Kodiac
HP: 0 LP: 1
Condition: Bruise x 3


Looks like his comment had inspired them rather than deciding to give up, Kodiac mused no-showing another punch that landed in the same area as before.

With a half hearted snarl he brought his head down to headbutt Muscles 1.

Kodiak lands a glancing blow and the muscle man is again able to avoid the large hero's grasp.

Evelyn "Bulwark" Gracen
HP: 4
Cnd: Fatigued


Without Lowering her pistol Evelyn pulled at the metal object she had taken from the animalistic kidnapper. There were no external movements or gestures from Evelyn. She drew on her power mentally and was physically detached from their use. The throwing knives were drawn in close, maneuvered in a whirlwind of flashing edges at the backs of the two hostile combatants that were now focused on attacking Kodiac.

Standard Action to use Move Objects, Shapable Area and Precise, to pelt the Muscle guys with metal objects she took from the Feral. I believe your ruling was DC 20 Dodge to avoid all damage, rather than halving it. DC 25 Toughness if they fail

Bulwark and Kodiak

The metal shrapnel pelts the two grapplers, rendering them unconscious.
They have no chance of winning, so I will call this here.
Leaves time for any wrap-up roleplaying.

I imagine Evelyn will have words with Luke regarding the state of the HQ.

Kodiac
HP: 0 LP: 1
Condition: Bruise x 2


"Nicely done" Kodiac said after the muscle enhanced foes were taken down by a cloud of metallic items.

Quickly checking that they weren't foxing, Kodiac indicated the cabin "It might be best Captain if you check on the girl, my face isn't what a scared little girl needs to see right now."

Kodiac started securing the prisoners.

Evelyn "Bulwark" Gracen
HP: 4
Cnd: Fatigued


Evelyn panned her pistol over the downed metahumans. After confirming the wouldn't be getting up anytime soon she holstered her weapon and lowered the various pieces of metal to the ground. A nod of confirmation, or agreement, was given when Kodiac proposed that she be the one to speak with the kidnap victims.

"Don't forget the one you kicked into the woods."

With that she made her way to the front door of the cabin. Evelyn didn't stand in front of the door, but rather to the side. She knocked at it, rapping her gloved knuckles over the door.

"I am Captain Evelyn Gracen, from AEGIS. The fighting is over. Coming in now."

After the warning was given she opened the door and peered around the corner of the door frame, into the building. Then, after confirming there wasn't someone ready to attack her on entry, she moved inside to look for the woman and child that had been kidnapped.

Bullwark & Kodiak

As Kodiak retrieve the Feral from the tree he is embedded in, Bulwark examines the cabin. There is a large main room with several smaller rooms. Only one has a closed door. There is a chair wedged against the door and scuffling coming from the other side.

Evelyn "Bulwark" Gracen
HP: 4
Cnd: Fatigued


After panning her eyes over the interior, they settle on the closed door. Evelyn walked up to it, took the lip of the chair's seat in one hand, and pulled the down and away from the door. The chair was then set aside. Once both hands were free she used her right to open the door.

"Stand back. I'm opening the door."

Bulwark and Kodiak

Bulwark finds the woman and child huddled in the room.

Evelyn calls in support to secure the metas. They arrive reasonably quickly and take the prisoners.

"You should get back to your base. There was an incident, and another team was dispatched to collect some prisoners there."

Kodiac
HP: 0 LP: 1
Condition: Bruise x 2

After handing the prisoners over to the authorities, Kodiac was close enough to hear the update to Evelyn.

"If they are collecting prisoners then it should be over but the more important question is do you have any idea what the incident was?" Kodiac asked the agent at the end.

"Okay let them know we are on our way." Kodiac replied hoping that it would not be too tight a squeeze on the way back.

All

Everyone arrives back at the base to find the gate splayed open and the front shot up with lasers.

"Cool" Luke
HP: 1
CND: Ice Cold


For the rest of the time, Luke wrote up a quick report comprised of a combination of thumbs up drawings and we kick cyborg butt. After that, he hung out with Jake drinking whisky and eating pizza plus some extra cheesy carnisada nachos left over in the fridge. The old Luke would have went out on the town to party, but someone had to hang back to protect the base now that it was unguarded by a gate. He was maturing, slowly.

After saving the base, he figured he didn't need to do much clean up. They had staff for that or could hire someone. Besides, if he was cleaning who would be guarding the base.
