Captain D. Abrams's page

Risen Fate, Franklin just motions you behind one of the ambulances conveniently out of sight of the SHRU officers. He applies your [Local Anasthetic] to the wound and applies a couple stitches.

Franklin frowns at the wound. I think there was some kind of venom on whatever stabbed you. Frankly, I've never seen a reaction like this. You really need to take it easy for a few days.

Timeline, Abrams looks rather non-plussed at your little speech and you hear him mutter. Fine, fine, dinnae need your entire life story, Timebrain.

Just as you are about to teleport away Abrams points a finger at you. I better not catch you anywhere near a crime scene again, capiche! Or I'll haul you and all your Superfriends down to maximum security and throw away the key. Frickin' vigilatism is gettin' out of hand.

Joseph, you "eat" your sub just fine. As you are finishing up, you hear a couple thuds on the roof. As you peer outside, you notice a blue and black clad Knight running away down an alley. he appears to have an empty parachute pack on his back. On the roof, you see two parachutes and an unmoving body (similarly attired to the first) with a scorch hole on his chest.

Timeline, your insight into the guard's story reveals much as you'd expect. He got beat up, dealt a staggering blow to the already injured villain, and then tried to escape. Armed SHRU officers train weapons on you as you let Suvarna Ankita, the mayor and the guard go. Captain Abrams walks up eyeballing you with a most vicuous glare.

He talks with his men and they go to check on the status of the civilians. Colonel Kopel hobbles over after a minute. The two confer and Abrams steps forward.

Well now, Mr. Knight. Destruction of private property. Assault and Battery. Evasion of a federal officer. I can go on but I'm sure ye get ma meanin'.

He glances at Colonel Kopel. Even with the massive amount of property damage, they be meanin' to let ye off even wit that seein' as ye played a part in fightin' off dem other Knights. Me, I ain't gunna just let you go.

He shakes his head like he's not liking what he's admitting. He extends his right hand begrudgingly. Leastways not without knowing yer name. This coulda been a sight bloodier if'n you hadn't been there.

Yes, yes, I'll send one of the cops to see that your bus gets back to the school. After it's been thoroughly checked of course.

Emit, you broke a ten so you add +2 to Baker's Deception roll.

Baker. I'm afraid your attempt to persuade Abrams does nothing to lessen the man's suspicious. You get the feeling he'd suspect his own grandmother of evil deeds if he found her at a crime scene.
Well that's quite the tall tale ye be telling lad. Would nae believed ya if it hadn't been though. Yer story checks out. But don't be skippin' town! If I find one iota of evidence missin' or tampered it'll be yer hide or I'm a cross-eyed gopher. Watkins, check the database for known time manipulators. And while you're at it, throw in history buffs and war re-enacters too.

@Emit: Y'don't say? Charlie! I want you to check the men's restroom. Look for any suspicious looking janitors.

Just then Madelyn arrives back with the tour list sign-in sheet.

Let's see here...Mahoney any of these names seem familiar to yo- Now hold it a second! You seeing that name too? Well I'll be a horsefly the size of the Serengeti, it's an old friend of ours, the Prauf.

He begins barking orders. Get more men in here, I want this place locked down ASAP. And whatever ye do, don't let the dang blasted military in here! They'll not be messin' with this investigation.

A definite smile widens the craggy man's face at his latest...discovery?

Now then you did say there was a Joe with ye when you was investigating this strange man? Not a certain Professor Joseph Fankenburg? The tour guide for your group?

Abrams interrupts Ms. Fourmer. I'll be the judge of who is guilty or not, miss. So, Mr. Scott is it? Beam me up and all that. Heh.

Well, Scotty, you'd better tell me everything thing that you saw while you were in there. Judging by the scene, some serious shennanigans were about. But first, ye'd had better hand over the gear ye found on that loon. I've half a mind to put ye in cuffs just for that! Evidence department is already going to be on my back for the mess they have to sort through in that exhibit.

Oh, and Ms. Fourmer. Can you get that list of guests for those tours around that time? I'll thank ye from the bottom of me heart He says rather insincerely.

Madelyn hurries to the western side of the lobby where her office is.

Joseph, peering out from the men's room you can clearly make out Captain Abrams and his distinctive cigar. He talks loud enough you can hear the information above just fine.
