Mindstrike - At Home...

When you get in the door, Hiromi seems to find you while she is preoccupied with her phone by accident. "Oh...I'm glad I found you.  I have an updated on Ms. Johnston.  It seems that the non-profit behind the corporation behind the corporation that is paying for everything is a philanthropic organization and little more.  I'm looking into who is behind that more.  But I have found that it has a few wards that it takes care of through direct payments.  Ms. Johnston...a college fund for a college fund for a Ms. Pacewicz and...a few singular donations to a few funerals for CPD officers and first responders.  The non-profit is called the Better Star fund. I'll keep digging."

She, dressed much like you, seems done for the day, "I own a dinner to my doctor friend for getting me started without having to go to the son of Ms. Johnston."  And she flops down on the couch.

Rei listens to Hiromi and says, "That's good. Use the business account and take the doctor somewhere nice."

She then says, "I have run across an attempted robbery of Nazi documents that may be an inside job. I have the information being looked over. I'm looking over the information on Ghost Hand to see when and where might be the best time to find him in Chinatown."

Then she says, "I'm starving. What are you in the mood for?"

A evil smile plays over her face, "I and the good doctor are going to The Rosebud...so no steak for us...how about Mediterranean.  I have a taste for baba ghanoush.  Don't know why."  She shrugs her shoulders.

"Oh...the security meeting went fine.  Most of the work will be done without interruption and they will minimize everything they can around the office.  What else was I supposed to tell you?  Ahhh...wait...Nazi documents?  Not something you hear everyday.  Do tell."

Rei side-eyes her sister, "You enjoy the steaks at The Rosebud, but what would make you think I would want a takeout steak? Mediterranean sounds good. Something spicy with lamb sounds good to me."

At the mention of the security meeting she says, "All we can do for security is minimize human error."

At the mention of the Nazi documents she shrugs, "I won't know until I get the translation and comparison scan tomorrow."

She then says, "Oh, Monica has an idea for using elephants for the Alzheimer's drugs and treatments. I've asked her to see if she can find elephants for some video and still photography for the campaign."

Somehow, it seems almost odd for her to mention actual business related work.

"I'll pickup the information from Monica and see if I can get a first review from the R&D team.  France or US team?  Also, you have a few messages from an Agent Buenger from the ACTPE.  It came in just after you were done at Northerly Island.  He seems to have a fire under him."

She starts to hit a few items on here phone, "Ordered.  There was something else you wanted me to look into...but I can't remember what it is right now...?"

Rei says, "The initial rollout will be here in the U.S. The trials were all good with no side effects of any serious nature.

Then she sighs, "I'll return Agent Buenger's messages tomorrow."

Then she says only one word, "Predator."

She then looks over her information on Ghost Hand sightings and shows Hiromi a picture, "I will be approaching this fellow, Ghost Hand, for the team in the next few days. I'm looking over his appearances in Chinatown to figure the best place to find him."

She whips through a few screens on her phone, "Oh yeah, Predator.  OK...so far I've been able to piece together the following.  Estimated height is 6'3".  His weight is 253 pounds and not a bit of fat.  It seems he stepped on a scale at a doctor's office when he stopped a break-in.  It was caught on camera.  Jeans, no shoes...yuck, a cowl, leather arm bands and a glowing eyes.  A police report said 'reflective eyes', so there is some debate there.  He seems to be able to lift car without effort.  He has been known to throw sewer covers at people...although he does seem to save that for people that can take it.  He faced off against somebody similar to him and took out all the stops...the guy is still not fully healed.  Climb walls without a problem...jump between buildings without a problem...and he is known to be an ass  He has been seen on the south side, south-west side and doesn't seem to leave the city.  I collected that off a few sites.  Oh...oh...he has been shot by police and it didn't even slow him down."  She gives a he sounds terrific smile.

Rei is less impressed and more concerned as to what she has decided to do, "I might be able to take a hit from him, but I doubt I could so much as get his attention without my telekinetic blades, but I want to bring him in, not kill him."

She then sighs, "I will need a team to go after him...and you don't have to be so impressed by him. I'm bulletproof with my telekinetic field up."

"Impressed...he seems like an ass.  Worried, yeah.  But we've been through that."

"Of course he is. He's a hyper-violent psychopath by the looks of it. He would be at home in some dystopian film."

She laughs at that and mumbles something about <I>Lord Humungus</>.  "The only other thing of note is that it seems his worst beatings are reserved for crimes involving children and women.  I cannot say he has been lenient on women as there seems to be no news reports of him confronting a woman.  There is one rumored encounter with the ACTPE and an unknown other who 'used shadows', but the details are sketchy at best."

"On this Ghost Hand, you think he is more than a MMA fighter?"

Rei shrugs, "I'm more than a flying MMA fighter, so he could be. Even if he is just a well trained normal, he could be great to train members of the team. Someone with superhuman strength is dangerous, but if they are a trained fighter, they would be terrifying."

Then she says, "I was thinking less Mad Max and more Clockwork Orange as dystopias go."

She laughs again and mumbles milk bars.  She sighs, <Pink>"So what do you want me to do next?"

Trying, and miserably failing, to sound like Malcolm McDowell in his Northern English accent Rei says, "I bet Predator has milk with something extra to sharpen him up and make him ready for bit of the old ultra-violence."

Then she drops the terrible accent and says, "At least he doesn't have droogs."

She laughs again, "That was bad.  Really bad.  Oh shit...I forgot to tell you...in some of the comments of the sites that track heroes, some people think there is a copy cat Predator in Chicago.  They correlated dates and times, and seemed to think he could not have either made it from one location in a report to another location, or the times overlapped.  People quickly pointed out that none of this was scientific and that any supposed overlap was actually bad data.  So...what do you say to droogs again??"  She gives a little smile.

Rei shakes her head, "The idea of more than one of him is bad."

Then she sighs, "Why did I tempt the gods?"

She then goes back to her research on Ghost Hand to determine the best place to encounter him until the takeout arrives.

The remainder of the night is quiet.

[OOC]Give me questions on Ghost Hand and I'll see what you find.  Otherwise, we'll cut to a new thread for the next day.

Chinatown.  He has been seen out a lot on Fridays-Saturday and holidays (handling small time problems).  He has been seen in the Ping Tom Park many times as there is gang activity that happens there often.

[OOC]
As we are not in sync with everybody, time can be fluid.  You have a discussion pending on the review of stolen items, but that is the only critical item.  Time, with some role play and a paragraph or two can move very quickly.  Don't know what you want first.  Let us say it is Thursday morning.

[OOC: This would be Thursday night as this is the same day as the MSI robbery which was at like 2 PM.
We can gloss over to get to the meat. That's fine.]
