Pier 99

by Taki





Grip of the Mind Thieves, Chapter 9: Hot on the Trail!


Plot
| Feb 28, 2021


The Knights Vigilant survive Triple Trouble from Omni-Drones, the Golden Lotus, and the Disco Boys ... but the DiscoB Boys might be the key information source the team has been looking for!






 
We need to finish officially arresting these miscreants and we need to go to Pier 99 once they are in police custody.

 
The Disco Boy in the sparkly white clothes is "Zigzag" and is explaining some things to Moon Knight.

  • Disco Boy being a sparkly knockoff of John Travolta accuses Statesman of being a copy of Captain America!

Don't be silly! Compare the chins! Captain America shows his!

Sailor Bronze Tempest likes working with Moon Knight and Sahara, but still does not seem comfortable with my contribution to the team. Taki thinks that has something to do with not having met me in person before. But she does not plan on letting us meet in person any time soon! We are going to have to have a heavy conversation about that later.

 
Taki used typical stealth-operative techniques to get into the facility, pretending that she was delivering Halloween decor for the renovations reopening. I don't know if that fooled anybody but at least no one tried to stop her! Inside are some city workers who have been mesmerized, working on a diorama of the city.

Which is what I saw happening earlier.

I warn Statesman that there's an Omni-Drone lurking near the door where he is lurking. I have to do it quick. My best fast version is to tell him to do an area attack!

But he does not throw a bunch of balls. He moves away!

 
Sailor Bronze Tempest, still wearing her tiara and matching choker, goes to save the diorama. The mesmerized workers who haven't fallen asleep and one of the forklift Constructicons try to attack her!

 
Then the yellow Constructicon starts using six arms to throw bouncy balls like Statesman!

The code word for "duck" is now "Racquetball"!
