4/9/13: FRIENDS IN PTA PLACES...
PARTICIPANTS: BANE, MANTIS, (later Loup and Zephyr)
Bane and Mantis visited the Los Angeles office of the PTA. After an argument with the gatekeeper, they were (inexplicably) allowed to enter without incident.
After winding around office hallways unopposed, they reached the Director's office, and a sealed, airlocked, camera-watched door. A voice asked them to submit to retina scan, which they did (and Mantis' eyepiece was damaged). When the door opened, they found, much to their surprise, that the Director's office was occupied by none other than Stanley Mortimer, former New York Information director for VIPER, who told them he had infiltrated the PTA as a means of protecting himself from UMI, since he figured it was the last place they would look (and UMI already hit the PTA anyway). The three argued and went through some misunderstandings about what Mortimer should do, but eventually reached agreement to use his position to supply the LAPD with some armor and weapons, in order to assist them in taking on increased super activity, in the absence of any help from the PTA.
Mantis asked him what VIPER knew about UMI, and he said that they knew UMI was in fact a computer intelligence, although they did not know whether it was actually a collective or just one or a small number of machines exerting control. VIPER also believed that the UMI consciousness could take control of any of the 5000, at least for brief periods of time. He also expressed the belief that anyone wishing to end the threat from UMI needed to devise a plan to take it out all at once, because VIPER had a suspicion that UMI had access to people or offices that could control nuclear weapons (either of the United States or otherwise).
The three then waltzed out of PTA headquarters with two tanks and a truckload of weapons and armor, and drove to AlertForce Mansion, where Loup and Zephyr were enjoying an afternoon tea. When the ground stopped shaking, Loup called Mike Samuels, and AlertForce graciously gave the LAPD ONE of the tanks, and the whole truckload of weapons and armor. Bane and Zephyr went with Loup to the LAPD and trained Mike Samuels and some of the other officers to drive and/or use it.
AWARD: 5hp (Mantis, Bane), 3hp (Loup, Zephyr)
