Just an update and FYI for the Irregulars, in case it was missed or is unclear what Sean is sharing with them over Guildchat.

-More portals have opened in cities all over the world
-Those portals, including the Shelly ones aren't two-way, but only Termini all originating from the same Portal. Things can come out, but nothing can go in.
-The Irregulars have to go to Mission Zone in China to get to the Origin Portal and close it from the 'other' side.
-The Portals and alien forces in Shelly at there purely as a distraction for the Irregulars/Human QEHs.
-Savant and Jaunt will be joining them at Bunnee's in a moment then they'll be jaunting to China (I presume Jaunt has to be in some proximity to the other Irregulars to jaunt them off to wherever)
-Savant suggests leaving some or most of the clones behind to help guard Shelly and hunt down Howlers.

I think that is the main thrust of what Sean has shared over GuildChat. If I missed anything or anyone has questions, feel free to ask or hit me up in chat.

I hadn't thought about it at first, but sure, especially if she felt any extra interest or someone asked about the portals over GuildChat.

Relevant section of Sean's post:

There was also the billions of quantum particles each portal emitted to consider. Major population centers were being targeted. Even though it took a very specific series of conditions to activate a nascent MR Node, sheer numbers would indicate there would be more than a few quantum events triggered. Being masters of Portal Technology, Sean assumed the Asheen were aware of the emitted quantum particles, if not their exact effects on human physiology. Still, she couldn't believe they didn't find a use for them. Wireless Energy Transmission for their war machines perhaps? Using disturbances and fluctuations in a thickened quantum field to track military movements?

jaunt is building more speed this turn, (dave is skipping this round)so the vortex will stay stable for a while. Dave next turn jaunt can leave the vortex and it will last for the rest of the scene. I never meant for it to take jaunt out of the action just that after the monsters dealt with the vortex will need to be dealt with too.

Charlie and Kia are up if either of you are going to act.

If neither are going to take a turn let me know so I can do the orca and let sean and able post something.

Sean an d able your posts are cut scenes and are not bound by the time round constraints... like a b movie when your done you will be where you need to be at the right time. Time is already messed up for this scene anyway.

Critter attack rolls; posting for my own sanity as I work out the effects of the attacks:

Dodges first:

44 [7d10=9, 3, 7, 9, 8, 7, 1] - 6 successes (6 damage; soaked...thrown off 60 meters)
41 [7d10=4, 9, 8, 2, 2, 6, 10] - 6 successes (6 damage; soaked...thrown off 60 meters)

35 [7d10=2, 9, 3, 4, 1, 7, 9] - 4 successes (10 damage; soaked...thrown off 100 meters)
37 [7d10=5, 2, 5, 5, 8, 2, 10] - 3 successes (12 damage; soaked...thrown off 120 meters)

First two on each array are mega-dexterity
36 [8d10=5, 4, 1, 1, 8, 2, 6, 9] - Misses

47 [8d10=10, 2, 5, 5, 7, 10, 3, 5] - 6 successes, 1 over difficulty
40 [8d10=5, 8, 8, 1, 3, 6, 5, 4] - Too far due to recoil, attack negated
47 [8d10=1, 7, 10, 9, 8, 7, 1, 4] - 7 successes, 2 over difficulty
54 [8d10=8, 8, 7, 6, 4, 10, 3, 8] - Too far due to recoil, attack negated
43 [8d10=6, 6, 9, 4, 5, 4, 5, 4] - Too far due to recoil, attack negated
52 [8d10=6, 3, 9, 6, 5, 8, 5, 10] - Too far due to recoil, attack negated

10 [2d10=7, 3] 1 damage
13
[2d10=5, 8] 1 damage
15
[2d10=8, 7] 2 damage

It is now second round jaunt can act. Abel can make a post arriving at the vortex but cannot act.

Lilly Kia, the brood and charlie can also act

Sean can post about whatever she is doing in the city

The beast has fortified it's armor making it's new soak

53 Bashing   45 Lethal    23 ag vs Phys

it now has a +5 difficulty to hit dude to the quantum reinforced armor meaning you need 6 sux just to be able to damage it

It has taken 1 level of ping damage and did not seem to notice that.

It is unaware of Lilly on it's back. it is unaware of charlie, it is semi aware of jaunt, and it is fully aware of Kia and her brood.

Everyone post what the intend to do in the next 4-5 rounds post here in combat thread I will edit it all together into one post after everyone has a post up dave is gone this weekend so it will likely be after sunday before i can make a big post.

monstar can't do anything so no roles are needed just be discriptive.

noir if you want to post anything about what we discussed concerning the vanguard do that in the main thread as a seperate post please.

the only thing i want in here is what y'all are doing with the monster.

i will edit so actions fit

Abel had a fair number of options open to him, but given the way events were already going, simply trying to command the creature to be calm was quickly discarded.  He had a sense that he could pick it up, but to what end, he certainly wouldn't be able to hold it long, though as things were, it wouldn't be needed.  He could only feel the instincts of an animal, its fear and desperation evident now.   He continued to fly around it, not wanting to make himself an easy target, in case it lashed out at any of them.   Sensing no defenses to speak of, Abel knew his path.    His face set into a grim mask of a young man forced to put down an animal because it had become a nuisance, he assaulted the mind of the colossal creature, chipping away its ability to defend itself, and its sense of self.

There was a part of him that hated this, as in truth the Orca had done nothing wrong, it was simply being the animal it was.   Even knowing that, the creature's potential was nearly limitless.  The destructive capability it could possess, given that it was even stronger than the irregulars themselves, it was simply too great a threat to be allowed to roam the seas as it would.   It would attack again, and without them around to deal with it, how many lives would be lost?

He attacked again and again, until there was nothing left to attack, and he sighed.   They'd killed it for the Greater Good, and silently he wondered how long they'd be able to claim their actions truly fit that.

  Abel's mental attacks each score 16 successes over the orca's defense

A shadow falls over the scene. Kia floats down from above, blotting out the sun, jellyfishian tentacles reaching down as she goes. They twine around the orca-monster's arms and shoulders and tighten...clenching with inhuman strength to try to pin the monster's arms to its sides and keep it from being able to attack. The toothed suckers on those arms chew their way into its flesh, making deep round ringed marks...and inject a potent venom in the process.

Meanwhile her strange little wasp-creatures keen and wail as they try to work their way deeper into the whale-creature's skin!

Lilly was amazed at how fast Devin was moving. She was used to him teleporting, even doing it casually, but right now he seemed like it was blinking into existence for a fraction of a second and then vanishing, only to appear someplace else, trying to convince Lilly's mind that there was more than one Devin. He appeared next to her and snapped a selfie so quickly that she barely realized he was there, her face in the photo an expression of exertion.

< Dude. Seriously? > she thought at Devin, semi-teasing.

Then she saw Kia's pets attack, at least some of them anyway, after fighting their way through the tempest. Lilly shuddered as she watched them begin to burrow into the orca-zilla's flesh. Kia was her BFF, and a super sweet and caring girl, but something the things she could come up with just creeped Lilly the fuck out, like the thought of wasp-thingies burrowing into her flesh.

< Kia, I love you like a sister, but damn girl! Did you get into Devin's tentacle porn anime stash or something? > she teased her friend.

Lilly let it go though and returned her thoughts to the task at hand at the storm picked up, the beast began to writhe and bellow in frustration as it tried to grasp her, but could not reach Lilly in her spot clinging to it's Dorsal fin with a force that could nearly turn coal into diamonds. She was not going anywhere, and could see that she that it was not going down like she had hoped. She needed to turn up the heat.

Lightning crashed in the tempest, and if she was being honest, was the only thing that actually scared her a bit. She knew there was little on Earth that that could truly hurt, or even kill, her aside from a nuke... or maybe a lightning strike. With luck though, she figured, if she were strike then the charge might pass on into the beast, even if Science was not her best subject.

Regardless, she held on and sent a single to a little lump of flesh in her brain. Her node opened and sent a flood of quantum through her body as she let out a grunt of exertion. Her tissues, muscles and nerves all surged with quantum energies, making her stronger, tougher, faster. Her muscles flexed with newfound strength that dwarfed her already considerable might and her nerves felt awakened, carrying signals at unbelievable speed. Even the constant, mildly annoying sting of the rain in the tempest lessened as her flesh became more resilient.

She clenched her fist, sheathing it in kinetic  as she reared it back once again.. and then her arm seemed to vanish for a moment. Her arm was still there and attached, of course, but now she strike the beast many times faster than a jackhammer, her arm moving so fast that even Devin, with his quantum enhanced senses, lost sight of it for a moment.

If one were able to perceive it, they could see her fist struck the first time, making a depression and sending a ripple through the flesh as she drove the kinetic energy deep into it's body, searching for bones to break, organs to rupture and any other harm it could inflict. Her arm then raised up and struck again, hitting the depression that had not yet rebounded from her previous strike, adding more energy to the mix. Then she struck again and again, and again, each time pushing that depression deeper, almost like she were burrowing through the thick flesh, sending even more energy and ill intent into the creature, each strike hitting hard enough to demolish a row of tanks.

< "Sorry big guy, but Capetown isn't your buffet!" > she thought and yelled aloud as she kept pummeling the beast, trying to stop it.
