Sounding like she wants to turn this whole thing around on the cops instead, interesting.

How long do qe have before the fight? Before the raid? That's why Vincent checked his watch.

I forget. What does Breckenridge have that allows him to track us?

(I wouldn't have blown the story before the fight if there were still a player running Massari.)

It is about 3 and a half hours away till the raid. The fight depends upon who you piss off first :).

At the beginning of the game, Detective Breckenridge had each of you injected with nanites. He assured breach that these would not interfere with your powers (and so far they haven't). You succeeded on a check to determine that he had no idea how this technology worked and so it is unclear how these two interact. (I have personally already decided how they interact, but without doing some research of your own, Breach wouldn't be able to know herself.) He tracks you using an app on his phone. He threatened to give your coordinates away on Powers Hour, thereby setting every professional and amateur hero loose on you.

Breach should be able to see through herself and use her Analytical microscopic vision to see the nanites. She would be +18 on any technology roll while looking at them. (Though she might need an upgrade on her microscopic vision to actually see the nanites.) But once she can "see" the offending nanites, a power stunt on her Insub should be all that's needed to eliminate them. So maybe to power stunts in a roll would do it. But I haven't pursued this as this is a "one shot".

You are completely correct on the facts above. Only reason I have assumed you couldn't figure out the nanites was specifically because your vision says dust size particles. I have been giving you your choice of pp and hp (you should have some combination of 2 at present). You may be able to afford that upgrade. In any case, as we move toward phase 3 of this story, I will probably offer another pp/hp.

As I said, she needs the reason to stick around. If she had fixed her tracking problem in the hotel room last night, she would have disappeared by morning and be in a car to Mexico and beyond by now. If you are planning to have story beyond the casino, she will definitely need to get rid of the tracking nanites by then.

I don't have a plan for outside the casino. I do have contingencies for outside the casino based upon possible outcomes I can foresee. I am aware of what your character wants. You just haven't got the leverage your character thinks she does. I will make that more clear in game.

She doesn't need levelage. She just needs a friend.

You had (something of) one before Vincent foubd out you're planning to defect and leave him and the others out to dry. Hmm... How to proceed with what's next...

Sorry, but although we've been in these characters for nearly a year, Breach has known Vincent less than 48 hours. And most of that time was spent corralling the aliens. Any chance to get out from under the thumb of Breckenridge was to be taken. Another thing they don't share. Vincent is not here under duress.

Don't worry players. I will be giving you a reason to cooperate soon enough.
