4/17/13: Casino Flashback
PARTICIPANTS: BANE, MANTIS, JURGEN, ZEPHYR
Bane and Mantis called in Jurgen and Zephyr to help investigate the Jacoby suite in the Lyonne hotel. Bane and Zephyr flew up the outside of the building to the 52d floor to scope out the situation. When they peered in, they saw a dead guard pinned against the window with his throat slashed. Zephyr quickly went to the window to see more, and spied another corpse on the floor, also slashed. She spotted a razor sharp playing card in one of the wounds.
Bane called down to Mantis and Jurgen to alert them that something was up, and Mantis said for everyone to meet on the roof. Once there, Jurgen found an air shaft in an architectural gargoyle, and as he was pulling of the grate, the team heard gunfire from within. Mantis said he was going in, and that the others should run down and come up the elevator shaft. Bane and Jurgen headed down, while Zephyr hovered in the sky at roof level, keeping watch through the windows for disturbances.
Mantis dispersed down through the roof into the 54th floor, and heard whimpering from the bedroom beyond where the force field was the last time Mantis was here. He ran into the room (noting the absence of a force field now), and found along the way more slaughtered guards. When he arrived in the room, he saw the shimmering after-image of a blue portal disappearing before him. He found more dead guards in the bedroom, along with a decapitated Ingram, and the decrepid invalid Jonathan Jacoby whimpering in his bed for someone to tell him what happened.
Bane, Jurgen and Zephyr joined Mantis in the bedroom, and the four investigated for clues as to what had occurred. Eventually, Mantis, while attempting to reactivate the head of the Ingram android, spied a small hidden camera across the room, that he figured would have captured whatever occurred. The team found the security room, and Bane managed to activate the camera playback, and AlertForce watched in amazement as the scene unfolded on the small screen before them. What they saw was Casino, NOMAD and the Joker materialize on the 53d floor, and Casino slaugtering all of the guards relentlessly and ruthlessly, using her sharpened playing cards as both daggers and darts. When the three made it into Jacoby's bedroom, Casino decapitated Ingram with one fluid motion, before he could even speak. NOMAD then attached a small computer he was carrying to the head of the Ingram android, and he and Joker watched as information (apparently regaring UMI) passed over the screen. Judging by their reactions, NOMAD and Joker were apparently stunned by what they saw on the screen. NOMAD commented with surprise as to how things had "gotten this far" and "how they had not been detected."
While the security screen was not large enough for AlertForce to discern exactly what data NOMAD and Joker were viewing, Mantis commented that he believed that with video enhancement, the image might be restored.
Meanwhile, Bane was checking the many guards, and actually found two still alive. While she summoned paramedics to help them, Mantis rifled the room and found financial records for Jacoby. Mantis quickly fashioned some documents transferring ownership of STAR LABS to himself, and forced Jacoby to scribble his signature. He then summoned CIA agents and directed them to obliterate the crime scene before police arrived, which they set about doing, as AlertForce departed with Jacoby, whom they deposited in a local hospital, before leaving Las Vegas.
