Or is that not done?  I'm kinda new to this whole being saved by paras thing."

-----> Matt

The museum administrator looked up from his examination of the mummies towards Matt.  "prevent it from happening again?  I don't even know how this happened in the first place."

-----> Mittens

The two guards that Mittens had armed with her glowing swords came back to her.

"This blade is soo cool." the guard named Amir gushed.  "Can I keep it?  It'll look great in my collection alongside my Glamdring and Excalibur.  Does it have a name?"

The other guard, Denvers, shook his head as his eyes rolled up to the ceiling.  "You are such a nerd, Amir.  Here's your sword back lady."  He held out the sword to Mittens.  "Still would have preferred a gun, maybe a really big gun, but whatever."

-----> Everyone

The lead officer listened to everyones explanations and slowly holstered her weapon.  "Mummies.  Riiiiiight." The officer, whose badge had the name Wilkes on it, said slowly, as if wondering if the assembled paras were trying to prank her.  They seemed to have the right attitude to do something like that.  "Well, I guess that makes things simple.  Reanimated mummies would technically fall under the purview of the Special Cases Unit.  Okay, so I'm going to need you all to stick around for a few minutes so that we can get your official statements and then you're all free to leave.  It's not as if I could stop you paras anyways....now if you'll excuse me, I need to coordinate with the paramedics and that mob outside."

She looks over at Wraith.  "You can put your hands down.  Thanks for that though.  Nice to see someone has some respect for the police in this town."

The officer turned to leave while another pair of similarly dressed police come towards the group to take their statements.

Re: Weston Museum

  An actual good question from the administrator, they learn fast. "Yeah, but you can grant official access to research materials like that other guy was asking.  Just sit back, and tell the press and shareholders you are a 'valuable contributing to the investigation'. I've found it amazing how far being unobtrusive can take you."

  He thumbs towards all the repaired stuff "After all, you 'convinced the paras involved' to already save the museum untold finances in repairs." Wow, you can practically feel the airquotes there.

  Oh right, cops. Yet another underpaid job today. "The cops have never shot at me in all my years openly showing my face on the streets, and I would love to keep that streak running officer." Pay no attention to the fact some of those years were in space.
