Flarbinia wrote:"Now is not the time to have a flashback! We can figure out what happened to you later! You need to get moving!" Janus Caldera shouted at Alice Jade, rousing the new kid on the block from her stupor. She did not know what the Mephistopheles Institute had done to the poor girl, but it must've been severe. Her money was on attempted brainwashing. To the public, the Mephistopheles Institute is a Canadian think tank that specialize in designing armored vehicles and defense systems for the highest bidder. To Supervillains and Henchmen, they were a potential employer. To those who worked with the Cape and Cowl community at one point or another, they were an organization that sought to create Super Soldiers-For-Hire that would give them a cut of the profit. Janus had learned the truth about the Mephistopheles Institute in 1977. The Tremor Triplets showed up on her doorstep with their costumes tattered, the result of a battle with the Punk Rockers, a Supervillain Team whose shtick was that they had Audio Based Powers and a Punk Rock Motif. Lionel, the leader of the Tremor Triplets, told her that the last few times they fought them, they were just Punk Rock loving thugs who had the rotten luck of being on the payroll of their Villains Of The Week: Miss Moonbeam, Red Knight Robot, Nuke-A-Saurus, Tidal Waver, Professor Fog. No powers, no costumes, no Supervillain names, nothing special outside of ending up in Derry Penitentiary (the prison where ASHA sent captured Henchmen and was shut down when it was replaced by R.A.G.N.A.R.O.K) after the defeat of Professor Fog. The Mephistopheles Institute had bought them as test subjects from Warden Bowers, the man seeing it as freeing up the cells for new arrivals. Two weeks later, the thugs had returned as the Punk Rockers and defeated Captain Rock N' Roll. The Tremor Triplets defeated them in a rematch and the Punk Rockers retired from Supervillainy three years later, but this was not the first time Janus would hear of the Mephistopheles Institute.

You need to focus on the here and now and right now, there are people breaking into my mansion. We can discuss your past once you've put the Tech Wizards in traction. As how you are going to do that, head to the bust next to the bookcase, turn it counterclockwise, and slide down the pole behind the bookcase. Once you're downstairs, head to the room with an Omega symbol and type in 3527. You should find everything you need. Shit. You need to hurry. They just deactivated the laser turrets on the front lawn and are opening the gate. I'll contact you again once you've gotten what you need. Spoiler Alert. One of the items has a built-in wrist communicator." Janus Caldera said to Alice Jade before stepping off the pad, the drone turning around and pointing its holographic projector at the bust, illuminating it. The holographic projector then deactivated, the drone heading back into the ceiling, the hatch closing behind it.

Flarbinia wrote:"Hello? Alice? Can you hear me now? Janus Caldera said to Alice through the Wrist Communicator, the static clearing up. "I see that you have retrieved the Omega Armor. It's bulkier than contemporary designs and its built-in night vision goggles, built-in Wrist Communicator, and arm mounted heat rays are not the most high-tech features one can have in Power Armor, but the lack of modern electronics makes it immune to hacking. I modified the charging port in the back so that you can just plug it into most outlets if it starts running low on power. Not to mention that the Tech Wizards won't be expecting a fight anyway. The Active Camouflage Generator is a marvelous piece of stealth technology. Once it's been mounted on your shoulder and activated, it will make you partially invisible and one hundred percent undetectable by infrared cameras, laser tripwires, motion detectors, and RADAR. Just don't get it wet. A Utility Belt is not as fancy as Power Armor or an Active Camouflage Generator, but it makes up for it with the number of options at your disposal. Feel free to keep them once you're done. You never know when they might be useful." Janus said to Alice before ending the transmission.

The naturally blue-haired woman wearing a Stola (female equivalent of a Toga) said to Alice Jade as she pointed her wrist at the Tech Wizard and Security Drones that had opened fire on Alice, the gush of water from the swimming pool sending them flying backwards, the Drones being smashed against the nearest wall while the Tech Wizard hit the ground. "Ten, please respond? Ten? Ten! Shit. Ten is down. We've got hostiles!" A heavily distorted voice said over the earpiece of the unconscious Tech Wizard. "Shit, they know we're here. I would advise that you use the Active Camouflage Generator to avoid being detected by any cameras. It saves energy for when melting a hole through reinforced titanium alloy plates. Judging by how easy it was to put on the Omega Armor, I can only assume that Janus modified it." The man in the Spider themed suit said to Alice before shrinking down and jumping towards the building. "Don't mind Jumping Spider. He's not one for conversation. In case you are wondering, press the switch near the place where the shoulder meets the upper arm to activate the Active Camouflage Generator and press it again to turn it off. " The woman in the Stola said to Alice as she helped her put it on, the shoulder mounted device going click as it attached itself. She then put the utility belt on Alice Jade before heading inside.

Flarbinia wrote:"What the fuck? Our employer never told us we had to deal with a discount bin Iron Man with wrist mounted ray guns and some blue haired girl cosplaying as an ancient Roman woman. " Three said to One as she looked through the camera before she continued hacking the Safe containing the list of names their client wanted. "Whoever these fuckers are, they won't make it in time to stop us. And if they do, I'm gonna have to kill 'em myself." One replied as he ripped off one of his sleeves, revealing a cybernetic arm with the logo of Hecatoncheires Prothetics LLC. (a subsidiary of Hephaestus Arms) on it. He then pressed two buttons, causing the hallways leading to the office to be sealed off with reinforced titanium shutters and activating the ceiling turrets. "If you had a robot arm which can turn security systems against their owners this whole time, why do you need me?" Three asked One as she looked at his robot arm. "My arm needs access to the security system to use any part of it. Besides, you're better with computers than me, hence why you're the hacker instead of the dumb muscle. Now get back to work. The sooner we get that safe open, the sooner we can get out of here and the sooner we can get paid." One said to Three, the Hacker returning to the task of hacking the safe. "Shit. The leader of the Tech Wizards is a cyborg. I need to warn Neriad." Jumping Spider said to himself before heading through the vents, his small size making it impossible for anyone in the office to hear him. After a few minutes, he reached Neriad and dropped down, reverting back to his normal size, landing on the man holding a gun to her head. "The leader of the Tech Wizards has sealed off the hallways leading to Janus' office and activated the automated defenses with a stolen Hecatoncheires VII. Until Janus can regain control of the Ceiling Turrets, we ain't goin' anywhere." Jumping Spider said to Neriad.

Flarbinia wrote:One turned around to see a partially invisible figure and opened fire, the rounds bouncing off the Omega Armor like pebbles thrown at a tank as the Active Camouflage shimmered for a few brief seconds. "Fuck! We ain't equipped for this Superhero bullshit. We need to get the fuck out of here!" Two said to One as he fired an EMP round from his wrist mounted machinegun. The round hit its mark, the shock shorting out the Active Camouflage Generator for a few minutes, three immediately pulling out her laser pistol and opening fire, the hit failing to penetrate the armor. "And how exactly are you going to do that? Your leader lowered the reinforced Titanium shutters to prevent Star Sentinel and her new friends from reaching you, only to end up cutting off your escape routes and trapping you with a partially invisible Superheroine. She could've taken you out without you knowing who hit you if she kept her mouth shut instead of cracking a joke about her ray guns. Who am I? I am Janus Caldera, the fashion designer you were hired to steal from. The woman who is rebooting her security system. I hope you enjoy getting your asses kicked by her." Janus Caldera said to the remaining three Tech Wizards over the Wrist Communicator, quickly ending the transmission.

Flarbinia wrote:"Perfect. The post-ass kicking one liner was a nice touch. Now that the Heist Crew is no longer a problem, head to my Art Gallery. The cops will be here soon. Once you get there, turn the five busts and head into the spare panic room. Remember, the code for the door is tiger turned clockwise, dragon turned counterclockwise, eagle turned counterclockwise, snake turned clockwise, dragon turned clockwise, and bull turned counterclockwise. What? A keypad with a five-digit code would've stuck out like a sore thumb and been easily cracked by any hacker with the right tools. Anyway, stay in the spare panic room until I call you. You can watch the heist crew be loaded into ambulances. Considering that the victims of their previous heists were corporations and rich well-connected men, I highly doubt that their lawyer will be able to keep the courts from tossing them in federal prison and throwing away the key once they've recovered enough to stand trial for their crimes, even if they get off the hook for the illegally purchased firearms." Janus Caldera said to Alice Jade as she pointed in the direction of the art gallery, the reinforced titanium shutters going back into the ceiling.
