Altermind had been impressed by Strongsteel and Mare, now he wondered what Panacea could do. The name sounded vaguely familiar, like something from his biology or health class in high school. "I healed a kid with a paper cut outside your territory—that's not all I can do, of course, but since you're an Epic it wouldn't work on you….um…." Panacea said. One of Altermind's guards walked by just then, one with a bandage around his upper arm. Scorch, in one of his moods, had thrown a fireball that had grazed this guard the other day. Panacea noticed him too and her eyes widened as she spoke to him with a level of respect that wasn't often heard from Epics to humans. "Excuse me, sir," she called. The guard raised his head in surprise. "Are you injured?" The guard saw her stare at him with a wide grin on her face. He was scared. Humans never knew what Epics would do. "Just a burn. It's healing all right," he responded. As Altermind watched, Panacea grew more and more anxious to go to him. She kept stepping towards him and he kept stepping away. "Just let me fix it. I can make it better," she said. The guard finally turned and ran away. Panacea ran and chased him. She drug him back into the room, arm healed of all burns. Altermind nodded slowly in appreciation of her abilities. He remembered now what the word meant. Panacea was a remedy for all diseases. A fitting name for a healing Epic. "See? I fixed him!" The healer said to Altermind. He had to admit, while her unnatural compulsion to heal made him uncomfortable, her powers would be very useful. "I do see. Thank you very much," Altermind replied. "I can also enhance the strength of anything I touch, the steel I create could withstand another Hiroshima," Strongsteel bragged to Altermind. Altermind noticed that he had a bit of an ego, but he cut himself off, so he had some reign over his ego. An Epic that could strengthen materials as well as cover them in steel? A very useful Epic for defense. "So, now you've seen what we can do, ground rules. Pan and I don't kill. We'll protect and heal your troops but if you want someone to execute your enemies you'd best look elsewhere. Oh, and if you're as clever as your reputation you'll avoid hurting anyone in front of Pan too. So now you know what we can offer, what can you offer us?" Strongsteel continued. Altermind wouldn't have used a healer or steel Epic for attack purposes anyways, it wouldn't do much. "No killing. I accept that term. Panacea, if we have to engage in battle, can you refrain from healing the enemies? If not, we'll need to discuss how to work together," said Altermind. "Mare, you'll help us defend against enemies won't you?" He asked. The Native American Epic nodded, her faint smile disappearing for a moment. "If I am needed for a fight, I will lend my aid. I will not attack for reasons of gaining territory or money," the woman said. Altermind could work with that. He didn't need territory and money was easy when one was an Epic. "As for what I can offer you, I can give you room and board. I can give you food and provisions. If you desire tools or weapons, such can be provided. If you keep this city intact enough for me to continue to rule, I will grant you each a portion and a high position of rule and power in the city," Altermind offered. These three Epics would be very useful in the war that was sure to come. Now, his soldiers had a high chance of survival and wouldn't die from endless zombie dinosaurs.

Are those horns? It's hard to tell. I like it though. With the description of what I said he wears, I half thought the pony was going to have a bear skin draped over him. thanks! When will we find out about this mysterious Project Amber anyways? Cool! I really like it, but yeah, the cutie mark could be better.Edit: and Voidus, what do you want to do with SS and Chi?

Hey, does anyone want to make a pony for Chi or Mare? I'm interested to see what it'd look like, especially Chi's. Koschei and evil healer? Woah. Kobold, I like Chicago Joe.

Good so I really did earn the turn. Mail-mi, no.

When he was talking with Dalinar in WoK and he mentioned Adonalsium? That's the scene I thought of. Exiting at the perfect moment.

Altermind watched from the side as the man, Strongsteel, introduced himself, "Hello Altermind, I'm Strongsteel, this is my companion Panacea." It could be strange, watching your life from the side like this, but Altermind had done it so often, it was almost second nature. Strongsteel continued, "And this is Mare, though we only met her outside your perimeter. Pan and I would like to ally with you for the time being, we both have strong support powers." He then encased a portion of the floor in steel. That could be very useful. "We'll make sure that you still have a city to rule once this is over," Strongsteel finished. "Well then," Altermind said through his hallucination, "I would like to keep things like this. You could be very useful. Is covering things in steel your only power or do you have additional ones?" Powers like that usually came with others, sometimes similar, other times, not so similar. Altermind looked at the women in turn. "Panacea, Mare, what do you have to offer me?" The darker woman, Mare, stepped forward a bit and looked straight into the hallucination's eyes. "This," she said. Altermind noticed her eyes grew darker, not in a sense of color, but in a sense of evilness. It wasn't a lot, but he noticed it. Mare's shadow suddenly stretched and a part snapped off, similar to how water reacted, and formed into a three-dimensional horse. "This is a Shadow Mare," the shadow Epic said. "I can control her and her density. She can become pure shadow, impervious to everything except light, or as tangible as a real horse." The mare opened its mouth, revealing a set of sharp fangs. Altermind grinned, keeping his Hallucination with a straight face. Those horses could help immensely in a battle. Mare continued, "I can make about a dozen at once." She stepped back again and her horse melted back into her shadow.

I'll check out that doc tomorrow. That's always a good idea. Altermind post is up now.

Ooh I need a good one for that RP.

Oh yeah. XD. I'm not thinking things through very well right now.

True. They do. I'm really just trying to figure out how Altermind can cheat Streetwise's powers.

Okay, I'll get that up soon. Interesting. What about a motorcycle with gravitonics?

So, yes, Araris or Willa can be proven clean.

Oh okay. Can we get clarification to be sure? Oh, if his didn't, then we narrow the clean possibilities down to Satrams as well as Willa or Araris.

Hmm, so, Altermind would need to decide between Murphy's powers and Streetwise's. If Murphy made a trip to the museum or if TT was raised, I'm betting it comes crashing down. Aerial battles would be cool though. Only Altermind wouldn't trust Funtimes enough to keep the building in the air. If he did ask, it'd be for one building where they would have the private, important meetings. So he has to focus somewhere? If CorpseMaker told him to listen to Altermind, he could, no matter where he is? What if he leaves the city?Edit: Twi, do you want Pan to go next, or Mare?

Oh. I should read all the metals powers again. Edit: No, Steel feelings get to view the votes 12 hours early.

Bart, do we not get a tally of who voted? Edit: So, Willa or Araris is also possibly clean. And Satrams can't continue to be trusted because he could be taken over this night cycle.

If he knew about Streetwise and his powers, he would definitely.

Well, I'm glad we didn't lose anyone and cleared Satrams as well. We couldn't have had a much better result.

Hoid?

So, they would be willing to work with Max on this? Can Funtimes raise Thoughttown into the air too? Joe, how limited are his powers? If people on the top floor of a building are talking can Streetwise hear?

You just said their original body would be dead. Which is what I meant. Lucky was originally a kandra. And Aonar, I agree with your plan.

So now that that's clarified, Lucky is a possibility for being kandra. Kandra can't have metal powers, right? So that would mean Meta is cleared. We now need to think about who Lucky couldve infiltrated.
