aftermath highlights.

So you took a factory! Good job.

Fall out statistics are as follows:

• all guards/men with guns killed or got away
• 90-100 hostages, a small minority being locals, but the most of which were passengers on the 12th plane that went missing, and this includes Dr. Elizabeth Ross
• all except Betty were found in inhumane conditions, caged beneath the factory, near the laboratories
• they got the location of that plane from the guy they kidnapped the day before, which was a Chinese military base that was blanked out from satellites that was claimed to be a secret that SHIELD knew about
• immediate investigation will show that it's been bombed to the ground.

A general overview of the technology:

• legit pharmaceutical manufacturing machinery above ground level
• there's a whole chamber that inside team didn't approach before they got distracted that stores, basically, empty vats that one would use for waste disposal, and others for containment of chemicals
• the laboratory that Betty used is a basic set up for microbiology science
• the computer laboratory that Vision found is more elaborate, and I will get into describing key things in more detail over the next little while, as there's a lot to work through, but the highlights;
  • a machine that resembles an MRI machine, but seems to be a bizarre experimental(?) technology that utilises electromagnetism and seems to transmit signals/coded information rather than taking pictures of people
  • the tanks are filled with fluid that is mostly water, but contain some strange contaminates like nucleic fluid (both biological and analogous), proteins, and silicon traces of the same kind they've detected previously in people
  • there's also a rock, but who cares about rocks
  • the computers self-destructed either during or immediately after the attack. But maybe some of it can be salvaged.

Misc:

• you can find the third jet crashed in the desert, but the pilot is missing; one pilot found dead after Thor took out his plane; the other either got away or was captured if someone made a point to snag him.

Continuing Adventures in China

* SHIELD -- Coulson, anyway -- is letting the Avengers keep the rock.

* Speaking of the rock:
** Vision's suffering some minor damage to peripheral systems which he and Stark will repair over the next little while.
** Damage because Stark sat him down with the rock again.
** However Vision got a more clear understanding of what the rock was communicating.
** It apparently traveled through space utilizing some form of doors and sought a destination that could support life as indicated by flames and water. Flames could mean heat or oxygen. Water's a given. Vizh experienced the arrival.
** And a bit of their language: Klige van gvich. Ykly xuil.

* In other news, once the factory has been swept clean the Avengers (minus Rhodey, who is headed to Beijing to see how many people we made mad and look into missing planes) are headed for the mountains.
** Yurts! Camels! Snow! Coats!
** Someone should go find where that third plane went down and see if we can track the pilot.
** We'll be crawling around mountains looking for tunnels / dead zones on Sun, Feb 10 @ 8:00 PM CST.

Questions for GM:
* Going back before the first outbreaks in China's villages, have there been any recorded recent meteorite impacts in this area of the world? If so, any location on them?
* What can we make of the mystery machine that isn't an MRI in the time we had to study it?
* Anything salvaged from the computers before throwing them at SHIELD?
* Anything to data mine from recent journals, papers, talks on the subject of non-traditional, tailor-made viruses? Anyone throwing around the words Extremis virus?
* Can we find where the third plane went down and track the pilot?
