 Clearing the facility hadn't been difficult. Though it was the lack of any opposing force that was putting MG more and more on edge. To top it all off, the white noise was starting to give her a headache. the idea to switch to a playlist with the volume set loud had crossed her mind. But the chance of anything she was hearing being fucked up in translation wasn't worth the irritation. God she hated mind games. The fact that illusory effects were not taken seriously by a good chunk of supers was bad enough, the fact that there was very little in the way of psychic blocking tech outside of more cutting edge or hyper invasive tech didn't help much either. all fun and games until you couldn't trust your own senses. The slick feeling crawling across her skin was just sweat. [i]Nothing else.[/i]
The few times ID seemed to try and talk to MG were met with shakes of the head. The limited communications was a tactical nightmare.

While this was a research facility, and it was valuable for any number of reasons well above her pay grade, that wasn't going to stop her from planting plastic explosive in every room cleared as ID left said room. Nothing like a little C4 ready to make you feel a bit better. Granted, she already wanted to just leave and blow the place to hell. But [i]Noooooo.[/i] have to check the last room for  . . . . . whatever was in there. Speaking of-?

[center][color=7FFFD4][b]And cue the ominous music.[/b] [/color][/center]

. . . . Okay. Nora had seen a lot of shit. Before and during her time working with Menagerie. Powers were busted, tinkers are bullshit, esper's are just bullshit. You would think one would get used to it. Nope. Whatever was in the center of the room didn't make much sense on thermals and was making it feel like her brain needed to be itched. 

[color=7FFFD4][b]Ah. That's the-?[/b][/color] Nora didn't get the chance to finish the thought. While keeping an eye on ID's six, A word burned bright in the air lighting MG's thermals up. a flick across her HUD confirmed the rapid increase in the rooms temperature. 

[color=7FFFD4][b][i]FUCK.[/i][/b][/color]

Message received loud and fucking clear. 

Spinning on her heel. MG fell into a crouched position facing the door. The servos in her suit screamed as safeties were shut off and system warnings were flicked away. She bolted off in a dead sprint, heavy boots slamming into the ground as the Equal Brute Exoframe helped her fly down the corridors. Permafrost followed in her wake. Miniature glacier walls and sheets of ice ground out of the floor, walls and ceiling. crashing into each other to form bulkheads separating Nora from What was essentially a supernova in the shape of a pissed off Asian woman. She didn't dare slow down. With no sure way to tell how little time she had to spare, any turn she might have had to make was instead made with the help of curved ramps of ice and her boots spikes. All explosives were subsequently armed as they were passed. 

Skidding to a halt at the elevator, All she could see behind her was covered in white. Not good enough. The growing point of heat further into the facility heralded what was coming. MG had few options. Well, she had [i]one [/i]option. This was going to suck. She placed her hands to the ground and took a deep breath before sealing her suit off. Internal oxygen on and suit heaters turned on to max, She shut off thermals, not daring to open her eyes in case of any more mind games. the last thing she saw were the dangerously fluctuating vitals of ID on her HUD.

Ice bloomed outward and enveloped MG. It surged like it was alive, filling the room from corner to corner. But it wasn't just ice, but cold. Something well beyond the chill of Winter though. An unnatural stillness set in. Everything but Nora in the room just before the elevator was frozen into a truly immovable state. Total Molecular stillness the lab techs had called it. Naturally impossible of course outside of human intervention. Even with heaters on full, A numbness was already beginning to set in to Nora's extremities. Her world nothing but numb silence for as long as she could hold it. [color=7FFFD4][b]"Gods dammit you better make this quick before I freeze to death."[/b][/color] Her teeth didn't chitter only due to what heat her suit could provide and years of exposure training.
