Destroy?! Oh no, no, no.

With two tech experts, a mage, and an 'everything-else' pok-e-psychic here we will make these 'watches' our b!^<#. Rand makes sure Shannon gets a chance to look at one of those in hopes the intelligence operative can figure out what it might do. He asks Lindsey if he can read any magic off the other.

Lindsey

Concentrating, Lindsey tries to see if there is any magic wafting off of either of them....

No magic. Whatever it was was technological in nature - same thing for residue where Sektor and Kar'Anna disappeared.

Rand drives them to a rent-a-storage on the north side of town. While driving he books a large unit online and gets e-mailed the code for entrance. He remotely puts it in to the keypad and the automatic door rolls up. It rolls back down after he drives in, cutting out the light and noise of the outside world with an ominous CLANG. The only light is the van's headlight's reflected off of the far concrete block wall and his suit's own bevy of LEDS as he turns around from the driver's seat to regard the goons in the very rear. He casually rests his arm pointing at the captives. The small fire of a pilot light, like those flamethrowers would have, kindles significantly.

"You should be talking right about now." He says menacingly.

S & S

OOC: Shannon has perfectly accurate machine translation available for the written word, but not the spoken. Sherlock only understands mouth noises in English, but he's an empath with anyone and a telepath with other telepaths.

Shannon takes the wrist device for future examination, but doesn't feel any need to try and discover its secrets at super-speed right now.

Rand's got an app in his helmet that translates terrestrial languages (even 'made up' ones like elvish and Klingon). Speaks them too but he has to set it to which one.

Lindsey

" Nothing the least bit magical", Lindsey says, shrugging. " It's tech - although the line there is getting more and more blurry by the day."

The goons rattle off in Spanish - one is clearly more afraid of someone (or something) else than the lot of you. Which is saying something considering Randin's armor, the fact that you completely wrecked Sektor and that they witnessed Kar'Anna hefting a couch in the air without touching it. All more or less common things since the Merge, but not something that you can dismiss as non threatening.

The more rattled of the two says something about how a syndicate - or syndicated people - will destroy them. Its not clear if he means you, himself and his partner or the lot together. Anyone scanning surface thoughts sees:

When pressed why they attacked you, the stronger minded of the two laughs and says they got what they wanted but the weaker says they want the stones. He points to Lindsey, mentions snake - no, cobra. Kobra? - they new the snake would come back to make contact but its usefulness was over. Eliminate him, capture any associates, get the stones.

They don't reveal where their base is or where Kar'Anna and Sektor may have gone, at least not yet.

A touch of his glove controls and there are two synthesized voices from Rand's helmet, his usual digitized voice in English and a more artificial deep male voice in Spanish.

"They're activated remotely. We were supposed to capture Kobra and return to a rendez vous point. The devices are not under our control"

"Will you shut up already? Solon will kill us if he finds out how much you`re spewing."

"We're as good as dead anyway - maybe these guys can offer us some kind of protection. Besides, if they were going to get us out, they'd have done it when they took Lance Laser ?"


At this point, if Shannon examines the devices in any more depth, she'll see the workings of glorified egg timers, even for this era. These two were duped into thinking there was an extraction plan.

Rand adjusts his flame thrower so it points directly at the one telling the other to stay unhelpful.

"You. Shut up."
"Te callas."

His armored head turns to the other one.

"Where do they go? or if you don't know, where are their headquarters?"
"¿A dónde van? O si no sabes, ¿dónde están sus oficinas centrales?"

"They could be anywhere.

"But Lance Laser frequents a place called the El Rey."

The other guy glowers but complies.

Amy

"Lance Laser?" she chuckled a little at that and sobered. It was no more ridiculous than her pokemon and they were deadly when pressed. "Who is this Solon guy and this Laser dude?"
