(I'm not sure if this is more Adam's or Ryan's thing, since Aaron suspects Imperial involvement but the actual characters are Ryan's, so whichever I suppose.)

A bit after his talk with Mat that took an unexpected - though welcome; he wasn't keen on going all over the thing at the school a third time in such a short period - left turn, Aaron's decided to chase down the easier of the two ideas he has, for investigating his theory on that little group of anarchists. That's what brings him to the archival room, with a pad of handwritten notes - the group's powers, some descriptions, a little drawing of the pin the one at the hospital dropped - for comparison purposes. This could be... a lot of reading, possibly a waste of his time, but it was worth skimming around, right.

Aaron is looking for the section that'll have records of known Imperial personnel, and maybe reports on anti-Imperial operations. When he heard war stories from Mom and Dad, they didn't mention personally fighting anybody who seemed like the four anarchists, but it was possible they'd pop up in some report, right?

He isn't sure in what kind of order these things were organised, so once he had the right section he'd take a random file down, look at the name, and flip through it.

Wait, it's not like those four would be the only metahumans on the entire planet with their specific abilities.

The file he finds is Jimothy Clavish! An Immortal that had infiltrated Paradigm and broke out an important operative and some artifacts before returning to the Empire. Reports indicate he had a large hand in helping the Eastern Block fall under Empire control. He has not been seen in several years however.

Oh, he's heard of this guy. Not who he's looking for but it gives him an idea of how much info to expect.

...Are there any Erikas in the files? If the records are in alphabetical order he goes to the "E" section.

If there are any Erika's in the Empire's ranks that Paradigm knows about none of them match the Pyro's power.

Again none that match the powerset.

So that means the pyro they captured either isn't Imperial, or hasn't been known to associate with them. Finding proof is going to be harder.

He'll be here all day if he's just grabbing random files, though. All week, maybe, there's a lot in here. With all the advanced technology of the day though, the archive room's got to have some kind of computer system though, like what libraries have for their inventory, so he goes looking for a terminal nearby!

He logs in with his Paradigm account! As an agent, his account should have access to these things, even if he's just junior.

Let's narrow the search down. Searching just the records on Imperial personnel, he sorts results by power, starting with pyrokinesis.

If he can read files on the terminal, he'll do it, if not it'll tell him where they are so he'll go get 'em, bring 'em back and start reading.

He finds at least half a dozen entries! It doesn't seem to be an uncommon power. He can read the files on the terminal.

He does, starting with the files that have female names!

It's information that this GM doesn't have but doesn't seem to have relevance to the Pyro that attacked the hospital!

Damn.

X out of that search, new search. Powers related to kinetic energy or creating explosions.

He finds a lot of powers with that search term! Everything from kinetic energy absorbtion to powering up to explosion generation to exploding orbs.

Look through the female Imperials with those powers. Aaron remembers mask lady's height, her build, stuff like that, so unless it was completely generic maybe one of them matches up.

A few of them have similar powers. But none of them really seem to be a perfect fit.

Aaron emails himself copies of the ones that're closest to what he remembers of mask lady in powers and build, then starts a new search. Males with size changing. He'll look specifically for any that look like what he saw of the unmasked bits of giant dude's face, and match his physique.

Yes, but he's curious, so he opens a different tab and does the same search without specifying Imperial operatives, just metahuman criminals overall.

He doesn't find a match with Imperial agents. But he does find one for a criminal!

Victor Kramer AKA Andre The Giant.

He was arrested five years ago for several assault and battery charges. The charges however were dropped due to lack of evidence.

Naming himself after Andre? How dare he!

He saves the file and goes down any lists of known associates it has, searching the database for the names he sees in a third tab. He leaves it as a general search, since focussing solely on the Empire isn't getting him anywhere.

There are a few names listed but none of them seem to be Meta humans. And his last arrest was five years ago. However the victims were all messed up pretty bad. Crushed bones in most of them.

All refused to testify.

Gruesome.

In the third tab, Aaron does a search for any Erikas or Ericas in the database as hostile metahumans. Preferably pyrokinetic.

He knows she'll be in there from the hospital encounter, but he wants to see if there's anything else on her. Any priors, metahuman associates, whatever.

That seems to be her first offense. Before that she appeared to be a law abiding citizen. A legal aid.

Wow, talk about a fall from grace.

Are there any psych reports? Indications of when she stopped doing legal aid work? Groups she was associating with worth noting?
