Steve Sanderson [Flicker] & Maximillian Arikas [Aether]:

Steve mentions to the group via Scamp:

"I could rush the guard on my side growing to my normal height & using Shell to knock the guard off balance into the other guard.

Max to group via Scamp:

I could use my Telekinesis to lift the guard on my side into the other guard.

S.C.A.M.P. relays the message and adds one of his own. Let's do it, before they set the explosives!

Raven sends his message along on the brain talky highway thingy, "Lets do it on the count of three... 1.... 2.... 3!"

After that Raven will watch the plan take action, Max and Steve taking on the two guards while Elsa takes on the foreman, if he see's anyone having any trouble he will teleport in and knock out whoever needs to be knocked out.

Hehe, following MonkeyWrench's example, I will need some rolls of success from you guys, unless... you want me to do them for you? :shock: :lol:

S.C.A.M.P. stays hidden to the side and coordinates communication, jumping into combat only if a guard tries to escape.

The group works with well-executed planning and coordination as they simultaneously take out both armed guard at once using non-lethal force. Scamp's mental communications and Raven's stealthy planning helps guarantee this group's success. With both guards knocked out of the picture, Permafrost comes flying in and uses her disc of ice and lobs it at the foreman. The ice splashes onto the ground and effectively wraps around his legs and arms. [1d100] = 79

Scamp can detect no other signs of activity in the current mental sphere, but stays on alert nevertheless. With the bomb threat neutralized and the mysterious intruders taken care of, as well as having secured the item they came for, all the hard parts of the mission seem to be behind them now.

Confident in their control of the situation, the group of supers enter the office area (or stay in there) and begin to question the foreman, Gregorus Heftfield....

S.C.A.M.P. sniffs around for any explosives and listens to the foreman's thoughts while he's interrogated.

"The boss? What sort of crap are you trying to p-" The man stops himself before he accidently says something stupid. After getting a good luck at the boy's face and learning that the boy knows his name, he start's to put two and two together. "Look. We've been as frantic as our boss has been. If he's sent someone to figure out what's going on, he hasn't been getting our messages at all, and vice versa! It's as if there has been a communications blackout, some invisible wall blocking all messages in and out. Ever since the whole teleportin' business began, this place has been spiraling down to hell! You've got to believe me!"

Scamp's sniffing around finds many explosives throughout the complex, most of it packaged up in crates scattered all of over the place. Apparently explosives and weapons were a big seller in the underground markets. You can tell that the foreman is still suspicious of the boy and does not want to name any names, but his mind is an open book and the name Mr. Arikas keeps on popping up, probably the boss. The foreman is also still thinking about blowing the place up, covering up all evidence of this underground operation....

S.C.A.M.P. relays the name "Mr. Arikas" to the others, along with the information that the foreman is still thinking of blowing the place up. How? Is he holding a trigger?

You can't tell. The foreman isn't thinking too much about it considering his current situation.

"If you are who I think you are, then you better start running boy. You've learned what's been going on. We've been robbed by teleportin' thugs and this place has been compromised by a bunch of supers. Unless you want thousands of tons of earthen debris falling on your head and scratchin up your pretty clothes, I suggest you get your group and high tail out of here. I'm... not planning on getting out of this alive as it stands. Better just me and my men then all of you as well."

The foreman's tone becomes less hysterical and more calmed and serious as he finishes his short talk with Max. It looks like he is set on taking the place out with him... how, you have no bloody idea! You don't see a detonator anywhere and none of the guards was carrying anything suspicious. Looking around, all you see is filing cabinets that have been torn through, desk drawers wide open, a safe that has been emptied and a bag of valuables from said safe. A computer sits behind the foreman and spreadsheets are displayed, currently being downloaded to a flashdrive of sorts.

What do you guys want to do? Make any ability checks, search the room, continue the interrogation, follow Gregorus' advice, or do something else?

S.C.A.M.P., the bomb-sniffing, mind-reading robodog, isn't about to let this place blow up. Bombs are bad! He was created to stop them! But how to prevent a big boom when he can't sniff out the detonator?

That downloading file is suspicious. Is something rigged so that when the file finishes downloading, the explosives blow up? Maybe they rigged a flash drive to explode when it filled up? The dog is not a technology expert.

The foreman must know how the explosives will be set off, thinks the dog. The man just needs to be convinced to stop it, or at least tell what the detonator is.

S.C.A.M.P. exerts his mind control ability on the foreman to the fullest effect he can muster. Abort the explosion!
[1d100] = 53 (Willpower+10 = 60)

S.C.A.M.P. will spend fortune points to shift the Foreman's roll against mind control. Does he have to decide how many points to spend before the roll, or can he shift it after the roll is made?

Steve Sanderson [Flicker] & Maximillian Arikas [Aether]:

I am to thinking of having the supers with Teleportation ability teleport the explosives into the water.

We are in a warehouse along a coastal dock right?

Of course locating the Trigger would help.

It also appears the place may have been placed in a space/time rift at some point in order to raid it or whatever.

Raven can teleport and would help. Wondering if the mind control of Scamp will work however...

I also thought I had made a search post but I don't know where it went...

An idea quickly flashes into Permafrost's head and flashback images of Raven's prowess with computers and technology are shown to everyone via S.C.A.M.P.

Raven nods, knowing what must be done. He teleports into the room, right in front of the computer, and pounds the keyboard with this fist. The file download screen flickers, stops... then the screen goes blank as smoke starts to rise from the computer. Permafrost smiles and the foreman goes into a cold sweat, his eyes bulging at the display of ruthless violence against technology. Everyone waits and.... nothing happens. No explosions, no alarms, just the sounds of Permafrost laughing. "I knew that skill of yours would come in handy evenutally!"

"NOOO! YOU FOOLS!!! Do you realize what you've just done?! Now the police are going to find this place and Arikas Shipping will be ruined!" The foreman screams, spits and howls at the supers, the computer file transfer apparently being the detonator. The statement hits home with Max/Aether however, considering the fact that the company is owned by his family, his father the one who will likely be jailed. If word gets out about this black market ring and Arikas Shipping's involvement in such, he will go from richboy to penniless street crawler, he can feel it.

What will you guys do?

Raven looks down at the computer before looking back at Elsa, his face completely serious as he awkwardly gives her a thumbs up. He then searches the room the computer is in, looking for anything interesting...possibly a sword...

S.C.A.M.P. gives a happy bark at a job well done. Explosion averted!

Then he thinks about the implications of what the foreman just said. He looks to Max/Aether to see what he plans to do.

With Raven's incredibly sharp eyes, he is able to, with some concentration, figure out where all of the active bomb placements are. Certain crates in the surrounding area almost looked completely legitamite, but to Raven's trained eyes, he can detect the slight tremors in the item's outlining edges, indicating hologram technology at use. He confirms this with a toss of a random object, disrupting one of the holograms revealing said armed explosive. Together with Steve, the two would be able to find all of armed explosives and disarm them using Steve's skillset.

During his search for the area, he also finds a concealed button under the foreman's desk. No sword is in sight, but you have not forgotten the lady scientist's promise of a reward....

The foreman is confused by the sudden turn of events and wonders what the boy means. He remains quite but still sweats bullets as he watches Raven uncover all of this secrets one by one.
