As soon as she finishes the statement, a broom right out of Fantasia approaches Bulwark. It holds out its hands.

A similar broom approaches Madame Macabre, expecting the idol.

Meanwhile, all around the exhibits is a flurry of activity from animated cleaning supplies and carpentry tools repairing the cases.

"I am unharmed, Thank you. You appear tired, though. If the spatial realignment will not tax you, then feel free." he offers her his hand rather genteelly.

"A defeated Devil Ray disappeared as well and one of the... locals is requesting return of his stolen artifact. Returning to you all shortly." Zyzzak reports over comms.

Silver Phoenix pauses for a moment then shurgs her shoulders slightly and hands over the magic spear to the animated broom. Once the team has reunited she looks them over for any injuries. "Do any of you require medical attention?"

Evelyn "Bulwark" Gracen
HP: 2
Cnd: Healthy


When approached, Bulwark looks to the broom ... that had hands. She was quiet a moment, just staring at the thing, then looked to Harper and tilted her head to the animated object, encouraging her to hand over the spear.

Not long after that Zyzzak and Madame Macabre teleported nearby. Her attention moved to them and, after Silver Phoenix had tended to their injuries she spoke up. First addressing Madame Macabre, then speaking to the entirety of the team as she went on.

"Do you have an idea how we can get in contact with Seven? We need to confirm the Nexus is no longer in danger ... then move on to helping with the situation in the rest of Freedom City. I got a call from command that they were having some trouble with hostile meta-humans and needed backup."

One of the brooms seems to overhear Bulwark and looks down at a mirror it is carrying. He walks over to Bulwark and offers the mirror.

An image of Freedom City streets appears in the mirror. You see what looks like the aftermath of some fight. Squad 1 is there, securing supervillains, including all of the ones you just battled.

The broom takes the spear, bows slightly, and then wanders off with the artifact to a case being repaired.

"Cool" Luke
HP: 1
CND: Ice Cold


"We knock them out here any they get kicked out there? magic is crazy sometimes.", remarks Luke. Looking at the others, Luke figures someone has to say it, so he goes ahead with a shrug. "So Dracula and his thugs are the worst of the invaders? Unless this Seven has any more insight, it all felt so simple.", adds Luke.

Madame Macabre

HP: 0
Cnd: Fatigued; Bruised (-1)

Elizabeth hands the idol back over to the broom with a smile. "Thank you!" the black-robed woman says as the broom bounds away.

Looking back to her teammates, Elizabeth takes a deep breath clearly tired from the fight that just occurred. "Well, Seven should be able to restore the wards that protect this place. It seems that the imminent danger has passed. Now I wonder if there is a way to 'ring the door bell' so to speak and get Seven's attention."
OOC: Does Elizabeth notice (or recall) any thing that would allow her to contact Seven?

Evelyn "Bulwark" Gracen
HP: 2
Cnd: Healthy


The broom offered Evelyn a mirror. She initially raised a metal coated brow questioningly. Then, taking it she look into the reflective surface.

"Thank you."

After viewing the scene in the mirror she showed it to her teammates, allowing them to see the hostiles being captured. Then she handed the mirror back to the broom after every one had their opportunity to see it.

While listening to Elizabeth, Bulwark's demeanor shifts as though remembering something. After the necromancer finished speaking Evelyn snapped her fingers, which due to the metal surrounding them make a clinking sound.

"Medea. I almost forgot about her. She's after that atlas Seven said could help her become the next big deal in the magic community. On second thought, we should work on countering that effort before getting in touch with Seven."

"Last time we focused on looking for the hostiles and the Nexus created a path to them. So let's focus on finding Medea. Same formation: Phoenix and Shield on point."

Zyzzak will vanish from sight and hover above his companions.

To help him visualize he pulls up Medea's profile on his downloaded version of the AEGIS database.
May I try Well informed on Medea?

Never having run into Medea too much, Luke didn't have much to go on. Still, he did his part and tried to picture some probably female mage poking around for the powerful artifact. Maybe something in low cut, a cape, and having flowing black hair. That might have been a woman he saw at the bar a few nights ago though. This focus thing wasn't Lukes bag really.

As you all contemplate finding Medea, you suddenly realize there is now a wall next to you with a door in it.
Penetrating vision is still non-functional

"The file on Medea is sparse regarding potential tactics either she employs or to be used against her." Zyzzak says over comms. "Beware her transformational magics. We might want to try restraint, silencing, and/or sight obstruction against her. Otherwise, straight damage."

Madame Macabre

HP: 0
Cnd: Fatigued; Bruised (-1)
OOC: Did the door just appear or does it seem to have been there the whole time?
Elizabeth is listening to Bulwark's instructions as well as some remarks from her teammates when she notices the door. She takes a couple of steps closer to it, listening for any sounds coming from behind it. Her eyes initially drift to the area where a keyhole might be before scanning the door for any markings.
OOC: Here's a Perception roll: Just in case one is needed: Perception Roll for the Door: 1d20+10 26. So, a total of 26.
