Debriefing #6

So I see space worked out well for everyone...

After Tobi improved the efficiency of the second hand rocket you all obtained, it took three months to get out to Astroid 2.  Once there, Fred, Starshine and "Rainbow Dash" told you about how they sent a drone into the rift and lost contact with it.

Then you guys decided it would be a good idea to enter the rift.

Once inside, you found some Mindless Ones and Dormammu on a throne.  I'm sure he wasn't trying to denote anything at all with that one.

During the battle...Okay, really?  You expect me to believe this?  Chicken heads?  And wings?  Now I'm just hungry.

After beating up on Dormammu the Hungry, he started to close the rift.  It was apparently a close one for most of you, but luckily everyone returned back to Earth, where Dr. Strange removed the Chicken-y appendages.

Bardi and Mind's Eye got themselves an inter-dimensional phone call to Dr. Strange, and Bardi also got an anti-transmutation potion as well as an "awesome space plane."

Mission Log #6

Two things on the docket, so I'll get right to them:

Orange: Seems like some high-tech ammunitions have gone missing from a few "secret" locations.  I'll pass along War Machine's contact information so you can get some more information.
Red: The "Guardians of the Galaxy" have contacted us about a strange reading out past the asteroid belt.  I'd hit up some connections to try and get out to space.

Good luck.

Debriefing #5

I don't even know where to start with this, because the beginning does not do the utter ridiculousness justice.

But I guess that's the best place, so...

First, you go to the Savage Land.  Where you fight some raptors, some t-rexes, some pterodactyls... And then you meet a friendly group of people who really like soup.  And chocolate.

After that, you find a volcano lair.  I'm beginning to think that there's some very nice drugs you all are on that I'm not privy to, because guys in berets with tanks inside a volcano seems a little far fetched.

Beret Guy tells you to talk to the Kumquats who have a knocked out Sue Storm with them.  Lady Liberty takes the Invisible Woman back to the Baxter Building, and the rest of you follow a Kumquat down a rock, where you find some drug pushing Kiwis.

I'm beginning to think you all had the munchies, what with all this food...

Anyway.  So Tobi takes one of these pills (and, yeah, totally called the drug thing), and then...there's something with a disco ball and Tom Cruise.  And a secretary with a flame thrower. Seriously?  You expect me to believe all this happened?  These are official reports, and lying on them is grounds for termination.

At least some good came out this clusterfuck, since you found Mr. Fantastic, the Thing and the Kiwi Leader (and, no, I don't particularly care that they bleed green, but thank you for your attention to detail.  It will certainly help the next time I want to realistically cosplay Mr. Spock).

So then Nighthawk and Bardi find some strange medical facility and some portals and the Human Torch and there's mass destruction with a tank and, really, this is sounding more like a monster truck show than an official mission.

But at the end of the day, I suppose everyone did their job and I can't complain...too much.

Mission Log #5

Hey look! I learned how to use different fonts on this fancy machine!

On a much more serious note, here's this week's threat assessment:

There's just one, because it's kind of a big one.

Red: The Fantastic Four has gotten lost in the Savage Land.  I have no idea how, or why, or any of that fun stuff, but they need to be found.

If you can somehow get into the Baxter Building, then you'll be able to use their portal to the Savage Land and try to find them.

Debriefing #4

First things first, I suppose.

Lady Liberty has acquired the services of a lawyer to help with the acid problem, and that seems to be going fairly well.

Before admitting fault for the "attack" on Latveria, you all sent Dr. Doom a cease and desist letter.  I'm sure that would have worked wonderfully, though.

After the letter, you traveled to California to help mitigate Doom's threat.

Luckily, between EMP blasts and technology experts, you managed to diffuse the situation there.

Well.  Except for that one.  Because Living Laser.

Who is now living in Dr. Strange's guest bedroom.  What is with you guys and other people's guest bedrooms?!

While dropping off Dr. Strange's new house guest, he told you that the Mindless Ones were apparently in town to find new portal options.

Also, that Hydroman was being used for a giant supersoaker.  Totally would have ruled the streets on hot summer days with that.

After a slight diversion to a strip club (I'm sure I don't want to know...), Hydroman exploded at the sewage treatment plant.

Then, because apparently the goal is to raise the bar for productivity, you checked out the source of the thefts.

After putting a GPS in some jewelry, Mind's Eye managed to apprehend Pangari, obtaining a phase-y ally in the process after returning the stolen jewelry.

Oscar "obtained" some grappling hooks and Bardi got some C4.

Again, I'm sure everything will end well...

Mission Log #4

Welcome back.  There's a small matter of a lawsuit with regards to an acid attack in Times Square, and the threat assessments.

So without further ado, here's this week's threat assessments:
Yellow: There's been a string of thefts (jewelry and the like) from really rich people.  While it's not necessarily our type of crime, they'd probably pay pretty well to get their stuff back.
Yellow: Looks like Dr. Strange may have some information about what the Mindless Ones were doing here.  If you're curious, you can go talk to him.
Red: Dr. Doom has decided to attack the persons responsible for the "infiltration" of Latveria.  Which I wouldn't have a problem, but there's been quite a lot of collateral damage.  I'd recommend checking it out...

Debriefing #3

Everyone appears to have had quite the adventure...

For starters, Dr. Firebrain is in a secure SHIELD facility.

Then, you all talked to Dr. Strange and found out that there were five blacked out areas on the Orb of Agamotto.  You also found out that Living Laser is now on the West Coast.

Most of the buildings (two warehouses and three office buildings) had a whole lot of nothing in them.

The third one, though, had a portal to the Dark Dimension.

After fighting off some Muck Monsters ("Mindless Ones," apparently), Dormammu appeared.  With Dr. Strange's help, you all knocked Dormammu back to his proper place.

In less exciting news, supposedly Lady Liberty inflicted acid on some innocent bystanders in Times Square...

With the hard drives from the AIM warehouses and samples of the Mindless Ones, maybe we can figure out what they were doing here.

From a purely pedantic standpoint, the following happened (seriously.  These reports could be much more relevant...):
Mind's Eye made someone dance.
Tobi slit their throat.
Hydroman ran away to cry about evaporating.

Mission Log #3

Well.  Congratulations.  You've somehow managed to pull it off.  Dr. Doom has made an announcement that someone has taken responsibility for the attack on Latveria, and he's "graciously" no longer going to attack.

If only that was the end of our problems!  So, let's get to the Threat Assessment:

Yellow: Visit Dr. Strange and check out the Orb.
Red: Deal with Dr. Firebrain.  He can't stay with Tony Stark forever...

Debriefing #2

There's a lot for me to digest in these reports...

You're keeping a hostage in Tony Stark's guest bedroom?  Lady Liberty decided to steal some pay stubs?!  Oh, and the plan to deal with Dr. Doom is to frame a terrorist cell?

Let's see if I can track this...

You went to SHIELD, there were no details about the water, the scientist from Latveria escaped...

Well, I suppose that's all par for the course.

You checked out the arms dealers, found out the Living Laser was being harnest for a weapon, destroyed most of the cell (although the controller is out there, somewhere), and stole a harddrive to try and plant the Latveria attack on AIM.

Good work.  I guess.

Mission Log #2

Reports are back from SHIELD, so I'd advise meeting with them at some point.  Preliminary results indicate that the water sample was tainted with an unknown poison, based on some very sick interns after they drank it, and the prisoner is being less than cooperative.

With that out of the way, let's get to the threat assessments:

1. Yellow: Dr. Strange has found several areas that are blocked from the Orb, and he's asking for assistance in investigating them.
2. Red: That Agressive Inventive Machines group is still in operation.  Would be a good idea to try and take them out soon.
3. Red: Dr. Doom held a press conference, citing an unprovoked attack on Latveria.  Those responsible for the attack have approximately three days to come forward, or he "will be forced to seek retaliation on likely perpetrators until the real assailants step forward."  I'm sure that's not anything we need to be too concerned with...

Debriefing #1

So I've read your reports of what happened on Latveria...

Zombie-like people roaming the streets and thinking only about the water?  Good idea picking up a sample to bring back and analyze.

THEN, after infiltrating a water treatment plant, destroying some doombots and security guards, destroying some unknown chemicals and capturing a scientist:

SHIELD now has the water sample you took and the Scientist, but there's no telling if we'll actually get to find out what they know and Bardi got SHIELD to guarantee backup (how I'm not so sure).

Unfortunately, due to your adventures in Latveria, there's still that Aggressive Inventive Machines group to worry about... and someone should probably pay a visit to Dr. Strange...

Although, I'm sure your adventures over there are going to come back to bite us somehow.  I'll let you know if anything pops up.

Oscar was off in some undisclosed location, although I hear there's plenty of alcohol, but she should be back soon.

Mission Log #1

Greetings, newly recruited Heroes for Hire members!


I'm Misty Knight, and I'll be your immediate supervisor.  Which means you don't want to piss me off.  I know how to use this cybernetic limb.


At it's core, Heroes for Hire is an investigative agency.  The group dynamics tend to change based upon the mission, and we think your unique skill sets will be the best fit for threats against the world.  With the Avengers deciding they don't want to play with each other, we need to step up and make sure nothing too damaging happens.    

A few housekeeping notes, and then we'll get on with the Threat Assessments.

1. All major happenings will be recorded here, just in case you want to come back and check to formulate a course of action.
2. Remember that Night Nurse is available, because we don't actually have an insurance plan.

There are three Threat Assessment reports up for consideration: one yellow (low priority), one orange (medium priority) and one red (high priority):

1. Yellow: Dr. Strange has reported that the Orb of Agamotto is acting, well, strangely, but not to worry (too much), because he and Wong are working on it.  Might want to go poke around a bit, though, just in case.
2. Orange: There have been some reports of suspicious activity over in Latveria, which is something to keep an eye on, but a bit out of our jurisdiction.  And we don't exactly have access to a Quinjet.  Cramped commercial flights, though, might be an option.
3. Red: A new underground weapons shop called Aggressive Inventive Machines has popped up.  Looks a bit nefarious and should probably be checked out.
