4/19/13: Loose Lips and Jokers sink ships

PARTICIPANTS (GREEN LANTERN, MANTIS, LOUP GAROU, BANE [KIND OF])

Green Lantern, Mantis and Loup discussed the recent revelations about the extent of the UMI threat. They devised a plan for Loup to travel to Portland, ORE to attempt to gather the scent and pick up the trail of some of the missing STAR LABS equipment. GL and Mantis would go to the port of San Diego and attempt to follow some of the other shipments of STAR LABS material, which was apparently appropriated by UMI through Ulysses Ingram's sales of certain STAR LABS divisions, which were discovered by the Mantis.

Loup successfully found and gathered the scent trail of the equipment that passed through Portland.

Meanwhile, Mantis and GL found information at San Diego regarding the travel paths of four ships onto which other STAR LABS cargo was apparently loaded. They followed one ship, called the Bogus, and found it approximately 400 miles out into the Pacific. GL approached from underwater while Mantis went invisible and boarded the vessel to locate the STAR LABS cargo. While he was searching, GL spotted a large dark shape approaching underwater, and was surprised to see a purple submarine firing torpedos at the cargo ship. Before he could react, one of the torpedoes struck the Bogus and dealt serious damage. Mantis located the STAR LABS cargo just as the Bogus began to sink. Quick work by GL and Mantis save both the STAR LABS cargo and the Bogus' crew.

As the Bogus slipped beneath the waves, Mantis and GL had a confab with the Joker and NOMAD, who had brought their submarine to the surface. They arranged an uneasy truce and cooperation agreement between AlertForce and the remnants of the DOA, to face the UMI threat.
