Omegafriends, Episode 1: A Devious Deadline

It was a day like any other... but little did the Omegafriends know, disaster loomed on the horizon!

An Omeganet message cuts through the tranquil morning. On the other end, however, is no Omegafriend - it is none other than their sworn enemy, the genius scientist Dr. Devious!

"Greetings, Omegafools! I come to you bearing an ultimatum so simple that even your primitive brains should be able to comprehend it: If your precious Mayor doesn't surrender Venture City to me, then nothing awaits in the days to come save for doom and destruction! My latest creation has already been activated, and the means of Venture City's demise draws closer with each passing hour!"

"So which would you rather see: Venture City in ruins, or Venture City in control of the brilliant Dr. Devious? The choice is yours, fools!"

With a maniacal cackle, the transmission ends. Shortly afterwards, another one, this time from Protector, leader of the Omegafriends:

"It looks like Dr. Devious is up to her old diabolical tricks again! I don't know what she's planning, but we all need to be extra vigilant until we figure it out. No doubt another one of her crazy inventions is hidden somewhere in Venture City... I just hope we can find it before it's too late."

"Remember, so long as heroes stand together against evil, there is always hope. Protector out!"

"These are the coordinates. I will meet you there." The hunter replied, half expecting a trap. Coordinates were somewhere in the wilderness around venture city.

Samus was waiting for the person who had indicated interest. Though she wasn't waiting on the ground but up in a tree, sitting on a large, thicker branch. She was pretty weighty in the suit, so she knew better than to try something smaller.

He rode his bike partway there before dismounting and walking the rest of the way on foot. There was no obvious signs of weapons on him, and the only thing that might be big enough to carry a weapon was the messenger bag slung over his shoulder. That did not prove the case as he reached the area, took a look around and then found a place to sit and open the bag up. Instead of weapons, there were papers, which he flipped through until reaching a certain page. Pulling out a notebook, he started copying the information into the notebook.

Samus leaps down from above, landing heavily. She looks over at the man who has brought nothing but papers with him. She wasn't sure what help he could be considering she needed professional tools to handle repair details. She walked over to him before tapping a few buttons on her arm cannon before pulling her hand away. "Are you here to help me repair my X-Ray visor?" she asked.

He looked up, squinted a little and then nodded. The papers were shuffled together and shoved into the bag and the bag itself was closed before he stood up.

"Yes," he replied, his voice having a slight Japanese accent. "I suppose I am not what you expected."

"No," Was all the response he got. She adjusted on her feet before looking him over. She just seemed to stare at him for a while.

Then she spoke again, "Regardless, Creating an X-Ray sonar-esque system is rather complicated, but I mostly was going to appreciate if you had the technical talents to get some pieces in working order for me. You have technical talents and not just paper?"

"I have technical skills, yes. The paperwork is just something to pass the time."

Why show off? He knew he was skilled and he knew he can break a few rules of space/time with his skills. He just never understood why he would need to show off those skills. That was what got him involved in the mess back home.

"Well, figured you would bring tools if we were going to work on some equipment. Though to be honest I looked over all the missing pieces and I think I'm going to need a replacement more than anything. Earth is advanced enough for directional X-Rays correct? We'll need to acquire one of those machines. I can find the part I need from there I think."

Yes, the human has no idea of Earth's tech level.

"I always have my tools on me." Yes, there was a hint of an arrogant smile as he replied, a tilt of his head that just says 'of course'. What kind of technician would he be if he didn't have his tools on hand? They just weren't in the same field as he was.

But at the mentioning of what the Hunter needed, he frowned, tapping his fingers against his bottom lip. That might be a little bit of a challenge if they were to rely on this world's tech.

"They have them, however you are talking about expensive tech that is usually not common on this world. It can be found, but to get the parts you need, you may have to resort to stealing unless you can find some way to pay for the entire system.

Or you know someone who can build something similar."

"Well, I normally take contracts while I'm in the Galactic Federation. So I could doubtlessly find some funds for the method. Though this is for the project of finding Dr. Devious' transmitter. Sure we couldn't motivate someone by the prospect of a good cause and saving the town? Most people don't tend to hold back from that if their life is on the line. I just don't know the area at all. Once we have that, we can work together on fixing the X-Ray circuitry," She said. She paced a little while she talked. She seemed a bit fidgety when not in action.

"Most people are greedy in one form or another. The price might be something that you cannot get within a few days, even if there is one of a significant size here."

Even as he talked, he was scrolling through the pages on his smart phone, having inputted a search and seeing what he could find as a result.

"Luckily, it seems there is one on the university campus. Getting to it might prove difficult unless you know someone that can sneak us in."

"No, but a university seems like a good place to hide a bomb. Many separate buildings, large campus, lots of individual places to search which have many bizarre layouts. We might encourage them with the fact that their university is likely to be a target. I mean, a well educated population is key to progress and growth."

"That might be true, but you need to access the Dean and hope he is not an anti-super," Joji replied, tapped a few more links, bringing up the Dean on his phone and scrolling a little. "I'm sure that is something that needs to be done soon; school office hours are until five, and I cannot see those higher on the chain staying that long."

He wasn't sure what the staff would say. The Hunter... well, was an intimidating person in an outlandish suit and he looked like a slimmed down version of a biker gang hanger-on. The only other gear he could possibly wear to talk to the Dean was his version of a Rider suit and that wouldn't help at all.

She gave a slow nod over to him before rolling her shoulders. That was pretty obvious considering their size. She took a moment before looking over at him. "Well, I'm sure the university is used to dealing with heroes needing to research problems or get scientific research done. It's doubtless as long as we gave them a call first, we could probably talk to them without much issue. I am not well versed on American etiquette, so I think it may be wiser for you to make the call."

While she could go as a civilian, there goes the hero leverage. Plus she's intimidating even without the outlandish suit, being a muscular (Athletic and wiry) woman that is nearly 2 meters tall.

He wasn't either but Joji wasn't about to voice that as being a problem. He at least can talk science enough to pass as some kind of scholarly-like person despite the fact he was wearing steel-plated boots.

Well. Something close to steel-plated that is.

"Then I should give it a try," he said, turning a little as he phones up the university and exaggerates his accent and talks rapidly over a couple people until he gets to someone that knows something. It takes more than a few minutes to do so, unfortunately.

She could talk science like the best of them. Well, more the engineering side of things, but she would definitely look out of place with her speech. "Any luck?" She asked after a few moments. She was searching their website for the meantime for there any ins on this place other than calling key individuals.

He held up a hand, still talking rapidly but having to switch to Japanese for the next person he reached. After another minute he hung up, smiling.

"I found someone willing to let us in exchange for letting them look at a piece of equipment. You won't have to hand any of yours over if you don't want to; I have pieces that can be mocked up easily enough. We will need to be there within the next hour."

"All right, you lead the way. I think it'd be better for the person looking more normal to take the lead."

So the Hunter was probably going to stay inside the suit. Joji shook his head at the thought of leading the suited hero through the university but that was a different problem the Hunter would have to deal with later. Wordlessly, he headed back to his bike.

"Does that suit allow for speed or do you have a way to get to the university?"

"I'll meet you there," She replied. She flew into the air with a hard jump, thrusters on her boots boosting her into the air before curling up into a ball. After that she quickly bounced along in the air towards the destination. It looked odd, but she was moving up as well as forwards rather rapidly.

Oddly reminded of a certain Rider, Joji makes an amused snort and finally gets to his bike. Then he was speeding through the streets, easily maneuvering around such pitfalls as traffic jams and police with all the sense of a Rider and soon was pulling up to the university and parking. He took out of his saddlebags a rather odd looking camera and a visor, shoving them into his messenger bag and waits for Hunter to land.

She landed a few moments after him. Lacking the upgrades, she was slower than she'd like. She did notice his camera and visor, but doesn't mention it as she adjusts into a more professional position. "I'll just look like a body guard. You do the talking."

"I can do that," he replied even though he really wasn't sure that anyone would believe that.

He lead the way, going past the main entrance to the science building where a guy in a lab jacket was pacing in front of the doors. He jumps at their appearance and says something rapidly in Japanese which Joji answers , nodding at Hunter while he talks. A few more exchanges and then they were being led inside to a stairwell, and led downstairs, past a couple doors and then a large room marked with hazardous signs for radiation and x-ray. The man then stops and says something while holding out his hands.
