[x] Terms and Conditions?

[x] Wards?

Should be a backup if anything goes pear shape.
 
The Registration Part 04
[X] Wards?

"Ah yes, our Wards program." Deputy Rennick remarks upon hearing your question. "It is a where young parahumans like you have a safe and comfortable environment to be able to learn and master their newfound powers without any harm coming to them or the general public as well as providing them a normal environment for them to grow up in," he answers.

The reply is something bland and exactly what you'd expect from a brochure. And with convenient timing, he also slides you a brochure detailing about the program.

"On a more truthful note? One reason for this program is more for the safety of the parahuman in question due to the whole increasing gang situation in this city since they have a habit of press-ganging newly triggered parahumans into their groups." He adds as an aside. That's reassuring.

Back to the now, your force yourself to get a rein on your temper. Wait, shouldn't it be rather flattering if a guy mistook you for being younger then your actual age? You've already graduated from high school damnit! And you decide to make that point clear.

"Just so you know, I've already graduated for high school." You state.

That got the Deputy Rennick fumbling for a bit. While you can see the crinkles of a smile just above Samantha Wilson wannabe's mask cloth thing-y.

Now you've got him in an awkward position, now would be the best time to bring this up.

[X] Terms and Conditions?


"What terms and conditions should I know of since I'm registering as an independent?" You ask.

That seemed to be the cue for Red, White and Blue to take over, where she gives you a brief over what terms and conditions that come with being an Independent. Well, it wasn't that big a list, so, that's something. Mostly just don't brutalize criminals, be willing to cooperate with the authorities and yadda, yadda yadda. At least there was time for one more question.

[X] Anything I should know about?

"Well, "Red, White and Blue seemed to pause and think for a moment before telling you," We did run your costume through the wash after that dip you took into the Bay. Armsmaster seemed more fascinated with that pair of devices that were strapped to your wrist though, you should be able to pick it up about now," she finishes.

What happens now?

[] Interlude time!
[] Follow Star-Spangled Banner. (More exposition thing-y)
[] Write-in.

Yows, that was a tiring day. Parent's office stock check and recounting everything for recording's sake. Then there's Comic Fiesta tomorrow in a more out of the way place this year. Early bedtime for me then! See you guys on the next round.

Damn, of course Armsmaster nommed on our tech...
 
I don't see why Armsmaster figuring out web-fluid is such a big deal. I mean, yeah it's rude that he looked at with out asking, but if he shares his findings with Dragon then they'll probably improve containment foam or something.

Because a counter could be made and annoying people could get their hand on it. Also, we created it, why should they get it for free.

I wonder if we could get a specialized PRT containment foam for our devices
 
The Registration Part 05
She was given them by a retired Janet Van Dyne. Not sure if the web fluid formula came with them but I assume so.

Well, all we know is that the web-shooters convert moisture in the air into the web fluid. Bit for intent and purposes, I'm going to treat the web's properties as being the same as regular spidey webbing.

And now, an update.

[X] Follow Star-Spangled Banner. (More exposition thing-y)

Your face paled at Red, White and Blue's mention of Beardmaster studying your web-shooters. Because according to Mrs Van-Dyne, her husband was always rather protective of his tech. And if anyone attempted to study it, it means...

"Could you please take me to his workshop, er I mean study or, whatever you call it?" You ask rather hurriedly.

Lucky for you, Mask Lady seemed to catch on your urgency in your tone. "Deputy Rennick, could you please send a team of guards to Armsmaster's lab? Containment loadout." At his questioning look, she explained,"Security concern,"she explained. "Spider-Woman, with me please," she asked, while getting up.

You quickly follow her out of the meeting room. Her pace fast, you also keeping up with her. Meeting up with the group of guards she asked for, one of them clad in a rather clunky looking power armor. Most of them seems to be carrying that containment foam spray you saw them with the other day.

Roll the Dice! Result: 5 (Good Lord, lucky enough.)

Approaching the room carefully, Red, White and Blue punches in some code and the door slides open noiselessly. Peeking inside, you breath a sigh of relief. It seems that Beardmaster didn't trigger any of Mr Pym's security functions. He just activated the shoot web function. Apparently, he's still struggling to get the web of his arms and body while the shooters just dangle there. Well, it did take you an hour or so to get the hang of it. But you had Mrs. Van-Dyne's advice to help you.

"Ah, Spider Woman," he greets you calmly. You had to stifle a giggle at his condition. The snort you hear coming from behind you indicated that those PRT troopers were of the same opinion of you. "I believe this was your doing?" he asks.

"Well, the web-shooters aren't mine actually, "you say while sheepishly rubbing the back of your head. "They were actually a gift from another retired hero I got in touch with. And about the webs, don't worry. They evaporate in about an hour or so!" you hurriedly explain in the hopes that he doesn't try anything more drastic in a poor attempt to free himself.

"Alright then, stand down." Red, White and Blue orders the troopers. "If you say so, Ma'am," the leader responds before gesturing his men to leave. You're pretty sure you heard a 'click' sound coming from the one in power armor. They had built in cameras in that? Sure why not?

As the door slides shut, Beardmaster turns to you,"Alright, explain," he says. Now sounding rather annoyed at his condition.

How do you tread this?

[] Truthfully. (It was a gift from a retired hero and I don't know how it works.)
[] Partial truth. (Barebone functions don't reveal any names.)
[] Write-in.

Update is here! A bit short but the dice roll proved lucky. Otherwise, imagine the security features that Pym could've crammed into his tech. That shrinking tech really is useful, eh? What would've happened next wouldn't have ended well. Really. Until then, I'll see you guys on the next update.
 
Fuck him. He poked at unknow tech without approval of the owner.

edit:

Just because he is a know hero doesn't give him the right to remove our stuff from our person, Remove our cloth and change them, and trying to mess with our thing.

I don't see any reason to really hide it, they're not in this dimension anyway
 
[x] Refuse. Just because he is a hero doesn't mean he should take our thing and try to analyse them without our permission. Maybe another time while he won't try to go behind our back. He could have broken them if he wasn't careful.

Seriously, he could have asked before he did anything, but noooo. He is Armsmater and he can do whatever he want.

edit:

So much for our trust issue with them.


[x] Important Truth: Just because he is a hero doesn't mean he should take our tech and try to analyse it without our permission. We had help in the security features protecting the tech, and considering who worked on it that could have been very bad for him.

We're not Taylor. And quite frankly, after like 3 other quests where everyone is jumping to conclusions to be the first one to say "fuck the popo-RT", I'm getting sick of it

Gwen spent her whole time on the run from the cop in her world. Now she in a new one full of unknow, in the building of a PMC full of powered people and power armor.
