Re: Doubts and Discoveries
Truth is certainly impressed at the display of power, but the look of astonishment passes as quickly as it came.
"How long can you maintain this, or rather, can we leave this area without disrupting the temporal pattern and thus loose the regular flow again?"

Chronos replied, "I can hold this past us running out of air and disruption isn't an issue. We're between ticks of the clock, nothing out there can affect us, but that works both ways."
Doc added dryly, "Mostly I've used this for holding unobservable business meetings. Leaving is harder but do-able. We walk out the open door Tigerwasp used, then I try to set up another field letting us walk away. Poof. From their standpoint we disappear. TW teleported and the rest of us got up and left during the confusion."
Chronos unhurriedly took a sip of water then got out his wallet and took out some money and put it on the table. He added, "But speaking of business meeting, we have the time and we're not being observed. Who are those guys and why should we care if they catch us here?"

Re: Doubts and Discoveries
Lucy hoped that the woman would use less technical terms. She still wasn;t sure if the authorities were the bad guys here or not. It was always preferable to fight unequivocal evil. Dealing in shades of moral grey was always challenging for her. She'd let a thief go before, convinced of his absolute need for the money and its use.

Re: Doubts and Discoveries
Truth Stands from her chair and looks over at TW and then the frozen pair of men.
"To me it is unmistakable that those men are shifters, shape changers of the Garou or 'wolf' council. Their aura tells me that and is likely something you all cannot see. This is the biggest reason I wanted you all independent of my bias to investigate them yourselves and see the facts firsthand. "
She pulls from a cache on her hip a sleek chrome plated pistol, ejects the ammo clip, eyeballs the rounds held within and reloads and readies the weapon in a quick fluid motion of just over 3 seconds.
"If it were my call and my actions were without consequence, I would end that pair of lives this moment. I truly do want to see for my self that the bullet wont hurt them."
Truth stashes her weapon again.
"They are sentries Chronos. They arrive when a mechanical alarm is triggered sensing a meta or when someone alerts them as the suspected presence of one. Their job is to investigate and ensure registration or apprehend should cooperation not be found."

'Oh good.' Lucy thought. 'Time and space manipulation - nothing complicated there, then'
She derived considerable solace from the fact that no matter how scientific or technical things got, she still looked good.

Joe asked reasonably, "If they're bullet proof, then how would you end their lives?"Narrator wrote:"If it were my call and my actions were without consequence, I would end that pair of lives this moment. I truly do want to see for my self that the bullet wont hurt them."
Doc looked thoughtful and asked, "What would they do if they found their target was a small child? Also, are you registered?"Narrator wrote:"They are sentries Chronos. They arrive when a mechanical alarm is triggered sensing a meta or when someone alerts them as the suspected presence of one. Their job is to investigate and ensure registration or apprehend should cooperation not be found."
Doc grimaced and replied, "Thank you, that's a strong option. I'm not really good with space, I don't like trying to teleport from inside here, but we could drop the field right before you make your move. But that raises two issues in turn."Armor wrote:Armor leans in. "Two questions -- one apiece, I suppose. First," he says, to Truth, "where's the nearest alarm?

Doc turns back to Truth, "First, where could we do that wouldn't trigger another alarm? Second, if we stay here will these guys do anything more than check our registration and then leave?"

"I have never registered but I also will not trigger their alarms unless they specifically look for my energy signature. And thats impossible technically as they have no record of it. Regarding the child, well thats never been considered in all all honesty and their are no reports to go from. I assume they would talk to the ward or parents of the child."Doctor Chronos wrote:Doc looked thoughtful and asked, "What would they do if they found their target was a small child?

"The alarms are only triggered when they sense a non-registered pattern. They have to be linked up somehow to a mainframe or home computer somewhere. I am not good with all that kind of stuff so I am guessing. All I know for sure is that the alarms only go off when unrecognized metas are around; the farther we are from civilization, the better chances we have of not triggering any alarms.

Re: Doubts and Discoveries
"If the anti-meta alarms are dependent on one or more central databases then they have to be sending and receiving information from that database" Southern Cross replied."I'm not a technician,but if they operate in such a manner,they send a metahuman's energy pattern to see if it matches with their records. If no matches are received,the database sends back the equivalent of "NO MATCH FOUND" and the alarm sounds. Considering how paranoid these Garou sound, I'd assume that the alarm goes off UNLESS the alarm receives a "MATCH FOUND" signal from the database".

Doc frowned as several options presented themselves. He reasoned out loud, "Truth is immune. The rest of us have registered. Either their database hasn't been updated and they're here for us by mistake, or they're not here for us. The first would be interesting and potentially useful, the second is a problem."

"I'm still confused." Lucy rejoined. "So these guys are after someone and we are stopping them because...?"
Tigerwasp understood that she'd registered; so couldn't see the issue there, unless there was a cabal of extremists within the organisation hunting specific threats. If their system worked, why wasn't she now the bad guy for opposing it? She just wanted someone to point to some unequivocal basics that set her world back to simple understandable truths, or as near as was possible to such.

Re: Doubts and Discoveries
Chronos said, "Registration is just a tool, it does have proper uses. Society has an interest in banning meta-powered criminals and in making sure metas understand their powers. Preventing the destruction of New York or the creation of zombie plagues are good things."
Chronos nodded to Truth and continued, "But registration can also be misused. Slavery. The holocaust. And Truth here is claiming the organizers are destabilizing reality."
Doc added dryly, "But thus far I've seen nothing of slavery, or people plotting a holocaust. On the face of it our law enforcement thugs appear to be..." Doc searched for a word and decided on, "...proper, if thuggish."
Doc sighed and said, "Unless someone has something more concrete, I say we let them continue."

Re: Doubts and Discoveries
Truth sighs. It's not hard to see the regret pass over her face.
"I agree with all of your points and observations, they are all correct. I regret that I still stand on letting you see for yourselves what is and is not true here. I would not trust anyone on their word alone, especially if I were in your shoes."
She pulls a pen out of her shirt and then writes a series of numbers on an empty sugar packet. Handing it to Armor she stands and says;
"Post a message there on that blog when you are decided, whichever way you do decide anyhow. IN the mean time I ask you all to keep an open mind"
She takes a few steps toward the rear of the time bubble.
"Lucy, I envy your point of view. Try to keep that innocence about you as long as you can, with it comes piece of mind."
Then,
"Chronos, please let time take its normal flow. I will depart and wish you the best. But please, as I asked earlier, investigate the Council of Gaia firsthand."
With that, Truth has done what she came to do and fully expects to be on her way. SHe believes that telling you too much from her point of view will unfairly bias you and thus make you more ineffective in shaping reality here.

"Well, I followed all of that - except for the shaping reality bit." Tigerwasp proclaimed delightedly. "Furthermore, my viewpoint is envied: that's got to be a good thing. I have nothing else to occupy me at the moment; so investigating the Council of Gaia sounds do-able. Oh, speaking of nothing to do - do I need to get a job or something. I feel like I am kind of leeching off you a bit Doc. And for what it's worth, I am good at spending money."

Joe replied, "Oh I like that idea. Watching your back is too easy right now. Word hasn't gotten out yet."
Doc answered, "Yes, I know, and I thought the two of you worked well together just now."

"We did? Oh, yes we did, didn't we?" Lucy responded with a mischievous smile.
"I'm not the best investigator, but I'll happily give it a go." She added. She chose to omit the bit about usually ending up, neck-deep, in trouble. Still, she derived confidence from the fact that Jow would be there to extricate her should things go badly. Even if he hadn't been there, she still would have accepted; she enjoyed the excitement and the attention.

Lucy quickly took up her position again, but was not at all clear on what was supposd to happen next. Currently she was headed out the door without a skirt. For some reason, things like that often happened to her. She sighed and readied herself for the continuance of time.

Re: Doubts and Discoveries
As the time bubble collapses the sounds start at a very deep bass rumble and range up to where they should at the normal tremble of speech and laughter. Lucy takes her position almost perfectly, or at least perfectly enough as to not raise suspicion, and is hurried out the door by an arriving policeman. He politely offers his jacket to cover her lower half but hesitates just long enough to get a good look.
{Are you ok miss? Did someone hurt you?}translated from Italian. If Lucy does not understand, he simply escorts her to behind one of the 2 squad cars that have arrived.
In side the restaurant the 2 men take position, one at the entrance and one near the entrance to the kitchen. The man at the kitchen pushes the doors open and drags a chair over to keep it in that state. They both stand there silently a moment and peer into all the eyes that will meet them.
In the meantime, 3 policemen have entered through the front door, weapons drawn at the ready.
After a moment of apparent disappointment, the pair of men each tear off a chunk of cloth or leather from a fold in their pocket. They rub it briskly with both hands and a brown smoke rises from their hands. They look like they might be burning themselves but just as a fire forms in their hands, they throw the shard onto the ground.
The smoke, leather and fire take form and there in front of them stands a small wolf formed from smoke and fire. It's only about a foot tall at the shoulder and the people nearbye get a start but they dont move from their seats.
The Firewolves jump up on tables, run under them and seem to fly from point to point. They stop every once in a while to sniff and lick the ground. One stops in the hall between the kitchen and the dining room and burst into a fit or sniffing and darting its gaze around. It is quickly joined by the other firewolf who runs into the kitchen and back. The pair of wolves then dart back out into the dining room and back to the hall as if they lost something, the trail seems to evade them.
At the lack of a trail to follow the wolves return to their masters and jump back into their hands and vanish into a puff of smoke and sparks. One of the policemen apologizes to everyone and announces that the Council will pay for their evening tonite for the inconvenience. Another police enters the hallways and with a stepladder, reaches into a smoke alarm-like device and replaces a small chip/battery.
The event seems to be over as the Garou leave the restaurant with the policemen.

"Si, grazie. C'e stato un incidente." Lucy thanked the policeman and sted that it was an accident. She was now very much at the limit of her Italian. So, she employed her best smile and sought a ride back to her hotel. It seemed the best course of action to follow; she doubted the police would simply let her wander about without a skirt, but then, it was Italy.

NARRATIVE UPDATE
March 25, 2010 - 0115
Carpino, Italy
Participants: Armor,Southern Cross, Doctor Chronos, Tigerwasp.
As Lucy arrives at the hotel she notices that there are several policemen accompanying some rather well dressed men in suits. The second elevator shaft in the lobby is closed and the door seems to have been ripped open from the outside and the remnants of something on fire remain in the air. Nine hotel guests are seated in a conference room off of the main lobby and their glum faces can be seen through the glass walls of the room. The door is closed and a pair of suited men stand at the door, talking back and forth. There is a feeling of anticipation on the faces of the authorities, but the emotion passes when they catch sight of Lucy.
Being pointed out by a hotel clerk, a pair of policemen trot over to Lucy.
"ma'am, please. We have been waiting for you and your friends all night." His English is perfect and without accent.
"we need to ask you a few questions about what happened here tonite." He look out the windows to the street outside.
"But where are your friends, we need to talk to them as well?"
the policeman is escorting Lucy toward the suited men who look very excited to see her. One of the suits jogs down the hall a few doors to a private conference room and open the door to await her and the best dressed suit. At this point, they are assuming she is cooperative without being forceful.

The second elevator shaft in the lobby is closed and the door seems to have been ripped open from the outside and the remnants of something on fire remain in the air. Nine hotel guests are seated in a conference room off of the main lobby and their glum faces can be seen through the glass walls of the room. The door is closed and a pair of suited men stand at the door, talking back and forth. There is a feeling of anticipation on the faces of the authorities, but the emotion passes when they catch sight of Lucy.
Being pointed out by a hotel clerk, a pair of policemen trot over to Lucy.
"ma'am, please. We have been waiting for you and your friends all night." His English is perfect and without accent.
"we need to ask you a few questions about what happened here tonite." He look out the windows to the street outside.
"But where are your friends, we need to talk to them as well?"
the policeman is escorting Lucy toward the suited men who look very excited to see her. One of the suits jogs down the hall a few doors to a private conference room and open the door to await her and the best dressed suit. At this point, they are assuming she is cooperative without being forceful.
