Now this is how they taught us things would go, Magician thought.
After Jeckle finished speaking, Magician stepped forward and began speaking.
"I'm called Magician. I'm skilled in sleight of hand and disguise. My main power is to convert any energy, except kinetic, into another form of energy. This makes me somewhat immune to energy attacks, at least those I can see. When they hit me I can convert them to a harmless form. Unfortunately, it's by touch so I can't use my power to protect anyone else unless I get in the way.
"I can also create holes in walls, doors or whatever as long as there is a space on the other side. The doors are temporary, but when they close there will be trace, which is useful. For spying I can create an small energy ball and transfer my senses into it. Unfortunately, with my senses gone I can't protect my body, though I will be aware of any attack. And I can create a personal protective barrier, but just over myself."
Having nothing else to say, Magician sits down and listens to everyone else.

Dante listens as the others give a verbal resume to the group. He makes his way to the window and looks out and tunes out the others for a second.
Without turning around, "I thought we were supposed to be getting to work, not doing elementary school introductions," he says with a sigh and a shake of his head. "Omega Shield brass classify me as a Natural Psionic. I've always had these mind over matter abilities, thus my codename Cerebrum. It also seems that the older I get the more abilities I gain. Being a psionic is also why I can tell you without a doubt, this town is dark, very dark. I literally feel it coming at me from all sides. There is no way to avoid it, just have to try and deal with it. I trained in martial arts while I went to school for computers and electronics right here in CS. I'm skilled with a staff, blunt, paired weapons, and a sword which is good since I can make a mental one appear in my hand."
Turning back to the group, "I won't go through all of my mental abilities as it's already in my file. Items of note, I can interface with any machine, and operate devices just by thinking of it. I can also see the schematics and full operating procedures for anything I touch," addressing Jeckle for a moment, "which is why I could comment on the quality of your work."
"There's more, but you will see them as we go through the mission, or you can read my file. I think they are all there. I'm from this city originally. I didn't leave on good terms, and I am back reluctantly. I will do the best I can to get the job done quickly. My desire to get out of here and my past will not interfere with the mission. You have my word."
Dante then stays quiet and turns back towards the window.

gives voice to one question in her mind and then sits back to listen to the answer 'cool .. maybe one of you can help me. wanna develope an eye piece to show the electrical pulses. that way we can tell if someone has gotten in and placed a bomb. some are powered by the ready source. one safeguard at least. sorry if you don't see that'
*crosses the arms and notes that up till she opened her mouth to ask the question, some of the teammates were kinda 'stand off-ish' with each other.

[Tiger]
“Excellent, I think I shared enough background in our last introduction, but just in case,” she draws her Ruger revolver, pointing at the ceiling, cocks the hammer, and then replaces the hammer in the safety groove and returns the gun to the holster at her back. Only an exceptional gunfighter or those with super human speed or sight notice her drawing, even those with sixth sense register the potential threat after the gun is already out of the holster, most people see her putting the gun away before they even realized it was there.
“I’ve been practicing,” she says to Patriot, “but I’m still better at martial arts than I am with a gun.”
“Now that we are all properly introduced, and before we start inventing anything, we’ll cover our mode of operations for this mission. There are two options tonight: the first being wait and do nothing which might annoy anyone tailing us. The second option would be doing something which could mislead any observers and free us up a little for our meeting tomorrow night.”
“Before we discuss our plans for tonight, I have only one major rule of engagement. You will find me very open minded about tactics, with one exception: be there. What I mean by that is each of you must be physically present. In order for that to happen we must be together. Anyone who is off on their own won’t be around when the others are attacked or will be singled out themselves.”
“Patriot, Shroud and Cerebrum are the deadliest members of our team. Magician, Jeckle an myself will need to be sure to work with one of them so our team doesn’t have an obvious weak link. No one works alone, and under no circumstances do we stop working together until this mission is over. If you have an old score to settle, we’ll take them down together after this is over, and right now we focus on our objective. This mission might last two days, or two months, and if any of you can’t commit to it you’d best leave right now, because if you bail in the middle and endanger the team I won’t forgive you.” Her tone is calm and professional, and somewhat understanding as if she can think of lots of reasons to quit in the middle of a mission, yet she is asking for a commitment not to.
After pausing a moment to give anyone a chance to walk out Tiger continues, “As for what we are going to do tonight, I’m mostly interested in things the six of us can do. If we are just going to do something pointless, I’d rather stay here so that anyone watching us gets bored. If we come up with a couple plans, we can always use one tonight and one tomorrow before our meeting. What are the suggestions?” She looks around at everyone.

*sits up and pulls out a tape player .. and hits play .. the room is filled with the sound of people playing cards ... and then carefully gets up and moves towards the door and sets it down so that anyone trying to listen in would get that .. and does the same with the windows, for the same reason. then moves back and sits down.
'hope you dont mind .. we wont really be heard unless we get really loud. so, i guess its up to those three about who works with whom now. i'm handy with tools and stuff like that, can kindaprotect myself in close quarteres .. so i'm most likely weakest there ... have fun, i will most likely stay quiet unless ineed to say something.'
*thinks back to see if she noticed any sort of 'convention' going on or a sign going up for one the next day, and how to utilize that as a cover if needed.

Patriot
Looking at Dante, his eyes narrowed slightly. "We're doing the introductions because there are some things that we all like to keep to ourselves, rookie. Well, out in the field there can't be any secrets. We each need to know what the other is capable of and what experience they have. You don't get that just from reading a file. You get it from hearing them talk. When Tiger, Shroud and I first met, we had several weeks to train and get to know the other's abilities and skills. We don't have that luxury." Looking to Tiger, he gave her a nod of approval. She had grown up in the past two years.
"I think Shroud and me should do some recon on the club." Reaching inside his jacket, he unclipped his cell phone that Wrecker had given him and tossed it to Jeckle. "Before that though, we need you to key everybody's cells together. Mine's already voice activated to Shroud and Tiger's. Make them all that way." Looking to Shroud. "As much as I like to have you as our overwatch, I think you should be our point man on this. With your shady past, you should be able to get us close to the Underground through this Tribe person." He looks to Dante. "Have you ever been to this club that we're going to?" He looks to Tiger. "I'm assuming that since it's a front for the Underground that they cater to metas, but we can't be sure. If they do, then they probably only admit them in."
"Once we make contact with the Underground, I think we should try and get them on board with us in bringing the Minotaur down. Taking him down is just the first step toward what this city needs. His organization needs to be brought down as well." He looks at everyone. "I'm not as optimistic about this mission as Tiger is. I don't think this is going to be a short one."

*catches the phone as Patriot continues and once he's finished comments 'yup ... want something done .. do it right the first time .. then you don't gotta do the same thing over again a hundred times halfa***d.' *then gets to work, opening it up and then pulls out her own and opens it as well as the hand gets a small toolkit and soldering gun ready*
*gets to work, almost blocking everyone else out, as she examines a few parts and then pulls an additional part out of hers. 'you want some fun? .. stick this on a cork and send it downriver ... check to see if there's a convention in town and get an itinerary off one of them. could be used to our advantage' *continues until she's done with her phone and holds out a hand for the next one .. * 'never did like being followed, thats the GPS from mine .. anyone want theirs ? .. catch a rat and feed it to one ... and let it loose.

"That reminds me," she turns to Jeckle and hands over her phone. "Our GPS scramblers aren't adequate. Just disable everyone's GPS locators. Its better to have them disabled than to have the enemy know where we are."
She glances at Kris. If they hadn't had the GPS locators on their last mission, he might be dead. Still she couldn't let the past dictate what they did now. Century Station was a completely different environment. She wouldn't let Kris fall this time, with or without GPS cell phones.

*stops working long enough to look up and then nods with a simple 'yes ma'am.... ' *then starts to hum off-key as she works. opening up Tyger's .. she disconnects, closes it and then tosses it back. then gets back to work on the other three phones and gets them up to speed*
*sits up and slips the tools away into their case. 'well that was fun ... cards anyone?'

Hesistently, Khris pulled his phone and handed it to Jeckle. " Donna touch the directory, please. There's alot of numbers in there that are, shall we say, invaluable." He looked at Patriot and shook his head. " I've done alot things in alot of places, but I'm just a tourist here. don't mind getting up close and personal for a change though. Provided someone has my back."

*takes a hold of Khis' phone and just disables the GPS as asked, then slides it back, and then sits back again and takes up the discarded notepad and then slips it away.
*looks at Tiger and comments 'so, who gets me as a partner? ..i'll make sure i don't embarass them. guess i'll be field testing my own things then' *after a moment gets up and moves to examine the view outside the room, as she proceeds to shelf her concern for her twin and not endanger the team or mission.

Grinning at Shroud, Patriot nodded. "Way I figure it, you and me can make entry into the club with Dante here. We'll all show up as being metas to anybody who can sense them like you can." He looks to Tiger. "Shroud and I will scout out a location for you and the others to stage as back-up in case things go sour. I don't expect that they will, but it doesn't hurt to be prepared." Clipping his cell phone back onto his belt, he turned to Shroud. "You ready to go, Irish?"

*closes the eyes, and rests the forehead onto the cool pane of glass, the fragility that is the core of her being is now placed behind walls of armour. the memories of his bravery becomes her template now.
*as the inner battle of wills takes place, the tears trickle down andthen vanish as she takes a deep sigh and looks out at the darkness once again. the color similar now to her emotions. brooding but not really dangerous

Picking up his phone and returning it to his belt, Khris scowled at Patriot. " I suppose, but you're not my first choice for a date. not by a long shot." He chanced a slight glance at Tiger as he got up. " but I suppose that if I canna go in alone, I might as well keep you in sight, lapdog. Keeps you out from under Alexander's desk." He smirked.

*remains staring out the window as she gets more of her self control back, and then quietly states 'try to get fingerprints for me. i don't care if its male or female, just get me some please. i can at least throw the scent off for a while that way. false fingerprints and such. need to see if i can get another set of glasses done up as well ... '
*before turning .. wipes the oil that transfered to the window with the right sleeve of her coat and smears it so that its now mixed with mineral oil and bees wax. then rests her forehead in the palm of the other hand, the left one.
