Ah, so the last of the Villains is here.

Sorry, all the rest, but sign-ups for villains is OVER.

Please, new questees(?), just find one of the other two groups that suit you. And the rest of youse guys who stick around in this thread, please be so kind as to point the newcomers to this posting.

Daedelus, what happens when our phone batteries run out? Are we supposed to carry spares?

...and can we use something other than the mobile phones provided. A phone box?

*Daedalus nods*

Any electronic device that is connected to the internet or to a phone line can be used. I will track you using a few of the government's spy satelites.

*Pauses*

Security cameras near the Minos Front have registered a large burst of light. A secondary audio signal has been picked up from inside the Front, operational seconds after the flash. I am intercepting it now...

...would you like to sample it?

Yeah, that would be great

Playing...

*Static hisses, and slowly clears into a calm, smooth voice talking.*

...vodka martini, shaken, as requested.
Anything for the lady here?

*Pause*

Sir, I would ask you keep the... carrying on of business down to a low. We may be already watched for, and from what I know, Daedalus has no problems with security. That would include... certain devices, if you catch my drift. And who knows what the police might monitor in this end of town.

So, let's keep things a bit calmer, yes?

*Pause*

Ah, young master. What would you be having? I assume that one such as yourself is not a heavy drinker, but I might accomodate...?

*Static re-claims the message.*

Current feed is now simple background noise.

Incoming transmission...

"No thank-you barkeep. I am Eddie. I don't like, respect, or trust any of you and could care less how you view me. I have my own reasons for being here and that is all anyone needs to know."

End transmission.

Incoming...

"Ah, well, that's too bad.
You're going to want some allies, from what I can tell...

ED-E! The police band just went crazy and there is a dense metal object approaching the perimeter! Profile suggests SWAT armored personal carrier!!

I thought I felt a cellular phone nearby...
I assume you have plans in place for this sort of situation?"

Scans indicate police activity in the area. No visual available, with a localized power failure. The audio signal is being jammed. Looks like a SWAT raid.

Interesting...

Any thoughts, guys?

Me thinks the "heroes" are a tad confused. I don't want to get your hopes up, but I think we might have a good chance of coming out of this victorious. One should never underestimate ones enemy though, shouldst one .

And have they got a Bar? The fools, when we have to confront them they'll be plastered.

Terran

Hmm, well, I think it sounds like we should go and see what we can make of this. Is there anything of value there which is perhaps worth our effort to steal?

?

Mmm... not sure if that would work. Where would we put it all? And if we want to catch them off guard, how better than while they're having a pint. By the way I think they may be moving to the sewer.

To be honest I don't think we can take a lot off the heroes, The Terranic Government are the ones with all the best stuff. If you want we can take the snooker table (just for something to do while were waiting), but it would probably only wind them up. Or we could blow up the bar, again though, that would elimnate the eliment of surprise. Perhaps we should focus for now on the rather inept Terranic Government.

Terran

eliment=element

OK, I'll go and lurk...

Or even better...

Daedelus, can you tell us what the Terranic Govt. is up to just now?
