Over the course of the last mission we descended upon the movie theater by various means. Some of us threatened/fought/knocked out a single thug in the middle of the cinema at various points throughout the mission, resulting in an ambulance being called. Requiem located and infiltraited the hideout
alone, by herself, without any help, and Nightmare followed her in, all his figurative guns a-blazing, before fleeing in abject terror. Whilst Requiem was inside the hideout, the thugs employer, disappointed with their long string of failures, decided to murder them all with no apparent difficulty. Deciding that Nightmare might have the right idea after all, Requiem escaped before the villain could finish his massacre, indirectly saving the lives of the six thugs she intimidated into fleeing on her way out.
As Requiem was finishing her own flight, Byzantium spotted and gave chase to her in hopes that she knew something about what was going on, with the White Russian following him. A terrified Requiem pointed them back to the hideout, and the two of them investigated to find the place deserted. Staring at the bloody aftermath of the slaughter, the two of the struck up a conversation with a friendly police officer, who noted that the hidden base might make a good superhero hideout
wink-wink-nudge-nudge-cough-cough. Upon finding records indicating the thugs former employer was Cybernetic, Byzantium began throwing pictures of Polyphemus at everyone he could find, explaining to anyone who would listen how he was also an evil cybernetic and so might possibly be related to the situation.
And that is the story of how we all fled in terror whilst only I accomplished anything of even the faintest note. Please keep your adulation at a reasonable level.
