Starguard Gamma 2012/03/11 	 David Marshall Mindstar Jolt Kay Paul van Sterran Total Babe Zereg 1

Total Babe dashes up the stairs, whirling her three-section staff at the first pair of opponents as she passes.

Total Babe leave the two unconscious on the stairs and keeps on runnning.

Jolt flies close to TB and provides cover fire as necessary

Mindstar turns her attention to one of the two armed visible threats in the room. Her eyes focus on the rifle he is carrying.

Mindstar is suddenly holding a rifle in her hand as the weapon vanishes out of the hands on the prisoner leaving him standing with arms raised looking a bit silly.

Zereg reappears, fading back into sight. He turns his attention towards David and Kay...

Zereg says, "Even as we fight here, my comrade is attacking your headquarters. Soon Dreadnaught will be free." He focuses his attention on Kay, seeking to directly access her pain centers.

Kay grits her teeth as she mentally shoves aside an attack coming towards her out of reflex, her training keeping her senses active... which makes the next shot hurt even more. Pain floods her sense and every muscle in her body tightens though she doesn't scream even if someone nearby could hear her teeth grinding together almost hard enough to break. "That it?" She asks as she springs back to her feet as quick as she can, "That all you got?" She smirks, "You're as stupid as Dreadnought is. You think I didn't /plan/ for this little diversion? I wouldn't be surprised if Veidra isn't in a cell next to Dreadnought already." And then she launches herself at Zereg. Red energy courses around her as she lifts into the air and closes the distance in a heartbeat, reaching out she tries to grab Zereg, get her hands on him, and then slam him down into the ground if she can. "Mindstar. Marshall, get the mayor out of here. The prisoner is no threat to me." She obviously doesn't know Marshall is blinded and deaf!

Zereg grunts heavily as Kay slams him to the ground. A mentally projected forcefield softens the blow a little bit, but the impact is still bone-jarring.

David Marshall suddenly finds himself without the use of his sight and hearing. At least it's dark and quiet? He could always choose to panic, but flailing around blindly isn't very productive. Instead, he takes a knee, lowering his profile. For what little good it might do.

Total Babe keeps on running up the stairs and attempts to take down the next two prisoners.

Total Babe leaves these two on the ground as well as she continues up the stairwell.

Jolt continues on up the stairs as she is pretty sure TB is right behind her now. She's certain she can take a bit of the small arms fire that these prisoners are armed with so it's time to stop hiding behind the brick so much.

Jolt notices TB catch up and clobber the two that she was going to blast and continues on up the stairs and opens a blast on the last two prisoners

As the electrical energy spreads out down the hallway both of the thugs in orange jumpsuits get the shock of their lives and find themselfs crumpling to the ground quite painfully. Jolt smiles a bit "Alright, 5th floor is clear lets get in there and stop this bastard" she calls back to TB.

Total Babe nods and runs still faster, now she no longer has to worry about people blocking the way.

Mindstar has a fair idea what just happened to David. She has the same ability. Quickly stepping between David and the remaining prisoner to give him cover while he recovers she glances out the window to fix the location of the police line in her mind. Then she looks back at the unconscious Mayor.

The Mayor vanishes from the Records Office with a slight pop of imploding air, only to reappear an instant later at the feet of a cluster of police.

Zereg struggles against Kay's telekinetic grasp.

As David's vision clears, he's presented with the image of Zereg crushing Kay into the ground with the force of his mind. Kay gasps and calls over to David. "Help! He's killing me!" Of course in reality, the roles are reversed.

Kay keeps hold of Zereg and flies over towards the nearest window where she slams Zereg into the wall! It also allows her to stick her head out the window and call down to the cops, "The Mayor has been under the influence of an alien mentalist! Restrain him safely but securely until he can be checked out!" Probably not the best thing to shout out a window but, she doesn't have radio to the cops, yet and better safe than sorry. Looking back inside she smiles, "Very good work Mindstar. Quite impressive." She of course doesn't know that David is seeing far different events...

Zereg grunts as Kay slams him into the wall. From the looks of it, he won't last long like this.

David Marshall regains his senses just in time to see a distrubing development. Invisbility, mentalism, and now slamming the bulletproof Starguard leader around like a toy? He reacts with mostly reflex, yanking a baton from within his blazer and thrusting it forward. It moves into a small portal that opens before him, with its counterpart directly behind "Zereg."

Kay seriously wasn't expecting to get struck in the back, as far as she was concerned the only threat behind her was a guy with a gun that couldn't punch through her force field. When the stun baton tags her in the back however her body tightens up as more pain courses through her system and she hisses, looking over her shoulder, "Mindstar, take him down. Knew I should have pulled jurisdiction."

Zereg says angrily to Kay, "I'll teach you to take me lightly!" He tries to reach out with his mind again...

Total Babe dashes up the remainder of the stairs, enters the room Zereg is in, and promptly fires her pistol at him.

Zereg winces. His mentally projected force field protects him from the worst of Total Babe's shot, but some of is still gets through.

Kay goes rigid as more pain flows through her system from the alien and her grip slackens but she doesn't hit the ground fully. Instead she drops down to her hands and one knee, crouched over. "Oh look..." She says through a haze of pain, eyes barely focused, "You're still going down. Because after all of that and your UEMS friend, I'm still here."

Jolt has been rolling with TB the whole time and when the door is opened up she zips inside and as she shoots at the problem she decides it's time kick some ass herself and true to her word she takes aim at Zereg and projects a powerful bolt of electricity at him.

Paul van Sterran radios in: "Kay, report. How are you guys doing over there?"

Mindstar begins to insinuate her mind into David's to help him throw off the mental illusions.

Kay smiles as she recovers just in time to see Jolt zap the alien down, "And I have better friends." She says as she rises to her feet with a small smile. Though that smile quickly fades as she looks over towards Marshal Marshall. "Zereg secure." She stomps a foot on his chest to make sure he stays down. "UEMS Marshal attacked me from behind to try and assist the Phylxian. Nearly allowed Zereg to escape. If Jolt hadn't arrived when she did who knows how long the fight would have lasted." Is sent over the SGG communicator. "Mayor secured, will need mental evaluation."

Total Babe says, "Is everyone ok?"

Total Babe gives first aid to anyone who looks most in need of it.

Mindstar says, "That's unfair, Force. The Marshal was affected by Zereg's mental power to manipulate appearent reality. It could have been anyone, well probably not me admittedly, who succuumed to that."

Paul van Sterran says, "Things here are a mess right now, maybe a dozen people hurt, some pretty badly. Veidra showed up, but Spirit managed to drive her off. She's still on the loose."

Total Babe says, "Well, better two in custody than one or none...."

Total Babe says, "What are Veidra's abilities?"

David Marshall regains his senses, the real ones, this time. "I'm glad that I could be of ass- wait, what?!" After a moment, he adds a mumbled curse as his weapon is stowed.

Mindstar says, "They probably agreed a meeting place for after the attack. What's the legal situation, Force? Can I read that from Zereg's mind?"

"Understood. Glad I wanted Dreadnought under heavy guard. With both of them in custody it gives us better chances." Kay glares death at David, mind control or not she's not forgiving him anytime soon. Though to Mindstar she says, "Go for it, but with him unconscious I don't know what you'll be able to get." A red glow surrounds the alien as well as Kay's hand and he levitates up, secured and ready for movement.

Jolt smiles a bit, there isnt very many that stand a chance when she gets around to swinging at full power. She looks at the other and shrugs some at Mindstar's question "Personally... I say go for it, he gave up his right to mental privacy when he attacked your brain" ok she's not a legal expert but that does seems to make sense to her at least.

Mindstar shrugs, "Only one way to find out." and starts the slowish but usually reliable process of insinuating her mind deep into Zereg's mind and memories.

David Marshall's issue sunglasses do little to abate the glare, and he doesn't make any further comments. For now, remaining a silent observer seems the most appropriate action.

Mindstar looks up after a while, "I'm in his mind. They had a safe house organized out in the suburbs but Zereg was in touch with Veidra via mind link. She'll know he was defeated and probably won't go there. I got an impression of Veidra's mind from Zereg's memories and may be able to mentally search, but that will take time.

Mindstar sighs, "Sorry I can't be any greater help. Searching for one unfamilar mind in a city of this size is difficult.

Total Babe says, "Better than no lead at all!"

Kay nods, "Good. Gives us some options at least. And it's more than we had Mindstar, don't beat yourself up over it." She then looks over towards Marshall again, frowns. She looks like she really wants to say something but then decides against it. "Mindstar can you teleport Zereg to a holding cell at our facility or shall I fly him there?"

Jolt shrugs a bit and smiles "Yeah dont worry about it... we can only do what we can and really you helped quite a bit already"

Mindstar thinks for a moment. "I've never been to the cells. I'd be teleporting blind. I'll try if you want me too but probably better to fly him there."

Kay nods, "I'll take him then." She grabs the alien with her hands as the red glow transfers from the alien to herself, and then she lifts off into the air, flying at speed (But not super duper ludicrous speed to go plaid) to the cells to where the alien can be contained safely.

Deputy Marshal Marshall turns his attention from the discussion to the prisoners. Inspection and identification could be handled by anyone, but it is less awkward than standing about for any longer. He can also justify some marginal jurisdiction. They were fugitives, of a sort, and SGG has their hands full with their alien captive.
