How far away are you going to land the VTOL?

I think you said there nearest actual buildings were a mile away, which is Madam Macabre's teleportation range. I think it'd make sense to try to fly there [stealthily] and park among those buildings for the Sneaky scouts to make there way in; then the Madam can teleport in (with back-up) if needed.

Thoughts?

Of note: with Zyzzak's cloaked fly speed, covering that mile will take 15 minutes. But I don't see anyone with subtle movement powers for a better sneaky approach.

That could work. Only catch is those without some speed boosting powers might take a bit to get there.

Madame Macabre doesn't have Accurate on her Teleport so she needs to be able to accurately target it.

And even if she did, she has never been there so she would still need some kind of visual reference to use her Teleport.

Like video feed from the people going in?

Moving in stealth is -1Speed, so it would also take the Shield 15 minutes to cover a sneaky mile, Silver Phoenix could do it under stealth in 4 minutes.

And that is if you aren't carefully taking time to look for surveillance or booby traps.

Good Point.

Also, Zyzzak can cloak one other person in addition to himself as long as he stays within 5 feet of them; for any additional options that opens up.

Like if he a Gracen fly cloaked over the proposed path, her scanning for hidden metal and him for electronic objects, they might be able to clear it more quickly (she using her flight and metal control to move Zyzzak at a higher rate and keep him close).

VTOL aren't subtle. Unless ours has a super-science stealth function, they are going to see us coming miles away. That aside, they likely already know we're coming to this location. A fast insertion and rapid scouting is the aim. The scouting is there to make sure we, as a group, don't get blindsided by something. Not to catch them off guard. We aren't going to be able to do that.

You are correct, the VTOL is not a stealth craft.

Overlooked this. My thought was to drop in from above the building.

So, you'd like Zyzzak to land on the 'abandoned gas station's roof or would you like the craft to hover over it and the scouts drop down?

Hover the craft above, and drop off the scouts.
