The holding cell is there but empty.  There is not much left.  An issue of Guns and Ammo in the trash, A large spray painted green letter V that is circled, few desks, chars, pens, paper.  An apple core.  But nothing electronic.

. We know people have hoUses, lives, and so on.  We understand that.  But being connected with Primus has its perks.  Like having communication earpieces easily to disguise as jewelry, earbuds, etc. Plus you could always call for help.  Here are some starter ear buds for. You all. hands out ear buds

Now, int rolls criminology rolls, etc but read the room description first came let me know if anything stands out

In reply to Derek Shaw (msg # 32):

20:21, Today: Majestic Ocean rolled 6 (with 1 body) using 3 with the Hero (Champions) system with rolls of 1, 4, 1.  Criminology 14-.

"I hope it's waterproof..."

"The 'V' sticks out to, at least as an amateurish way to pin the move on Vibron.  The Guns and Ammo is odd as I don't see anyone we've met so far as a gun guy..."

Sharp looks over the area and starts to say "you're right. That's more...". He pulls out his Crime kit and extracts the Guns and Ammo magazine. Putting it on the table, he says "I wouldn't be surprised if there is a hidden message to me in this issue. I sent a rather cryptic message to the Baron, and he may be replying."

In reply to Sharpshooter (msg # 34):

"I don't really see Teuton as a taunter, at least not when he's on the defensive.  It MAY be from Reflex to help.  Lay it out on the table, I'm a pretty good codebreaker...if you need it..."

In reply to Majestic Ocean (msg # 31):

"When it's done, it's supposed to let me walk through walls by creating a portal through the eighth dimension. The last time I tested it, the portal disgorged a half dozen giant six-legged arthropods."
With a shrug, Flicker manages to finish with "I guess there's still a few bugs in the system."
Allowing himself to drift back from the current of time, Flicker quickly examines the room in depth.

INT roll, using speed thinking, made roll by four
00:23, Today: Flicker rolled 13 (with 4 body) using 3 with the Hero (Champions) system with rolls of 6, 6, 1.  INT roll at +5 (-17).

Sharp groans. "Arthropods? Bugs in the system? Are y'all tryin' to make insect puns?" He places the magazine on the table and skims back to the personal ads.

In reply to Sharpshooter (msg # 37):

Nightshade didn't roll so sees nothing unusual

Flicker. It occurs to you that Chuck the scientist could have written the teleport plans to save himself. He was captured.  Teutonic has boasted before, SS knows thks well. He'd rather invent his own thing but has used other sources too.   its possible the formula used is slightly different than the mind controlling one used

Doll.  The Apple has a clear bite marrk.  You don't know of AAI ability to avoid capture but bite marks can be used in court. The circled V is a viper logo

Ocean. Wasn't there something under your cage?

SS.  The magazine is all about WWII guns and ammo, mostly German,  this was from your nemesis.  AAI might just not know about the meta power giving serum until after the onslaught of Amok.  Teuton and the scientist may have been contacted by AAI for the calming formula.

3 am.. -2 to any further rolls

In reply to Sharpshooter (msg # 37):

"It wasn't at all humorous. I had relocated to Nevada for safety's sake, and if it weren't for Storax we would have been completely overrun."
Flicker zips away, only to return a few short moments later with an odd device. "I'm going to check for background levels of odd energies. I'm not seeing anything else, right now."

OOC: using a device he previously made
Flicker rolled 12 (with 3 body) using 3 with the Hero (Champions) system with rolls of 5, 4, 3.  look for invisible stuff, INT roll at +5 (-17).
made it by 3 considering the penalty

In reply to Flicker (msg # 39):

"We might. want to check the under.sid.e of the floor of my
  cell..."

Sharp goes to wherever MO indicates and lifts the cage clear, moving it to the side (30 Str should suffice).

In reply to Sharpshooter (msg # 41):

You see the plate and wires under it.  Some wires can be traced.  It may pinpoint a location.  You could try to trace them, you could try to decipher the magazine.  You could see if AAI was in the building by the bites mark.  .  but what you all really want to do is go to bed unless you don't need sleep.

Plus, don't you all have lives.  You need to check in every once in a while

(say goodnight if you are ready to go to the next afternoon)

In reply to Quozaxx (msg # 42):

"Ok...it's late.  And I have class tomorrow.  But Doll and I need a ride.  Hopefully my chair wasn't stolen and Vinton was smart enough to push it inside to cover up my kidnapping..."

Sharp says "I'll take the magazine, maybe browse through it after a couple hours of sleep. I tend to work nights anyways."

In reply to Quozaxx (msg # 42):

“I'll take a few pictures of what we've found here before I go.” says Nightshade, pulling out her cellphone.

Before taking pictures, she looks to Majestic Ocean, “When and where are we regrouping, Ocean?”

In reply to Nightshade (msg # 45):

Flicker realizes he had to teach a class in less than 5 hours

In reply to Nightshade (msg # 45):

"Let's regroup at my place, it's only a couple doors down from where Amok showed up.  Since I don't have a vehicle currently it'll just be easier."

Standing facing the wall, the spray painted emblem on the wall almost seemed to resemble a downward arrow pointing in the direction of the diminutive woman gazing up at it.  The first impression that came to mind was that it had to stand for Vibron, but it suddenly occurred to Doll that she had seen it somewhere else....

"I don't think that 'V' is for 'Vibron'," she explained to the others. "That's a 'V' as in 'Viper'."

"Are they connected to this?  Or maybe they're the competition, sending a message to stay out of their business?" she speculated aloud.

Doll approached Agent Shaw to notify him about another one of her findings.
"There's a discarded apple with some well-defined bite marks.  I think that's something that you'll want to have your team process as soon as possible before it starts to rot."

The shrunken superhero politely covered her mouth as the urge to yawn overwhelmed her.

"I think that's all for me tonight," she told the others almost apologetically.  "I'll catch up with you when we meet again.... or sooner, if there's another incident before then."

"I have someplace I have to be in the morning, and I'll need a little sleep. Perhaps we could meet again sometime tomorrow to continue this investigation. I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one that needs a break."

In reply to Doll (msg # 48):

"OH, I almost forgot,  you weren't there when Amok surfaced."

Ava gives Doll the address and checks if she wants to crash at her place.

"So, 3pm tomorrow?"

In reply to Doll (msg # 48):

Sharpshooter muses "it's true that Viper has employed supervillains in the past, but they prefer ones they can control over hired mercenaries. That might explain the interest in the formulas."

In reply to Sharpshooter (msg # 51):

"Hell, I'm interested in his formulas.  Pygmalion is formula intensified my girlfriend's desires to intense amounts, maybe a cure can be engineered from his formulas to cure that..."

In reply to Majestic Ocean (msg # 50):

Nightshade replies, "So let me get this straight, Majestic. You want to meet up with us at 3 pm at your place?"

In reply to Nightshade (msg # 53):

"Maybe I should have clarified by saying today?  Even though it's 3am, I still consider it the same day, being I haven't slept yet.  But yeah, 12 hours from now..."

In reply to Majestic Ocean (msg # 54):

Recap who is going where.  Doll, Nightshade , and Ocean are meeting at 3
Flicker has a class to teach
SS will study clue (and find present for Archer)
Did I miss anything?

Actually, Sharp already has the present. He is meeting Archer at Noon and the promised place.
