Elite Comic Universe PBP

Arachnea appeared at the doors of the Infinite Horizon's campus in the city after a quick change of forms. The Huntsmaiden of Artemis had been needed to escape the cameraman...again...but now Pygmalion's Vision needed to be brought forth.

Her features could not be discerned under her black suit...which was also under a tasty black suit and wide brimmed hat...but that did not stop her from oozing confidence.

She hoped Babble was in position

Second form
Escape the cameraman, third form | 1d20+10 ⇒ 18

Ready

Arturo had found himself one of those pretentious overpriced cafés, that he wouldn't have been able to afford a few months ago. He blended in a bit better here than he would have at a full restaurant or in any of the shops. Regardless, he was in range and ready.

10-4

Arachnea approached the games and buzzed the guard

''Good evening, I have a meeting with Eric Gibson and his employer.''

She is show inside the main open building o f the campus, they take an elevator down to a sub basement level labeled Demonstrations Lab. Once out she is brought to an observation room that overlooks a white clean lab with various equipment and technicians are working below.

Inside there is a woman waiting with a cybernetic enhanced bodyguard. The young woman said, “Ayesha Hall, welcome to my facility.”

Arachnea made a mental note of the layout and anything of note she could see without actively looking like she was casing the joint.

She kept her mind alert and sharp

''It is a pleasure to meet you Miss Hill, I am Arachnea. You have quite impressive facilities for what appears to only be a startup on paper....paint me impressed''

“Gurl, I like the word startup to impress the tech bros, but for me this is a business and my life’s work, as young as I am. So your firm has developed some technology that we want to look at and see if it is worthwhile investing in. I don’t want to waste time,” she said honestly.

“Before we get started, water? Snacks, coffee?” she offered.

''Impress the tech bros just long enough for you to eat their lunches, I wager'' Arachnea said with with degree of amusement ''Yes my employers did produce teleportation technology. Had it been what they imagined at the start I would not have had to be rushed here on such a sort notice. It work but alas, not to that extend.''

She tilted her head

''I thank you for your offer, Miss Hill, but I would be sastisfied with the use of your lavatory for a minute or two''

"Of course, Cipher escort our prospective partner the bathroom," she said with a gesture.

Arachnea gave a nod to 'Cypher' and presumably followed him to the restroom. That said she's try to notice any security cameras or recognizable detection device...
...and any potential place where she could place or drop the device

Cipher moved with a cat-like grace. His body molded to be a killing machine. He guided her to the lavatory and said with a French accent, "Inside, I shall wait here."

OOC: Perception check DC 20 and Deception check of DC 20 as well to find a hiding spot.

This was it, the die would be cast soo enough. She was good, she knew it, but they were good as well. Above all else she needed to remain cool.

Behind her mask her eyes were eyeing possible spots and they would find one...
Finding the right spot, infinite horizons. Perception | 1d20+16 ⇒ 27

But would she fool her guard?
Putting it in the right spot, infinite horizons. Deception | 1d20+14 ⇒ 28

Yes, yes she would

''Thank you sir, I won't be long''

And she was'nt, as promised

''Let us return, sir.''

Your turn Babble, fortune be with you

Once he could sense the signal, Arturo took a sip of his overpriced coffee and began to work.

Rosetta Online

She turned to Galatea and said, “Gurl, let’s get this test run underway, I want to see your product in action. I am excited to see what ya’ll are bringing to my table.”

''Indeed...as we are to see what you have developed yourselves''

Arachnea had a smaller version of their prototype as bringing the big one wouldn't have been credible. She installed it and asked for an apple.

Cipher picked up an apple off the refreshments table and tossed it to Galatea.

She catched it gracefully and proceeded to teleport it a hundred feet or so

"Impressive, that is very impressive. You even accounted for the planetary differential. You have no idea how many objects we probably ejected into the inky dark of space," she joked.

Arachnea was vigilant about any twists of the truth but was quite aware of the implication she had just made

''From what I am told, that trick was simple, actually.'' She folded the model prototype back in it's suitcase ''Now...I am curious to see what you have done yourself Miss Hills.''

While Arturo ordered a croissant and a second coffee, Rosetta began scanning the Horizons networks to determine which would be the best to infiltrate.

“Gurl, sure, I can show you some of what we are working on,” she directed her view to the lab below and said, “Eric, go ahead and bring the system online.”

“So this system has precision and can move people en masse over large distances.” She pointed to a monitor and it showed a remote location with a similar team at work. She added, “We are going to move five volunteers over four kilometers across the campus.”
