Finally in action with The TEAM!

How cool is this? I get to finally go into the field with the Team. And Chinatown even. So we got a call about one of the guys the Team met before acting all funny, like maybe he was being possessed or marionetted, or something. OK, let's go check it out, see what's up.
 
We arrive, and I quickly go Incognito...full Quantum Observer turned off, and I vanish from Sandcrab's Spacial Awareness, Wildthing's heartbeat Sense, sight, sound, etc. You know how things behave so differently in quantum physics depending on if the behavior is observed or not. Well, I found a way for remove "the observer" completely. All the Team can hear is me talking over comms. Pretty sweet. I don't think they know it but this is one of my first modifications to the EXO suit. I was able to tweak the Quantum Multiplication to allow me to actually slip between waves and particles, completely unobserved, and sort of phase in between all of these sensory wavelengths. A little compensation in the radio tech, and I can still communicate via radio waves. I truly believe that there is very little that we cannot do with Quantum Physics, and here I am proving it!
 
Kind of reminds me of that Invisible Boy in the movie Mystery Men...an oooold classic I dug up one time on Prime. No one paid any attention to him so much I could just disappear. This is like that without the comedy element. I can kind of "blind" the Quantum Observer, and if it can't sense, neither can anyone else. Friggin awesome that it works so well!
 
So I am out of sight and watching down the alley...there is a strange electrical mini-storm happening ahead. Fascinating. I wish I had some equipment here to study that thing! I am wondering if that has anything to do with Jasper's strange behavior. Or something to do with the location. Lots of strange stuff going on in these parts. Or is it something else totally unrelated? Who knows...but caution is warranted.
 
So, naturally, Ghost flies directly over to it.
 
Suddenly appearing out of the stormette, 3 flying drone gattling guns appear and start blasting away at Ghost. While I feel bad about that, I also am really glad I'm unobservable. The others are attacking the guns which makes sense, I think, but why are they here? What are they programmed to do and by who and why? If these are Destroyer drones, what is Destroyer's stake here? What is is he interested in enough to send resources? Does he specifically want the same things we want? Or is there something else? Could they just be here to investigate all the recent activity in the area? I think the Team wasn't really caught on camera or anything, but maybe someone or something somewhere documented the New Champs in action here and Dr. Dee has sent some drones to patrol?
 
Well if that's the case we just walked RIGHT into that, didn't we!
 
I shift the suit's energies (becoming observable again) and pump it up with quantum energy, and through a Quantum Reach punch...I'm like 30 meters away from one of those things, but this is not case in the quantum realm...Focusing on various possible outcomes, the suit quickly guides me in mind and body to find one that will work, so my punch lands from a distance without me actually touching it. Good thing, too, since it appears to have some kind of shielding that looks like it might sting a bit if I were to actually touch it! I don't think I hurt it much,. but I did knock it back a bit near the wall behind it. Cool.
 
Sandcrab does this cool thing where he grabs a bad guy and then just vanishes underground with him. Sweet move. And he did it again, grabbing a drone and digging down. He smashes it up a bit as he goes, but when he get below street level that dang thing explodes. I could hear the pain over comms! He's OK, right? He's just fine, yeah? Hope so. Sure he is...but man that blast was pretty big. It wrecked the ground all around there!
 
While the others make great progress on the drones as well, suddenly --again from the mini storm--a large humanoid robot steps into view, though clearly not fully tangible, as Ghosts quick swing at it passes right through. Crap, it's somehow out of phase too. How am I going to do anything about that?
 
Ah, maybe I can do something else useful other than attack it. I again shift quantum energy, directing power from the onboard storage into what I call "String Walking" where I also shift out of phase with the normal physical realms, still observable, but no longer affected by the physical world. The Destroid should have no problem seeing me, but should still be unable to harm me. I won't be able do much either, except jump up and down, yell, and wave my hands around...so that's what I do.
 
"Hey Destroid!! What did the robot have to do when his Uggs came off? He had to re-boot!" I yelled, taunting him. I am poised ready to dodge the imminent incoming flurry of attacks.
 
Well, in my head that is what I did. But in reality, it came our more like "Heyyyy!!! Uhhhh! Yoooo!!!!! Over Here!!!!"
 
Yeah, not as clever, but hey, I am still new at this. Be nice.
 
Everything happened so fast from there. People were obliterating what remained of the gun drones and attacking the Destroid. It seemed to be trying to acquire a target that was NOT me. Lil Rocket ran into the building to try to get to Jasper and get him to safety. Sandcrab flew up out of the ground and busted through the 3rd floor window (man, that dude is so cool, especially for an old guy!). And the Destroid went immediately to the same area. Yep, Jasper was the target...but why?
 
Sandcrab pitched Jasper out the window, and I leaped into action to catch him. Quantum reflexes charges, I bolted forward and innately calculated the most successful path to catch the babbling fool. Fly ball to left field...and he catches him! The crowd goes wild!!!
 
A quick hand-off to Ghost and she is off to the races to get him to safety. Pretty sweet coordination! Good thing Sandcrab and I practiced that a few times in the Danger Room already! He looked a little stressed that it might not actually work, though.
 
So the Team jumped in and blocked the Destroid from effectively following Ghost, and then is just took off, vanishing with the mini-storm below.
 
Sweet! First mission was a success! Time to find out what's wrong with Jasper and make sure Sandcrab is not hurt too badly from that explosion.
