...Squeeze.

Dinner. Dessert! Presents.

Presents!

A warning from her bot!

...Lorica goes and puts her helmet on to see what's up.

Screams! Lots of screams from inside another apartment building!

"Dad, Glam, got an attack in progress."

"Where?" she—they ask, costuming up.

Lorica relays the address and gets into the rest of her armor as Renée sighs and packs away the food for later.

Glam's already in costume then, and just waiting for Transit and Lorica.

(The screams have stopped, but as the bots go investigate in a bit more detail it becomes clear that all of the windows are boarded up and the doors are locked.)

"Dad, drop Glam off at HQ - bot'll path you to the building -"

So Charlie drops Glam off in HQ and then he and Lorica vanish again.

Glam: is dropped off!

The PRT has already been notified and is on its way.

And how would the PRT like her to play this?

Get Glam's help, Dauntless and Miss Militia are on their way, see what info she can gather without actually breaking in, and break in with bots once the officers and the other heroes are there.

"Glam, how's your bot supplementation doing?"

"As far as I know fine?"

"Supplement me some bots then."

Bots cloak - good early sunset - and approach the building.

And they're supplemented!

Good. What's to be seen about the building?

From the outside: boarded up windows, no one visible.

And then another scream comes from the inside, the blood-curling type one screams while they're being tortured.

Christ.

She's not breaking in but she can start investigating how to most easily do it.

The scream continues for a few more seconds then stops again and turns into helpless sobbing.

And there are Dauntless and Miss Militia on the latter's bike, followed by the PRT truck.

"Got what sounds like torture in progress, okay to go in? I can break in or Dad's here."

"Can your father aim inside? We got the building's layout to help him with that." They send her bot a file with a blueprint.

"Yeah, he can get in."

"Get your bots in to recon, first, it might be a trap."
