Turn 56
I practice mental connections.Specifically the flash command type.
(6) You decide to practice issuing commands to several people in quick succession, and after practicing a bit on the SWAT commander you think you have discovered a good way to do so.
I use my powers to set off the missiles on the copters, perhaps pushing the copters about to aim the missles at each other.
(1+1=2) You try to activate the missiles being carried by the helicopters, but since you really have no knowledge of their construction you are unable to do so. Your attempts to push the helicopters around are also in vain, they seem to be too far away for you to be able to affect them very much.
I get behind a boxfort and focus my magical energy while keeping my rifle trained on the hole.
(4) You take cover behind a boxfort and aim your rifle at the doors while you recharge your magical energy, and after a few minutes you think you have replenished your supply enough to be ready for combat.
I pretend I am a super-hero, and that I was being mind-controlled by the evil Mr. Roosts. I also try and convince them that we have to go back to the warehouse so I can help them fight the enemy.
(5) "Guys... aaaagh... help me... I was being mind-controlled..." you say weakly, and rather convincingly,
(2) but they simply ignore you, probably having heard all kinds of excuses before. You did learn a little about speaking in a convincing manner though.
I just try to wake up.
(6-2=4) You manage to push through the dark haze clouding your mind and wake up, you open your eyes to see the inside of a helicopter, and five people standing around you.
(1) But you soon fall back into the deep sleep.
I tell them: "Ah, well. It's a long story. See, my name is Triolf. I won't lie to you and claim I am innocent or whatever. I am a thief, and "this" *points to the warehouse*, was my hide-out. That, until these people barged in, enslaved me, and forced me to do all kinds of stuff. HORRIBLE stuff. You don't want to ask. Your raid was enough of a diversion for me to escape, since they were busy fighting you off. Now, do whatever you want with me. It will be better than THERE."
(3) They listen to your story, but they don't seem terribly convinced,
(5) they just put some handcuffs on you and put you in the back of a helicopter, saying that they will make sure to find out the truth later.
"Oh, good. Thank goodness you guys are here. This group was responsible for an attack on a police station not too long ago that we responded to. I'm one of the only ones left of my unit. My commander was wounded by them and taken prisoner. And they may have others.
I've managed to follow them back here but wasn't sure what I was going to do. Mind if I join you? Perhaps I can help identify any of them that were in on the police station attack."
(6) You really manage to convince him it seems, and he takes you to see his squad commander. You repeat your story to him, and try to get his permission to come with them.
(6) He says that he will let you come along, but you must leave your weapons behind, he doesn't want you to shoot anyone dead.
Enemy Actions:...
(3) They reach the outskirts of Manhattan, and soon they can no longer be seen from the HQ.
Send in reinforcements.
(5) Six more helicopters land, and another two groups of SHIELD operatives disembark.
Breach HQ.
(4) They head to one of the doors and assemble in front of it, they then break it down and head inside,
(2) a few of them seem to get sick.
Wait for Blarney
(Autosuccess) They wait for 'Officer' Blarney to make his decision.
Breach HQ
(6) They also assemble in front of one of the doors, but instead of simply kicking it down they use a small C4 charge to blow it off its hinges,
(5) making sure not to hurt anyone else. They then rush inside,
(2) and a few of them seem to get sick as well.
Secure perimeter
(2) They start patrolling around the HQ, but fail to notice anything of significance.
Allied Actions:Shoot the enemys!
(2) She can't get a good shot at them without exposing herself to counter-attack.

(6+2=6) He starts singing O Fortuna, because that song makes any battle totally awesome!
Hide
(3) He hides in one of the piles of weapons.
