- rolled 40 using 1d10+33.  Initiative.

As Archer seemed incapable of finding any way to shut this mech down ... and the imminent plan seemed to be to teleport it out to sea, Archer began moving to evac the metal beast.

Re: Times Square, New York City

The technician at the self-destruct console continues to work, and begins to cry. The mech lists further, the floor now appears to be about 20° from horizontal.

Re: Times Square, New York City

"Gaaaaah!" shouts Empress as she opens an enormous Teleport doorway.

A shimmering yellow gateway appears near the robot, and then she moves the doorway over the robot, sending it far away, out to the ocean.

"Phew!" she says, leaning to one side with the strain.
 She's nearly exhausted.

"I'm running out of juice, heroes!", she says, hoping another hero might hear.  (And not considering possible foes.)

But she gathers herself up, realizing her work may not be done just yet.
INIT 16
Teleport the big bot.

Re: Times Square, New York City

Empress creates a portal thirty-five feet across, just below the mech. As its flight is no longer controlled, it begins to fall through the portal. The portals inside the mech wink out
mechanics:
The turn in which the portals created had ended.

Re: Times Square, New York City

Agent 9 drops one hand onto the tech’s shoulder as she cries. “ Are you ready? I think we need to get out of here” as he speaks he will make sure the hatch to outside is still open and if it’s swinging he will try to figure it’s timing for a quick exit.

Re: Times Square, New York City

Empress holds the portal open, keeping an eye on whether all the occupants escape or not.

Empress, sees Archer leave the bot,"One down, two more.  C'mon, c'mon..."
INIT 1 <-- Empress definitely goes last here, hoping that's good.

Plan is to have robot drop through and then close portal, hoping it happens this round (since no more pilots & no one operating flying controls).

Re: Times Square, New York City

Agent 9 and Archer manage to leap from the mech before it drops through the teleportal. Between Saber 7's speed and The Zenith's force fields, the heroes and their captors reach the ground without incident. The huge mech is gone, and the first responders are being congratulatory.

Re: Times Square, New York City

Levitating up in the air, Empress looks for the superheroes and mech operators.

Depending on who she sees, she'll port over to them (if necessary) and see if they cleared all the operators from the robot?

The job isn't done... until the job is done.

Re: Times Square, New York City

Empress teleport doors over to the others to join the convo.

"Hello heroes, I'm Empress.  Does anyone know if we got all the robot operators out?
I'm uncertain everyone was clear.

Rock Star?  Great name.  Didn't see them. Do they have a radio?  Or shall I teleport us over to the mech (likely underwater or possibly exploded) for a look see?"

She waits for someone to speak up.
Waits.
Gets bored of waiting.

"Hm.  I suppose I should also mention that I interrogated a pilot and know who was behind this attack.  I'll share the information freely -- once we are done saving lives."
Checked with GM, we're out of combat so not waiting on new INIT rolls.

So I posted Empress' prisoner info into OOC chat, gives a lot of background.

Team could go on offense now, but might be worth some in-character chatter and team building before we go after super prepared enemies...

Re: Times Square, New York City

Empress flies up to Agent 9.  "You were in the robot with me.  Do you know these heroes?  Care to introduce yourself -- and them too?

Empress continues, "I may not look it, but I'm a lot older than I look.  In the past, people used to introduce themselves -- and paid special attention to be polite to women.  I know times have changed a bit, but still.."

Hovering, she waits for Agent 9 to respond

Re: Times Square, New York City

Empress floats impressively, slowly becoming distracted by things.

"Well, I guess the excitement of a battle has passed and now it's calm, but I just mentioned a way for us to catch that baddie.

Does anyone want to take action?  I'm ready -- although I could use a small rest and a bite to recharge-- that was the biggest thing I've teleported in years!"

Agent 9 focuses finally on the woman hovering near him “ What way was that? And no I don’t really know these people. I only showed up yesterday to start an eval. “

"Oh.  An eval?  What did you discover?"

She floats closer to Agent 9 and reaches out her hand to shake.

"Empress.  You may have heard of me?  And you are?"

She flashes him a world famous smile.  People have fainted from her smile alone.

"I was hoping those other supers might show up.  Not sure we can take on this villain just you and me -- no offense."

“Agent 9, that’s all” he shakes her hand gentle. “ I’m afraid the rest is classified for now as far as the eval is concerned. We need to debrief our um….captives before much else and see what this all amounts to. “

Re: Times Square, New York City

"Ah yes, I've debriefed one the captives.
Let me summarize it for you ...again.
Hmmmph."

quote:
Empress wakes one of the technicians, and begins questioning him.The crew has never actually met or worked directly with Doctor Apocalypse (the fellow that appeared on television and threatened to unleash further destruction if he wasn't paid).
They were recruited and trained by The Destroyers, Apocalypse's private group of super-villains. The Destroyers were very careful not to reveal much information about themselves. The only member they ever dealt with directly was a female who called herself The Iron Maiden. She constantly wore a sophisticated suit of powered armor from which she got her name. She was the one who worked with
them and trained them to operate the Doomsday Robot. The rest of The Destroyers are made up of four men and one other woman.
The location of The Destroyers' headquarters, is where where some of the individual crew members received technical training. That headquarters is made up of the top three floors of the Montuori Trade and Industries Building. It can be reached from the rooftop or via a private elevator
in the lobby. The elevator requires a special magnetic card to operate. The crew member would be happy to let her use his (the name on the card is Shanley.


Empress looks extremely bored now.

"Don't you think that covers it, Agent 9?  If you want to get more info, I'm sure they'll talk to you -- if I encourage them.  Some people find me incredibly persuasive."

Re: Times Square, New York City

Empress calls out to the captives to come and speak to Agent 9.

"Darlings, come and speak to my friend here.  Tell him what you know, like you told me?  Or whatever he would like to know about?
That would make me so happy?"

If the operators are still around, they should still be eager to help Empress.

then turns and says, "Are you coming, Agent 9?"

And she turns back and flies through the portal.

“ We should definitely look into these Destroyers a bit before we go crashing in on their HQ. “ Agent 9 says as he straightens his hair and tie in a police cruiser side mirror. “ which one of you is in charge of the scene here Officer?
