Searching for the Answers Part 1

After taking Hope, a new team member, to Homestead and showing her around, I went to downtown Millennium City to catch up with Wildthing to assist with scouting around the coordinates that Socrates gave that were suspect.
 
In reconnoitering the area, Wildthing was able to see some people on the roof of the tallest building in the area, equipped with body armor and helmets. I was able to sense encrypted radio chatter but was unable to break the code. Definitely more security than your standard office building.
 
Other team members made preparation and joined us downtown. Sandcrab and Wildthing came in through the underground, Hope, Runeforce, Cypher and me on the roofs of nearby buildings.
 
Sandcrab and Wildthing moved into the basement of the building and cut the cable to keep Algorithm from making another escape. Cypher began to do whatever it is he does and mumbling to himself. The rest of us held position on the buildings across the street. After disconnecting the building, Sandcrab and Wildthing moved up the building inside using the service elevator shaft until running into a security wall in the shaft. Sandcrab hacked the controls and opening the shaft, his awareness expanding into the area above. The floors above appearing to be data centers and offices, alternating each level. Sandcrab and Wildthing began to move up the shaft. After investigating the service elevator entrance first of the suspected
 
At this point, Cypher began acting a little more odd than normal. His speech pattern wasn’t right when he addressed Hope as the Supergirl wannabe, requesting to confirm if Socrates was at base. I haven’t known Cypher for long, but that just doesn’t seem right. Hope asked how she would do that, just use the earpiece? Cypher then requested to use Hope’s earpiece. Runeforce then asked over comms if Cypher was okay. But since Cypher could not hear him, I asked Cypher if he was okay. Cypher shook his head no, but said yes. At this point I sensed some odd electromagnetic aura around Cypher. I called Hope over to me to get her a bit further away from Cypher and told her to hold still and proceeded to shut down communications to Cypher with a blinding and deafening (and radio silencing) Arc Flash. The aura then left Cypher and retreated back to the building across the street.
 
At this point, the exterior group decided to move on the building, heading to the roof. Sandcrab shut down the forcefield in the building and proceeded to smash through the wall to the stairs. And bad guys showed up on the roof from the stairwell area.
