Arrivals in Symkaria (all Heirs and their escorts)
Just before they got near Symkarian airspace, they'd gotten a message from Vernard that he and his brother would be going. Another point in the 'Nazi Trap!' column.

And again they answer a few basic questions from SHIELD before they're even allowed past those border checks.

Eventually, they're in. Giovanna's hand hangs onto Andrew's arm in a girlfriendly fashion. The better to shock him at an instant's notice.

Symkaria's cleanup look like it's going very well.

	Nicolai will be met with a bit of "Well, why do you want that, sir?" when he asks about the guests' weapons. The apparent 'confusion' will go on for quite a few minutes, until all the representatives are filed into a larger room, and 'Silver Sable' comes in, with various guards. "Thank you all so much for coming," she says as the doors start to close. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	Andrew takes a seat as far away from anyone wearing metal as he can, but otherwise tries not to stand out terribly amidst the more distinctive guests. "Thank you very much for hosting this gathering to discuss our mutual concerns." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Kelly stays near Nicolai. He's the boss. She doesn't bother to take a seat, pulling bodyguard duty - and quite willing to catch some bullets if it comes to that. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Nicolai sat down after dealing with the weapons issue. He did have one advantage that no one in the room but Bea and if that was really his mother would know about, his hypnotic gaze. As soon as he caught the gaze of the people he was dealing with and he did not feel like he could use his gaze he knew they were not human. However he didn’t do anything just yet it was still too early and there were questions that he wanted answered that might be answered if they started this up now.

He takes his seat trying to catch his /mother's/ gaze to see if she was the same.

	Akilah took her seat, apparently calm and relaxed. However, she was prepared at any moment to go on the defensive, and then direct a counterattack. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"You are welcome. We certainly hope that this meeting can help bring an end to all this nonsense. Those paying close attention might notice 'Silver's' eyes carefully catch one corner of the room which looks perfectly bare at first glance. As she speaks, the helmeted guards fan more around the entire room, close to the guests. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	/And here we go.../ Vincent thinks to himself, flexing his fingers as the guards fan out. A lightning spell settles in his mind and his eyes settle on Andrew, waiting for either shooting to start, or any kind of signal. (He's had a slightly less than optimal history of determining when to shoot first himself.) (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Kassia noticed the guards and watched Vincent flex his fingers. She carefully adjusted her posture to make sure that the metal in her attire had minimal contact to her skin. If she had to snap something into place, clawing her own flesh to do so would suck. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Bea could tell the guards weren't human, but before she had a chance to discreetly tell Nicolai, she knew he'd figured it out, too.

And, just after the soldiers have repositioned, the Realization hits.
Self-destruct mechanisms within the 'people' are coordinating, mere instants before detonation.

"BOMBS!" Bea, says, reaching to drag Nicolai with her under the table

	The sudden tackle took Marrina by surprise, but she made no effort to resist, only throwing her arms out to keep the fall from being too hard. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Nicolai swears loudly in Symkarian as Bea drags hin under that table. A perfectly reasonable reaction with a lot of bombs about to go off. But he was fairly certain someone was getting a raise after this. He hopes the other can take action to defend themselves fast. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	The Hood takes the cue and whispers the incantation for her latest spell, wrapping her cloak about herself and reaching out to Kelly. The two of them become intangible as she sees that Bumbly-Bea has dragged Nicolai under the table. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Kristoff hears the young lady immediately, and since he was focusing triggers the retrieval on his gauntlets, and therefore for the maintaining his armor's forcefield, even as as he ducks to a crouch. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Giovanna had been on edge and reacts immediately; she had barely been keeping the charge out of her hands as as they came in and sat down, and she'll start shocking him as she nevertheless tries to pull him down. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Seeing Kristoff move under the table, Vincent heads there as well, activating a charge on one of his rings. "Valeria!" A wall of force billows forth from the ring. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

The explosion of Silver sable and several other robots comes soon, and when it does, the table will certainly be ruined as a functioning table, and some of the people under it will be very uncomfortable, but between one thing and another and a little luck, no injuries are serious.

Just as the dust settles, the guard robots who'd been on the other side of the doors come in.

Bea already couldn't imagine how sore she was going to be tomorrow. And it was already going to get worse. One really can't see anything under the ruined table, but she knows where her cousin-once-removed is anyway, and the first thing she does is pull the taser out of her gear, reach out to where she knows his skin and no one else's to be, and give him another good shock.

"Thank you, Daniel." She glanced at him and smiled, and then stood up from her seat and faced the guards running in from the door. Shocking Andrew wasn't her first priority. Instead, Akilah moved out of the shield Daniel had made and fired off a wide arc of electricity at the incoming guards. All the better to give her allies of the moment some time to compose themselves.

Vincent manages to get to his feet, Andrew now providing a conveniently increasingly large target for a spell.

He points a mostly open hand, fingers poised as if gripping something, at Andrew. "Fulgus contingo!" An electric charge builds up around his body, then spews for, forming a larger vision of the hand in midair and then grabbing onto Andrew, focusing the attack away from any bystanders.

He raises his other hand to target the guard robots once this spell is concluded.
