Moonlight
Sacramento, California - Outside the State Capitol Building
"Hey! Stop her! Intruder!"
Security guards flanking the Capitol building rush forward, but before they can accost you, you are already inside Cooper's bulletproof limousine. The driver looks up in a panic, and the mayor of Phoenix Bay actually shrinks back from your presence. "It's YOU!" he exclaims as you get into the seat next to him. "But the Champions... no, you can't be here! Security! Remove her. Security!"
But when you speak, he just laughs, as if the absurdity of your request gives him courage. "Protect the innocent! Wouldn't that include the aliens you know aren't connected to the Armada? I know exactly how you pesky, annoying heroes think," he says, wagging a finger at you. "Do you take me for an idiot? A Saturday-morning cartoon villain who would monologue his plan to you at the drop of a hat? Tell me, what advantage do I gain by telling you the Illumined One's plans - you, a nobody with nothing to offer in trade? You've a lot to learn about the art of deal-making if you want to get ahead in this world, my sweet!"
He adjusts the lapels of his jacket and opens the limousine's armored door. "Now, I'm off to meet the governor. I dare you to lay a finger on me, an unarmed and
INNOCENT civilian, in broad daylight... or night-light. Hmph!"
Two guards step forward to escort him as he exits. At that moment, fire flares in the distance as Knightfire reveals his true form, and in the brief flash of light you notice Cooper smirk and nod in that direction before walking off through the gates of the Capitol Building.
You notice that, attracted by the commotion, a man in a smart Western suit, accompanied by several aides and guards, is heading towards the gate to meet Cooper. From the attitude of deference shown by the surrounding humans, this must be one of their high-ranking leaders - the Governor of whom Cooper spoke. You realize that where Cooper is your sworn enemy, the Governor may prove more pliant.
OOC
Your Attractive works on him, but as a sworn enemy of the heroes Cooper is Hostile to you. Even with 3 degrees of success (result of 26 vs DC 15), you only make him Indifferent, and there is essentially no way he would risk the wrath of his master to give you that kind of information. His attitude cannot be improved further in this scene.
However, you have asked an excellent IC question, one you should keep in mind even if you do not discover the answer in this scene. That is, what Lucienne stands to gain by antagonizing alien refugees. It would make far more sense for her to gain their help (or at least use them as pawns) to fight against the Incarnate of War.
You can confront the Governor if you wish.
Alternatively, you can join Nightbird's combat (you enter on the 2nd round if so).
