Grrl Power #1063 – Olé olé, olé olé…
Happy 4th of July. Enjoy the fireworks…
If you’re a henchman participating in an assault on a base of superheroes, you gotta figure there are some pretty good benefits and/or pay. Also there’s probably an extensive briefing beforehand, depending on how disposable the henchmen are, and how serious the organization is about success. I mean, it depends on what their goals are, really. But there’s only so much preparation you can do, and the briefing probably isn’t going to cover all possible encounters, especially stuff like “an IT guy’s girlfriend who it so happens can hack reality.” Body armor and IR goggles aren’t really going to help you with that anyway. Your best bet is to incapacitate as many people as possible to limit responses.
Honestly if I was going to assault a super base, my opening move would probably be knockout gas in the HVAC. Knock ’em down before they know they’re being swung on. Maybe someone from the red team here suggested that, but learned that Archon has detectors in the system that would trigger alarms and lock it down. Basically, I’d want to win as many fights as possible before even entering the building. It’s a question of their resources and prep time vs your own, and how expandable your resources are. Not sure what the average henchman mindset is, really, but they can’t all be thinking they’re going to come out of an assault like this unscathed. Well, maybe they’ve got some invincibility cocktail coursing through their veins. That is to say, a cocktail that makes them think they’re invincible. The Grrl-verse is still hard at work on super soldier serums.
The June Vote Incentive is still up. I got overambitious with the new one and it’s not finished yet, but I’m working on a stopgap pic that should be up soon…ish. In the meantime, there’s still a nude version of Sydney (and guest) over at the Patreon version.
Double res version will be posted over at Patreon. Feel free to contribute as much as you like.
This is the kind of situation where you use Plan Kiritsugu.

Alternately known as Plan Bolshevik Muppet.
Random thought. Why does Krona have ‘teleport object X outside door’ on her quick action? Or maybe it’s ‘Teleport object x by 5 feet’? Either way, why is it in her quick-action interface?
I originally assumed she swapped the grenade with its reflection in the glass door, in keeping with her conceptual reality warping powers, but looking again the distances don’t seem to match up
So she can get that nice parking spot
Same reason Leon flipped the red button as soon as he noticed all the internet was down. She’s received some emergency training classes.
Where as Arianna with her running into the hall on hearing the alarm … apparently skipped hers.
She doesn’t have a ‘teleport object X outside door’ macro – far too specific.
What she has is a ‘Return To Sender’ macro!
Far more useful! Bullets, shockwaves, shrapnel, enraged lobsters(1), all get returned to to sender at undiminished speed.
(1) during the epic battle against Count Thermidor during the final assault on Newberg.
What are the hexagons in the door? Were they out of LoS until now?
Since there are many people dumb enough to fail to notice a glass door and crush into it, it is common to “untransparent” such doors with stickers, so the broken noses record is kept under control. :D

Arthur Brown got superpowers? (Compare the album cover here): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RLG1ys2CGcI
I think the regulations and protocols are about to be updated.
Non-Combatants are to IMMEDIATLY take shelter in the nearest secure bunker room. These rooms are on every floor.
The breakrooms would probably be the best and easiest to secure, along with the Offices for every high-ranking military and civilian on base.
Just thought of this. Deus has figured out how to give people powers but can Krona?!
