ooc: Actually, once the good doctor was seated, I was done, unless I missed something. Same here. Land away ;D. Shanghai, ChinaDade heard a roar coming from somewhere in the darkness behind him, he looked back but couldn’t see anything there, “what was that?” he asked the man with him, but received no answer. Then Dade sensed yet another new mutant’s energy, he was not 100% sure but it felt like it was moving closer to his direction, the few people that run past him in a fleeing kind of manner suggested that something horrible was heading his way, or perhaps the roaring nasty was heading in a different direction & the people had simply fled from there. Tag Sabretooth, anyone>

Over Kazakhstan, in the Blackbird Dr. Ramsey unbuckled and walked fore, towards the team's leaders in the cockpit. "Ah've been studyin' the data we've got, an' Ah think Ah've pinpointed aboot 3 different places tha' processin' area mate be. Boot Ah canna' be sure, an Ah dinna' want us te attract attention. Are we going te do leg-werk, or de ye want te scan th' area when we get there?"
He leaned on the back of Storm's chair and handed her printouts with notes scrawled all over them, a few things circled. <tag Storm> Hallway A Research Facility, Shanghai Sabretooth shook the last bit of his stupor off with ease, and bounded out into the hallway. He stopped and sniffed the air. A grin slowly spread across his face as he licked his lips. "Scientist," he purred, and ran down the passageway towards the smell. He came upon a group; a scientist flanked by an escort. He swiped a guard, digging his nails into his soft body, right through the flak vest. Blood sprayed in the darkness, covering his right paw.
Sabretooth approached the scientist with the friendly face. He lifted the nail in his free hand like Norman Bates, high over his head. "I'm gonna kill you, then I'm gonna rape you, then I'm gonna eat your %*#! lab-coat!" he growled. <tag Dade>

Over Kazakhstan, in the Blackbird Iceman got out of his seat & joined the group forming in the cockpit to fined out how much progress they had made, “how long until we land?” Bobby casually asked Jean. Tag Jean>
Research Facility, Shanghai Everyone fled the hallway as Sabretooth plunged his nail into the guard, leaving Dade to fend for himself. Dade’s eyes widened as Sabretooth blurted out such a disturbing (and unnecessarily warped) threat. Dade quickly took a few steps back as he began rubbing his hands together making a ball clay-like substance appear, he immediately dropped it to the ground and it morphed into a copy of sabretooth complete with a full set of nails, all in a matter of 10 seconds. “That doesn’t really work for me. Can we talk about this mutant to mutant?” Dade asked genuinely, not wanting to fight with a fellow mutant. Tag Sabertooth, anyone>

((only reason I haven't landed the Blackbird yet is that I thought it would be awkward to just say that it lands. That's why I asked in character what the plan was))

Jean turned towards Dr. Ramsey slightly, "Assuming that there are Sentinels, then it's probably safe to say that they will have mutant captives to test them on. A large enough group...Cerebra should be able to pick up on their energy. I've already queued a scan for our approach. Do any of Dr. Ramsey's spots seem particularly likely, Storm?" She turned to Bobby with a slight smile, "Soon enough...less than an hour, I'd say."
<Tag: Storm, Iceman>
Gambit eyed the proceedings casually, seeing no need to get up--the front area was a bit crowded. "So what the plan when we get dere anyway? Gonna bust in or sneak in? I'm for the sneakin myself..."
"Professor wanted us to be discreet and since we don't know what we're up against, I'm also in favor of sneaking, Gambit."

Motoko sat on a bus, checking her google alerts on any nearby mutant actions. She was getting closer to the school, but it would another hour or two to actually get there. "God only knows why I decided to get on a bus at midday," she said, ruefully looking at all the cars around her. She settled back. She had with her her cell, recorder, laptop, a protein bar, and a small knife. 'Why go looking for trouble', and all that. She started to zone out as she debated in her head the reasons she didn't bring a book. "This could take a while..."

Storm In the Blackbird
"Assuming that there are Sentinels, then it's probably safe to say that they will have mutant captives to test them on. A large enough group...Cerebra should be able to pick up on their energy. I've already queued a scan for our approach. Do any of Dr. Ramsey's spots seem particularly likely, Storm?"
Storm called back to the mansion. "Professor. If we are dealing with possible Sentinel construction, we believe it would be necessary to have a large group of mutants available for testing them on. Could you use Cerebro to locate any unusually large and dense groupings?" She listened for a few minutes, "Thank you, sir."
She looked to the others, "He'll call us back with any findings as soon as he has them."
She looked over at Jean, "Are we going to find a landing spot? That might be be difficult in such a congested city like Shanghai. Or, we can put the plane in a holding pattern. The onboard computer is sophisticated enough to avoid any other flights?" ******************** Xiao Shanghai, China
They kept moving outwards. With the panicked flow of people doing the same, it made it much easier. With her features and Vivien in her lab coat, they blended in in the dark corridors.
Ahead was the door to the outside. Guards were posted, but were having little success against the mass moving against them. But, it worried her. If they were spotted, it might not go so well. Chinese militia of any flavor tended to shoot first and not worry about the questions later.
She tugged on Vivien's arm, "If they spot us, take them out quickly." <Tag Vivien.>

Happy with that answer Iceman left the cockpit, ¡°Sneaking in sound like a good idea to me¡± He agreed as he sat back down, buckled-in and waited for the professor¡¯s response along with everyone else. Tag anyone>

((It's cool, we'll roll with it.)) "I was checking some high-detail maps of Shanghai during the flight..." Jean pulled up the map on one of the display screens so that Storm, Iceman, and Dr. Ramsey could see, "...and I noticed that there is a large section of abandoned warehouses, right here...close to the harbor." Jean pointed out the area on the map "...it seems like the top of one of those warehouses might be suitable. Once we land, we can turn on the holographic projectors to disguise the Blackbird." As she said this, she flipped off the autopilot and began the descent. VivienVivien paused, confused by the egressing crowd. It seemed very odd for everyone to be leaving, but being more interested in getting out at the present moment, she didn't stop to consider the question. Vivien nodded at Shadow's order. She didn't need to be told, anyone preventing her from getting out was fair game. She barreled ahead, into the crowd, holding the broken mop handle pieces underneath the flap of her stolen lab coat. Unfortunately, one of the guards noticed this and plucked her out of the crowd by the arm. The mass of people backed away as the remaining guards blocked the exit. They were calling out orders in Chinese. The guard who'd grabbed her jerked back her lab coat and saw the mop handle. He looked confused, just before Vivien kneed him in the crotch. He let go of her arm to clutch the abused appendage. As he doubled over, she elbowed him in the nose for good measure. Vivien wasted no time; she spun around to face the other guards, jerking off the lab coat. She gripped the two pieces of broken mop handle, one in each hand and advanced on the guards. In the small corridor, they didn't have much space to aim their guns. Not that it mattered, as soon as they raised them Vivien knocked them out of their hands with several blows to the wrists. Splinters from the mop handle flew off as she beat the guards. One of the larger splinters caught one guard in the eye. Another of the guards recognized eskrima and seemed undaunted by the improvised kailli sticks. [glow=red,2,300] -EDIT-[/glow] <tag Guard NPCs>

Blackbird, over China Dr. Ramsey nodded and sat down in his chair, buckling in for his descent. He looked over at Gambit and Iceman. "Ah've got te admit, this is all rather excitin'," he said with a grin. "Ah've nay been on a reconnaissance mission before, less ye count me research fer me doctorate..." <tag iceman, gambit> A Dark Passageway, Shanghai, China There was a pause in Sabretooth's advance as a large blob formed before him. "What's huh?" he said, for lack of more interesting or witty thing to say.
Another odd sensation, he noted silently, watching one's own self materialize. Maybe he was still on the Drugs, and this was just another Bad Trip... He stepped back into the shadows a bit, assessing this new development. Did someone just make another God of the Hunt...? <tag Dade>

Blackbird
The grin on Dr. Ramsey’s face made Iceman smile, “I bet you never had to sneak in on a jet to get your doctorate”. Tag Dr. Ramsey, anyone>
Shanghai, China
Dade saw the confused look Sabretooth had on his face as he stepped back into the dimness, he took the opportunity to try and calmly talk to Sabretooth before things turned violent, “Listen, I cloned you for my own protection, I don’t intend or want to hurt you, whoever you are, but I will if you force me” he explained in a kind soothing voice hoping to get a civilized response, “Who are you?” he asked almost as an afterthought.

Shanghai, China Creed was rather taken aback. What the @*$! is that thing? And why's this guy being so nice? Something doesn't smell right... He took a defensive stance, ready for whatever. Seeing as both of them were in a position to make demands, he growled, "What is this place? What did you do to me??" he shook his severed fingernail at the scientist. "And who's your pretty friend?" he asked, poking the Graven Image with the Nail. <tag Dade>

Shanghai, China Dade remembered the two mutants he had been helping to track minutes ago, he had assumed they had broken in for some reason or another, but while he was looking at the severed nail in Sabretooth’s hand & the wounded finger it had come from, he wasn’t so sure that they where not just trying to escape from being pocked & prodded & he was not so sure these lab’s was as innocent as they looked. Not having all the fact didn't help. “I don’t know what they did to you, I had nothing to do with it, I work in a lab mixing chemicals,” he said horrified at the thought that sabretooth might have been experimented on. “Don’t worry, it's not real,” he said motioning to the clone "It will only do what it's tolled to do. Relax, he isn’t going to suddenly attack you,” he explained trying to ease sabertooth’s mined. “Do you remember how you got here?” he asked trying to establish what was going on Tag Sabretooth >
