Stark Transcendent (Iron Man/Marvel Quest)

Reader mode
[] - Write-In: Swing by Pepper and get her walking and talking with your group of 3 (Tony, Hank, Peter), and head toward Reed, act like you're going over to make fun of him or whatnot. True goal is to get a couple more heads together.

[] - Write-In: Try to get a calm evacuation going with Hank and Reed's help. Our serious nature and Hank's obvious (if you look) injury should help convince Reed, and at that point we can hopefully get the general conference to get out of there. Having more brainpower working together can't hurt at improvising solutions if things go FUBAR even further.

Just a rough draft, but basically trying to go with something with a bit more momentum and that, in my mind, gives us a better chance of improvising a solution, worst case.

EDIT: Revised version posted later.
 
Look I wrote that in like 2 minutes. I'm going to try and revise my write-in here in a bit when I have a chance.

My goal is to try and utilize all our resources. I intend to incorporate JARVIS as well.
 
Roarian, what would have happened if we'd only got +1 Warning? Is there a difference from the +2?

Why are people acting like science heads are combat/security experts? Hell, this is before Reed's 'accident' even.

USE THE SECURITY PEOPLE. THEY ARE FUCKING TRAINED FOR THIS SHIT!

My guess is that people are concerned that one or more of the security people have been compromised.

In other news, it's hilarious to see people go all 'PHOENIX FORCE/DEATH/INHUMANITY COMBO WE WILL BE THE ULTIMATE RUTHLESS BADASS' and then shy away from actually being ruthless when they start playing. It would probably be a lot easier to do 'nice' stuff if we'd actually picked a 'nice' background.

You would only have gotten one of the two openings. E.g. just warning someone instead of also having a moment to actually act. (That's why it's warning 1 & 2 :p)

The universe is a bit of a clusterfuck with all three, admittedly, but that fits Marvel just fine. Having multiple cosmic-level threats around that might individually fuck everything up is probably a bit of a problem to deal with later. Not a solo thing, unless you guys manage to seriously OP the hell out of Stark. Which is in principle possible, of course...

Also, perhaps people are realizing that thinking through the worst-case consequences of choices is a good idea. ;)
 
[X] Virginia 'Pepper' Potts We owe her, plus we ain't losing her anytime
soon if possible. [X] Get Yourself a Weapon : You might be wearing Kevlar under your suit, but you have
nothing to fight back with, if anything bad
happens. It's probably paranoid, but you'd
rather be armed when someone comes
knocking. Maybe those guards had
something you could use, even if you had to pilfer it from them? [X] Evacuate Nothing hard to go off to justify a evac, so
let's be careful, but get those we care about
out.


Eh, isn't Peter here should be hanging up on Gwen? He already prefers redhead? ... What a mystery.
(I ship Peter and Gwen as my marvel OTP kek)

Is there time to play this cool and keep calm? I think shit's about to go down in under a minute. Whoever is harassing Pym will figure them out, and Parker's precog is limited to the short term, right? Stuff is probably already in motion.

Warning Scot Summers and Jean Gray would be a great idea, but I don't see an IC reasoning for those two. Putting out a general alarm is good for that. The line-up for the conflict could be Cyclops, whatever moniker Jean Gray uses, and maybe Spiderman. No Iron Man, unfortunately. Maybe SHIELD has something around too. Sounds AWESOME.

What we need to do is to get the big players in close, combine all of our skills and abilities and strategize...maybe get JARVIS to hack their cell phones or something to make sure we get their attention as well as giving the Security Detail extra coordination? I mean, we are in a room full of potential superheroes, it seems wasteful to not jump on that with both feet and run it for all its worth. And between the lot of us, I'm sure something could be worked out, we got the builders (Tony, Hank and Reed) and at least two very good hitters (Spidy and Scot) with us along with magical support. Agro all of them, get them working together, and we can likely out think any problem, and what we can't out think we have people with the skills to handle that as well.
 
Roarian, can we wrangle up a makeshift repulsor right now?
Canonically stark built an iron man suit out of scraps. Surely we could find some stuff around the conference hall and build a repulsor...

But... we have no idea Peter is Spidey and no idea who Scott is. Or that there's any magical support (does Tony even know magic's real?). Really the only support we know about is security/Hank/Reed/Jarvis. Can we really work out a non-meta reason for a mass team-up?

Sure, we probably could.

Now SURVIVING the damn thing....

I'm gonna say that you have neither the tools to just build something with (even the cave had that!) nor the rare resources required to just jiffy up a revolutionary weapon out of thin air. Now, whether or not other people present have brought their own toys is another matter entirely - but the insanity of Tony just pulling out a hammer and going to town on things to build himself a weapon is as amusing as it is ridiculous. Until IM2, Tony needed the assistance of a full-on pitcrew robot to get in and out of his suit. The best you could hope for without all that, perhaps, is an IM3-style improvised solution, but that was with preparation...

Well, we aren't going to kick Pete to the curb during this, and if they are invited to this conference it is likely they are a high value target to somebody and/or very good at what they do so it would behoove us to make use of that ability.
 
[X] Call JARVIS: Your supercomputer AI buttler could hack every piece of telecomunication equipment in here and fast enough at data analysis to come up with answers for you very quickly. Plus having all the other things he can do to save your ass.
[X] Set up a Trap [Ruthless] : You might not know where an attacker could come from, but you have enough time to plan for contingencies, and to take anyone with extreme prejudice. Using Pym's information, you might be able to ambush anyone that might come your way.

JARVIS could help with setting up the trap for maximum effect.

That actually is a pretty good point on JARVIS, he could set up a 'conference call' with the other people here and the Security Detail easily.

Wait, I wasn't aware that Death is an actual figure in Marvel.

Yup, she's pretty much the personification of the obvious, and Thanos is kind of smitten with her. So is Deadpool, but that's a whole other deal. Thanos sort of cursed him into living forever (on top of his healing factor) since that way he can never be with Death (who is his, dammit!) Needless to say, getting Death's attention is basically the equivalent of poking Thanos. And if you recall that Stark ends up with one of the infinity gems that Thanos really likes (they used the tesseract in the movies) then it's like stabbing the guy in the foot repeatedly.

And that's aside from the planet-devouring cosmic entity with a habit of scorching everything to ashes, incarnating into various 'mortal' forms, and the race of human offshoots that are led by a guy whose words carry enough power to ravage cities, or worse. A race whose descendants are spread out among the general population, unaware of their heritage, able to take on inhuman forms through the slightest exposure to the terrigen mists. A ready-made army...
 
So, revision. Kind of rolling both actions into one to represent it being, instead of a choppy sort of "do A then B", a rolling narrative stream-of-consciousness, which (to me) fits Tony rather well.

[X] Total Write In:
Use our phone to text JARVIS as we're staying mobile with Peter and Hank. Make a somewhat loud remark to Hank about how he's got to prove something to Reed, or some other such thing. Basically, make it seem like our moves are posturing.

As we are walking across the floor, we're texting JARVIS that we think there's a problem and at the very least please alert Security, and if possible get it where the administrators call for an evacuation without us just walking over to them.

We snag Pepper on the way, making a big deal about how she's our God's Honest Witness that we're totally about to do an awesome thing that's not a weapon so haha Reed Richards there you are Pepper tell him you're practically CEO at this point.

All the while using our phone to alert JARVIS, Pepper, the Security detail, event administrators, and the police (mostly with JARVIS doing the "heavy lifting" since he can multitask).

Hopefully we get to Reed and his lady friend just as the cancellation and evacuation is called, and we just happen to exit the event in a group, making sure Hank, Peter, and Pepper don't leave our sight.
 
[x] Conference Call: Have JARVIS call the other attendees to the conference, use sound bytes of Dr. Pym, to get them to gather to us and then have call and coordinate with the Security Detail about potential security risks that may be immanent.

[x] Think Tank: You have the best and brightest people in their respective fields here in the same room, time to use their gifts to help ensure the safety of everybody here at the conference.

Thoughts?
 
Pretty much a compact version of what I put forth, but without the explicit effort to get everyone evacuated.
