"Hm, you're probably right Lumi, considering how fast that guy folded he's probably never even been subjected to harsh language. I really should have gone easier on the poor thing." The others could practically hear Brawl roll her eyes as she talks.

Janice

Janice momentarily stopped outside the damaged blast doors and considered breifly the dangers of stepping into the room. She already felt slightly lightheaded, though she did a good job thus far of hiding that fact. She spoke through the commlink to avoid breaking whatever concentration Sandra and Lily had going.

She considered the information she has heard and considered the risks involved. "...Alicia, get down there and see about prying those doors open. Light should be able to block that radiation... but be mindful of any sickness! Brawl, you and Hardwired be ready incase Luminescent needs an immediate extraction! Sprocket, you and the rest of the scientists keep an eye on the reactor, and get Eros ready. If this doesn't work, quick evacuation must be considered."

Her eyes turned to steel. "...come on, HEARTS, you want to live forever!"

Luminesce

Luminesce nods, but cringes slightly at the end of Janice's pep talk. "I think you need a better rally call.." she smiles though and Light manifests, wrapping Alicia in a protective screen of light as they head towards the doors.

Power stunt off Luminescent Defender's Protection power, changing it to Sustained and giving her Feature: Illumination and Immunity (Radiation environment) and moving on to the doors

@Luminesce

Lumi floats down towards the reactor and even through the symbiote, she feels warmth. She shudders to think what would happen to someone without her protection.



The bluish light illumintes everything (on top of the light Lumi is making) and the details of a large, circular, mechanical door is seen. Metal girders are seen leaning on it and a loud whirring sound repeats itself. Further more, an indentation of a foot is planted where she has to assume the locking mechanism is.

A small trickle of water is seeping through the partations of the metal doors as well.

Sprocket

Lily relayed the land command to Eros and transmitted coordinates for just outside the plant.

"On it, Chief." the chipper technician says.

"...come on, HEARTS, you want to live forever!"

"Careful, Chiefosity; you're starting to sound like I did until the day I actually died." Sandra grinned as she responded through the communication line.

She made sure the emergency sequence was standing by and the rest of the process would kick in as soon as the mechanical failure was cleared, then she zipped out towards the locker rooms and returned in the space of seconds with two hazmat suits like the ones the plant's crew was wearing. She tossed one to Brawl and put one on herself.

"Hope you can hold your breath for a while, brickwall." She said. In a flash she was wearing all but the headpiece. "These are not diving suits. They will only protect us for less than a minute considering how high the rads are flying down there, but I'm setting my nanites up so that I can swim as fast as I can run. We won't be exposed for that long, and hopefully Lumi won't either if we have to get her out."

"Word of warning." She spoke quietly, unusually collected. "We are going to be sick as hell afterwards. Don't feel embarrassed if you have to puke; just don't puke inside your suit."

OOC: Just readying a stunt to turn her ranks of Speed into Swimming, if worse come to worse.

Bobbie caught the hazmat suit Sandra tossed her and proceeded to pull it on, giving a slight smirk at her advice. "I can already tell this is going to be fun." Still, when she was done she was all business, ready to jump in after Alicia at a moments notice.

Luminesce

Alicia stands alongside the entity known as Light, looking at the doors she's been tasked to pry open.. well, to have Light open, but the symbiote needed Alicia, together they were Luminesce, and right now they needed to succeed. "Okay Light... it's our show now. Let's do our best."

It wasn't much of a pep talk, though it was more for herself than Light. Through their empathic link, Alicia has never felt fear from the symbiote, it was a reassurance that at least one of them wasn't afraid, especially considering what failure meant here.

Okay... so 25 huh? Move Object 8.. I need a 13 on the die. Invisible Castle don't fail me n-.... oh who am I kidding? I'll just roll...

Move Object power check (1d20+8=14) Yeah... that's about what I expected. Welp, since i haven't used any Hero Points..

Move Object power check reroll (1d20+8=16) plus 10 gives me a 26, just barely enough

The doors shuddered and groaned in disapproval as unaligned gears and crooked servo hydrolics were forced into motion.

All were silent as Luminesce slowly pried girder after girder off the door before working on the door itself. Light manages to open the doors and torrents of water now splashed into the chamber, nearly rolling over Alicia! As she floated higher into the air, Alicia realized what trouble Brawl would've been in at this moment, but since Alicia had Light on her side, she's able to hover over the water and out of the chamber as it begins to fill up! She succeeded!

But was it enough?

Smoke rises as the water flows into inlets, meeting the over heating reactor coils and ultimately causing the entire room, computers, lights and all, to shut down.

This may seem bad... but the scientists are split between cheering, crying with joy or just plain slumping to the ground. This is a total shutdown. It means that the reactor is off.

It means Critical Mass was averted.

...and when did Janice fall to the ground unconscious?

Brawl
HP: 3 CND: -2 Toughness

Bobbie let out a breath she wouldn't admit to anyone she'd been holding when it seemed like the disaster had been averted. Then she laid eyes on the unconscious Janice and immediately scrambled to their fallen leader's side, kneeling down to check on her. "Come on Jan, don't do this to me." Her concern was obvious when she realized she had no idea what she was doing or what was wrong with her teammate.

Hardwired (Sandra Collidge)
HP: 3 Condition: Uninjured, Fatigued, Toughness +11, Fortitude +14

"Oh, what the crap, now?" Hardwired grumbled as Brawl knelt by their fallen comrade. However, seeing Janice on the floor and out cold flipped a switch inside her. So far she'd been snarking on their assigned leader's every decision, slacking off because Janice was there to take the fall, but this was no longer the case now, and her rapid-firing neurons reached a decision quickly.

"Sprocket, scan her and check for any injury." She spoke sharply. "Brawl; if Sprocket says we can move her, take her to the Eros."

"Lumi." Hardwired concentrated and transmitted to Lumi's commlink. "Get your glowy behind here, ASAP. Janice passed out and we're moving out."

"Let's get going, girls." She spoke simultaneously with her voice and her electronics. "We're done here, let the authorities deal with the goons and let's make ourselves scarce; we don't want media attention."

[flynnarrel]

Sprocket

Lily moved to Jan in an instant, her penetrating radar would add another bit of radiation to that already absorbed but it had to be risked.

Treatment (1d20+6=23)

Assuming she finds nothing to contra-indicate movement: "Nothing to say not to move her. Let's get her to Eros, just outside. You're right, we should all get going." Her external speakers increased in volume til all the scientists could hear. "It's probably best if we don't mention the four young women and the floating silver ball at all in official reports. Sound good?"

Sprocket boosts power to the comms to penetrate the water. Lumi, you can get out of there alright?"

[McGuffin]

Brawl
HP: 3 CND: -2 Toughness

Sandra's words, no, orders, snapped Bobbie out of it. As soon as she got the all-clear from Lily she picked Janice up with a surprisingly gentle touch. Bobbie didn't spare the assembled scientists a second glance before hauling ass back to the Eros.

[EPIC]

Luminesce

Alicia skirts back from the sudden flood of water, then responds to her commlink. Okay, I'm on my way. let's go Light."

Luminesce makes quick work of flying back to catch up with the others and return the Eros

The flight back is a solemn one. The landing is even worse. In all the missions you've all been in, this is the first time you had to witness the medical staff strap one of your own onto a gurney and rush her off. It's a sobering experience. Carlos, who meets you at the landing strip, is especially shaken.

"Ms. Danielson says to meet her in her office upstairs. Civilian clothes." He says this naturally, pausing as if to say something else, but thinks better of it and walks away towards some other staff members in the hangar.

=====

You four are now in Ms. Danielson's office, a room devoid of any spec of dust, dirt, or disorganization of anyform. It'ss so clean, that you four may have just contaminated it by walking in it. Tea and pastries are on the lrge oak desk near the back of the room and there's is quite a few. The fact that some of the pastry is cut to very tiny portions is a dead givaway that it's meant for you.

As for Ms. Danialson... she's not there. So you all are by yourselves doing...?

Some time for free rp. The description of the office itself is left vague
