The fake building has no entrance of any kind. While it is mostly just vinyl, you will have to make a hole for anybody else to get to the entryway.

Madame Macabre

HP: 2
Cnd: Normal

Elizabeth stands beside Silver Phoenix, ready to attack when a proper breach is made. Looking over to her martial-artist teammate, she cracks a slight smile. "I'll leave the robots to you. It takes me a bit more effort and creativity to take them down. Anyone else though...I got 'em." With the black sleeves of her robe pulled up slightly, she speaks a few, strange words. With a slight gesture of her hands, the distorting effect of her protective Entropy Field can be seen about her.

"Cool" Luke
HP: 2
CND: Ice Cold


"If it's an entry way into the building, having a door isn't a problem.", remarks Luke. he walks up to the wall and his fist is coated into an additional layer of ice. As it slams into the wall, the first thing that spreads is the ice on his hands over the area and then his first hits it. "They'll know we're coming so be ready everyone.", says Luke.
Freezing Fists: Damage 8(Strength Based; Extras: Accurate 2) Linked Weaken 10(Toughness, Fort save; Extras: Accurate +2/flat, Extras: Effects Objects Only +0/rank)
Power Attack +/-5 since its a wall its DC 30 damage after the weaken toughness of 15. SHould be enough to break a hole in the wall

Luke easily makes a giant hole in the wall, probably big enough for the whole VTOL to fly through if you really wanted.

Zyzzak notes the welding stops seconds after Luke opens the hole.
Combat adjustments only apply to 1 effect, even when they are linked. If only one effect is Damage, then it applies to that one. Even still Weaken 10 is more than enough to set the TOU of the wall to negative.

Also, despite Sakuro's comments to the contrary, Zyzzak never searched inside the fake building. At least, he never made any rolls to say he was.

Zyzzak reports over comms the welding has stopped. He becomes visible through the hole applying his wrist fusion cutters to undo the weld-work.

"Apologies for missing that the faux-building was alarmed. It seems scouting and stealth are moot, yes?"

Evelyn "Bulwark" Gracen
HP: 2
Cnd: Healthy


After Luke creates an opening for the group, Evelyn enters the faux gas station to find Zyzzak working on undoing the welding ... right after she gave him very different direction and stated that she would be handling the barrier. Her lips curved into a subtle upside down crescent.

"Zyzzak, I told you to get into a flanking position so that you could surprise the enemy from the side when we breached."

He was already in the middle of the task. With a shake of her head the woman gave an annoyed ...

"Finish it."

While she spoke the metal that had flowed off of her like water earlier, now came crawling back up over her body. Coating her from head to toe.

Zyzzak quickly burns through the seals. Opening the hatch, there is a 20 foot tunnel about 4 foot radius with two men climbing down with welding equipment. They are about halfway down.

They see the hatch open and start trying to hurry. One of them loses his footing and starts to fall. He grabs the other, but only manages to bring him down to the bottom of the passage.

Zyzzak, you see a small maze of tunnels in many directions. They are not new. There are about 2 dozen people moving around in different directions. They appear to be bugging out.

Zyzzak stands aside so the others can see for themselves.

"Four hands more of people scrambling about in a maze-like network, apparently evacuating." Zyzzak reports.

Evelyn "Bulwark" Gracen
HP: 2
Cnd: Healthy


Evelyn's lips purse into a thin line when when Zyzzak steps to the side and gestures for others to go ahead of him when there were two men that they had seen falling down the shaft. Instead of commenting she strides up to the ledge of the shaft, and the off the ledge. In that moment the lid to the tunnel reshapes itself into a disk under her feet and she rapidly descend to the base of the shaft.

Looking at the two welders Evelyn gauged their condition visually while pulling at metal in the environment, which she used to restrain their arms and legs. The metal seemed to move under it's own power as Evelyn herself didn't bother with needless dramatic gesturing. Once the others came down into the tunnel she looked to the team's martial arts specialist: Silver Phoenix.

"Take a look at them. If they aren't dead, see if you can help them regain consciousness."

After speaking to Phoenix Evelyn looked between the Canadian Shield and Zyzzak.

"If Phoenix can rouse the men we may be able to get some information out of them. Better to not rely on that. Scout ahead. There could be a maze down here for all we know."

There is a brief pause, after which she focused her dark eyes on the armored Xeno, Zyzzak.

"If you can find a computer terminal, or otherwise hack into their surveillance, that could help us track down the Horde leadership."

Harry "The Shield" Mackenzie
HP: 1 Condition: Normal

Harry nods, "Just remember, they have a shapeshifter with them."

Last thing they needed was to get ambushed by somebody appearing to be him.

He moved ahead quickly, sliding down the ladder and landing soundlessly. With practiced ease he moved forward, alert for traps and troops, mapping out the area as he progressed.

Zyzzak
HP:2 LP:0 CND: Presumably Rested and Healed
Scanners: Senses; Vision gains penetration, extended
Pattern Array: Computer integration
Defensive: Repulsion field
Wrist Emitters: Concealment, except radio


Zyzzak nods at the orders before disappearing and floating down the shaft after the Northern hero. Over the comms: "Agent Mackenzie, perhaps I can patch you into the PA system and you can say something comforting yet commanding to the employees of whatever organization are still down here. My efforts in that area are typically unhelpful to the situation. I imagine we wish them to cease any illegal activity, including destruction of evidence and to come along peacefully. Oh, and not attack us."

Zyzzak will peer through walls looking for threats and someplace to access their systems.
Perception: 1d20+9 17

Madame Macabre

HP: 2
Cnd: Normal

Elizabeth follows Bulwark to the edge of the shaft. After watching the team leader descend to the bottom on a metal disk, the pale young woman makes sure that Evelyn is clear before teleporting herself down behind her. Once at the bottom, she stands cautiously with her palms up as if ready to cast a spell at a moments notice.

Her eyes wander about the workers, and she half expects an ambush to occur at any moment. Where are they? I know they're here somewhere.

All

The hallway is empty except for the team and fallen men, who suffered minor injuries only.

Zyzzak notices that everyone seems to be moving away from where you have entered. The equipment he is able to spy all appears to be powered off.

"Cool" Luke
HP: 2

Luke lowered himself on a column of ice not even bothering to try and climb down. "So no directory of bad guys main location is here?", asks Luke jokingly. He wasn't a perfect fit for an Aegis agent, but he could try to lighten the mood a bit. Looking around, he didn't see much.

"If I could talk to these guys, assuming they are alive, I might get them to tell me something.", adds Luke.
