− | + | From Spark: There was a lot of collateral damage during the job. Where did the caper take place, and what was destroyed? | |
*During our first caper, we were raiding a pharmaceutical distribution center. It should have been easy. Steal the insulin and antibiotics to distribute to people that need it. Steal the little blue date pills and some other happy pills to sell on the black market so the team gets paid. There were just two rent-a-cops. But then some lousy hero showed up and next thing you know the place is on fire and the entire city's supply of like ten vital medications are up in smoke. | *During our first caper, we were raiding a pharmaceutical distribution center.

− | + | From Basher: You attracted all the wrong sorts of attention from people. Not fear, but hate. Who absolutely hates you and your alliance, and will do anything to stop them? | |
*A lot of medicine got destroyed in the Pharmageddon incident, and some of that expensive medicine came from Arcadia Pharmaceuticals. So now the head of Arcadia Pharmaceuticals, Lucas Hartwell, hates us. I know you're probably thinking "But didn't TACOS pin the blame on some of the most powerful supervillains in the entire city? So how would Mr. Hartwell know you were the real culprits?" Somehow, Hartwell found out that we were the ones who hit that pharmaceutical distribution center. | *A lot of medicine got destroyed in the Pharmageddon incident, and some of that expensive medicine came from Arcadia Pharmaceuticals.

* From Gloom: For some reason we stuck around with each other even after the job was done. Why? And how did we stay in contact? | * From Gloom: For some reason we stuck around with each other even after the job was done. Why? And how did we stay in contact? | ||
− | *We stuck around together because, in the wake of the Halcyon City Pharmageddon (as the media still refers to it, when it comes up) the city's supers banded together to hunt down the guilty parties... that is, us. Lacking the connections and resources to actually give ourselves an airtight hideout (because someone would've given us up, eventually), we decided to get the hell out of Dodge. While every hero with any healing ability was busy aiding those left without insulin and blood pressure medicine (and getting the best coverage ever), we managed to get trapped in the baggage | + | *We stuck around together because, in the wake of the Halcyon City Pharmapocalypse Pharmageddon (as the media still refers to it, when it comes up) the city's supers banded together to hunt down the guilty parties... that is, us.

− | + | From Mirrormask: We abducted someone really important, who knows our villain names and helped spread the word, inadvertently or not. Who was it? Why are they so important? | |
*Turns out one of those rent-a-cops was some mall-ninja, spec-ops-wannabe who runs one of the right-wing prepper channels on YT. In the middle of the media frenzy he made a video about the "terror the average citizen feels now that such violence is on the streets" and what kind of concealed weapons people should carry to protect themselves. Including mannequins made up as bad versions of, well, us! With name tags and everything! | *Turns out one of those rent-a-cops was some mall-ninja, spec-ops-wannabe who runs one of the right-wing prepper channels on YT.
