Bulwark

Officer Morris reviews the credentials and then calls Lt DeLarge.

"A Captain Gracen from AEGIS is here to see you. Very well."

She hangs up the phone and turns to point down the hall.

"Just go down to the elevators and go up to the 3rd floor. Take a left, and go past a large conference room. His office will be on the right."

Captain Gracen makes her way through the station. Several people stop and stare at her uniform, but no one says anything. The instructions take her to the office of Lt Wayne DeLarge. The door is open, and Lt DeLarge is sitting at his desk. He is a black man with thinning hair and a short mustache. He is a bit bigger, but definitely looks like someone with quite a few years of experience.

He stands upon seeing Bulwark. "Captain Grace, please come inside. Have a seat." He points to a chair by his desk. "What brings AEGIS to The Big Easy?"

Cody

Cody actually recognizes all of the people he sees without contacting AEGIS.

The duo are Volt and Vibe. A pair of mutants, who may or may not actually be brothers. One is an electrical controller and the other is a kinetic controller.

One of the other two is a cyborg named Jaime. He is normally with a group of cyborgs who change their name so often, nobody even bothers anymore. They were the cyborgs that recently attacked your new HQ. Jaime can inject cybernetic fibers into people and take control of their nervous system. Cody is certain the rest of his squad are still in Lockdown.

The last one is Leroy Bane. He is metahuman hired muscle, usually working for some criminal or another. He might be here on his own, or he might be working for someone. You would need to check with some local contacts to find out if he is on a job or not.
Since I missed the first roll, I will use the second.

Kodiac
HP: 1 LP: 1
Condition: Normal


Noticing that some people turned around and walked away after seeing him, Kodiac just stayed doing what he was doing until it was time to go. For all he knew they could have just changed their minds, didn't like the look of him or were actually some of the robbers.

Anyway there wasn't much more he could do at the moment without making it too obvious he was looking for them.

Silver Phoenix sets up watching one of the museums. After a little bit, her phone buzzes. It's a text message.

Code: Select all

Alley behind you. Now. #
Harper bit her lip for a moment considering the text. It could be a trap, given the Horde's involvement it wouldn't be surprising for Czarina to try something given her personal grudge. However, Harper knew a couple of other people that are that direct.

Knowing that the only way to find out who messaging her was for her to follow the directions, Harper makes her way to the alley.

Silver Phoenix

As Silver Phoenixs get back into the alley, there is a noise above from the fire escape. About five stories up, Harper sees Hash leaning on the rail.

"Send the Bear-Man home, and I'll make sure you get all the messages Jeste wants to send you."
All electronics on Harper are shut off.

Evelyn "Bulwark" Gracen
HP: 4
Cnd: Healthy


"Lt. DeLarge."

... Evelyn stated the man's rank and name by way of greeting. When he stood up she extended her free hand towards him to shake. After giving the opportunity for a handshake she took him up on his offer and took a seat across from the lieutenant's desk.

"We have reason to believe that a group called the Horde will try to steal from the [insert museum name]. Has there been any unusual activity in the are?"

Bulwark

Wayne DeLarge squints for several moments, clearly puzzled by everything you just said.

"I don't know any Horde. The Museum of Death doesn't really have anything of monetary value, and in New Orleans, crazy IS the norm."

Madame Macabre

HP: 2
XP: 0
Cnd: Fatigued

Elizabeth gets her needed rest before undertaking the research and resource-gathering necessary to construct her foci. After pouring over her books, she settles on the objects needed to boost her team’s near-instantaneous travel from Atlanta to New Orleans. Over the relatively short distances which Elizabeth typically teleports, access to other planes of existence is never necessary. Her magic allows her to access microscopic wormholes all around her and “shrink” herself to move through them, “growing” once on the other side. The magical spell only gives her awareness of other wormholes within a mile or so of her own location and this is what restricts her range. But now what is being asked of her is much more difficult and involves thinking outside the box. It will require interdimensional travel; and that means much more preparation and caution.

The outskirts of the river Acheron are coincident with many physical locations on our material plane. With Charon’s insight, we can enter that realm, teleport a small distance, and then exit that dimension to a physical point much further than otherwise possible. But Charon must be paid for his consent. That is the one thing that foolish mortals must never fail to do.

In the quiet and seclusion of her room, the pale necromancer sets a thin metal crucible on a stand above a single candle. The candle is lit, and the crucible is allowed to become quite hot. Then the components are added each in turn: First, an ounce of river water to symbolize the dark river Acheron which borders Hades, Elysium, and Tartarus. Secondly, petals of Asphodel, the flower most common in the realm of the dead. And finally, a few drops of blood from Elizabeth’s bony albino fingers. As the ingredients boil, the substance steams away into the air. In her right hand, the necromancer holds three coins above the evaporating mixture and allows it to “infuse” them.

In her own arcane tongue, she slowly repeats the following words until no more fumes remain, “Mysterious Charon, lend us your aid as we set foot upon the banks of the Acheron! Take these coins as our just toll! Guide us to where we wish; and allow us to leave without incident! Do not treat us with anger! Do not lead us to the land of the dead!

Evelyn "Bulwark" Gracen
HP: 4
Cnd: Healthy


Leaning forward Evelyn places the folder she had been carrying on top of DeLarge's desk. Inside was the non-classified information that should could share the police.

"Everything in the folder is what I can share about the Horde. What they are after is or more spiritual importance than monetary."

After depositing the folder onto the table she leaned back in her chair.

"I would appreciate it if the NOPD could have some people staking out the Museum of Death for the next few days. When this all kicks off it will help to have your people ready to get in place and run crowd control of civilians while we focus on the Horde."

Bulwark

The man thumbs through the folder for several long moments, looking skeptically.

"I can't authorize the overtime for this. Especially not for a giant rock."

He closes the folder and places it down on the desk, near Bulwark.

Harper knew that Dr. Jeste didn't have many supporters in the Horde at the moment, so this could be a tactic to mislead the group. She eyed the psychic trying to read the truth of his words.

Silver Phoenix

Hash doesn't seem to have any notion of subtlety. His body language is pretty open, like someone who grew up without a lot of friends.

Or any.

He definitely looks like he is being legitimate. Whatever he has going on, he is serious about it and Kodiak is messing with it.

Evelyn "Bulwark" Gracen

Evelyn stared at the officer for a good thirty second. Silent. Then she picked up the folder and rose to her feet. Turning her back to the man she opened the door to leave. On her way out she raised her voice.

"Make sure you put that in your report when people end up dead: 'didn't want to authorize overtime.'"

She wanted other members of the department to hear that parting statement. Wanted them to be curious, if not concerned. Evelyn closed the door afterwards, not giving DeLarge the opportunity to respond. On her way out she slapped the folder with information on the Horde down on a table. Maybe someone would be curious enough to take a look. Either way, she didn't linger. As she exited the building she called up the HQ, trying to get in contact with one of the two members of the team who should both be there and be active.

"Nathan, Cody, if Macabre wakes before I get back ask her to contact her NOPD contact. Maybe they will be willing to lend an assist."

Bulwark

DeLarge rolls his eyes at Evelyn's dramatics. He is very unimpressed.

Nobody seems to respond to Bulwark's actions as she leaves. If anyone looks at the folder, she doesn't see it happen.

Nathan responds to the message.

"Both Cody and Elizabeth and focused on doing their work right now. Cody is watching the video and didn't even notice me come in and drop off some snacks. Elizabeth came in with a bunch of 'witchdoctor looking' stuff and went in her room with the 'Do Not Disturb' sign put out. I'll let her know when she is finished."

Evelyn remembers it's going to be much, much later in the day before she finishes.

Harper lets out a small, quiet sigh. "I will pass you're message and do what I can."

Once she is able to, Harper informs Bulwark of Hash's demand and intent to ensure delivery of the Doctor's messages.
