"Sorry I killed you" comes up a lot more in a superhero universe than it probably should.

It's like the inverse of two heroes meet and fight one another.

What does Binary's flight platform look like?

... do you perhaps mean Marcus' flight platform?

Binary's flight is on a platform, too. I'm guessing it's some kind of force field she creates under her feet, but I wanted to make sure before I commented on it ICly.

Yes, it is a force field kind of thing. I don't know if I gave it descriptors on the char sheet but it would be "alien, technological, force" I suppose.

Marxus' 'Hum-V' is a V shaped device that hums when it's in operation. When not in use it folds somewhat in on itself and magnetically attaches to the back of Marcus's dark grey Awesome Suit.

Marcus is not very good at naming things.

Okay, GM imposed retcon. In one post, Binary says that she died in 2060 -- but that doesn't make a lot of sense if everybody died in the 2060s, but she knows what happened to Jack Rocket, who died a year before she did, and Peacekeeper and Freebird don't know that.

So here are your official dates of decease:

Inquisitor: 2062
Peacekeeper: 2063
Freebird: 2063
Billie: 2064
Binary: 2068

Okay, so since we learned Peacekeeper's death was the start of the fall of the Authority. What does Binary remember about the fall (or the beginning of the fall) of the Authority? I'm curious if the event was momentous as it happened or only in hindsight. (Assuming they got the history right.)

(Assuming they got the history right.)
After the Cleveland Massacre, a number of states began to openly support the Resistance, where before they'd only been covertly doing so. Where many superheroes had tried to maintain neutrality in the conflict, they also increasingly opposed the Authority, sometimes very directly. It still took three years to reach the point where the Resistance was able to launch their assault on the Authority's headquarters, coinciding with a power struggle among the Authority's leadership, that brought down the organization. Enough members of the previous Congress and Senate were released from various prisons or came out of hiding to create a provisional government. By the time Jaina and Jacen met their end, a Presidential election had been scheduled for November of that year, though they died before it was actually held and don't know how any of that worked out. (After nearly fifteen years of Authority rule, many people were deeply cynical about whether the Provisional Government was actually going to give up power to newly elected officials.)

I'm going to assume Jaina was oblivious to who Genevieve was as she was still in shock over the prospect of Jacen rattling around in her head for the rest of her days. At some point I'll have her react: Oh, you were that person.

But not "today".

It should probably be a reaction power if it isn't something she actively does. But no big deal. It works however you want it to work. I made the roll only because I didn't see Subtle on her power.

I think the attempt to read Binary's mind would result more in "static" not blankness. But that might just be how Victoria's power fails to register Binary's mind.

To clarify; her tactile telepathy is an active power, and lacking a detect mind power, she doesn't even passively feel the minds of people she touches (Though that is another power oversight on my part).

None of her powers are subtle, causing her eyes to glow when being used.

What do I mean by what? He asked if she wanted a drink and she said to surprise her. They she asked for a geography lesson.
