Turn 144
Wonder how that Captain-General still has a job, considering his not sending anyone to brief me. Practice using my fire abilities to propel and increase the power of my punches, theoretically giving me super-strength when hitting things.
(4) Having tired of just waiting there you decide to use your time to do something meaningful, such as creating a new and more efficient way of hurting people. Finding the idea of a rocket-propelled punch insanely awesome you decide to work on that. It takes a bit of work, but after a little while you figure out how to accomplish that, by simply launching a concentrated jet of fire backwards at the elbow and timing it correctly you can punch much harder, the only real limit being the strength of your own bones.
Finally someone comes to brief you, and you briefly consider yelling at him for taking so long, but ultimately decide that doing so would just waste even more time. He is quite brief, telling you that your mission will simply be to aid the SHIELD forces in combating the superhuman terrorists led by Magneto, and pointing out where you are to go first. Apparently there is some trouble regarding a giant robot here in New York that they need your help with.
Find an exit near the ocean, look for a beached whale.
(6) Trudging through sewage is beginning to get rather old, and you decide that if you were to find an exit near the ocean you could both get out of the waist-high sludge and perhaps find something to use for your experiments. So you start walking, overjoyed and quite surprised to find daylight after just a few minutes of further trudging through raw sewage. You run towards it, heedless of any possible danger that might be afoot. Suddenly you are falling, though you don't fall far, landing in a large pool of very disgusting liquid, you've found a sewage treatment plant. After crawling out of said pool of very disgusting liquid you find that at least you've found the ocean, though there seems to be a shortage of beached whales nearby.
Right, lets try that again. and this time knock them out if I can't pickpocket the key
(1) You try to sneak up to the man again, trying to steal the keys off of him. But you simply aren't sneaky enough, and he discovers your attempt. And this time your lies will probably not get you out of trouble.
(4) Luckily for you he decides to shoot at you instead of calling for backup. It might not seem very lucky, but being the target of one gunman is better than being the target of a dozen or so, simple math really. Still, that isn't much comfort when you are staring down the barrel of a loaded gun.
Go through those civilian forms I picked up a while back. About time I see what I've got to work with.
(5) You start shifting your form, going through the forms you picked up earlier to see what they are. As it turns out most of them are just regular people, boring pedestrians, but one seems different somehow, not in the way it looks, but in the way it feels. You think that the person you copied possessed some sort of special ability, but you haven't yet figured out what. It is quite hard to remember someone you barely paid attention to enough to call forth their power, which you didn't know they had.
At a cautious speed, move towards and into the base.
(6) You move at cautious speed in the direction of the base, for about fifty feet, then you feel that it takes too long and take off at full speed.
(4) Luckily you don't break the sound barrier, and for once you manage to not trip on some unfortunately placed pebble or loose cobblestone or something like that. Arriving at the base takes only a few seconds, and you are almost disappointed that you didn't have to deal with anything on the way there, you feel bored. After briefly thinking about running a few more laps around the town you settle on going inside instead,
(6+1+1=8) and immediately excitement finds you again, in the form of a bulldozer. If you were anyone else you would've been flattened, but being you getting out of the way isn't very hard, but now you find your damnable nemesis again; A pebble on the floor.
(2+1+1=4) With the help of your extreme speed you manage to balance yourself before you go flying into the nearest wall, which is very fortunate because at the speed you were moving you would likely have leveled the entire building.
isn't there one undamaged uniform on on of the dead guards? if so put it on, take ID no matter what. continue learning the tank controls, refer to the manual located in the storage locker
(4)There is one uniform that is mostly undamaged, aside from a few bits of the previous owner sticking to it. You can barely see them anyways, unless you look at it from a very specific angle, so it's good enough. Having found a new getup you go looking for the handbook you know is supposed to be there, in case the crew forgets how to drive the tank or something, and it seems only logical that it be located in the storage compartment.
(4) And there it is, lying in plain view, so you take it. As it turns out it is a bit more complicated than you thought though, while the text is easily understandable it will probably take some practice to actually learn what it says well enough to drive the tank.
*Have Rebecca attend to Mr. Roosts while I drive us back. Use an alternate route in (that is less likely to have a road-block on INBOUND traffic) to the city.*
(6) You tell Rebecca to check on Roosts and help him if possible, and then focus on getting back into the city. But you don't really feel like taking a detour, or spending half an hour trying to find a way that isn't being watched, so you decide to take the same route in you used to get out. As soon as the roadblock gets within view you step on the gas, quickly reaching the Humvee's top speed.
(5) The soldiers at the blockade scramble to get out of the way of the several tons of speeding car, and it easily smashes through the barricade erected to stop cars from doing that, probably rather shoddy workmanship. So now you're back in the city, but in hindsight it was rather stupid to smash through the roadblock like that. Oh well, you can't change the past, and hopefully the military will have something larger to focus on than you.
Let's try flying again.
(5+1=6) Seeing Cheetahr rush away at great speed, leaving behind a trail of blueberry jelly, you decide to find something else to do, something not related to jelly. Flying might be a good idea, swooshing around like some kind of superman. True, you could just use your magic to teleport, as you've done earlier, but flying is much cooler, only losers teleport or run. With a few simple spells you weave the magical energies around you into a forcefield covering you, and then direct force downward to form a magical one-man rocket, which in hindsight is probably the most awesome thing in the history of ever. The ground disappears fast as you fly skyward, you can see everything for miles around, and you just generally feel rather awesome right now. After flying around for a few minutes you decide to head back to the ground, which is when you realize that you never worked out a way to land.
(5) But you laugh in the face of adversity, and then stomp it into submission, and then sink it into a river. With a simple redirection of force you dampen your velocity enough to land with an awesome flip, impressing everyone nearby.
I move down the river west around the island of manhattan
(1+1+1=3) You start moving your little submarine, decidedly not a yellow one, down the river to get around the pesky island standing between you and your goal. The military seem to have quite a presence in the sea though, patrol boats passing by every minute or so, meaning that you have to move carefully to avoid detection. You have gotten about halfway to the western shore of the river.
(GM) Alert the Colossus to the location of the production facility
(3) Deciding that some backup could be useful in the taking of the production facility you head out in search of your huge robot companion, only to find nothing. That thing is seriously stealthy for such a large thing, you bet that it could sneak up behind someone without them noticing.
Enemy Actions (Heroes/Hostiles)Shoot that fraudulent fraud!
(5+1=6) He starts shooting at Luke with a submachine gun, unleashing a train of hot lead, destination: Brainsville.
(1+1=2) But he misses quite clearly, getting closer to hitting the main control console than hitting his intended target.
Allied/Neutral Actions (Villains/Civilians)Tend to Roosts
(3) She is quite stumped as to what she can do about a spontaneous blackout, so she just makes sure he doesn't swallow his own tongue or something like that.
Sneaky Sneaky
It's most likely doing something.
Wake up
(2) He doesn't want to.
Clean
(1) They nearly flatten their leader, and after getting yelled at for a few minutes they decide to just wait and see what he wants them to do.
Money, money, money...
(6) They still haven't quite figured out the concept of subtlety, they'll need some more practice, or a dictionary. Another store is smashed up, and another shopkeeper told that he'd better start paying Cheetahr or it'll happen again.
