UE Issue #1: Introductions

[VonAlric]

Dos Seso

"I don't mind random. Should we vote for a leader, yes. Was I going to put my name forth for leader at this time? No."

[gurusql]

Just for obvious reasons as an NPC I do not want to have Wind Dragon be the leader, but he is supportive of your process.

Eclipse

"So we agree to have a leader, and we discussed the means of adding and removing them yesterday. Currently Azir and myself are interested in the position" he places some white dice with black pips on the table "I found these in a box of Yahtzee in one of the closets. Let's roll to see which of us goes first"

Initiative: [_3d6]=(4+6+1)=11

[Rex]

Azir

[_3d6]=(2+6+5)=13

[gurusql]

Wind Dragon

"So the first leader is Eclipse!" Wind Dragon says with an excited expression!

[shaidar]

Eclipse grins

"Yahtzee! I'm as much the groups spokesperson as anything. I'm new to this, so be forthcoming with any advice and let me know if I'm screwing up. I'd better let agent McGinley know. Is there anything in particular about this evenings encounter that anyone thinks we need to talk about?"

[gurusql]

Wind Dragon

Wind Dragon brings up two items of note

• In case it was unclear to anyone, the supers were talking in Chinese and I speak Chinese fluently
• Given that I was born in China and that I am hunted by Viper - I can state with 100% clarity, I do not believe that those supers are part of Viper and they are in fact "heroes" that work for a super team sponsored by the Chinese government - know as the Tiger Squad.

[shaidar]

Eclipse

"The Chinese, eh? I didn't think I recognised a tiger as a VIPER symbol. Seems like we're going international. I'm planning on writing a computer database where we can put all the information we learn about the supers we meet, help us keep the information to hand and find any connections...yeah, I'm a computer geek. "

[Rex]

Azir

"Very interesting, it seems that that is a very dangerous game for the Chinese to be playing since it could easily be considered an act of war and governments tend to avoid those sort of things."

[shaidar]

Eclipse

"Bold indeed. They either think they have a solid case for plausible deniability, or just don't care. The idea of another war with even more supers involved leaves me cold"

[Rex]

Azir

"Yes, cold indeed. They are becoming too bold if they are backing an attack here."

[gurusql]

Wind Dragon

"What must have been the topic of the meeting to embolden them? And why were they going for aides?"

[shaidar]

Eclipse

"It's a good point about the aides. It's not like they wouldn't have known what the VP and PM looked like. What would they gain by that? Unless it's a less aggressive move, but still likely to supply in the information they are after."

[Rex]

Azir

"We will need to be very careful, the aides could be brainwashed, charmed or even replaced with duplicates possibly. Us rescuing them could be what they want."

[VonAlric]

Dos Seso

"If needed, I could.... 'verify' the identity of the aides, maybe even learn if they are charmed or under hypnosis."

[gurusql]

Wind Dragon

"I have to prepare for tomorrow in my day job, I will be arriving about 15-20 min before the start of the press conference. Eclipse when you can confirm which room can be my lab let me know - I will work on setting it up over the next week or so."

[Rex]

Azir

"A good idea Dos Seso."

[shaidar]

Eclipse looks at the others

"You'll need extra space so why not take the master bedroom, if nobody objects? I'm not bothered about it, I'm happy with the second floor bedroom by the war room."

[Rex]

Azir

"I don't mind if you take the master bedroom."

[gurusql]

You are free to discuss items as long as you like. When you are ready to move to the press conference, please post what you plan to do between now (late Tuesday evening) and the Wednesday afternoon press conference.
