Hm. If he can search Paradigm records and files in this room, he'll look for if that sounds like a power belonging to anyone on file! If not he'll make it a note-to-self to go hunting around.

He suspects it's a waste of time, but he reviews any incident reports they have of past attacks, to see if witness statements say anything consistent about the possible "shooter".

This would hopefully give them an idea of how close the "shooter" was to the target before assassination. "Also have there been any survivers that have been shot by this mystery gunman?"

Reports vary. Some suggest close range such as a pistol whereas other have a pause between shot and sound, suggesting a longer range rifle! There have been a few survivors but it's expected they were not intended targets and just collateral damage. Back to Top   Aaron Silverman Legend Defense ...

He feels uncomfortable doing it, but maybe there's something there. Phones in the 2030s should be pretty damn good at video and stuff. He's especially watching for if anyone seems to be acting strangely, either before or right after the attack. Maybe it's a long shot but there could be something.

Otherwise, no such luck. He sees the man giving hate speech about metahumans for about four minutes before there's a small flash of red light at his forehead, splattering his brains behind him right before the sound resounds and everyone starts to panic, video ending shortly after.

He isn't sure what he was expecting. Seeing a man's brains splatter all over in HD makes him need to sit down though, and he goes pale even by the standards of his already fair complexion. That man hated people like Aaron, he'd said so many foul things in the video, but he didn't deserve to die. Aaron had eaten before coming down here and now it feels like a mistake, as his stomach fills with a watery sensation and he takes a couple deep breaths. What had he expected? This is the kind of thing he'll have to see as an agent, as a hero, as someone who might be fighting the Empire in Europe one day - shouldn't he be able to handle it? Well, one thing at a time. That man had a family, people who loved him, people who felt he was a good man despite his prejudices - Aaron was going to stop his killer from hurting anyone else, and give closure to those he left behind. What was that victim's name? « Last Edit: Nov 2, 2015 3:26:53 GMT -6 by Aaron Silverman » Back to Top   Some things are worth fighting for, some feelings never die...

For what it's worth, Aaron's sorry you had to die that way. And that Paradigm couldn't protect you. Out of curiosity, and while he waits to hear Eithne's findings (not having been reading over her shoulder while she researched what he asked for!), Aaron drags the video back to the flash first appearing and pauses, forcing back acid that starts to rise in his throat. On his forehead - does the location give him anything that could give a clue as to where the shot came from? Dead centre vs. off to the side, for example, or maybe the size of it indicating angle or proximity. He's not exactly a trained forensic analyst though, so who knows if he'll get anything. He just wants to not feel useless right now. Back to Top   Some things are worth fighting for, some feelings never die... El Sensei Sensei El Jefe I control the universe!

Shooter didn't want to be caught in the mob once they stampeded, makes sense. If he looks at this damn video any more he's going to throw up, though, so he exits out of it in a hurry. Still pale, he goes back to the reports on the past shootings - there were both close range and long range shots on file, but was one more common than the other? Anything to indicate a preference? It's all busywork, probably. He just doesn't want to be sitting around doing nothing while the intel agent in the room gets what she needs.

Miranda pulls up his picture on her phone and shows the agents who are currently around her. She frowns at the sound of the people screaming and looks at the computer Aaron's at, only to look away a couple seconds later. Her stomach keeps flipping, anyway. Any information on correlations between Henry Green and the good doctor, or just that they are/were speakers in the rallies? Back to Top   Eithne Reagan Mentor Intelligence I assure you I mean well.

If Aaron's on a computer she does watch the video he found, not seeming too affected. "Bad way to go." she comments, sort of wishing she could examine the corpse. But if they get unlucky, the speaker might die and then she'll get her chance.

I.e. phsycal trauma burning on the skin etc." This would help them find how better to protect themselves on the mission if they knew what weapon or power was being used and how it damaged the body.

He's digesting the information Eithne found anyhow. 1000 people, huh? That's going to make this a lot more difficult. He looks up the location she gave them, to see what they're looking at - how big an area it is, if the event is indoors or outdoors, stuff like that.

She nibbled idly on her lower lip, glancing towards the other two girls. She didn't really know either of them. "Where was the last one?" she asked the blonde. "If we can get there, we can scout out the area, look at the angles, and see if we can't figure out where he was shooting from." S She glanced back towards Aaron. "We need to get an M.O. on this guy before we try going after him. It'll be easier if two of us take the last place that was hit and the other three take the new place. We can scout and reconvene." She gave a slight shrug, trying to figure things out in her head. The light and the damage appeared before the sound. Like lightning striking before thunder. That delay felt... crucial.
