Re: Guidance System...
Wrap-up:
After a few minutes Vosper's wounds are all closed, including the horrific one on her head, with not a scar to see. She wakes up and looks good as new, aside from the blood on her uniform. Searching the 1st level the group finds no other enemies and the situation remains silent. Radio silence is broken to inform Commander Barnes that the enemies have been routed and the base is secure. He replies that reinforcements are on their way in and should be expected within 60 minutes.
The group finds no sign of the Russian supers and their soldier allies as they search the remaining levels. On level 4 (the storage level) they find a skeleton crew of soldiers, scientists, and staff from both the installation and the facilities topside. They are all unharmed aside from a bit of a hangover-like effect from the sleeping agent used. Checking level 5 (the research level) the group finds that there is no "trapped" soldier although the room where he would have been trapped had a coded lock. Inside that room is a terminal that allows access to the research & testing room where the device is kept. The scientists point out the entire room is surrounded by a impenetrable energy field that needs to be deactivated by a specific code. Cutting off the power precipitously would have resulted in a self-destruct of the device and any stored data. The handful of scientists that possessed the code are all on leave, leading to the assumption that the Russians timed their raid poorly, possibly due to incomplete information. Had Oscillator allowed himself to be led down to the research level the woman probably would have tried to have him crack the code to access the device.
As stated, within 1 hour a substantial amount of soldiers arrive, including some with obviously advanced armor and weaponry, to secure the entire area. Commander Barnes expresses appreciation at the efforts of the group. He is somewhat disappointed the villains got away, but the group accomplished the primary and secondary mission goals; securing the technology and rescuing any hostages. From the descriptions the party gives of the pair of villains Commander Barnes is able to formulate a profile which will be ran through computers to get a specific match although the name "Shroud" is recognized by him. A flight is secured to transport the group back to their base.
OOC: All conversation can now go to the SMITE Base and HQ thread and I will be closing this one.
Everyone receives 740 xp for the soldiers defeated plus an additional 200 xp for accomplishing the stated mission goals.
