A couple of weeks pass. At our next meeting, Red Star and Mother Russia arrive and they are dressed differently. Red Star is now wearing black armor with a dragon on it, and is calling himself Nitro. Mother Russia is in a white costume and calls herself Spectral Spear. They think that these personas will work better with the public.
There have been several bank robberies by the so-called “Radio Marauders.” They wear helmets with speakers on the front, and backpacks with antennae. They are somehow able to cut off all radio signals and phones with this equipment. They use guns. They have stolen $300,000 in the past few weeks.
We get a call from Randolph. We go to the precienct and bring them donuts. He gives us a folder with some information. All of the robberies have the same MO — they show up in a black panel truck or limo. Usually 5-10 people. No pattern of target banks. They hold up the banks with pistols and Tommy guns. They knock out communications but can talk with each other somehow. They take cash and crowbar through safe deposit boxes. They have killed 2 cops so far.
At the telephone company we set up a signal that will go off when the banks lose communications and we can quickly go to catch them. Necros, Nitro and Spear stay there to monitor. Harry goes back to the base and tries to monitor from there. Nothing comes up, so he begins designing a device that will counteract the effects of their tech.
The second day, there is a signal at noon that the bank on 5th and 3rd is being robbed.
