This check you called for at the police precinct.

Posted. Also, I could've sworn there were results from the Insight check from earlier, but I can't seem to find them anymore, that correct Jedaii? 👍  

Custodian Morgan leaves the rest of the group to get the ground tour as he flies up to hover several hundred feet above the facility, figuring he can get the layout and defenses from the rest later. As he quietly enjoys the solitude and rush of wind up high, he scans the surrounding area, looking for likely directions of attack and easily defended chokepoints. Once he's done his survey, he meets back up with the others to share his findings, and get an update on what they've seen.  After this, he flies off, taking a somewhat circuitous route to throw off any potential trackers, and heads back home, deactivating the armor well before he's there and walking the rest of the way. He spends the rest of the day spending some time with his family, and doing research on the Crushers, trying his best to find out more about any of their strategies or weaknesses.  

Custodian Custodian had been quiet, trying his best to observe the complex. He looks over at the security officer as he talks, expressionless mask staring at him. "Do you guys have any anti air defences up? I'd like to take a bird's eye view of the area, and I'd rather not be shut out of the sky."  If given confirmation that he's good to fly, Custodian flies up until he has a good overview of the immediate area, and he scans the area for a good view minutes, trying to discern any likely avenues of attack that the Crushers might take.  

Custodian "I'd like to do some prep work on my own at some point today, but I'm good to join you for an initial scouting mission."  

I'll get a post up sometime today, but for now, Insight check!

I mostly meant that I would be able to keep the airspace clear. Vulture is pretty much only useful midair, while the FIST is still a walking tank on ground level. Assuming we want to actually capture the Crushers, not just thwart them, taking out the folk that are both the most manoeuvrable and prone to fleeing first seems the most sensible. Beyond that though, we probably shouldn't focus fire too much, and try and focus on keeping the Crushers from reaching their target.    

Custodian Morgan thinks for a moment, while trying his best to remain his cool at being singled out. "I should be able to handle the Vulture without too much trouble. He's likely to flee if we leave him out too long and the tides start turning against him anyway, so taking him out quickly is probably for the best if we want to capture him. FIST isn't likely to stick around if his armor gets wrecked either, but he's a more experienced pilot than me, so I'm not sure how well I'd be able to handle him in a straight up dogfight. He's also potentially the most vulnerable, if we have a way of bypassing his armor's defenses, target him directly past it somehow, if anyone has any way of doing that." He goes over the map. "What're the buildings defenses like? Any reinforced walls, active defenses? Or do they usually just rely on security personnel?"     

What would Morgan know of the actual capabilities and tactics of the Vulture and FIST? I imagine Streeter has been active for a lot longer than Morgan has, and is a lot more experienced pilot than him, but if the Vulture is limited to winged flight and like... claws, Custodian actually has a decent amount of experience fighting that sort of enemy, technically.

Custodian Custodian leans over, more fluidly than could be expected judging by his armour, to look at the pictures. "Haven't had any run ins with any of them, but... I've done my research, I know who they are and what they can do... mostly." Morgan taps the picture Titan indicated. "That would be the Bull, and hardly a cutie. You'd probably be the best to handle him straight on, yeah, though you'd have to be careful. You and Aegis both." He glances between the two, "He goes by Bull for more reasons than just his physique. Not a big fan of red, he is. Deadly, too, in a 'will happily kill' kind of manner, that is. All of the Crushers are deadly in their own right, really..."  

Let's see if my luck with the dice roller will turn.

I have posted. My apologies for the delay, I've been super distracted this weekend, will try to stay on top of things a bit more. The pace is mostly fine, I just suffer from living-on-the-other-side-of-the-world syndrome.

Custodian Morgan remains standing, looking not too unlike a statue as he does his best to stop from fidgeting. He thinks for a moment at the detective's question, letting the others speak. Once the rest has said their piece, he finally speaks. "I'm the Custodian. There's a bunch more titles attached to my station, but they're not too relevant. I... have a responsibility to the planet, and the people on it, to keep it safe from certain threats. Teaming up with... likeminded individuals with their own skills and abilities is the most effective way I have of fulfilling my duty." He shrugs after this, adding: "On a slightly less grandiose point... I want to help out and work with heroes, even if it wouldn't help me in my duties."   

Custodian Morgan slowly raises his arms, trying to look as non-threatening as possible while wearing super armour glowing with eldritch light. "As they say, we're the substitutes, just here to help."  

Custodian Morgan had been trapped in a bit of a feedback loop with the intellect spirit while he was trying to recall what he knew of the Crushers, which took him a few moments to get out of. By the time he had managed that, he had gotten distracted by the arrival of the Silver Shrike, who was lighting up on his Arcane Lens like a Christmas tree. Curious as to why, as nothing he knew of her indicated heavy magic use, he engages some of the more detailed sensors, trying to get a feel of the nature of her magic. He is quickly pulled out of his analysis by the growing crowd, however, and he quickly switches gear, noting that none of his teammates seem too keen on interacting with the crowd much. While hardly a glory hog himself, Morgan still figures it's best to actual talk to the people, reassure them and keep them from panicking. Taking a half step forward, he raises his arms slightly to address the crowd. "People, please," he says, trying his best to project gravitas and confidence, "I know how you feel, I really do, and I appreciate it. But I'm afraid that we cannot stick around. Unfortunately, crime doesn't rest easily, and as such, neither can we. We're doing everything we can to put a stop to the actions of the Crushers, and keep this great city safe." OOC Persuasion to placate/calm down the crowd and make a slightly more graceful exit than just sprinting off. Using Extra Effort for a +2 bonus and a Hero Point to recover from the EE.
