The Avengers of Justice--new static team on Virtue

If MX-7 is around youll be able to do a tank/blaster duo...
Those are usually very effective/fun/good xps

I'm cool with you guys finishing the TF and Me and Doc can work on a "side" mission or something.

I wonder if Perdix/ I C wassisname will be there...

It’s IC Touch, that’s my name don’t ware it out. Yep that’s right I said it.

Well my friends where to start, I come from a very large family, to many brothers to name, no sisters as of yet.
I am a twin, fraternal not identical. I can control ice, pull moisture out of the air and freeze things, very sweet let me tell you, I can also heal, not as spectacular, but helpful non the less. A little about my twin brother, Vigatorus, he thinks he is so awesome with his fire imps, and his fire manipulation, he thinks that he is all that, and he can heal too, whatever. Like I always say he might have got the looks, but I got the cool.
As for the identity and location of my parents, we don’t have a clue. Our oldest brother Perdix III, we think he is named after our father, but who knows, maybe it is some joke, he has always been there for all of us growing up. Keeping us safe and feed and out of most trouble, I still managed to find some, but without him we all would be nothing but a big pile of dead.
Well that’s it that is my sob story. Take it or leave it. I don’t care. I’m off to find me some pretty girl to save. The pretty ones are always so thankful, if you know what I mean.
Chill

I am ok with doing whatever tonight.

Pleased to announce we completed the Sister Psyche TF and defeated Clamor with relative ease. Very smooth run. I C Touch has been an awesome addition!

The plan is to pick up next week by beginning the Citadel TF next Tuesday at 7pm. Looking forward to it and see you then!

P.S.--Try to confirm whether you can make it or not before next Tuesday. Also, most of us finished the TF just short of 26. I think Liberty and Lightson might do just enough to reach 26 before next Tuesday.

Okay, I decided to break away from the typical synopsis of the previous TF/mission and write an issue focusing on Blind Justice's departure . . .

VII. Issue Seven: Injustice is Served . . .

For the eyes of Countess Crey only

. . . has been keeping an increasingly high profile. Of particular note is the role he and his teammates played in thwarting a multi-faceted plot to sabotage the Paragon City Dam. As an aside, we believe that many of his teammates are individuals of interest to us. Our background investigation on these “Avengers of Justice” continues. For example . . . .

Regardless, we know this particular hero is a scientist who refused to grant us full access to his technological breakthroughs . . .

. . . . proper circumstances, he represents a threat that must be eliminated. However, he seems unaware we still possess schematics for his original prototype. Under the proper circumstances this could be exploited. Assuming his current models have not been significantly upgraded, several opportunities for sabotage exist . . .

. . . in short, my exalted Countess, all that remains is to lure them into the trap.


September 17, 2008
From the computer files of Dr. Chad Wyric:

. . . after successfully assisting Positron, we were almost immediately recruited by Synapse. With relative ease, we were able to thwart the plans of the Clockwork King and his army of robots. I see now, these victories made us overconfident, careless . . .

. . . obviously Crey had been plotting the attack for weeks. Nonetheless, despite my insider position, I didn’t even hear a whisper of it until it was too late. . . .

. . . the continuing investigation into Crey has been a welcome–if fruitless–distraction. I have been cross-referencing the information provided by Positron and Synapse. Although helpful, the insights they provided into Crey have not provided any concrete leads. This lack of leads to pursue has the entire team frustrated. Crey has made it more personal than it already was . . .

. . . this new assignment from Sister Psyche. I question whether we are ready for this, but Lightson thinks it is best for us to stay active. Need to datamine Crey files for any info on Freakshow before we hit the field . . .

September 10, 2008
Official personnel action, PPD
Desk of Helen Ambriel

. . . officially your use of the “Directrix” alias violates PPD policy. However, your recent victory over the Clockwork King convinces us that your activities, while sanctionable, also present a unique opportunity . . . .

. . . public relations strategy that could be developed around a young female super hero associated with the PPD. Therefore, you are instructed to carry on . . .

. . . costume, however, needs to generate a higher profile. Effective immediately, all activities you engage in as “The Directrix” or with the “Avengers of Justice” shall require the use of a PPD issued uniform. . . .

. . . no suspension, at this time. You must be advised, however, that future violations could result in a suspension . . .

Solar Tech: Computer run encryption diagnostic on battle suit model 1.015.

Computer: Affirmative. Encryption online. No unauthorized access detected.

Solar Tech: Re-route an additional 5% power to encryption systems and run the diagnostic again.

Computer: Manual re-allocation of power resources could lead to failure of critical systems under combat conditions. Do you wish to proceed?

Solar Tech: We aren’t in a combat situation right now, are we? This is what this lab is for. NOW RUN IT AGAIN!!

Computer: Affirmative. Encryption online. No unauthorized access detected.

Solar Tech: Computer, cross reference combat files of battle suit model 1.001. Date of reference, September 16, 2008, time approximately 9:30 p.m.

Computer: Files cross referenced. Data report?

Solar Tech: Yes, calculate probability that unauthorized access could be obtained to battle suit model 1.015 under situation present in the cross referenced combat files.

Computer: Affirmative. Calculating. . . .Probability 0.000001%.

Solar Tech: THAT’S NOT GOOD ENOUGH!!

In exasperation, Steward Fritz threw a wrench against the wall and then slumped to the floor. He was choking back tears. If only he had made these adjustments earlier, maybe he would still . . .

Solar Tech: Computer, initiate clean self-destruct of battle suit model 1.015. Upon completion of self-destruct recycle materials for incorporation into battle suit model 1.016. Create a new schematic file for me. Design emphasis on further reducing probability of unauthorized access . . .

Burnt Sacrifice spoke into his global comm, “Sorry again for having to run off so quickly after the Synapse caper, Lightson, but the sisters need my help on this relief mission. I figure I can do just as much good helping hurricane victims as I can smashing Clockwork into pieces.”

“No problem Burnt Sacrifice, hopefully things will quiet down now that we’ve stopped Babbage and the Clockwork King. You did great work yesterday. What you’re doing for those hurricane victims is just as important. We’ll hold down the fort for you in Paragon City until you return. Safe travels my friend”

“Will do. Thanks again Lightson.”

September 12, 2008

“Here comes the boom!!” Mutant X-7 exclaimed as he zapped the last Hellion with electricity. He was glad he and Solar Tech were finally getting some action after a relatively slow night of patrolling. Suddenly, he sensed a momentary electrical pulse. Thinking some unseen assailant had attacked his teammate, he called out “You okay Solar Tech?”

“Yeah, everything seems to be fine now. Temporary energy flux. Weirdest thing. My battle suit went offline for a split-second, too. Computer: run diagnostic . . .”

“Huh. Who knows, could’ve been anything. Oh well.” Mutant X-7 turned to the young lady that the Hellions were trying to mug. “Here’s your purse back ma’am . . .”

“You never mentioned these visions before,” Elizabeth Moore said as she looked into her teammate’s eyes. No, he was more than a teammate. Since the Avengers of Justice had formed, she and Bryson Walker had become confidants. Perhaps they would become even more . . .

“No. I had to make sure I wasn’t crazy first. But now I’m pretty convinced. I’m just learning the full scope of my powers. These dreams, these visions, sometimes they let me see the future. Sometimes I know what the team is going to be doing before it actually happens. Its always hazy, but I can get a general sense anyway.”

“So why were you so disturbed by this vision that you asked me to meet you for lunch?” Elizabeth asked.

“Because, Elizabeth, I have the feeling that something awful is going to happen. Tonight.”

Crey Intraoffice Memo
Re: Operation: Remote Access

. . . authorization granted to initiate Operation: Remote Access. Primary objective is to maximize casualties . . .

. . . on a personal note, I want the victims to know that Crey did this, but ultimately–of course–the public cannot trace this back to us . . .

September 16, 2008
9:20 p.m.

“Sister Psyche, I think we will be able to help you out. We appreciate your trust in us, we are on our way to Independence Port so we all can discuss this matter in person” Lightson spoke into his Global Comm.

Suddenly an APB rang out over The Directrix’s police scanner. She turned down the volume, and then summarized the bulletin for the team. “You won’t believe this, but the PPD just interrupted a drug deal involving a gang of Freakshow. Although the Freakshow made off with most of the drugs, a small sample was recovered and tested. It’s a perfect match for the chemical that started the Rivera outbreak. The Freakshow were last seen heading into the sewers.”

“Sister Psyche, cancel that, something pressing just arose here. I’ll contact you again after we’ve taken care of it,” Lightson said. “Okay team this might be the break on Crey we’ve been waiting for. I wish we were at full strength for this, but we’ll just have to head in without Burnt Sacrifice.”

Not long thereafter, the team arrived in the sewers.

“My Smart Suit detects two humanoids running about 50 meters to the north,” Blind Justice noted.

Soon, the Avengers of Justice caught up with the two Freakshow thugs. Upon sighting the heroes, the criminals exclaimed “We surrender!!” in unison.

“Something about this doesn’t add up,” Doc Midnight said “its too easy.”

“Uh guys,” Solar Tech observed, “my battle suit is telling me these guys aren’t Freakshow at all. Not even human. They’re robots . . .”

“Odd, I’m detecting that same energy field again, what is that?” Mutant X-7 muttered to himself.

Suddenly, the two synthetic Freakshow both warbled in a robotic monotone: “Self Destruct Initiated.” Seconds later, both robots exploded, sending shrapnel everywhere.

“Is everyone alright!!??” Lightson shouted.

As Solar Tech struggled to his feet, he noticed his battle suit was somewhat unresponsive. When he was finally able to stand up, the following message was repeated over and over on his HUD: “Long Live Countess Crey!!”

“What the . . .” Solar Tech remarked, “Oh no . . . guys get clear of me NOW!!”

It was too late. Solar Tech was no longer in control of his battle suit: Crey was. Instantly, lethal levels of solar energy poured down on his teammates in a rain of fire. Taken by surprise, The Directrix and Mutant X-7 were rendered unconscious almost immediately.

“Guys, run!! I’m not in control, someone’s hacked into my suit . . .” Solar Tech pleaded.

“Sorry about this Solar, it’s the only thing I can think of,” Blind Justice yelled as he aimed one of his trick arrows at Solar Tech. The arrow exploded and then entangled Solar Tech in a flame resistant net. Seconds afterward, the net began to secrete a fire extinguishing foam. “That will slow him down, but not for long.”

“Blind, get over there and see if you and Solar can figure something out!!” Lightson ordered.

Because they had worked together so frequently, both with Avengers of Justice and as a duo, Blind Justice generally understood how Solar Tech’s battle suit worked. Of course, it didn’t hurt that Ian was also an engineering genius himself.

“There,” Blind Justice remarked as he pulled a fuse out of Solar Tech’s back apparatus, “That should take his offensive systems offline for a minute or two.”

Just then, a low hum filled the room.

“That’s my teleporter–the one I use to get us to the hospital in emergencies,” Solar Tech explained. “What are they up to now?”

In answer to Solar Tech’s question, a horde of Clockwork was teleported into the same room as the Avengers of Justice. And then a group of Vazhilok. And Circle of Thorns. And Hellions. And Skulls. And virtually every villain of note the Avengers of Justice had ever defeated. The room seemed to burst at the seams with evil.

“Doc, Liberty, grab the wounded and fall back into the corridor behind us. Blind, help Solar,” Lightson ordered in desperation.

The Avengers of Justice retreated into the adjacent corridor before all the villains got their bearings. Lightson created a force field at the doorway.

“That won’t hold them for long. Doc, Liberty: make your stand here. Try to create a choke point so we don’t get overwhelmed. I’ll cover your back. Have The Directrix and Mutant X-7 awakened yet?” Lightson tried to keep his composure in what seemed to be a hopeless situation.

“No. They’re still down for the count.” Liberty-Flame answered.

“Get them out of the way. Blind, you and Solar stay back and try to fix Solar’s battle suit. Try to get his med-evac teleporter under control again. We’ve got to get out of here.” Lightson commanded.

“Here they come!!” Doc Midnight yelled as the entire horde of villains charged at the doorway.

“JUSTICE IS SERVED!!!” Doc Midnight, Liberty-Flame and Lightson yelled in unison.

“Its Crey, somehow they figured out a way to hack into my battle suit.” Solar Tech said to Blind Justice. “I initiated a manual hard reboot, reconfigured my encryption logarithms. Systems are coming back online one by one, but I’m still waiting for the teleporter to power back up. All this is putting an incredible strain on my batteries, I’ve probably only got enough juice for one jump.”

Second by agonizing second passed, until finally Solar Tech added, “There!! Okay, hold on gang, I’m teleporting us all out of here!! 3 . . .2 . . .1"

Nothing happened.

“Blast it!! When I kicked them out of my systems, they automatically jammed every teleport frequency. Nobody’s teleporting in or out of here. We’re trapped,” Solar Tech explained.

Blind Justice looked around. Two of his allies were unconscious. Solar was conscious, but his battle suit was essentially incapacitated. The remaining four heroes–including himself–would have to take on literally hundreds of villains. And some of those villains were individually powerful enough to challenge the Avengers of Justice even when the team was at full strength. The situation was hopeless. Crey had them. They were going to die down here.

“Solar, what about a short range jump? Within the sewers? Are they blocking that? ” Blind Justice asked.

“Hmm, let me check. Hey, how about that, they’re not trying to jam any jumps within the sewers, just jumps in or jumps out. Maybe that’s to ensure their own escape, who knows . . . Anyway, yes, I could probably pull off one very short range jump within the sewers, but how does that help us? A one shot jump that short isn’t going to give us any tactical advantage . . . ” Solar Tech replied.

Blind Justice knew what he had to do. “Give me manual control of your teleporter, Solar. My Smart Suit has located an escape route–we could reach this access hatch before the bad guys ever notice we’re missing–but it will have to be a ‘port within pinpoint accuracy. The escape hatch is in a very confined area. I need to take this shot, not you. ”

“Sure Blind, here you go.” Solar Tech answered as he handed Blind Justice a datapad connected to his battle suit. Something was wrong. Blind Justice was an awful liar and he was obviously hiding something.

“Doc, Liberty, Lightson–I need you to back away for the doorway for this to work. Fall back!” Blind Justice proclaimed.

Then Solar Tech understood. “Blind, I know you haven’t found any escape route. I know what you’re going to do. Don’t. There’s got to be another way. Give me that datapad back.”

“Sorry friend, we’re in a tight spot, and I don’t think there is another way. There’s no time to come up with something, even for geniuses like us. Bring Crey to justice for me. Tell the others, thanks for everything. This is the greatest team I’ve ever been a part of.” With that, Blind Justice teleported himself, and only himself, right into the middle of the villain horde.

“BLIND!! NO!!!” Solar Tech cried out.

Before the army of villains swarmed him. Blind Justice shot two explosive arrows at the doorway his teammates had just backed away from. The explosion brought the entire archway down, closing the corridor with rubble and debris. He was now isolated from his teammates, while they were safe on the other side.

“JUSTICE IS SERVED!!” were Blind Justice’s last words–or at least the last words audible before every sound was drowned out by the din created when the army of villains descended upon him.

From the personal journal of Bryson Walker

I knew being a hero wouldn’t be easy, but I didn’t expect this . . .

I failed them, failed him, I should have seen this coming . . .

. . . we must keep fighting the fight. Sister Psyche says she has a task for us, but understands if we aren’t up to it now. I’ve told the team we must press onward despite our sorrow. If we were to quit now, it would be a victory for Crey. We must honor Ian by putting an end to Crey, once and for all. We must honor Ian by fighting injustice wherever we find it. We must honor Ian by serving justice, even to our dying breath.

OH NO!!! MY SUIT!!! USED FOR EVIL!!! NEVER AGAIN!!!

Unfortunately guys I am going to have to bid farewell to the static team. my work schedule has shifted to a rather unpredictable time frame for the future . I have enjoyed teaming with all of you and wish you continued success in the quest for Justice.

Doc, we will miss you greatly, although I understand that real life stuff comes up which can limit our gaming fun. Sorry to hear about your schedule change--hope it works out okay. Feel free to join us anytime you happen to know you will be available.

Everyone else--although Doc was a great tank, I think we will be able to run the TF's without one. If everyone else is still okay with pressing onward I think it will still work. Think about whether you know of anyone who might want to fill in for Doc's slot on the team.

While you're at it, will everyone else confirm whether they will be there tonight to start the Citadel TF at 7pm?

Lightson and Liberty Flame will be there.

I'll be there.

Sorry to see you go Doc.
I will be there tonight.
Also on a side note, is anyone interested in getting a voice chat system up and running for the team. We had one last time I did this with Doc and Datguy, it was a blast.
Let me know what you all think about it tonight.

I wouldn't mind rolling up a new tank (or transferring my wp/nrg (he's 38 on liberty, but I could move him over). If I make a new tank, then it may take a little while since He'd need to catch up, but if we want to put off a task force for a week (or 2) I could probably catch up being sk'd.

Also mutie is still in the low 20s i believe, so I don't think he could make the tf tonite anyway
I can probably get a tank up to lvl 10 tonite when I get done with work, then see where we're at. I doubt I could get mutie to 25 in time for the tf.

Of course you are free to do whatever you like, but my preference would be that you just continue to be Mutant X-7. With all the buffs we can put on Liberty-Flame, I think she will suffice on any occasions in which we absolutely MUST have a tank. That's just my two influence though, if you are really hankering to roll a tank, go for it.

With regard to Mutie not being 25 yet, we can set aside Citadel for tonight and do some leveling instead. Why don't we consider the following plan:

*Run radio/safeguard mishes in Talos until everyone is level 25

* If time permits, run the Flashback mission "Rescue the Fortune Teller" (Lightson and Liberty both have 'boros portal). This will get everyone their 'boros portal and also a badge that is required for the Atlas Medallion accolade.

* Plan to start Citadel TF next week.

Please share your thoughts on this.

Directrix is up for it. Really not too picky

Total bummer about doc. But I know how it is. I had the same situation happen to me on our last static team. Later dude. see ya in another life!

It would be totally cool If we could set up voice chat again. It really makes things more fun. It makes comunication so much easier and ups the level of teamwork. all you need is a microphone and a few minutes to download skype and we could have a team comm system!

With regards to MX-7:
Dont make a tank. Your not even keeping up with your main guy. I could go on, but Ill just restrict myself to this:

Anyway, Solar-Tech is ready for tonight and will be there with batteries fully charged.

I will see how far I can get a tank up when I'm done with work. I've got 2.5 hours before we're ready to go. If I can get to at least lvl 10 in that time, then I may look to sk up for Talos. If I can't get to at least 20ish tonite, I can probably squeeze out another 5 levels in the next week.
I'm a little blaster'd out. Made a Fire/MM that I've been addicted to on Liberty, I may need something to change pace.
As long as I can get the tank to 21 by the weekend I can get up to Citadel level by Tues. I've got a story planned out for the tank, and Mutie can be MIA due to the injuries suffered during Blynd's Departure.

I can also move my WP/Nrg tank over, he's lvl 38 and can zemp til everyone's caught up. Since he's currently not getting any play time.

Solar-Tech MIGHT be late and/or miss some of tomorrow's team up. But whatever my schedule ends up, I SHOULD be able to logg in at start time (maybe a few minutes late) to at least be in group when you start TF (if thats the plan). That way I wont miss much and will be in group when im able to play. Sorry about the uncertainty, Im starting a new work-from-home job.

Much as I hate to suggest this, but it seems as though the static team may have run its course (at least on this date/time).

So far, we have officially lost Blind Justice and Doc Midnight. Although he hasn't offically left, Burnt Sacrifice has not shown up in several weeks and is not responding to my PM's. On top of that, Solar Tech's participation will be limited since he is now working from home. Finally, even among the people who haven't left it seems like we have an increasing number of conflicts every week (which, I understand of course, stuff happens).

I PM'ed several people about filling the empty slots. They either declined or didn't respond.

Bottom line, with the addition of IC Touch we have six people--one of whom is uncertain of his ability to fully participate. That would put us at five, at best, assuming no other conflicts.

I welcome any thoughts/suggestions, but since we will really only five people at best at week, I'm starting to doubt that we will be able to complete the remaining TF's.

Let me know what you think.

I guess my thought is, what is the problem with looking for a few people to fill in outside the core group. I think we can find some people to help us run TF when we want to run them.
What about running contact missions?
I think we have a core group of people that if we stick together we can continue this, I really hate to just give up on this.

We should be good to continue the group as usual as long as we dont lose to many more. maybe a new recruit or 2 to get us back up to 8?

My new work will allow me to set my own schedule, but today is my first day and the only time available turns out to be during our session. normally i would have the time slots open, just not today . However I can still log in and join the TF team at the begining so im in group for when Im available after work. Unfortunately I would only be able to really play about the last half hour. but thats only todays schedule.

Let me know what were doing and if I should be online to join the TF team at start, ok?

Let me preface this with saying that I am hooked and really look forward to logging in every Tuesday night for this team.

That said, if any of us aren't really feeling it anymore you should feel free to speak up. I'd rather have it fall apart sooner than have it drag out with people just feeling obligated or feeling like they need to make excuses.

It's been a lot of fun and I would think that there has to be someone interested in coming in to fill up the gaps. If that happens then that would be ideal, I think. Maybe instead of PMs or in-game we should go back to the Announcement forum and ask for two or three new recruits?

In any case, I'll be there tonight ready to go. Hope to see you all there!
