Energy Fragments by the Dozen!!

by Axiom Hadrian Avner Foster

Axiom enters the park and finds his containment box waiting for him. He goes over to the first fragment and then reaches with his TK to bring the box to him. He finds that being in close proximity to the energy fragments drains away some of his personal energy. He decides to hide underground, hopefully away from the effects of the drain. The box is heavy and requires a lot of effort from him to keep bringing it along, but he keeps up the capture of the spheres!
 
Unbeknownst to him, Blue Devil, Crimson Cyclist and International Terrorist have also entered the park and are busy scooping up fragments as well.
 
He keeps getting reports from the other IERA agents on site and hears about the dangers represented by these unstable fragments as well! The agents figure out that having a 4 stream assault on the fragments has the effect of putting them into a neutral state! Good to know. Unfortunately some civilians were lost into the ether as well. Perhaps they are going back to The Hollow?? This could be dangerous as a low energy way to vanish peoples, he will put that into his report as well!!
 
He is doing well in gathering the fragments while safely underground. He's gathered roughly 7 fragments when he comes above ground to look around the area for the next biggest concentration of these items. Then he hears it, the unmistakable sound of the Crimson Cyclist's noisy motorcycle! He checks in with the guys manning the VTOL jets as to what they are seeing. "Uh... roger that Sir Axiom, we've just spotted the terrorist known as Honey Badger, a red Biker Chick and a Blue suited guy all attacking each other!! What orders do you have??"
 
'Seriously,' he thinks to himself, a known terrorist and two supers that have been in his reports for weeks now and they don't know what to do??? Hiding the frustration in his thoughts he tells them "Engage these supers and take them out, use lethal force as they are quite tough!!" The agents comply but first they make their presence known, Axiom rolls his eyes. In the meantime, he grabs his box of fragments and hides them underground in case any of this faction are trying to steal his!! Come to think of it, if Crimson Cyclist and International Terrorist are working together, they must be in the same faction!! Obviously Blue Devil is not if they are fighting!!
 
He tunnels over towards the fracas and observes what is happening. Once the agents have knocked out the two supers, the IT has escaped custody, Axiom retrieves his unit and gathers up as many of the remaining fragments as he can. 'Looks like I could have 20 of the dang things!! Woot'.
 
He gets onto the intercom and tells his team not to kill these supers, maybe we can get information about them or their factions that we can put to good use! So Blue Devil and Crimson cyclist are taken into custody. Overall, today was a good haul!!
