Objectives Accomplished
I am trying to do a manual tie in to the AIM camera when I see the Golden Lotus preparing for an attack. One plays with his tattoos and pulls a hail storm and another one pulls a sword off his arm and then they along with a giant rhino into the building. One of the guys left behind notices my van and heads that way. I stay hidden and try to decide what to do as he gets closer and closer. I notice that there are occasional flashes of lightening in his storms and decide to try and get him to electrocute himself. I pull a spanner out of my kit, wait for the right moment, and then toss the spanner inside his storm clouds. It actually sticks to the back of his hand for a moment. He is startled for a brief second and then turns and fires a swarm of hail stones at me in a mass. I attempt to dodge, but I take a glancing blow to my side and it knocks me back into a brick wall.
I take a moment to just breathe because that HURTS! I scramble for a next step and all I can come up with is to apologize for experimenting on him without talking to him first and ask him where the storm comes from and how he controls it and and and. He calls me AIM which is so not true, but how do I convince him I am not? AHA! I cry.
He is super uncomfortable, so he talks. He tells me about Golden Lotus. Each group is a petal (such a poetic name for a group of evil) and their goal is to support the grand master and whatever he wants to do. They "help" neighborhoods in a give and take arrangement (protection racket) and take whatever steps deemed necessary to protect the neighborhoods who work with them. As part of the initiation into the Golden Lotus they meditate and the ink is applied to the screen. As they meditate, the ink flows into a pattern linked to their thoughts and those tattoos then give them power. For example, one of the people inside the AIM building now has a tattoo that allows him to call on the power of a volcano and he can superheat stone, turn it into lava, and bring down the building.
After he tells me about all of this, I ask for him contact info. He is curious as to why and then I tell him I would tell him about neighborhoods that might want to work with Golden Lotus so he finally give me his name: Zaphir Tarik. He then tells me that I really need to get into my van and leave the area. I agree with him and head to my van, get in, and chat with the group to tell them about the coming volcano and the city worker they have come to rescue while I slowly drive my van to an area out of his line of sight, but still close enough to support the team. I check to see if he notices me moving to a different area when I see three figures in gray and dark green with collapsible bow staves and hoods sneak inside behind the Zaphir. I quickly contact the team to let them know that more people have joined the party.
I have to go radio silent for a while and then when I log back in, I can hear Samaritan screaming! I ask for a sitrep and Feral tells me that Don is being hazed for adoption by a religious cult - not sure what that means, but I quickly work to log in to the cameras in the building. It finally works and I can see two floors - one with the team fighting in various areas. Feral in alone in a conference room with a can of whipped cream? Amethyst and Gravitar are in the server room deleting the data which was part of our mission, Medkit is in the ceiling with another individual that I do not recognize. I check on the fight between AIM and Golden Lotus in the entrance area and it looks like Golden Lotus might be winning the fight since AIM is only using gadgets and not any special abilities even though there are some in power armor and some cyber commandos in the fight.
I check for Samaritan and he is on a different floor with the hooded figures (religious cult anyone?) and it looks like a cryo lab, a nano tech lab, a biochemistry lab are on that floor. There is an AIM team going from room to room with a wide-angle energy beam. They might be searching for something? One is in full armor with two techs. The full armor dude looks like he is doing a scan with his hand at least once per room so I use my diagnostic gear to determine what type of scan that team is doing. Surprisingly it is to detect psychic abilities and the effect can range from a minor daze to full blown unconsciousness. I quickly confirm that Medkit is not on that floor and worry briefly about Don - will it impact him? I shrug and move on to see is there is anything on the cameras that the team might need to know about. I see a lone cyber commando just strolling in the north hallway - not in a panic at all. He is very close to Feral so I give her a head's up.
Then I see Amethyst and Gravitar coming towards me from a tunnel with giant drill tubes of some sort. They mention they need to have the information removed before they activate and I agree with them that activation of drills inside my van would be a bad idea. And then Medkit comes out of the tunnel with a person who has possibly been experimented on. I ask if he is a city worker (Golden Lotus anyone?), but he is apparently League of Shadows - who has a sample of the Lazarus water inside him. Great, now we will all be killed. Gravitas suggests we have Don mediate and he calls Don to ask for this. Don wants a urine sample. NOT IN MY VAN!
Feral finally arrives and we head out just before the authorities arrive to corral Golden Lotus and AIM. Objectives accomplished!

12:25 am - 02.10.2021The list of amazing people following the adventures of Adel.
Social
Birthplace
Kandor
Current Residence
Kandor on New Krypton
Contacts & Relations
Adel has a close relationship with Don Blake that formed shortly after his first visit to Kandor on New Krypton via the Quantum Leap project.
Through Don, Adel has become friends with the covert hero team of Wyldfire. On many occasions, she has provided assistance and backup when the team has needed some extra help for particularly tough problems.
She is quite away for the team's need to be secret and covert. Earth has, for her, been a basket of fascinating new things to learn... but she also sees just how dangers some humans can be. Hammer Empire, AIM, and many other threats exist. She takes them seriously. More than once, she has considered asking to more formally work as a member of Wyldfire.
Her views of the team vary depending on the person. But overall, her view of them are favorable.
On Don Blake
Don is her boyfriend. Such a relationship has its ups and downs, but Don is a delight in the world for her. She especially enjoys the special hot chocolate with whipped cream he makes for her on occasion as that is a drink unknown on New Krypton.
The revelation that he is half-human and half-atlantean was a nice surprise. Don has yet to take her on a visit to Atlantea, but she is looking forward to that.
On Feral
Feral is a hard-edged lady and Adel recognizes that. There is a lot of what Adel would term "Military Caste" in Feral. But Adel knows that Feral's last enounter with the close-minded leaders of the Kryptonian Military Caste went very badly. Therefore, she chooses not to use that phrase around Feral if she can help it. But Adel understands Feral's anger at the Military Caste, since she shares similar frustrations.
To Adel, Feral is a tough as nails, hard working tactician for Wyldfire. Also someone fighting her way through her own personal demons. Adel has been working to be a friend to Feral in some way.
On MedKit
As humans go, MedKit is a curiosity. On one hand, he is a highly skilled medical professional, with a keen intelligence rivals many of Adel's colleagues.
On the other, MedKit has an all too obsessed focus on the study of new species. A dangerous trait that Adel has seen other members of the New Krypton Science Caste exibit in the past ... much to their downfall.
She knows that MedKit has a mysterious past and is possibly the result of a human eugenics project.
On Amythyst
This man isn't a human. Adel is sure of this and not just because he weilds one of the lost Kryptonian Power Rings.
To date, Adel is certain Amythyst and his daughter are Kryptonians, but she isn't sure if they are from her dimension or another one. Yet, they have proven themselves dependable and reliable to Don. Amythyst has not shown in any way the "backward" obsession with maintaining the old "Kryptonian Way". Something she is relieved to know.
