  12. [2015-06-27 19:11:29] <GMpenguin> *Outside, the Harpoon soars over the glittering blue waters of the PACIFIC OCEAN, just barely obcured by THIN CLOUDS*
  13. [2015-06-27 19:13:41] <GMpenguin> "-as you can see, the footage recovered by the East Coast Independents is quite disturbing and indicative of an internal conflict brewing within the ranks of SHADOW"
  14. [2015-06-27 19:14:51] <Cold_Snap> 2"So we let them duke it out. Save civilians."
  15. [2015-06-27 19:15:17] <Lizard-Man> "Mop up who ever is left over."
  16. [2015-06-27 19:15:21] <Evan_Petrelli> "At the sorta scale they're goin' at, we ain't gonna be able to save who we can Cold Snap."
  17. [2015-06-27 19:15:34] <GMpenguin> "Even more concerning, however, is the information Shrike gave us"
  18. [2015-06-27 19:15:47] <Afro_Fist> "Mm..." Afro listens, frowning a bit.
  19. [2015-06-27 19:16:36] <GMpenguin> "That SHADOW has been working on what they call "Project Mikaboshi", some sort of telepathic weapon that the central command of SHADOW, the Shadowy Powers, have commissioned"
  20. [2015-06-27 19:17:06] <Evan_Petrelli> "Gotta been somethin' Blood Diamond made, or helped make."
  21. [2015-06-27 19:17:44] <Evan_Petrelli> "However high up in SHADOW he is."
  22. [2015-06-27 19:18:20] <GMpenguin> *The screen pops up with images of the missing Cerebella, the Think Tanks, and of Blood Diamond* "As our team has already encountered, SHADOW has been heavily investing into psionics research. The fact that multiple cells of SHADOW are working together on this project- in western North America, in west Africa, in Nepal- indicates a degree of coordination unseen since the 1980's"
  23. [2015-06-27 19:19:57] <GMpenguin> "According to Shrike, Mikaboshi is a telepathic weapon that uses Cerebella in some way to project telepathic power across the world. According to documents recovered by the East team, Mikaboshi's development was commissioned as a countermeasure to SHADOW's internal rebellion"
  24. [2015-06-27 19:21:14] <GMpenguin> "It seems unlikely, however, that the damage of a weapon with such a large area would be limited to just crushing the rebellion, however. And in any case, the O-Men would be very thankful if we were able to return Cerebella to them."
  25. [2015-06-27 19:21:31] <Cold_Snap> 2"Uh huh."
  26. [2015-06-27 19:21:46] <Evan_Petrelli> "Easier said than done..."
  27. [2015-06-27 19:21:54] <Afro_Fist> "We got any leads on where t'start?"
  28. [2015-06-27 19:23:22] <GMpenguin> "Shrike's encounter with Blood Diamond may have left Shrike more damaged than Blood Diamond,but he managed to pry out the destination that Trident was ferrying Blood Diamond to after he escaped the cannery in Independence"

  33. [2015-06-27 19:23:49] * Lizard-Man perks up a bit.
  34. [2015-06-27 19:25:24] <Afro_Fist> "Huh. Guess we takin' a trip."
  35. [2015-06-27 19:25:52] <GMpenguin> "I'd get comfortable. Its going to be a bit of a trip."
  36. [2015-06-27 19:25:54] <Cold_Snap> 2"How's this gonna work? We sort of didn't make too many friends last time we were in Japan."
  37. [2015-06-27 19:26:26] <Evan_Petrelli> "Like to know that too." Evan rubs his forehead with the palm of his hand.

  42. [2015-06-27 19:29:27] <GMpenguin> "One last thing. LIGHT sent a team down to the island to sweep it. They came back empty"
  43. [2015-06-27 19:29:51] <Cold_Snap> 2"Is that because they're compromised or incompetent?"
  44. [2015-06-27 19:30:14] <GMpenguin> "Or it could mean that the island is just a drop off point. Its your discretion if you want to doublecheck their findings"

  51. [2015-06-27 19:35:14] <Evan_Petrelli> "Ay, Japan," he mutters, taking his mind off the movie. "Think we oughta avoid the folk 'round any towns that we come across?"
  52. [2015-06-27 19:36:18] <Lizard-Man> "Uh... Well, we probably shouldn't tell them we're bringing you back..."
  53. [2015-06-27 19:36:53] <Evan_Petrelli> "So ya mean me and Cold Snap stay back while ya and Afro Fist meet with whoever ya find."
  54. [2015-06-27 19:37:26] <Lizard-Man> "Hm... At least while we're in Tokyo. I /might/ have a contact I can try while we're there."
  55. [2015-06-27 19:38:01] <Cold_Snap> "Oh come /on/ not him again."
  56. [2015-06-27 19:38:20] <Evan_Petrelli> "Like knowin' that Japanese Lizard-Man looks up to ya?"
  57. [2015-06-27 19:39:39] <Lizard-Man> "Yeah, I was going to try to find him. He might know something."
  58. [2015-06-27 19:39:43] <Afro_Fist> "Well, it ain't hurt t'check in with him, he'll be more in touch with what's been goin' on locally than we are."

  62. [2015-06-27 19:47:16] <Afro_Fist> "What d'you think, Snap? Best t'check th'island again ourselves, or have somethin' else in mind?"
  63. [2015-06-27 19:48:02] <Cold_Snap> 2"If Liz is going to go pal around with his fan club, you can just drop me off at the site. You're welcome to join me, Link."
  64. [2015-06-27 19:49:47] <Afro_Fist> "We're gonna want him when we check out th'island. Th'super sniffer might catch somethin' LIGHT missed."
  65. [2015-06-27 19:49:51] <Lizard-Man> "Snap, I know it's hard, but try not to be so jealous... Green looks way better on me after all."

  69. [2015-06-27 19:52:12] * Afro_Fist gives her a nudge. "C'mon, quit that."
  70. [2015-06-27 19:52:31] <Cold_Snap> 2"Mrpph."
  71. [2015-06-27 19:52:55] * Cold_Snap 2ignores Evan.
  72. [2015-06-27 19:53:24] <Lizard-Man> "I'm sorry. I would think asking one of the few locals who likes any of us, and who happens to have a connection with SOUND, about the location we're looking into seems like a wise idea to me."
  73. [2015-06-27 19:55:25] <Evan_Petrelli> "He got a point."
  74. [2015-06-27 19:55:29] <Afro_Fist> "Lets not be snide, brothas. It makes sense t'stick together one way or th'other. You right, Liz, askin' him's a good idea."
  75. [2015-06-27 19:55:45] <Afro_Fist> "But we could really use your nose an'Stoney's tremorsense t'help check th'island out too."
  76. [2015-06-27 19:56:03] <Afro_Fist> "How about we stop there on th'way in, then if we don't find anythin', we go meet up with Japan-Liz?"
  77. [2015-06-27 19:57:44] <Lizard-Man> "It's less 'to help us find something' and more 'make sure we aren't walking into a trap,' but sure."
  78. [2015-06-27 19:58:52] <Afro_Fist> "LIGHT already sent a team down t'check th'place out - if there was a trap, they'd be a lot easier t'spring it on than we would, yeah?"

  344. [2015-06-27 22:58:25] <Cold_Snap> 2"Nope! SHADOW is doing something global. We heard they had clones coming in here."
  345. [2015-06-27 22:58:31] <Afro_Fist> "Yea'. We're here lookin' for SHADOW. Rumor has it some of their crew flew down this way a week or two back."

  358. [2015-06-27 23:02:40] <GMpenguin> *Inspector Lion* "SHADOW activity around here has been connected to some kidnappings. We're expecting experimentation. Given some... history."
  359. [2015-06-27 23:03:25] <Cold_Snap> 2"Well. Supposedly, there's this big SHADOW civil war brewing."

  363. [2015-06-27 23:05:06] <Cold_Snap> 2"Well, we just found the corpse of an expert in psionics research."

  368. [2015-06-27 23:05:55] <Stonewall> "Or his trauma as a control thingy?"
  369. [2015-06-27 23:05:59] <Stonewall> "Ain't good at all."
  370. [2015-06-27 23:06:43] <Cold_Snap> 2"Also, we got ourselves a villain team-up team, but that's something else entirely."
  371. [2015-06-27 23:06:52] <Stonewall> "This is soundin' less like leavin' SHADOW and more like takin' it over from within."
  372. [2015-06-27 23:07:07] <GMpenguin> *Lion scratches his chin* "Mikaboshi... we got that name out of some of the clones we captured. Before they died"
  373. [2015-06-27 23:07:22] <GMpenguin> "Funniest thing though. They didn't die in the normal way. Not clone degeneration or cyanide capsules"

  380. [2015-06-27 23:09:11] <Cold_Snap> 2"Whyzzat? You could just set up a trigger in the brain, make it shut down whenever something happens."
  381. [2015-06-27 23:09:26] <Cold_Snap> 2"Maybe. I dunno. Seems reasonable."
  382. [2015-06-27 23:10:01] <Stonewall> "Hmm... well we're lookin' fer Blood Diamond. He could've come by 'ere lately. Heard anythin' 'bout 'im?"

  504. [2015-06-28 00:09:21] <GMpenguin> *AND PSIONICS*
  505. [2015-06-28 00:09:24] <GMpenguin> *AND LIKE LIFESCIENCES*
  506. [2015-06-28 00:09:51] <GMpenguin> *But based on the diagrams Mikaboshi appears to be a GIANT BRAIN. *
  507. [2015-06-28 00:10:38] <Cold_Snap> 2"So. Looks like it's a giant, presumably psionic brain."
  508. [2015-06-28 00:11:03] <Cold_Snap> 2"I unno. Liz, take a look at this, see what you can figure out. I'm no good with technical crap."
  509. [2015-06-28 00:11:45] <GMpenguin> *And she finds notes indicating that Mikaboshi had been moved DAYS AGO from its location here in London and had been moved to another SHADOW based in Egypt*
  510. [2015-06-28 00:12:35] * Lizard-Man looks.
  511. [2015-06-28 00:12:44] <Cold_Snap> 2"And it looks like Mikaboshi is in... Egypt, now?"
  512. [2015-06-28 00:12:52] <Cold_Snap> 2"Or at least that's where the trail leads."
  513. [2015-06-28 00:12:55] <Stonewall> "Another cell there?"
  514. [2015-06-28 00:14:45] |<-- Tectonic has left irc.sorcery.net (Quit: Connection closed for inactivity)
  515. [2015-06-28 00:17:24] <Lizard-Man> "Hm... Seems Mikaboshi's core was the brain of a stillborn Kaiju, that they grafted the brains of psionics to."
  516. [2015-06-28 00:17:50] <Cold_Snap> "Oh. Yay. No way this could go wrong."
  517. [2015-06-28 00:18:07] <Lizard-Man> "Well, bits of it to. Trying to make a single, powerful brain under SHADOW's control. The last piece is a vessel for the brain."
  518. [2015-06-28 00:18:22] <Cold_Snap> 2"How do they think they can control it?"
  519. [2015-06-28 00:18:23] <Lizard-Man> "That was being assembled in Egypt, naturally."
  520. [2015-06-28 00:18:49] <Cold_Snap> 2"Are they going to put it in some sort of robot body? A bio-engineered body? What?"
  521. [2015-06-28 00:19:08] <Lizard-Man> "Doesn't say."
  522. [2015-06-28 00:19:13] <Lizard-Man> "Could be either, or both."
  523. [2015-06-28 00:19:28] <Stonewall> "The hell's gonna be able to hold it?"
  524. [2015-06-28 00:20:13] <Cold_Snap> 2"So what? We head to Egypt now?"
  525. [2015-06-28 00:21:07] <Stonewall> "Our best shot."
  526. [2015-06-28 00:21:27] <Stonewall> "But if that's their last stop, I bet they got more than jus' a simple base there."
  527. [2015-06-28 00:23:25] <Stonewall> "Think we oughta check up on the rest o' the Independents first?"
  528. [2015-06-28 00:23:45] <Afro_Fist> "Sunny might not mind a trip t'Egypt, but time's kinda of th'essence."
  529. [2015-06-28 00:23:50] <GMpenguin> *Lion* "We can clean up here, if you lot need to head out"
  530. [2015-06-28 00:24:21] <Cold_Snap> 2"Yeah. I think we do."
  531. [2015-06-28 00:24:44] <Stonewall> "...Guess we gotta go then."
  532. [2015-06-28 00:25:21] <Lizard-Man> "Letting them know where we are sounds important, just in case."
  533. [2015-06-28 00:25:28] <GMpenguin> *Lion nods* "And hey. This sounds like a global crisis you've got going on. One dealing with SHADOW. And if you need help"
  534. [2015-06-28 00:25:34] <GMpenguin> *Flashes teeth* "I'm in"
  535. [2015-06-28 00:25:47] <GMpenguin> *Purple Unicorn* "Same. I can't just stay cooped up reading books when this is happening"
  536. [2015-06-28 00:28:27] <Stonewall> "We thank ya for that."
  537. [2015-06-28 00:28:34] <Stonewall> "Might need all the help we can get."
  538. [2015-06-28 00:29:06] * Stonewall smiles softly, before he has a permanent grimace for what's to come.
  539. [2015-06-28 00:29:09] <Cold_Snap> 2"Why do you spend so much time on Earth, anyways? Don't you have this huge bit of space to patrol?"
  540. [2015-06-28 00:29:58] <GMpenguin> "Just this system. Me and Bugs take care of our worlds and take turns with Mars"
  541. [2015-06-28 00:30:07] <GMpenguin> *She shivers* "Neither of us much like Mars"
  542. [2015-06-28 00:31:04] <GMpenguin> *LATER, in EGYPT*
  543. [2015-06-28 00:33:11] <GMpenguin> *Cervantes, landing* "Cold Snap, you should be aware that I got a communication from General Achmed Hassan asking that we keep you in the plane"
  544. [2015-06-28 00:33:36] <GMpenguin> "The Egyptian government is none too happy about having a famous mutant former criminal on its soil, given its stance on metahumans and mutants in specific"
  545. [2015-06-28 00:33:39] <Afro_Fist> "General who now? You piss someone in Egypt off, Snap?"
  546. [2015-06-28 00:33:41] <Afro_Fist> "Oh."
  547. [2015-06-28 00:33:56] * Stonewall grimaces
  548. [2015-06-28 00:34:21] <Cold_Snap> 2"Oh. Joy."
  549. [2015-06-28 00:34:37] <Cold_Snap> 2"So what do you think? Should I stay or should I go?"
  550. [2015-06-28 00:35:18] <GMpenguin> "They can't stop you from coming in without making a rift with LIGHT"
  551. [2015-06-28 00:35:43] <GMpenguin> "And I've offered some, er, enhanced diplomatic measures using monetary means to smooth things out"
  552. [2015-06-28 00:35:46] <Stonewall> "Well how much we wanna piss off this place while lookin' fer SHADOW?"
  553. [2015-06-28 00:35:56] <GMpenguin> "But I would recommend keeping a low profile here"
  554. [2015-06-28 00:36:21] <Cold_Snap> 2"So no insulting Egypt's resident hero-jerk, then?"
  555. [2015-06-28 00:36:58] <GMpenguin> "You're free to do that. The Egyptian government is none too fond of him either"
  556. [2015-06-28 00:37:20] <GMpenguin> "What with his remarks about them being military jackboot thugs"
  557. [2015-06-28 00:37:28] <GMpenguin> *Cervantes shrugs* "He's not wrong"
  558. [2015-06-28 00:37:31] <Lizard-Man> "Just try not to take any treasure."
  559. [2015-06-28 00:37:32] <Cold_Snap> 2"Sounds fun."
  560. [2015-06-28 00:37:37] <Lizard-Man> "It's probably cursed anyway."
  561. [2015-06-28 00:37:43] <Cold_Snap> 2"I haven't stolen anything in... three days!"
  562. [2015-06-28 00:39:16] <GMpenguin> *Cevantes smiles* "And I haven't masterminded any crimes in a week. But my son still nags me about it. Some people can't be pleased"
  563. [2015-06-28 00:41:37] * Stonewall heads out of the Harpoon. "Ya comin' or not Cold Snap?"
  564. [2015-06-28 00:42:18] <GMpenguin> *Cervantes* "If it helps, Cold Snap, the current high is 90F in Giza"
  565. [2015-06-28 00:43:36] <Cold_Snap> 2"...We've got a job to do. /I/ have a job to do."
  566. [2015-06-28 00:43:42] <Cold_Snap> 2"So yes, I'm coming."
  567. [2015-06-28 00:44:46] <GMpenguin> *And so the heroes go into Giza*
  568. [2015-06-28 00:45:03] <GMpenguin> *Where they hear chanting in Arabic! It sounds like protest chanting*
  569. [2015-06-28 00:45:55] <Stonewall> "Think that's somethin' worth checkin'?" he says quietly to the other Independents
  570. [2015-06-28 00:46:52] <Lizard-Man> "Can't hurt."
  571. [2015-06-28 00:46:53] <Cold_Snap> 2"Can any of you speak Arabic? If not, then no. Let's find jerkface, or someone else we can talk to."
  572. [2015-06-28 00:48:02] <Stonewall> "We got a place to start?"
  573. [2015-06-28 00:48:28] <GMpenguin> *they see a protest parade*
  574. [2015-06-28 00:48:32] <GMpenguin> *There's banners and signs*
  575. [2015-06-28 00:48:41] <GMpenguin> *And at the head, flying on golden wings, is the famous SUNLORD*
  576. [2015-06-28 00:48:47] <GMpenguin> *PROTECTOR OF EGYPT*
  577. [2015-06-28 00:49:03] <Cold_Snap> 2"Well. There he is. Wonder if he'll talk to us."
  578. [2015-06-28 00:49:10] <GMpenguin> *HERO OF THE PEOPLE*
  579. [2015-06-28 00:49:18] <GMpenguin> *He's chanting in Arabic too, leading the crowd!*
  580. [2015-06-28 00:49:23] <GMpenguin> *As Egyptian police watch warily*
  581. [2015-06-28 00:49:26] <Cold_Snap> 2<C> "Mr. Cervantes what's going on today?"
  582. [2015-06-28 00:52:14] <GMpenguin> <c> "According to the news, ongoing protests are happening across the nation after the deaths of two unregistered mutants during a confrontation with the military"
  583. [2015-06-28 00:53:20] * Afro_Fist frowns. "Nasty business, yea'."
  584. [2015-06-28 00:53:52] <GMpenguin> <c> "Government press release says that the two mutants were dangerous and refusing to surrender to registration, but..."
  585. [2015-06-28 00:54:25] <Cold_Snap> 2"So what's Sunlord doing?"
  586. [2015-06-28 00:55:23] <GMpenguin> *And as Cervantes explains, the heroes see two large pictures of a man with wings and a woman made of fire*
  587. [2015-06-28 00:56:15] <GMpenguin> <c> "He's leading the protests. He's always spoken out against the crackdown on metahumans by the Egyptian government and against the Egyptian government in general"
  588. [2015-06-28 00:57:51] <Cold_Snap> 2"All right, we're probably not going to be able to talk to him any time soon. Do we know where Mikaboshi was supposed to enter the country?"
  589. [2015-06-28 00:59:55] <Afro_Fist> "Mm. Well, he might be useful against SHADOW, yea'? Might not mind a brief interruption, I'm sure he don't want them messin' around here."
  590. [2015-06-28 01:01:08] <Cold_Snap> 2"You go talk to him then."
  591. [2015-06-28 01:01:23] <Cold_Snap> 2"I don't plan to make a scene at a mutant rally."
  592. [2015-06-28 01:01:33] <Afro_Fist> "A pro-mutant rally, ain't it? But yea', arright."
  593. [2015-06-28 01:03:00] * Afro_Fist takes off his coat and wipes his brow, and walks over towards parade. "Yo! Sunlord! Spare a minute for th'Independents? Got business!"
  594. [2015-06-28 01:03:20] <GMpenguin> *The crowd stops and Sunlord turns*
  595. [2015-06-28 01:04:31] <Afro_Fist> Afro clears his throat, slightly awkwardly as the entire crowd looks at him. "Uh. Yo."
  596. [2015-06-28 01:04:58] <GMpenguin> *The police watch as Sunlord holds up a hand*
  597. [2015-06-28 01:05:23] <GMpenguin> "Hello Independents!"
  598. [2015-06-28 01:05:35] <GMpenguin> *He turns to the crowd and says something in Arabic ending in* "INDEPENDENTS!"
  599. [2015-06-28 01:05:40] <GMpenguin> *The crowd cheers*
  600. [2015-06-28 01:06:28] * Cold_Snap 2tries to make herself scarce.
  601. [2015-06-28 01:06:55] * Stonewall stands at the back of his group, though lets Cold Snap stand behind him if needed
  602. [2015-06-28 01:07:20] <Afro_Fist> Afro lightly coughs, and approaches. He offers Sunlord a FISTBUMP in greeting.
  603. [2015-06-28 01:07:43] * Cold_Snap 2/really/ doesn't want to get involved with this, tries ducking into a building or something.
  604. [2015-06-28 01:07:51] <GMpenguin> *Sunlord bumps the fist*
  605. [2015-06-28 01:08:04] <GMpenguin> "The crowd is happy that the Independents have turned out for SOLIDARITY with the METAHUMAN CAUSE!"
  606. [2015-06-28 01:08:09] <Afro_Fist> *NEVER BEFORE IN THE HISTORY OF MANKIND HAS THERE BEEN SUCH AN EPIC FISTBUMP.*
  607. [2015-06-28 01:08:35] <Afro_Fist> "Hey. Sorry t'interrupt your uh, parade. But it's kinda important, we're here chasin' SHADOW."
  608. [2015-06-28 01:08:48] <Afro_Fist> *said somewhat hushed, so that the crowd at large doesn't hear*
  609. [2015-06-28 01:09:13] <Afro_Fist> "They've been workin' on some kinda psychic superweapon, an'we've got reason t'believe they're hidin' it in a base somewhere under th'Nile."
  610. [2015-06-28 01:09:13] * Stonewall lets Afro Fist speak first, so as to not belt anything out that may rile up a crowd
  611. [2015-06-28 01:09:36] <GMpenguin> *Sunhawk looks concerned and then calls back to the crowd in Arabic*
  612. [2015-06-28 01:09:50] <GMpenguin> *SUNLORD*
  613. [2015-06-28 01:09:58] <GMpenguin> *The crowd cheers and then continues marching without Sunlord*
  614. [2015-06-28 01:10:02] <GMpenguin> *Sunlord lands*
  615. [2015-06-28 01:10:06] <GMpenguin> "Go on, Afro Fist"
  616. [2015-06-28 01:12:01] <Afro_Fist> "You heard anythin' about them bein' active in your city of late? Rumors has it their differerent international cells've been workin' together again, after a long time bickerin' with each other. We came here from England, an'Japan before that, chasin' this down."
  617. [2015-06-28 01:13:20] <GMpenguin> "SHADOW shipped something big into the country a few days ago, word on the street is. I haven't had time to do much investigation with the current political situation, however"
  618. [2015-06-28 01:13:42] <Afro_Fist> **Rumor has it their different
  619. [2015-06-28 01:14:01] * Cold_Snap 2looks out, sees the crowd gone, and walks back to the group.
  620. [2015-06-28 01:15:12] <Afro_Fist> "Mm. Well, don't wanna tell you t'get distracted from all that, it's important stuff too. But this might be somethin' big, they makin' it with tech they stole from th'O-Men, probably some kinda mass psychic weapon."
  621. [2015-06-28 01:15:51] <Stonewall> "We think somethin's lyin' near Giza, underneath the Nile, if ya happen to be headin' there."
  622. [2015-06-28 01:15:53] <GMpenguin> "If its under the Nile, I could arrange for some people with boats to come out there and help you search. "
  623. [2015-06-28 01:16:04] <Afro_Fist> "We can take care of 'em, but it's your country, don't wanna be steppin' on yo turf. An'figured you might have already had some leads... yea'? That'd be sweet."
  624. [2015-06-28 01:16:09] <GMpenguin> "I am, as always, happy to help my fellow heroes"
  625. [2015-06-28 01:17:08] <Afro_Fist> "Arright, coo'. We gonna be headin' that way t'start searchin' ourselves, I suppose your guys won't have trouble findin' us. Just tell 'em t'look for th'walkin' stone house, can't miss him." *thumbs back at Stonewall*
  626. [2015-06-28 01:17:09] <GMpenguin> *He smiles* "And having a group of American heroes lead by a mutant destroying a SHADOW base under the Nile is sure to tweak the mangy dogs who run my country"
  627. [2015-06-28 01:17:44] <Afro_Fist> "Heh heh. Yea', fo'sure."
  628. [2015-06-28 01:18:11] <Afro_Fist> "Thanks, brotha." *OFFERS ANOTHER FISTBUMP*
  629. [2015-06-28 01:18:21] <GMpenguin> *Sunlord flaps his wings and bumps fist*
  630. [2015-06-28 01:18:40] <GMpenguin> "I must be off! Good luck, Independents!"
  631. [2015-06-28 01:18:43] <GMpenguin> *And flies away*
  632. [2015-06-28 01:19:56] * Afro_Fist turns back to the others. "See? Not so bad."
  633. [2015-06-28 01:20:02] <Afro_Fist> "Lets get t'searchin', yea'?"
  634. [2015-06-28 01:20:30] <GMpenguin> *And the heroes get to searching!*
  635. [2015-06-28 01:20:35] <GMpenguin> *With the aid of EGYPTIANS ON BOATS*
  636. [2015-06-28 01:24:36] * Stonewall does his best to search using tremorsense
  637. [2015-06-28 01:25:07] <Afro_Fist> *SEARCHING MONTAGE. ft. boats*
  638. [2015-06-28 01:25:18] <GMpenguin> *Stonewall finds a secret underground base hidden underneath the Nile river!*
  639. [2015-06-28 01:25:27] * Cold_Snap 2AIDS ANOTHER APPROPRIATELY.
  640. [2015-06-28 01:25:44] <Stonewall> "Found it!" He points to where he detects the base, careful not to shake the boat in doing so.
  641. [2015-06-28 01:25:50] <Stonewall> "We goin' in through there."
  642. [2015-06-28 01:26:21] <Cold_Snap> 2"'Kay."
  643. [2015-06-28 01:27:30] <GMpenguin> *And then the heroes break into the base?*
  644. [2015-06-28 01:28:07] * Stonewall does one of his better things and SMASHES into the base!
  645. [2015-06-28 01:28:48] <GMpenguin> *STONEWALL SMASHES THROUGH THE CEILING*
  646. [2015-06-28 01:29:00] <Cold_Snap> oh no falling
  647. [2015-06-28 01:29:03] <Cold_Snap> my nemesis
  648. [2015-06-28 01:29:43] <GMpenguin> *As the other heroes follow*
  649. [2015-06-28 01:29:55] <Cold_Snap> 2"Oh. Falling. Yay."
  650. [2015-06-28 01:30:09] * Stonewall grabs the nearest piece of metal to clog up the hole he made to prevent any sort of flooding
  651. [2015-06-28 01:31:11] * Cold_Snap 2sighs, and freezes up the hole so it doesn't flood. In the next hour or so.
  652. [2015-06-28 01:32:22] <GMpenguin> *And they break into the base!*
  653. [2015-06-28 01:32:31] =-= DPS|YerAWizardRanger is now known as DreadPirateSparkle

  655. [2015-06-28 01:32:42] <GMpenguin> *But the rest of the base seems entirely empty*
  656. [2015-06-28 01:32:56] <GMpenguin> *This base, as opposed to the others, have no labs*
  657. [2015-06-28 01:32:58] <GMpenguin> *No barracks*

  662. [2015-06-28 01:33:43] <GMpenguin> *And one central chamber splattered in blood, with books lying all around*
  663. [2015-06-28 01:33:48] <Stonewall> "This ain't like other SHADOW places..."
  664. [2015-06-28 01:34:07] <GMpenguin> *And at the center, etched into the floor, is a great serpent curled inward*

  668. [2015-06-28 01:35:46] <Afro_Fist> "Ehh..."
  669. [2015-06-28 01:35:58] <GMpenguin> *And in the corner of the chamber*
  670. [2015-06-28 01:36:07] <GMpenguin> *A giant dried out husk*
  671. [2015-06-28 01:36:10] <GMpenguin> *Of snakeskin*
  672. [2015-06-28 01:36:26] * Afro_Fist folds his arms. "Looks a lil familiar."
  673. [2015-06-28 01:36:35] <Lizard-Man> "...Think this has anything to do with Sunny's nemesis?"
  674. [2015-06-28 01:36:41] <Cold_Snap> 2"Meh. Well, I'll take a look around."
  675. [2015-06-28 01:37:05] <Stonewall> "All too familiar..."
  676. [2015-06-28 01:37:21] <Afro_Fist> "Th'whole place gives me th'heebie jeebies." *shudder.*
  677. [2015-06-28 01:38:41] <Afro_Fist> He approaches closer to the etching, and examines it. Then picks up one of the books. "I've seen some of this before, workin' with Uncle. It's... growin' magic, maybe? They were makin' a monster."
  678. [2015-06-28 01:39:03] <Cold_Snap> 2"Not english, not english, not english..."
  679. [2015-06-28 01:39:13] <Cold_Snap> 2"Hmm?"
  680. [2015-06-28 01:39:43] <Cold_Snap> 2"So they... grew a... /thing/ to put the Mikaboshi brain in?"
  681. [2015-06-28 01:39:57] <Cold_Snap> 2"How could they possibly believe that is a good plan."
  682. [2015-06-28 01:40:24] <Stonewall> "Don't buy it. How'd they control such a thin'?"
  683. [2015-06-28 01:40:44] <Stonewall> "Bet whatever they grew might've been part o' SHADOW in the first place."
  684. [2015-06-28 01:41:00] <Stonewall> "Could've 'grew' to have that... thing shoved into it."
  685. [2015-06-28 01:42:16] <Cold_Snap> 2"Welp. I'm not seeing any paperwork."
  686. [2015-06-28 01:42:30] <Cold_Snap> 2"I guess it's time to call LIGHT and head home."
  687. [2015-06-28 01:42:52] <Cold_Snap> 2"Then bunker down for the apocalypse."
  688. [2015-06-28 01:45:43] <Lizard-Man> "See if we can find where they took it to use it first."
  689. [2015-06-28 01:46:38] <Cold_Snap> 2"Fine, I'll take another look."
  690. [2015-06-28 01:46:48] <Afro_Fist> Afro looks through some of the other books, frowning.
  691. [2015-06-28 01:49:52] <Stonewall> "Got anythin' from those books?" Stonewall is rather lost in the darkness
  692. [2015-06-28 01:50:07] <Afro_Fist> "Some of this is magic text, some just diagrams an'such. An'... well."
  693. [2015-06-28 01:50:09] <Afro_Fist> "An'/this/."
  694. [2015-06-28 01:50:15] * Afro_Fist turns the book to show the satellite!
  695. [2015-06-28 01:50:48] <Cold_Snap> 2"Oh, hey. Satellite."
  696. [2015-06-28 01:51:04] <Stonewall> "Wait, that? The hell they..."
  697. [2015-06-28 01:51:11] <Stonewall> "..."
  698. [2015-06-28 01:51:13] <Cold_Snap> 2"Could broadcast psychic energy all over the earth. Joy."
  699. [2015-06-28 01:51:20] <Stonewall> "That's the vessel?"
  700. [2015-06-28 01:52:06] <Afro_Fist> "Well, they're usin' that for somethin'."
  701. [2015-06-28 01:52:16] <Afro_Fist> "Th'rest of this I can't make much of, we'd need a translator."
  702. [2015-06-28 01:52:28] <Cold_Snap> 2"Uncle?"
  703. [2015-06-28 01:53:04] <Afro_Fist> "Maybe, yea', he'd be a good start anyway."
  704. [2015-06-28 01:56:18] <GMpenguin> *Cut to Chen's Antiques*
  705. [2015-06-28 01:56:34] <GMpenguin> *In Independence City's Chinatown*

  708. [2015-06-28 01:56:50] <GMpenguin> "This is CHEN'S ANTIQUES"
  709. [2015-06-28 01:57:29] <GMpenguin> "Uncle not here right now! PRobably because nephew has dragged me along to MYSTICAL ADVENTURE that UNCLE IS TOO OLD FOR"
  710. [2015-06-28 01:57:58] * Stonewall tries leaving a message
  711. [2015-06-28 01:58:08] <GMpenguin> "Please LEAVE A MESSAGE at the TONE"
  712. [2015-06-28 01:58:34] <GMpenguin> "And Uncle will get back to you when Uncle understands INFERNAL RECORDING DEVICE"
  713. [2015-06-28 01:58:41] <GMpenguin> "And one mooooooooooooooooore thing"
  714. [2015-06-28 01:58:57] <GMpenguin> "IF YOU ARE A TELEMARKTER, UNCLE PUT MAGICAL CURSE ON YOU. VERY BAD CURSE. SEVEN YEAR BAD LUCK"
  715. [2015-06-28 01:58:59] <GMpenguin> *Beeeep*
  716. [2015-06-28 01:59:24] <Stonewall> "Ya, Uncle? Better respond when ya can."
  717. [2015-06-28 01:59:26] <Stonewall> "SHADOWs got hell comin' fer the world, and we're gonna need to know all we can to stop a full psychic takeover."
  718. [2015-06-28 01:59:54] <GMpenguin> *Cut to the Independents on the phone back the Hideout as Stonewall leaves the message*
  719. [2015-06-28 02:00:17] <GMpenguin> *Cervantes is sitting down, feet on another chair, exhausted after a carting the Indies around all day*
  720. [2015-06-28 02:01:15] <GMpenguin> *He's playing with his CERVANTES PHONE* "If the threat is as imminent as you say, then waiting for Uncle to come back to the city may not be an option"
  721. [2015-06-28 02:02:22] <GMpenguin> "What exactly do you need him to do, Stonewall?"
  722. [2015-06-28 02:03:14] <Stonewall> "We got these books over at a SHADOW base we need translated. Might give us somethin' that'll tell us exactly what they're doin', or how to beat 'em."
  723. [2015-06-28 02:03:48] <GMpenguin> "Well if you need books translated, then I think I know a person who knows a person who can help"
  724. [2015-06-28 02:03:57] <GMpenguin> "I just need to make some... arrangements*

  728. [2015-06-28 02:04:50] <GMpenguin> *The cell door opens*
  729. [2015-06-28 02:05:01] <GMpenguin> *A voice calls* "Katastrophe. Someone paid bail"
