Score One for Our Team

19 March 2006-

We had to take some of the team off the search for the girl (still fruitless) to go make our other appointment- the visiting minister who we think is the target for the team of demonic bad guys. We convinced him not to go on with his scheduled appearance in person, but to let Sentinel (our friendly, neighborhood, nanomorphic living-metal "I am a phone" robot) mimic him instead, and to set up the auditorium as a trap for the bad guys.

The plan almost worked, in the sense that we were all set up and ready to pounce, when the bad guys decided to throw us a curve, sending their fire projector to burn down Children's Hospital as a clear and significant distraction. Our teleporter Evac took Red October and Damascus, two of our bricks, to the scene, left them in the parking lot, then proceded to teleport their guy in between the two bricks. What followed was a brief, but thoroughly satisfying ass-kicking of the highest order, as the two bricks grabbed the bad guy, held him in place, and then beat him to death in the space of three seconds or so. Although we normally try not to kill anyone, we unanimously agreed that any villain evil enough to burn a hospital full of kids deserved service above and beyond that which we provide to most of our opponents.

You could have served what was left on toast.
