SENTRY - Nathan's page

Wow team, I am so sorry. Some of you may have seen in other games that I have recently returned to work, but I am sorry not to have posted that here. It's QUITE an adjustment. I have the day off Thursday and can catch up/post. Sorry about that.

Angel stands in the doorway, appalled by the violence around her. "Please surrender, we don't want to hurt you any more than necessary!"

Nathan has had enough of these petty thugs and decends to stand next to Angel.

"Obviously there are two points of argument with my colleagues statement; what "we" all want, and what is necessary. What I want is probably to hurt all of you enough to create an impression that you remember, and I consider that to be totally necessary."

Sentry smiles as his eyes begin to glow

"I am willing to defer to my teammates though. What will it be?"

Why not put *all* of your points in Shooting into Focus? It makes sense to me that using a ranged Power would use Focus, since Focus is Power-related. In this context, it would represent the amount of control (aiming) he has over his power.

If Sentry were to pick up a V'Sori rifle and fire it, that would use Shooting, which is used for physical weapons, which you said in your previous post you don't use.

Like I said, it's really just a Skill name change.

Also, "Spirit" represents self-confidence and willpower, it's not religious in nature.

This makes total sense, and is also consistant with Sentry's upbringing: his parents would have been VERY clear about not using anything V'Sori ever. That it would be an insult to his heritage.

I'll do the re-org and also fix his Hindrances this afternoon :)

Sentry - I just noticed in the Supers book that energy attacks use a Focus roll, not Shooting. It's not a problem since both your associated Attributes have the same die value, it's just a name change.

But it IS the entire reason that Sentry has points in shooting; can he swap out some of those points to elevate Focus?

(No is a totally acceptable answer, but I wanted to ask. He will have practiced with Gamma Vision a LOT, he will probably never have handled a gun that he wasn't destroying)

Sorry - I feel like I missed something. Swoop in and engage?

Glad to have you back.

While waiting for a new assignment, we get word that the gang we prevented from getting the shipment of V'sori weapons has continued to cause problems in the neighborhood, hassling locals, etc. Meros encouraged us to tamp this down, so we've done a bit of recon and determined the gang is still using the same HQ.

Fortune and Angel have been monitoring the situation at the HQ (disguised as panhandling street people) and notified the rest when the gang was mostly at the place. Hellion rode up on her motorcycle with Fortune adding an illusion of the big SWAT-type goon riding behind to provide a bit of extra intimidation.

The gang member who answered the door was uncooperative and so Hellion slammed her helmet into the guy's gut and now a scrap is developing.

VeeSix hustled up to join the fight. Another gang member joined the fray. That's pretty much where we are now. Everyone is essentially a move away from the action (I believe), with those not mentioned above riding in the vehicle that is just around the corner.

@Everyone else: Correct me if I got anything wrong.

My only addition might be the addition ... of Sentry, but that may not actually be consequential at this point so the omission makes total sense.

Hadn't planned to engage until someone said it was time. Is it time?

Sounds good. Fortune will disguise herself as described earlier. They could walk around first and see if anyone hassles them. Then, if nothing, they can ask around to find out where the gang hangs out and locate their leader.

Do we have a profile of the people who are being targeted (other than 'weak'? Maybe we could dress up and/or act like that to see if we get picked on

"With love, I need to be honest, our culture doesn't have a long memory for much of anything at this point; there was a time in my early teens that it was hard for me to show up in public without being recognized, now though, a lot has changed. That said, in costume, I am already known, and happy to be the "poster hero" for a justice smackdown if that's what we need. My parents loved stuff like that."

"Why do we wish to hide our identities? They should know whom they have displeased."

"This is a good point, but we might do one better. We might do both. We might do "Good Cop, Less-Good Cop". It could be that some of you go in soft, plain clothes, make nice ... and then message me on comms when you want the dramatic fly-by. Even people who aren't all that familiar with me are familiar with my parents. You can even say something funny like, "Don't make him angry. You wouldn't like him when he's angry."

Sentry does kind of laugh at his own joke

"Then I can look at a car nearby, give it some Gamma Vision, make some noise, and we can leave."

"My parents told me this crazy story, like once upon a time no one had powers and everyone was carrying a weapon. I think maybe it was some kind of fable from our homeworld because it certainly couldn't be from Earth."

"Which behavior is that exactly? I'm all in for correcting bad manners though ..."

Sentry will be looking for a 'cool' bedroom ...

I've had a few bouts of food poisoning across the years, this was just intense, and tbh painful which was weird. Def on the mend though, thank you.

Enough to sit here and fire up savaged and copy out some data for sure.
Not sure if I need to do anything for gear, or Sentry can just have drinking money (or chip in for Chinese if he needs to)

THANK YOU - I think I'm through it, slept & ate like a normal person yesterday. I'll do my best catching up :)

Sorry Hellion, I literally wasn't well enough to sit at my desk.

Let me go to savaged and copy out my stats
No secrets, not even a secret identity

A red skinned woman in a tank top rolls out from under the van that can be seen just through a door on the other side of the room. "Rashomon you find those parts?"

She notices the new guy and gives a casual wave, "Yo new guy they'll get you all situated feel free to snag one of the free rooms!"

"We had a spare on the shelf, but it was the wrong model for this vehicle. I've taken it to the auto parts depot to exchange it for the correct one. In the meantime, I brought the degreaser and the valve sealant. I should be back with the part shortly; the clerk is in the back of the store fetching it now."

Listening to Sentry and Fortune talk, "Ah, so you are a Legacy being are you? I look forward to hearing more about you."

"I'm glad to be here, and I would really like to look around. This place is extraordinary; my parents used to talk about a base they had before our family happened."

Sentry gets a look, hard to place, but not quite sad

"There was a time when there was novelty and at least a little bit of fun being a 2nd generation hero, there were not a lot of us. At this point though, I'm not sure there are any others left. I want people to remember those times though, the time of heroes. I want the Vs to remember how afraid of us they are."

Evindyl - sorry to hear that. Take your time in getting back up to speed...

THANK YOU - I think I'm through it, slept & ate like a normal person yesterday. I'll do my best catching up :)

"I would so totally love to ... but I'd don't know if your base has healthcare, and it would be a shame to damage you when we've only just met."

The young man clearly smiles at his own joke, and looks back over his should to wink at Fortune as he walks a little further into the impressive space.

"To be fair though, I also come with a bunch of "son of" coverage back in the day, so the easy to find stuff is, well, easy to find. "The Son of Warden & Zephyr inherits power of flight!" "A bullet bounces off of The Son of Warden & Zephyr!" "X-Ray Vision!?!? The Son of Warden & Zephyr out-powers his parents!" At one point, it was a little much to be honest. So yeah, you first."

The base is an abandoned warehouse in an area full of them. While there is a front door, you use a side door whose view is blocked by another building. In the basement, there's a large tunnel big enough for the van that travels about a mile underground and comes out at an abandoned part of town (think of the sliding wall advertisement from the old Green Hornet TV show, if you ever saw that - click HERE for a brief video of it).

The lair specs in Campaign Info came from the SWD version of Supers, where you had so many "points" to put features into the lair. I don't like the SWADE Supers version of lair-building, so I kept the old one.

Sentry - could you please copy your PC build to your PC's link's Profile? Thanks!

So sorry! I think I thought I did that for BOTH Sentrys, but it seems I did not. Will take care of it later this afternoon.

For the briefest of moments, Setry's eyes flash. He shakes off what looks like confusion, holds out his hand to VeeSix and says, "I'm not sure I even know what a penguin IS; but I was home schooled, so there's a lot I don't know about this world. Pleasure to meet you Mr. Six, Ms Angel."

Thanks for pointing that out. I hadn't thought to look there.

I'd still like some kind of description about what it appears to be from the outside, how we enter and leave, particularly if we don't want bystanders to see us come and go, etc.

Completely agree - glad to write in that there's a "doorbell" but having a base is definately a thing, a cool one. Some of my favorite scene's from Titans are in their huge condo in San Francisco.

He walked. He walked several blocks, which was something he became more and more used to after the attack. Fly somewhere, land out of sight, put on a trench coat, act like you were normal. It sucked. When his parents trained him, they never conceived of this. That ended. Ended quite some time ago.

Quite some time ago for someone who just turned 20; maybe for much older people it seemed like a shorter time. Not for Sentry. For Sentry, it felt like he had lived without his parents a whole lifetime. Warden & Zephyr symbolized iconic heroism, not simply for the pursuit of justice, but also for the pursuit of legacy, for having had a son; for actually having created a succession that the whole world kept its eye on at one point. Until the V’s vaporized them.

So he walked. He landed several blocks from where Meros told him to meet the heroes. There hadn’t seemed to be a lot of activity when he scouted from the sky, and when he focused, he didn’t seem to hear anything either; all of which could mean the team was on the assignment they’d been given. It would probably be just as well to case the place, see if it had a doorbell, or if maybe he was supposed to knock on a window or something.

What he found looked like an old school intercom, functioned like a comm panel, and blended in so well only someone like himself would have found it: ”Hey, uh, my name is Sentry. I’m here about the fish. The dolphins. They fly by night … “ Hopefully that did the trick. His instructions didn’t say to act or sound like a total gooner, so deviating from the vintage vid format seemed okay. Taking a deep breath and intoning “the password I was given is …” would be way over the top and way too Downton Abbey. No sense having everyone think he was lame right at the get go.
