Daily Logs 2006 - Present
4/26/13: HOMECOMING
PARTICIPANTS: ZEPHYR, SCOTSMAN, BANE, LOUP, MANTIS, SNOW ANGEL (NPC)
The Scotsman, while walking to work, was suddenly stunned to see a giant dirigable appear in the sky above him, aflame and crashing. He quickly found a darkened alleyway to sound his ancient horn and assume the visage of THE SCOTSMAN. He summoned his magic steed, and flew up to the crippled airship. Inside he saw a strange white-haired woman fighting the controls, with a man lying next to her. They both looked seriously injured. Scotsman used his horse as leverage, and was able to support the failing craft, and keep it aloft until it cleared populated areas, and reached the shore of the ocean. Just as it plummetted into the surf, the woman pulled the injured man to a shattered window and leapt out. Scotsman reached for the pair, thinking they would fall, but the woman was able to fly/flutter to earth without injury.
Scotsman immediately landed and assisted the pair, and woman insisted he take her to AlertForce mansion. Scotsman protested, and said he wanted to take the man to the hospital, and the woman agreed. On the way there, Scotsman realized that he recognized the man, as Iceland's greatest superhero, number 10. They dropped him off at the emergency room of the nearest hospital, then winged their way to AlertForce Mansion.
As they arrived, HAL was briefing AlertForce on the suddedn appearance and crash of Number 10's airship not far away. AlertForce was heading out of the danger room to investigate, when Scotsman and Snow Angel appeared on the lawn.
Introductions were made all around, and after Snow Angel was attended to medically by Bane, she told her tale. She related the story of how she, Number 10, and TRIAD had attempted to slip at high altitude in his airship across the Swedish border, in order to infiltrate what they believed was UMI's inner sanctum in Stockholm. Just as they passed over the border, each member of TRIAD collapsed, catatonic, as if they had passed through some invisible force barrier that shut them down. The airship was immediately attacked by drone fighters, that set it aflame. During the battle, a number of constructs appeared aboard the dirigible and grabbed TRIAD, the disappeared again. Just as the battle was nearly lost for Snow Angel and 10, their airship was sucked into some kind of energy wave emitted by one of the fighters, and somehow emerged in the sky above southern California.
Just then, Joe appeared, and announced he had successfully reactivated an earlier version of PAL from the computers siezed from the Arizona bunker. The team re-entered the Danger Room and interrogated the PAL backup copy. PAL told them he vaguely recalled having been awakened by UMI, but he knew little else. They showed him recent events, and PAL voiced an opinion that UMI was not acting like a computer, but like a man. They asked PAL to posit how to stop UMI's plans, and PAL said there was only one way-- to kill UMI. The computers began to overheat, and Joe shut down the simulation at that time.
Mantis told everyone to get a good night's sleep, and that tomorrow the attack would begin. Later that night, Bane stumbled onto Dr. Lassiter leaving Mortimer's room in a state of semi-undress. Both looked embarrassed. The situation deteriorated further when, a couple hours later, a loud pounding at the door and deep voice echoing through the mansion announced the return of... GUZZLER!
