Ah, good.
I've rewritten the scene slightly, working appropriate lyrics in...
By this point, they had to know where we were headed, even if we didn't. So it was no surprise that there were a dozen soldiers waiting for us as we walked around a corner.
"Oh, no," moaned Hanson as a metal blast door closed behind us, cutting off our escape route.
As the Neo-Atlantis soldiers aimed their rifles at us, I gestured to the others. "Get behind me," I whispered. When I was in MegaTokyo, I was introduced to the idea of the "superhero". The Blue Blazer Irregulars helped me get a partial handle on the concept, mostly by letting me read some of their collections of serial-art stories. (They called those stories "comic books", but there wasn't anything comic about most of them.) I also picked up some interesting music the last week I was in MegaTokyo, including a Canadian song that was almost as old as I am. Putting the song together with the abilities of some of the "superheroes" seemed like the best choice here, both for the novelty value and to avoid using one of my more powerful songs on normals. I raised my voice to the level where my computer would definitely hear me. "System. Rubber Band Man. Play."
