Paragonandroid pulled a pistol and pointed it at the driver of a Corvette. The driver stopped and got out with his hands up, which propmted her to throw him to the ground and step on him, on not over, to take the vehicle. She raised her middle finger to the pursueing officers, closed the door  and slammed on the accelerator, running the poor driver over in the process. "Run run run fast as you can, can't catch me I'm the Gingerbread Man!"

Justicar holds his position engaging the Winter Herald combatant... uncertain what to think of its warning yet continued threat.  But his 360^degree Visual H.U.D. on the inside of his helmet notes Paragon's flight and the civilian casualties IT is causing...

Hikari directs K2 to launch his last drone, Drone-Delta and fly it NoE one foot off the ground angling it around to come at the stolen corvette from the rear below the level any of its mirrors can see.  At the drone's potential 100mph the corvette cannot possibly outrun in time to prevent the drone from attaching a tracer to the rear of the speeding vehicle with one of its mechanical utility arms.

The drone makes no attempt to stop the fleeing vehicle...



OOC:
Questions -
1. Did Justicar hit Drifter in the net?
2. Is Drifter still typing on some PDA or laptop?
3. Did the LESP personnel hit or miss Paragon with any of their weapons?

"DESTROY THIS BODY SO I CAN FOCUS ON THE JUNGLE!"

As Drifter sits within the net and containment field, he calmly continues typing on the terminal. Januchowski backpedals with his hands up till he reaches a glass-covered switch next to the fire alarm. When Januchowski reaches closer to the wall he slams an elbow into the glass, shattering the cover and flipping the switch at the same time. ALL computer systems connected to the LESP power system become dark and silent. Drifter stops typing and starts tearing at the net on him. Paragon roars off down the road in the corvette, then performs a bootlegger's reverse and accelerates.

Paragon floored the accelerator, after some squealing and smoke the vehicle leapt forward towards the LESP offices.

In reply to Winter Herald (msg # 565):

Justicar's expression could not be read behind his visor but he curtly nodded and backed off from Winter-Android pivoting position so no innocents were directly behind the Android-Imposter in the direct line from Justicar...

Sheathing his Bastard Sword with a magnetic clamp at his back as the mechanical sheath automatically unfolded and wrapped around the blade holding it secure ~ Justicar Aimed his right - Blaster Hand at the Winter-Imposter 'the safeties had been released already', and fires three volleys of his Quintet-fire linked finger blasters at the Android.

Two to the head {called shots TN12}, and one to the chest...

"Good bye..."

The high-pitched whine of the battery of quin-mounted Blaster Finger Weapons screamed ending in a thunderous ripple of reports ~ 'ZAA-Za-Za-Za-Za! ZAA-Za-Za-Za-Za! ZAA-Za-Za-Za-ZaZOWWWwww!!!'

K2 continues to follow Paragon-Imposter stolen Corvette with Drone-Delta at the limits of its surveillance range with the planted tracer using the building cover and terrain to conceal itself.  It need not get close using its sensor limbs to peek around cover to keep itself unexposed to observation while it easily keeps up with the sports car on its 100mph hover systems.  It will record and capture the visuals on any vehicles, license plates and descriptions gathered to take the android-imposter should IT switch vehicles and keep feeding this intel to the police bands to close in the net to cut off all escape.

"nya NYA naa naa naa naaa" Drifter taunts as he types

JUSTICAR's blaster shots obliterate the Winter Herald wannabe, actually ripping the head from the neck. As it bounces to the wall, it becomes totally inert. The Winter Herald body runs, at a rapidity that didn't even begin to approach that of the real Winter Herald, straight into wall beside the main exit. The partial robot remains where it stopped. One leg lifted as if to keep running, the robot's arms stretch straight up and the hands keep attempting to grasp the air.
Januchowski picks up a belt of small discs, apparently left behind when the other uniforms chased after Paragon. He pulls a disc off the belt, does something that makes the disc light up, and rushes towards Drifter with the disc outstretched. As he runs into the force field the disc sparks and falls to the ground as Januchowski hops back shaking his singed fingers and stating, "ouch. Ouch. Ouch."
The increasing roar of an automobile engine begins to grow, as if it approaches.

In reply to SSOGM (msg # 570):

Justicar satisfied.. if personally emotionally at least 'conflicted' at the destruction of the Android with Winter Herald's... his friend's voice.  But he does not let that stop him from immediately following Januchowski's example and moved over to the fallen uniform to snatch up two of the discs and moves to Januchowski's side commenting, "Sorry Januchowski, those are charged fields... not advisable to touch! K2 drop field 2 from Drone-Beta."

When the field flickers out in front of him he steps over to Drifter, activates the disk as he saw Januchowski do and slaps it on Drifter in the net while stowing the second disc in a suit compartment.

18:44, Today: JUSTICAR rolled 26 using 1d100 with rolls of 26.  Adv Audio-System: Estimate Speed/Direction '89%'. – 26

18:43, Today: JUSTICAR rolled 73 using 1d100 with rolls of 73.  Adv Audio-System: Estimate Distance '98%'. – 73


He turns toward the sound of the approaching engines, combat computer locking his target array on the hostile... "Januchowski, get to cover we may have a hostile vehicle inbound...!"

In reply to Drifter (msg # 572):

{NOTE: This Scene is not IN the LESP Office Firestation Building but outside where it seems the personnel are being evacuated and the building is smoking from a recent explosion, clearly heard is the fire Alarm ~ still rigging}

Justicar notes on his 360 Degree Visual H.U.D. the arrival of Drifter through the dimensional threshold of his powers with Lady Jane but he he does not turn toward him - keeping attention on the approaching vehicle. Briefly, Hikari scans with his Quantum Pulse Particle Detector to see if it registers the dimensional portal anomaly created by a potentially genuine Drifter but for good measure he also takes a reading from his Android Detector scanning the newly arrived Drifter to verify he is real and not a replicant infiltrator/saboteur.

12:31, Today: JUSTICAR rolled 15 using 1d100 with rolls of 15.  Justicar - Read Sensor Instruments 'Scans with Q-P Particle  & Android Detector' [107%]. – 15

Justicar answers, "No. Not a dummy ~ an Android Assassin Duplicate Saboteur with your likeness.  At least two such infiltrator Androids, likely FORCE's Doing, one of YOU Drifter and one of Paragon... possibly more got into LESP HQ and planted an unknown number of bombs.  One Explosive bomb has already gone off... and Killed our newest Team prospect ~ Shockwave in the blast...", his expression is hidden behind his helmet but the anguish in his stricken tone is obvious.

Justicar gestured toward the Medical Gurney with the covered corpse being rolled out of the LESP HQ.

After a pause he continued, "An E-Swat Team is inbound to sweep the building for more explosives, I would not advise entering the Offices until they have arrived and completed their sweep of the building."

Still not turning to directly face Drifter focused on looking for more threats, he asks, "Why are You and Lady Jane here Drifter and not with the team?  Has something gone wrong on the Op?  Do they need backup is anyone injured??"


Justicar backs away from the 'netted' Android-Drifter, and K2 reactivates Drone-Beta's Force Shield boxing Android-Drifter in again...

Questions for GM ~
1. Does the Quantum Pulse Particle Detector register newly arrived Drifter's dimensional transit portal?
2. Does the newly arrived Drifter register as an Android?
3. What progress has the Drone Projected Force Field Baracaded Android-Drifter had with getting out of the net?
4. Did the disk attached to Android-Drifter have any effect?
5. What is the nature of the approaching vehicle?

In reply to Drifter (msg # 574):

Justicar's expression cannot be seen under his visor... though his posture and pause ... give some indication that he is pondering Drifter's suggestion.

A significant pause later he comment's simply, "...I'm not even going to bother commenting upon the absurdity of that possibility... but IF I know anything about that .. 'reality' YOU are proposing to mess with... the KI's of that reality know of alternate dimensions and monitor specifically for such outside plunderer visitations."

"If you think you can help save Shockwave, I cannot stop you from trying... but please Drifter do not start some Inter-Dimensional Incident that might bring trouble to our reality that none of our denizens here is ready for or can deal with! In any case you should ask Detective Broyko before you do ANYTHING like that... and consider the unexpected and unintentional consequences of revealing the existence of our reality to such a universe clearly of different physics than our own?"

"Justicar you seem to keep overlooking that I am an interdimensional incident.  My very presence here should never have occurred!

But here I am a round peg in a square hole.  To be frank though! I Am not the only one."

In reply to Drifter (msg # 576):

Hikari rolls his eyes, As usual Drifter is so 'not here' in any one dimension he doesn't consider the consequences of his actions or galavanting accross time/space because, of course, HE does not have to face any of the results of his actions! He can just go to another reality.  Nothing really matters to him ... its all flights of fancy.

But Justicar is not going to be distracted debating with the dimensional leprechaun over his utter lack of concern for anything but the next big thrill... Hikari can't just skip out to another reality if he doesn't like how things are going ~ he must deal with the realities of the ~ Here and Now!

So the young hero makes no reply ignoring the will'o-whisp dimensional traveler, but focuses on the approaching vehicle sounds and queries the police channel on the ETA of the E-SWAT Bomb sweeping crew.

seeing that there has been no confirmation from anyone concerning the welfare of the deceased Hero, Drifter just leaves things as they are.

The roar from the car approaching the building becomes louder, it appears some has floored it.
This message was last edited by the GM at 06:26, Mon 22 Apr.

moving to the entry Drifter will look out at the vehicle to see if he can get a look at the driver

Justicar locks his weapons array upon the approaching car... which he can only assume is some form of car bomb...

"K2 target the approaching vehicles wheels...  do not let it explode from weapons fire!"

Then Hikari opens his visor and switches to his energy form and exits as Justar... flying toward the approaching vehicle he tries to stop its engine...

His voice now crackling with energy, "EVERYONE GET BACK... FIND COVER ~ CAR BOMB!!!"

K2 locks its left shoulder-mounted laser upon the forward wheels and opens up with a two long-burst with the laser weapon at the both tires... and moves first panning left then strafing right to get the best angle on the wheel targets employing the MK IV suit's most accurate weapon for precision results...

Each burst of laser fire is aimed to destroy the tire - wheel and all... each burst 20 shots... ending in the complete discharge of the E-Cell power... causing the laser to go off-line as the auto loader cycled and began to replace the spend E-cell storing the  now powerless cell.  Rendering the laser weapon no longer useful for more weapons fire for the rest of the fire exchange...

Justar flew towards the onrushing car and hopeful he could forestall the vehicle without detonating it ... So he opens fire with a singular Static Bolt attack aimed at the engine in hopes he can disable to alternator electrical car battery system to try to stall the engine out.

Questions for GM ~
1. Does the Quantum Pulse Particle Detector register newly arrived Drifter's dimensional transit portal?
- No. Drifter apparently uses some other mechanism for multiversal travel.
2. Does the newly arrived Drifter register as an Android?
- no
3. What progress has the Drone Projected Force Field Baracaded Android-Drifter had with getting out of the net?
- None, whatsoever. That android must have been made for something other than brute force.
4. Did the disk attached to Android-Drifter have any effect?
- Yes,  the droid now sit under the net typing on a keyboard that has slipped out from under his hands. It appears mindless.
5. What is the nature of the approaching vehicle? {ie: make/model, 2-door 'sports', 4-door 'sedan', truck, station wagon, police cruiser 'what??? ~ some desription other than just "car"...'}
- It's a vintage red 1997 Firebird driven by a maniacal android. One can only assume there was a car show nearby.
This message was last edited by the player at 01:50, Tue 23 Apr.

JUSTAR's bolt of energy manages to silence the engine of the Firebird, but the driving android had, literally, driven the accelerator pedal into the floorboard. Rather than stop, the vehicle slammed into and bounced over the curb before skidding to a halt at the doors of the LESP offices. Suddenly, there is a mass exodus as numerous personnel evacuate the offices.
The android sitting in the car appears to be quiescent, as if waiting for something, just as the Drifter android inside is doing. There was a small amount of chaos in the street as the Paragon-android's driving was either erratic or intentionally disruptive. The uniformed officers that exited the building disperse into the streets to try to maintain order. Broyko is on his phone, scrolling and swiping left or right as he gives orders to the men.

In reply to SSOGM (msg # 582):
Justar moves at the stollen Corvette being driven by Android-Paragon... he flies into the front grille of the car in his semi-intangible energy cloud form and touches booth the altinater and battery with his energy form's energy punch... Destroying Both components of the engine, hopefully shutting the engine down immediately...

- Semi-Intangible: plenty of space in a Engine compartment of Corvette

Flying out of the engine compartment... Justar Yells "K2, TARGET THIS CORVETTE'S TIRES NOW!"

K2 turns and targets the Speeding Corvette's tires with two short bursts from the suit's right shoulder-mounted 5.56mm light machine gun... laser targeting locks-in and unleashes two short bursts of bullet-fire at the Tires of the speeding corvette...

Vam-Vam-Vam-Vam-Vam-Vam-Vam-Vam-Vam ~!!!!!!!!!
Vam-Vam-Vam-Vam-Vam ~!!!!!

Even though Justar is within the danger space of the spray of bullets K2 does not hold back... as any stray rounds that do strike Justar... pass utterly harmless through his energized form.  K2 does not miss his targets... the burst targeted to shred the tires and destroy the forward wheels of the vehicle if possible to bring it also to a skidding hault!

Meanwhile...
Drone-Delta which K2 had been controlling to tag and follow the stolen corvette and android-Paragon... no longer being controlled as K2 goes on the offensive ... goes into [ Standby Mode ]...

The drone flies up 40'ft as the stolen corvette never left the area and hovers stationary  monitoring all radio transmission in the area... awaiting new properly encrypted commands...

- As far as that goes, the tires were shot out, the car scraped along to stop at the office doors. That would be stopped.

The Paragon android reaches down and rips at something. The Drifter android stops typing and looks up, then says, "hey, 'ski. If you run out now you might make it."
The headless Winter Herald android spits sparks from its neck. Then they explode. All three androids are obliterated by the explosives they carried. Out front, a smashed car blazes as the force of the explosion knocks the nearer policemen off their feet. Inside, the two droids weren't confined by an automobile. The devestation is worse.
Cubicles, desks, whiteboards are destroyed. The walls show the incredible forces at play, some bowed out as if they're rubber being stretched by a strong wind. Other walls have been broken loose of the foundation or the ceiling or both. These lay at haphazard angles. Electric wires spark, and water sprays from the pipes.
Outside, when the android exploded the car was ripped in half. The center of the car leapt into the air while the front and rear wheels never left the ground. The gasoline from the tank didn't have time to spread far, mostly the car was burning. It became an inferno obliterating all traces of the Paragon android.

OOC: anything inside the offices within twenty feet of either android deals with 150 points of damage
anything within twenty feet of the Paragon android deals with 100 points of damage

In reply to SSOGM (msg # 584):

The Winter Herald-Android android AND the Drifter-Android explode inside the building, but the Drone emitted force fields contained most of Android-Drifter's explosion. The Winter Herald android wasn't encased in any ameliorating force and that was the explosion that did most of the damage.

The Paragon-Android in the car outside the building seemed less of an explosion (lower damage) because it was contained in the damaged automobile.

But ALL personnel had evacuated...

K2 piloting the Justicar Mk IV was hovering near where the first car the Firebird had skid to a halt near the LESP main entrance tries to roll with the explosion to mitigate some of the explosive impact...

13:05, Today: JUSTICAR rolled 19 using 1d20+1 with rolls of 18.  K2 - Roll with Impact {TN 8# - Ranged base as the bomb made no 'attack roll'} [+1]. – [roll=1714928700.85292.355584]

...and deftly jets away from the explosion wrapping its mechanical wings to absorb some of the explosive force as it lands with a thuds using the pressure wave to move it out of the damage shrapnel cloud...

Damage: 50 SDC {25 MB-Armor [700/ 675], 25-Flight Pack Wings [100/ 75]}

While inside the building only seen as a very brief incandescent electric flash of blue light the Drones Force Field Emitters are overloaded and their fields Drop... however the explosive wave of the detonating Drifter-Android are significantly reduce even though all four drones are engulfed in a cloud of explosive debris. They knocked off their stationary anchors but re-stabilize themselves on their hovering thrusters... Clearly their battered armor tells the tale of how much explosive force they took... but they are still functional.

Damage: 20 SDC each {MB-Armor 50/ 30}[Force Fields 80SDC overcome 'fields disabled']

Justar being only feet away from the Exploding Paragon-Android Stolen Corvette is engulfed in the full explosion...



... being in his energy form the explosion rolls over him with Absolutely no effect whatsoever, it being a physical explosive effect.

Justar wastes no time a flying dash into the building seeking out Januchowski and finding him in the evidence lockup unharmed (he already thought a speeding car was going to crash into the building and was running to a safe place).

He will escort Januchowski out... and float over to Detective Broyko crossing his arms his floating golden energy forms gets a somewhat petulant look on his features when his crackling ionized voice retorts, "..Now will you consider using my Android Detector tech to screen against terrorist attacks like This one?!?"
This message was last edited by the player at 17:32, Sun 05 May.

Broyko is staring at the building, looking around at his officers, and using his phone.
"We just weathered a sophisticated, powerful, and well-planned terrorist attack. At this point, I can say that only the actions of non-human LESP personnel allowed us to suffer the attack with no casualties. No, we won't be discriminating against non-human intelligences."
The detective stops, and fixes JUSTAR with a serious stare before he continues. "We won't be using our newly issued UMD, either. You might not have seen it, but Emerson Electronics had developed a working mutant detector. Intel got the design, they'll be everywhere in no time flat."

In reply to Detective Broyko (msg # 586):

Justar floated some 5'ft up and 10'ft distant above Detective Broyko... but his scowl was evident even on his golden energized body...

He drifted close and in a flash of psuedo-Black light he transformed back into his costumed Black and White, Star-Patterned flesh and blood human form landing lightly on his feet ~ his scowl clear as he met the Detective's gaze in full measure, "I think you should SERIOUSLY Reconsider that stance!"

"Believe me, I'm fully appreciative of your gratitude for being the most obvious metahuman here that helped save lives today... but for every metahuman like me.. there are potentially 10 more who could slaughter literally hundreds on a mistaken whim without any need of malice for just having a plain 'bad day' or a critical lapse of judgement at some unfortunate split-second at the Wrong time!"

"WE METAHUMANS ARE DANGEROUS!  We wield power that bends the Very laws of reality... with such Power comes the weight of a higher Social Responsibility.. that needs accountability to society that we Use and Control our power with a higher level of scrutiny and moral obligation to our fellow humans!"

"In this case I must grudgingly Agree with Emerson that a way to discern who is and is not a metahuman is needed!  Would ANY police department or Government Facility Anywhere in the world allow some random civi off the street to walk into their building with a loaded Bazooka brandishing on their shoulder casually?  Of COURSE NOT!  Listen to me carefully... a 40mm RPG Grenade launcher is a gnat's fart compared to the destruction I could unleash with my bare hands!"

"Metahumans cannot be conveniently 'disarmed' so we must hold Ourselves to a higher level of social responsibility!  Common Sense regulation, self-identification and monitoring are reasonable social restrictions on us when we are allowed to enter Public ~ Government, Law Enforcement, and potentially even Medical Facilities!  This is NOT saying we should sweep the city for metahumans invade the personal privacy of citizens and round them all up to put in concentration camps... that is taking the bogus and specious stance your American Gun-Lobby uses to stop ANY Reasonable Gun Control Legislation!  This is Exactly the same!  Society MUST mature from penduluming from one Far-Right Extremist view to some equally horrid Far-Left Radical Extreme Stance.  Reasonable restriction, regulation, self-identification, and monitoring with detection technology of potentially dangerous individuals Within Sensitive Public Government, Law Enforcement and Medical locations is not going off to Fascism and Genocide!  Its being socially Responsible and Accountable!"

"Would you think justice is served by a lawyer gifted with psionics probing the defendant's mind to find evidence ignoring the right of due process here in your courts?  Or someone gifted with metahuman 'luck' winning all the lotteries?  Or some metahuman with emotion control skewing election results?"

"Society NEEDS to know if some kid is actually a android with a bomb inside walking into a hospital or some angry divorce husband decides to go blast up a courthouse with his lightning powers cause he wants payback on the judge and witnesses!  You have already said these UMD 'Mutant Detectors' are being made and implemented... its GOING to happen... we must embrace this and set the regulation and restrictions on the use of such technology to help Set the guard-rails for its humane use and fair implementation ... not run from it and let the wicked-hearted RACISTS, and Evil Tyrannical GOVERNMENTS of the world set what is the Standard!  Believe me I KNOW the tech will be abused... but we must be brave and embrace knowledge and show a better way to use such technology with Metahumanity to make us all safe... We must grow up as a Society!"

He sighs deeply... pinching the bridge of his nose... and calming his nerves.

He meets the Detective's gaze again, more composed;"Trust me Detective Broyko as one of the most powerful metahumans you are likely to encounter face-to-face ~ Not KNOWING is NOT SAFER for ANYONE! You, Me, and humankind in general!"

"Look we may just have to Agree to Disagree on this matter.... but if you have an issued UMD 'Mutant Detector'... may I analyze it please?  Cause if You won't use it.. I certainly will!"
