Zyzzak

Zyzzak sees the other side of the rec room when he looks through the door.

"Cool" Luke
HP: 1
CND: Ice Cold


"Seems like its locked too. Our resident necromancer didn't order a new door? Might as well check the knocker. Don't see many of these around.", says Luke casually. The movie was out of his head now and the door seemed all the more interesting. Might as well try it out fully, Luke figured. He grabbed the knocker and gave it a go.

Zyzzak
HP:1 LP:1 CND:
Senses: Radio Sense, Darkvision
EM I/O: Communication to technology
Pattern Array: Comprehend/Speak Machines
Defensive: Phasing
Wrist Emitters: Tractor beam


"Maybe we should have Madam Macabre take a look before knocking?" Zyzzak suggests (though it may not have been in time).

With a command to his suit's technology integrating systems every speaker in the HQ projected Zyzzak's voice (at normal conversational tones). Not panicked but insistent.

"Everyone to the Room designated for Recreation, please. A doorway that seems magical in nature has appeared. Unknown threat risk."
"Something pithy this way comes."

Cool Luke

The door knocker forms a sort of face and mouth. In a gravelly voice with an accent of someone who grew up in the Riverside area of Freedom City, it says, "Go away! I'm looking for a magi and that ain't you." Then the knocker returns to its normal appearance.

Evelyn "Bulwark" Gracen
HP: 1
Cnd: Healthy


Evelyn was about to say something when Zyzzak's voice came over the sound system. He drew in a breath and let it out slowly in a sigh.

"I have just been informed that there is some manner of door shaped anomaly in the base. You'll have to excuse me sir. I need to look into this."

She gave Commander Parrish an opportunity to respond, if he needed to, before she hung the phone. Evelyn then opened the bottom left drawer of her desk. It was full of nails. She shoved her hand into the mass of pointed metal objects, and the metal crawled it's way up her limb, under her uniform. Soon every part of her that was clothed would be coated in a layer of metal. Shortly afterwards Evelyn exited her office and made way to the rec room. Her pace slowed when she saw the door. Her eyes narrowing subtly.

"There is a situation in Freedom City. We might be called in to support Squad 1."

After getting that out of the way, she looks to the others.

"Where is Madame Macabre, and why is there a magic door in our base?"

"Cool" Luke
HP: 1
CND: Ice Cold


When Bulwark asked her questions Luke just shrugged. "I was settled in with some Reeds Creek whiskey and a peanut butter, banana, and chips sandwich to watch a movie when I almost tripped over this thing.", replied Luke. His nearly finished bottle and half eaten sandwich were still on the table by the recliner. The glass was still in his hand. Despite the amount of alcohol consumed, Luke didn't shew any signs of inebriation.

"I tried knocking, but seems this door is partial to mages. Probably good to go check on our resident magi.", adds Luke starting to turn after taking another sip. The warning of possibly needed to aid another team, a magical door, and everything else didn't even seem to phase him at all. Before leaving to go look for Madame Macabre, Luke looks back to the door. "You could have just asked for us to fetch the magi for you, you know.", finished Luke heading out.

"Ooh.. which movie?" the cinephile alien looks toward the flat screen then catches himself. "Sorry, not relevant to the situation, I imagine." Zyzzak says.

As he was leaving, Luke responded briefly to the alien. "Frogman: Trouble in Gutter, some cops said it was great. First two scenes are pretty good.", says Luke.

Cool Luke

Luke checks the usual locations and finds Madame Macabre unconscious in her room. The hero is unable to rouse her.

Luke heads over to the nearest comm link and radios in. "I don't think the door is going to get its Magi yet. She's down for the count.", says Luke.

Silver Phoenix:
[Harper Zhao]
Condition: Fine
HP: 1

The Shield wrote:"Okay, I walked right into that one. Another point for you."
Harper smiled back. “No worse than my getting trapped in that … what did you call it again? A DDT?” She still felt a tingly twinge in between her shoulder blades from the impact of her head hitting the ground after Harry had gotten her in a headlock at his side. It had taken Harper a few moments before she felt ready to get back to her feet after that, and she made sure to remember to have Harry show her how to perform it so she could try it out the next time she went back to the temple so she could use it herself.

If it surprised her, then it would definitely surprise some of her peers.

It was things like that move that Harry had done that impressed Harper. While it was clear to her that the older man had a long lifetime’s worth of experience fighting it was vastly different from hers. It clearly a self-made style that Harry had been honed over several years of actual use down to a version that was extremely effective for him.

That was a kind of skill and dedication that was highly respectable to Harper, she felt that she could learn much from her teammate and looked forward to the experience. She hoped that she could return the favor by showing Harry a few things that would suit his physical strengths that he could easily incorporate into his arsenal.

It was with that thought that Harper returned to their arranged starting point to begin another round. “The score is twenty-one to twenty, whenever you are ready Harry.” Harper’s smile widened slightly as she assumed her stance.

Harry "The Shield" Mackenzie
HP: 1 Condition: Normal

Harry smiled, but internally he was thinking damn it.

Harper was very good at reading attacks and countering, and every time he started on the offensive he always wound up taking a hit or two. A part of him wished Bruce was still around, he would have loved to have a pupil like Harper.

Just as he was about to commit himself to an attack he heard the radio queue on and Zyzzak's voice informing them of the situation.

"On our way," Harry responds before stepping back off the training mats.

"Word of advice, if it sounds weird, but it isn't a rush you probably should take the opportunity to get your uniform and gear. And a bathroom break if you need it," Harry says, "My experience is that the stuff that starts slow usually doesn't give you time to breathe once it gets started, and you might not get another oppertunity."

Harry grabbed his bag and paused in the bathroom to change into his uniform. The new boots were a little uncomfortable, but that was to be expected. Boots never felt good until they'd had a few months of use in them. He'd replaced his old boots with a new pair using some remarkably old technology built into them.

An old crimefighting duo he'd occasionally crossed paths with had used Static Shoes to run up walls and walk on the ceilings. They'd gifted him a pair, ages ago. And while that pair had fallen into disrepair, Zyzzak had been able to reverse engineer the technology to make him a new pair.

Honestly he'd been able to make a far better set, but Harry had been hesitant. He wanted to get used to using them again before he started upgrading them. That being said the alien technician had done amazing work.

A few moments later he was on his way, entering the Rec room in full costume with his shield.

"So what's the situation?"

Evelyn "Bulwark" Gracen
HP: 1
Cnd: Healthy


She eyed the door suspiciously, until Luke reported their teammate was out of action. Pacing over the the intercom he pressed the transmit button.

"Where is she?"

Evelyn removed her finder from the intercom after posing her question. When Shield entered the room requesting an update she gestured at the door in the center of the room that wasn't supported by any wall.

"On top of the door, Madame Macabre is out of action, and there is a situation in Freedom City they might need out help with."

After Luke had reported Madame Macabre's Location she looked from Zyzzak to Harper.

"Phoenix and Zyzzak, see if you can help Madame Macabre, or find out why she isn't waking."

Luke passes along the location and waits. His skill set didn't include much beyond chatting people up and freezing them. Neither was likely to work in this case.

Zyzzak
HP:1 LP:1 CND:
Senses: Radio Sense, Darkvision
EM I/O: Penetrating vision.
Pattern Array: Comprehend/Speak Machines
Defensive: Phasing
Wrist Emitters: Tractor beam


Zyzzak makes it to Madam Macabre's room in moments by virtue of phasing. Not having a background in xenophysiology he'll scan the earthling's form for broken bones and other trauma including visual inspection of stomach contents to check for dissolving pills of any kind. He will then look around the room for clues as to why the necromantrix was unconscious.

"Have you administered light trauma in order to wake her?" Zyzzak will ask Luke. "Open palm to the cranial flank, perhaps?"
"Something pithy this way comes."
