STAGE 2 - INFILTRATION

[astonishing_xmods]

"Cue the Mission Impossible theme. We know where Shaw's Inner Court hides, but getting to them isn't going to be easy. Security is extremely tight. Traps abound. Possibly killer robots. It's almost as if Shaw expects powered heroes to try and invade his privacy...

Once again, players will be free to control the action here. The main goal is obviously to navigate the facility, avoid making too much ruckus, and make a clear path for the confrontation team that Nightcrawler will teleport in."

[icy_heavens]

Toushirou reporting in! His powers of cryokinesis aren't the most useful for this kind of stuff, but he's smart, level-headed and last time around was the leader of the student covert-ops team. He's been trained in infiltration.

[mouflon]

Tousaka, checking in. Rin has both mundane and mutant abilities in hacking, so she can be of use in dealing with electronic locks, security systems, etc. She's also good for running interference and providing distractions, so if you want her to blow up something on the opposite end of the building instead, well...

[realmenknitplushies]

Checking in! Kanji specialises in zapping things, hitting things, and hitting things to zap them. In other words, an inexperienced electrokinetic whose skills will be helpful enough when it comes to the likes of shorting out electronics, but he'll need to be told what to do. His combat skills are decent for a street fighter, and he's had some training sessions with his team.

Please note: I'm in the UK, so timezones may prove awkward; I'd appreciate a chance at a smaller thread somewhere at some point as to not get lost in the flow of things if it goes fast.

[presto_turn]

Checking in for Shindou!

His mutation - creating mental networks between himself and others - isn't exactly stealth-oriented but would be able to provide ease of communication if the group needs to split up. He's also able to physically power-up those linked to him if the team gets into a tight spot and needs to fight/book it out of there (though using that side of his powers on all eight other folks on the team would be pushing his limits.)

On the non-mutant side, he's had a passable amount of combat training by now (though he isn't much of a fighter without the strength boost his power affords running), and he, Rinka, and Kanji have all been training for super-team shenanigans together for about a couple of months now.

[littlewhitelies]

M’gann aka Miss M (she could never decide if the ‘M’ stood for ‘Mind’ or ‘Mutant’ or ‘Marvelous’ etc, so she ended up just going with ‘M’ for a catch-all) reporting in!

Ability wise, M’gann is a reasonably skilled psychic. There’s the limitation that she won’t be able to read any robot or AI minds, on the basis that they aren’t organic. On the other hand she CAN make a team psychic link though for some members if they’re in close quarters. (And possibly causing various hijinks for those who DON’T want any of this telepathic junk?) Plus general feats involving telekinesis and lifting people/people-sized-robots/chunks of furniture and tossing them around. She’s also done a few covert ops missions in her time with the Young Justice Team as well and has a little bit of stealth know-how.*

Personal threading goals would be to encounter at least one fire based trap or robot enemy, in order to highlight that M’gann and fire don’t mix. Also, general punching of robots and cool stunts involving traps and powers.

*Okay, so those ‘covert’ missions usually ended up with an incredible amount of explosions and property damage. It’s the thought that counts?

[psykick]

Rinka checking in!

She's a phaser, so she'll be useful for getting through locked doors (either by phasing through and opening it from the other side or phasing each teammate through with her). She's also trained in aikido and kali (eskrima) and is a member of Shindou's training team.

[nobodysweapon]

Broody Girl Wolverine X-23 Checking In.

Laura has skills, of the mad variety. All her powers and training apply to this, and she has a habit of breaking into places as a practical straightforward response to problems.

As a tiny Wolverine clone she is most likely going to do something unsafe and violent at least once during the mission.

Re: STAGE 2 - INFILTRATION

[aquawayfinder]

Master Aqua, here to serve.

Aqua wants to be hit with useful powers before we go out, if anyone is willing, since she can store and use other mutant's powers. She wields the Keyblade, and is trained to fight.

[tatatarata]

Another hacker-type here -- Takane is a technopath whose ability actually lets her project herself into technology to manipulate it

(someone would have to watch her unconscious body while she did so, though)
