4/24/13: O Canada

PARTICIPANTS: LOUP GAROU, MANTIS, BANE

Bane continued following the convoy of trucks through the Canadian countryside, until it reached a campus of buildings inside a fence, and the trucks pulled in and parked. She returned in her aircar to the train station, and used a land line telephone to call Joe at AlertForce Mansion. After several miscommunications with Joe as to the appropriate level of secrecy on an open telephone line, she managed to instruct him to call Mantis and Loup and tell them she was at the location they had sent her to, awaiting assistance.

Mantis and Loup eventually got the message and joined her there. The three of them flew in the aircar back to the remote site, where Bane strayed slightly too close with the aircar, and penetrated an invisible force barrier, which dactivated the car's engine. The three occupants quickly abandoned the car, and it crashed to earth, in a heap.

Mantis, Bane and Loup then crossed the fence and used stealth to examine, the disable, the contents of the trucks. A security guard appeared in the area, and was quickly disabled. Bane took his keycard and assumed his visage, and went to the warehouse door. Using the keycard, she opened the door, and noticed a moment too late that the door and a scanning plate just above the knob, that she had touched, setting off alarms. As she entered, she was confronted by two constructs, and the sound of several more approaching. Mantis knocked the constructs down, giving Bane time to point and fire the Vision's disabling device, incapacitating the two constructs, after which the sounds of the others approaching quickly faded, and it became apparent on inspection of the premises, that they had ported away.

Instead of retreating, they team decided to use the disabling device on all of the stored crates in the warehouse. During this process (much to Bane's chagrin) approximately 50 constructs appeared and attacked. A short, desperate battle ensued, in which all three teammates were riddled with laser fire. Their toughness saw them through, however, and the three were able to get out a window before the second volley finished them off.

Loup poured on the speed, and for the first time in anyone's memory, outstripped Mantis by a long shot. Mantis later explained that Bane hanging on his back was messing with his aerodynamic profile. The three teammates beat a hasty retreat, all the way to AlertForce Mansion, where they conferred with Zephyr.

AWARD: 5hp, Zephyr 1
