Nicholas was speechless. He was glad he had tried the most common passwords first before trying something as complicated as invading the computer's system, but it was hard to believe the enemies were so stupid.
Nicholas tries to search the folders "New Folder", "games", "porn", "attention important" and "TOP SECRET PLAN", in that order, taking care to check for any booby-traps. It is based on the idea that the ones with obvious names are probably fake, pack an unpleasant surprise and may be a trigger for something.

Re: Roll to Be Heroic - Turn Forty-Six! In which I don't forget the title again

Turn forty-six, getting quite close to a round fifty!

At Times Square,
Agent Conners approached the last Silver Hammer as he reloaded his harpoon gun [4+1] and grabbed him, draining him into unconsciousness.
Agent Maxwell turned visible again and let off enough light to stop glowing.  Looking around, she saw the SWAT team had evacuated the area and the EMTs were rushing in.  With the area clear, she searched the bodies quickly: no identification, like the ones in Central Park.  A partially opened manhole nearby was where they'd likely come from.

Current Status: Clear
Aerosol Flamethrower Thug: [deceased]
Harpoon Gun Goon: [subdued]
Sai Criminal: [subdued]
Knuckles and Shoes Gangster: [deceased]


At the UN Headquarters,
Agent Green kicked open the door and caught a glimpse of the thug as he turned down the hallway.  Desmond ran after him, shield up, followed closely by the Electrician, and heard screams just ahead.
Rounding the corner they saw the man smirking silently at them, holding a woman in front of him with a firecracker in her ear.  Behind him, SWAT officers moved silently into position, but Desmond could see if they fired the woman would likely be hit.

Current Status: Chasing
Spiked Chain Ganger: [subdued]
Scythe Wielder: [deceased]
Claymore User: [subdued]
Firework Worker: [healthy]


At Central Park,
Agent Reon returned to the computer room and looked over Nicholas' shoulder to see he'd broken the security.  Satisfied, she walked up to a wall and began speaking to it (+1 to next speech roll).
Agent Fortmüller paused to reflect on the stupidity of people who set their password as "password", and decided to avoid the obvious trap.  He opened "New Folder" first - empty.  He tried "games" and resisted the urge to play Minesweeper.  Next was "porn", which was full of porn.  As he browsed through it, Nicholas noticed a single text file, which he opened.
"JIMMY and his guys - set a big fire in central park.  Fade back when its big enough
DYLAN and friends - smashing windows at ESB
JONNY and pals - scare people at times before retreating
MARK and your people - stick up the federal reserve
MIKE and the band - threaten VIP's at UN
Ill do the thing by myself when the cops are distracted."

Jenny took the harpoon gun. "Well, Vampiress? Ready for some spelunking?" she asked, randomly giving Lisa a codename on the spot.

Nicholas is not surprised. This is a base of goons, but just maybe...His thoughts are still slightly disturbed by the fact that Ires hides her secret files in her porn folder. He prefers full-HD encryption instead.

He reports the situation, tries to check for the file's date of creation, checks for an internet connection of any kind and finally scours the computer for further folders aside from the ones already found.

Bad situation. Desmond could think of a use of his power here-but, he hadn't tested it as much as he would have liked. Still, he had been able to draw a few bags of flour easily enough on the testing range, from a short range, without them breaking. The guy wasn't holding her very tightly-and she wasn't struggling. He was sure he could pluck her out of their without hurting her. He would have to be very careful...

Of course, he didn't want to resort to that. Desmond first addressed the man calmly, while stepping to one side. He needed to draw the Hammers attention.

"Listen, just let the girl go-and we can talk about this. Nobody has to get hurt here." While Desmond doubted his appeal to the mans sense of decency would work, he did hope The Electrician got the idea... a moment of distraction was all he needed to give him...Desmond knew the Electrician was faster then him. Hopefully fast enough.

Amazingly, Desmond wasn't feeling nervous, or excited. Just cold, calm...almost serene.

Action: Try to talk the man down. Distract the crazy from The Electrician, who will hopefully get the idea and launch a take down.

If it looks like he's about to detonate the explosive and there's no other choice, use my kinetic powers to pull the woman out of his grip and into my arms, where I can shield her from the blast.

Lisa looked at Jenny for a moment, raising an eyebrow as if to say, you too?

"I'm ready if your up to providing a little light, if you can do that. Just watch out for tripwires and such."

Do a quick check on people who have been hurt and then open that manhole and let Flash Light take the lead.

((Hah, it was in the porn file!  :D))
"Nicholas is not surprised. This is a base of goons, but just maybe...His thoughts are still slightly disturbed by the fact that Ires hides her secret files in her porn folder. He prefers full-HD encryption instead."
 :P
Ires turned back to Nicholas after finishing her verbose speech with her rocky friend.

"Got any news?" Her eyes widened at the amount of folders of porn, before focusing on the plans laid out by those scum that they met earlier. "O-oh. Look at that. Master plans. With...names. Why was it in third-person though?"

She then checks the surface above while leaving 'Nick' to his work.

Re: Roll to Be Heroic - Turn Forty-Seven! In which Jenny and Lisa go spelunking
« Reply #473 on: May 05, 2012, 09:41:21 pm »
Turn forty-seven!  Zako's avatar is mesmerizing and I almost didn't finish this turn because of that.

At Times Square,
Agent Maxwell grabbed the loaded harpoon gun and a bundle of extra harpoons before turning to Lisa.
"Well, Vampiress? Ready for some spelunking?"
Agent Conners raised an eyebrow at Jenny's spontaneous codename.
"I'm ready if you're up to providing a little light, if you can do that.  Just watch out for tripwires and such."
She took a moment to look around the Square.  Aside from the Silver Hammers themselves nobody seemed to have taken any serious injuries.  She kicked open the manhole cover and let Jenny go in first.
Jenny lit the way as the two heroines headed down into the stinking darkness.  There was just enough room in the tunnel for them to stand upright, and as long as they kept to the walkways they wouldn't need to get wet.  Besides the rushing water and a few rats fleeing the light there was no movement or sound, but the old rumours of feral alligators kept them on edge.
The heroines headed straight down the main tunnel for nearly two minutes before finding the gang's hideout.  A few personal items and clothes were piled up against the wall, and on a small collapsible table lay a feebly flickering flashlight and some cans of food and water.  A little bit away from this was a laptop hooked up to a generator.

Current Status: In the sewers
Aerosol Flamethrower Thug: [deceased]
Harpoon Gun Goon: [subdued]
Sai Criminal: [subdued]
Knuckles and Shoes Gangster: [deceased]

At Central Park,
Agent Fortmüller reflected on Ires' porn habits as he continued searching the computer.  The file had been created two weeks ago and had last been modified yesterday.  There was no internet connection on the old computer, and no other folders besides the ones he'd already found.
"This is Fire Fighter at Central Park.  We found a computer underneath the park with a file on it detailing the Hammers' plans - besides the four locations we got there was a planned appearance at the Federal Reserve, and a line referring vaguely to a separate 'thing' to be done simultaneously."
Agent Reon headed back up to the surface again, looking for anything that had changed.  The police were stopping the returning crowds from getting close, and some paramedics were checking over a few people for injuries.  A few blocks to the south, a cloud of smoke was beginning to rise from the Empire State Building.

Current Status: Inside a hidden tunnel

At the UN Headquarters,
Agent Green moved slightly, getting the thug's attention, and tried talking him down.
"Listen, just let the girl go - and we can talk about this.  Nobody has to get hurt here."
[3] The man hesitated, and looked down for a second.  It was just enough time for the Electrician beside him to leap forward, knock the firecracker out of his hand, and cover the woman as the SWAT team opened fire.

Ires turned towards the outer surroundings after relaying what she saw to Nick and the others. "We have Central Park, Times Square and the UN HQ down and secure. From the list:

'JIMMY and his guys - set a big fire in central park.  Fade back when its big enough
DYLAN and friends - smashing windows at ESB
JONNY and pals - scare people at times before retreating
MARK and your people - stick up the federal reserve
MIKE and the band - threaten VIP's at UN
Ill do the thing by myself when the cops are distracted.'

What we don't have is the federal reserve. The Empire State building has probably caught fire, not smashed windows and then the "Thing". Any ideas?"

Nicholas got out of the tunnel, still thinking about the "thing" to be done while the policemen were distracted. What would it be? An attack on an important person?
"Can we get information about the situation of major figures of the town, such as the mayor and the deputy? The text file said something about acting in a different front while the police was distracted. Also, we should check the federal reserve; I am heading there now."
Nicholas checks his Background Energy Collection module to see if he can tinker with it and make it prioritize heat absorption - making it easier for him to exhaust the heat from his body - while running as fast as he can towards the federal reserve in his suit. Carrying Ires under his arm if needed.

Go along, willingly.

Then upon arrival, move to a desirable location that can view most of the important parts of the reserve, basically, anywhere that those thugs can break in. Like the entrance.

"Ahhh... This is promising. You call it in and watch my back, I'll see if I can pop this sucker open."

Open the laptop and hack into it, searching for information. Before I do any searches, use my PDA to scan for virus boobytraps and hostile agents that might destroy data.
