A Sinister Legacy [PART 2] [OPEN]

[astonishing_xmods]

WHO: Students and faculty of the Institute, plus some unfortunate SHIELD agents caught in the crossfire
WHAT: Sinster did something, ah... sinister... to Martha, and now the school security systems are attacking anyone and everyone that might interfere with his um... sinister... plans.
WHERE: The Institute
WHEN: STILL ON THE 25TH. TRUST US.
WARNING(S): Violence hooooo

As a reminder, there are THREE ways to be involved with this event:

1. Help the SHIELD agents on the front lawn survive against the school security systems! This will be combat heavy and will involve NPC assists from Nick Fury

2. Help protect other students, and those who can't fight, get to safe places! Not every section of the school is as automated as others and there are places that Sinister's infection of the security systems hasn't reached. This can be combat heavy or not at all, and will involve NPC assists from Storm

3. HELLIONS your girl No Girl needs help. Also the Professor and Logan. Your job is to head to the sublevels and break in to the most heavily secured area of the school and stop whatever is causing things to go haywire, and possibly stop Sinister himself from whatever he has planned. As usual, you will be assisted by Emma.

((Sorry.... I totally dropped the ball on this.))

Catherine eyed her for a second. "What are you do--." Ah... the boy stirred. Good. That fact alone meant that there might have been time to save him. Whatever else was going on? Could wait. Though she suspected that Alex was doing something to get them through.

Doubt clearing from her head, she turned her attention to Alex. "Yeah. I think there's lots of folks needing help. I'm going to break ahead. Maybe take a few of those shots off of yah." In the next instant her body took on a metallic hue. Some of the blasts were going to hurt, she knew, but a few of the physical ones would bounce right off of her, right? Hopefully.

Just a corner and a block to go, she kept reminding herself.

Oh for the love of... Alex sighed with resignation as he followed after Catherine, trying to keep the distance between them as short as possible. Flux happy humans and their ever shifting probabilities. Her going metallic presented a new set of variables... but it did mean he could prioritize the more robust aspects of the security. Let the little things through to bounce off her skin and focus on the ones that could actually blow holes in them.

"Just because I don't have a flashy power doesn't mean I need to be protected," Alex muttered as a he pushed a laser from 'functioning' to 'system failure'.
