What Would Your Hero Do?

My scrappers: Teleport out (didnt see anything on anti teleport device)

My Tank: Try to smash his way out (most likely will die from the bomb)

My Blasters : Shoot themselves in the foot and hope you come over to see whats going on then blaster you (if they have their guns)

Defender: Use EMP Arrow (if he has his bow and arrows if not then he's screwed)

Warshade: Try to shapeshift out if that doesnt work bash out and most likely die)

Stalkers: Cloak and wait for you to open the door if you ever do come

(Not all my toons have teleport but some kicking the buck would still be funny plus not all are that smart.)

I shall assume that while you have removed Adeon's power armor it is stored on the premises.

In that case he would use his implanted radio to establish communications with the suit on the premises and use the more powerful radio in it to call in his two spare suits of power armor and his own bot squad as a divisionary assault (ok, the AI is somewhat limited in automatic mode, but it will suffice for a diversion). While you're distracted he'll order the suit on the premises to use it's emergency teleportation system to relocate to his location. At that point he is armed and armored and your base is under attack. All three suits have access to some combination of weapons sufficient to blow a hole in the wall with the window at which point it's a simple matter of linking up with the bots and automated suits and getting out of there.

I'm still quite insulted that you would think I would be outwitted by logic. Yes, I am a machine, but bloody Hell I'm also as simple minded and complacent as many of you fleshbags at times.

My Warshade wouldn't worry about simple things like being imprisoned. If she woke up in that situation, she'd phase through the bars since it appears you didn't consider being phase shifted. She'd then stealth the way out, but if the neurotoxin comes out, she'll change into either nova form or dwarf form, since they can live on no air. She'd fight her way out afterwards, if she got 'detected'.
She'd fight her way to your inner sanctum and then try to have you work under her. If you refuse, you die. If you accept, you live a little longer.

My mind/kin would go about business as normal, as she's simply convinced you that you've captured her without having actually done so.

Barring that abuse of godmoding, she'd make a small hole in the floor and mentally command the monster below and making it help her.

If that's not in the rules, i could cast Increase Density on the bars until they become too heavy to support their own weight and fall over. Though I guess ID doesn't work like that...?

I guess I could just use my telekinetic abilities to pick the lock or remove the door from its hinges.

Anyway, that's only the first part dealt with. Though even as a Mind Controller, i rarely have trouble using my powers on robots (in-game, anyway). Assuming that a mental assault or confusion wouldn't work, I'd make sure to siphon speed one, and weave through and between the robots and make them hit one another with their own attacks. Simple enough.

As for the tripwires? I'd just hover and avoid them. Assuming that the friggin lasers are invisible and I've no idea that they're there, i'd just get out of the main area ASAP once i see the gas coming.

As for YOU? Well, in-game, it'd be a simple matter of using Mass Confusion, or Mass Hypnosis and sneaking by in the chaos. But let's assume that robots are not susceptible to the weaknesses of an organic mind. Repel could still be used to knock your goons around while I take you mano-a-roboto. Though you might have repulsion feild, keeping me at bay and negating my ability to get into melee to knock your goons around with Repel.

Still, TK could keep your goons pinned. I'd just spam transfusion and transference to make you run out of endurance, making your toggle-shields drop. Easy pickings from there.

Professor Aether would teleport back to WW Steel Canyon. There is Inf. to be made and nobody can stop it! You could of course capture him from there again. He's usually very interested in the market interface and can be a bit oblivious to his surroundings. Except for the idiots rocking auras. And the pet parties.

Of course he will just teleport back to WW.

You would eventually get tired of it and pick on somebody else.

Marhiel checks to see her purse is still there, which of course it is since it is a tiny purse and pocket dimension, She fiddles in her purse until she pulls out her blade, she says a few protection spells (disabling any local technology), and then proceeds to hack the metal to shreds. She then looks carefully to be sure she is unseen dials her office phone number from her cell phone which is also always in her purse of pink doom. She quietly waits in the shadows waiting quietly studying the design strengths and weakness, she will then proceed to make her way to the roof where she will hitch a ride from her company helicopter and wait for the rest of the team to invade the secrete lab.

My other Mains would be more direct, Tiburon (MM) now a hero, would break out of the cell find his armor call his troops and proceed to try and not kill everything in the building.

Whats a few bombs to a Imperial Inquisitor from several tens of thousands of year in the future.


Irken would be stuck in the cell, until his pet robot decides to do something about it. which could be weeks.


Malkavian Who : would traverse the dimensions and appear outside of the cell. he/she/it would have an argument with itself of what to do next, when a decision is made it could involve just leaving Shifting in to the shape of someone you know and trust, or going berserk and killing everyone. (malk is barely holding on to ‘being a Hero’ )

I give you Snaerr, an ice-mage (Ice/Ice blaster Magic origin) with little skill to his name, other than flying, mystical Sight and half-decent Glamours.

(Also an extensive knowledge of the occult, but obviously in such a technologically-extensive setting that doesn't do a whole lot)

STEP ONE: Very carefully analyze the floor of my prison for the slightest flaws. Granted, this will not allow me to break the bars- I am, after all, a squishy wizard, and it is very tough- but it will allow me to proceed to...

STEP TWO- Begin to form ice in the flaws, then allow it to continually melt and refreeze, causing frost wedging. This will begin to weaken the floor, though still not sufficient to allow me to break them.

STEP FOUR- Lower the temperature of the floor as low as I am capable of- low enough, for instance, to make the material far more brittle, and thus vulnerable to-

STEP FIVE- Fly into the air, then send the biggest damn ice-bolt I can manage at the floor as hard as I can.

STEP SIX- Freeze the explosive devices in ice before they can explode- This would likely require intense timing, but it is within my theoretical limits. If possible, defuse the explosives before they can be reactivated. Rest and regain strength.

STEP SEVEN- Attempt to form allegiance with the prisoner in the cell below me. If successful, I have an ally, if not, I shall simply have to ensure he is not harmed in my escape attempt. If he attempts to attack me, I will simply have to overpower him through main force. It will be time consuming, but I believe that my control capabilities will be sufficient to overcome his regenerative capacity and render him non-hostile. If he causes damage too extensive, I suppose I won't be able to carry him out with me when I leave, as I am not a very physical person. Oh, well. If necessary, rest and regain my strength.

STEP EIGHT- Repeat the above process on the ceiling of my cell, creating an ice shield to protect against falling debris. Rest and regain my strength once again, then fly out of the cell, bringing the other prisoner with me if possible.

STEP NINE- Encase the attacking automatons in ice. The automatons have no heat based weaonry, aside from the missiles, and attempting to utilize the missile weaponry would obviously be a critical error on their part when the launcher is encased in ice. If the automatons cannot be contained at length in the ice, simply refreeze them and face them one at a time per standard combat tactics. This is when my fellow prisoner will be the most useful as an asset, and is of course to be kept alive at all costs. If necessary, use explosives recovered earlier in the encounter as a weapon. Rest and regain my strength.

STEP TEN- Blast through the floor above us via the previously mentioned process. Rest and regain my strength.

STEP ELEVEN- Bring my fellow prisoner to the main floor if possible. If not, simply fly to the above floor myself.

STEP TWELVE- Fly down the hallway, grab rebreather system. As my own metabolism works at unpredictable speeds and my compatriot has regenerative capabilities, we can take turns at the rebreather if necessary, on the assumption that the neurotoxin will not work at full effectiveness. If my system does succumb to the neurotoxin, I will at least have given my fellow prisoner a chance to escape that he would otherwise not have had.

STEP THIRTEEN- Locate the exit, and confront the Artificial Intelligence.

STEP FOURTEEN- Summon a Blizzard. The effects of the blizzard will considerably slow the movements of the mastermind's mechanical army, allowing us time to escape

STEP FIFTEEN- Flee. Like a boss.
