    Background: Abigail Vale always knew she was different. For aslong as she can remember, she had an affinity for machines. Shecould make a television change channels by thinking about it,cause her parents car to shut off when she'd throw a tantrum, evenaccess test answers stored on the school servers by accessing acomputer in computer class.

    As she got older, she got involved in environmental activism. Sheespecially hated animal testing. She ended up running with a group

    of hackers who were targeting Palond Industries, who were doinga lot of testing involving Gorillas. After hacking into one of theirdatabases, she discovered they were conducting genetic experi-ments on them, and came up with a plan to rescue them.

    Organizing a raid with some eco-terrorists she knew, Vale helpedthem break into a secure facility. She discovered the Gorillas werebeing modified to be potential super soldiers for the military. Mostof them were too sick to rescue, but one stood out: a large, greenfurred Gorilla. When he spoke to her, she was amazed. She freedhim, and they fled the facility (but not before accessing informationon other secret projects Palond Industries was conducting).

    Palond wasn't pleased with her actions, and sent operatives fromPaladin Security (A Private Military Contractor subsidiary of PI)

    after her and her new friend. Erasing her existence from

    online databases, Abigail and Indar (the name the Gorilla tookfor himself) went underground.

    She set up a series of new identities for herself, and startedsifting through the data she had. After going through it all, shesaw PI for the corrupt entity it was. After laying low for a fewmonths, she started making plans to eradicate more of PI'sblack projects. Taking the codename of Binary, she and Indarnow wage a secret war on Palond Industries.

    Powers & Tactics

    Binary isn't a straight up fighter; her domain is informationwarfare. She knows how to manipulate computers and other

    machines, allowing her to quickly access data from encryp-tion, and spread it online. She is also able to cause problemswith computers and machines, causing them to freeze up andnot move. If she is attacked, she will rely on her partner Indarto handle opposition, while she makes a hasty retreat.

    Binary doesn't want to fight heroes, but she realizes that heractions (and PI's publicity machine) paint her out to be avillain. She will try and avoid confrontations with heroes, butrealizes she may run into them during one of her missions.Thankfully, she's got Indar to back her up if she does.

    Background: Indar is the result of genetic experimentation doneon him by Palond Industries. He was a normal Gorilla at one point,but using high end gene therapies on him, turned him into aprototype for a line of super soldiers. His intelligence was boostedto human levels, and he developed the ability to speak. His phy-

    sique was also boosted, so that he could leap farther than a normalGorilla, and was able to heal from wounds faster than normal. Hewas trained in using firearms, as well as basic hand to handtechniques. A weird side effect of the process was that his furturned green.

    He saw his fellow Gorillas suffering though. He was the only onethe therapies worked successfully, but for the others, they ended upwith terrible side effects. He lamenting that his enhancements camewith such a steep price. Then one night, his world changed forever.

    Abigail Vale and some eco-terrorists broke into the facility to rescuethem. The others were too sick to move, but Indar grabbed thischance for freedom. Stealing a prototype blaster rifle he had beentraining with, he went with Vale.

    After learning his enhancements was just one of many secretprojects PI was conducting, he agreed to assist her in shutting them

    down. After reading a web site on ancient mythology, he tookon the name of a minor Iranian war god. He felt it fitting, as hewas going to war with those that made him what he was.

    Laying low with Vale (who now called herself Binary), the twostudied the information she had taken from PI's database on

    other projects. They started planning, taking months to pre-pare. They started to practice their team work, figuring outeach others strength's and weaknesses. Once they felt ready,they started hitting PI secret facilities, escaping before PaladinSecurity forces could capture them. Even though the publicthinks them terrorists, Indar knows their cause is just. Hehopes that some day, the truth will come out, so he and Binarywill be shown for the heroes he believes they truly are.

    Powers & Tactics:

    Indar was engineered to be a warrior. All ready gifted withabove human strength & stamina, he can heal from woundsfaster, and leap farther than a normal Gorilla can. He wastrained to use firearms, so he's handy with them. His blaster

    rifle was one he used frequently, so he can use it to good effect.

    Typically, Indar will cover Binary while she uses her powers oncomputer systems or other machines. He will try to just keepopponents at bay, but if they don't back off, he will get moreaggressive. One of his favorite tactics is to hang upside downby his legs in the rafters, and shoot down on opponents withhis blaster rifle.

    Using Binary & Indar

    Binary & Indar focus all of their attention on corporations that harmthe environment, and perform testing on animals. While any corpo-ration that does this can face their wrath, Palond Industries is theirprimary target. While PI has done many great things to help people,

    there is a darker side to the corporation that the duo combatwhenever possible.

    This secret conflict between them and PI can bring in variousheroes with ties to the company (as they sponsor various high techheroes). Paladin Security, a Private Military Contractor & Palondsubsidiary company, is tasked with eliminating the duo. So far, alltheir efforts have been unsuccessful.

    The duo have ties to an Eco-Terrorist group known as The Swordof Gaia, and sometimes work in concert with them. Theyve alsoworked with the team known as The Others a few times. Adven-tures featuring these two groups could include Binary & Indar.

    The Trap

    Binary & Indar have found information about another one of PalondIndustries genetics labs, which is doing experimentation on moreapes to try and replicate the process that was used on Indar (whichBinary deleted from their databases so it couldn't be used on otherinnocent apes).

    What they don't know is that it is a trap set up by Paladin Security,the Palond PMC subsidiary. A team of PS operatives are waiting toambush them, along with Roughhouse, a hired metahuman. Hispowers make him a match for Indar physically, and the soldiersshould be enough to handle Binary (as she isn't a combatant).

    To keep from turning the situation into a major firefight, the PSpersonnel are using rubber bullets to subdue Binary., and to irritate

    Indar while Roughhouse deals with him. Since the trap is being laidon a Palond facility, they are within their rights to subdue them ifanyone (like the players) show up to investigate the situation. Thiscould lead to a three way fight, as Binary & Indar try and escape,Roughhouse and the security personnel try and capture them, withthe heroes caught in the middle.

    The Facility:The lab complex is situated on a block long complex owned byPalond Industries. It's an older research center, and was recentlyupgraded to match the genetics lab Indar was rescued from. Thereis minimal security in place publicly; Paladin Security has standardsecurity guards in place out in the open to keep up the pretense thatthis is just another one of Palond Industries research labs.

    The lab is set up to seal itself once Binary attempts to access a dataterminal. Once it does, Roughhouse and the troops will come out ofconcealment and try to subdue the duo.

    Paladin Security OperativesPrivate Military Thugs. There are approximately 20 of them, dividedinto two teams of ten men each. Due to the challenge Binary &Indar pose, these arent just any operatives; these are the best ofthe best. Each operative is a Henchman, and not a mook.

    RoughhouseThis metahuman backup for the Paladin Security troopsis nothing more than a super strong thug who likes to putthe hurt on people. Hes more powerful than Indar, so thePS operatives are mostly there to deal with Binary, andprovide backup for Roughhouse as he subdues Indar.

    Background:Howard Brooks was born with his powers. As a child,he had trouble controlling his great strength, and was unable toattend school because of it. It didnt take long for him to fall in withthe wrong crowd. He spent years moving up the ranks of theunderworld as a super powered leg breaker for hire.

    For a short time he worked as a super powered Bounty Hunter,working with the man known as Blaster. This led to him being hiredby Paladin Security, where he works as one of their metahumanTroubleshooters. The truth is, hes still a leg breaker, just a highpaid one now.

    Powers & Tactics:

    Roughhouse is a straight up brawler. He charges right in, fistsswinging at whatever opposition hes pointed at. He takes pleasurein inflicting pain on people for money. He will keep swinging unlesshe takes some serious damage in a short period of time. If thathappens, hell fall back, and let regular troops cover him withsuppressive fire.

    If the opposition includes someone with super strength, hell targetthem first. He loves a good brawl, and super strong foes means alot of things being used to smash each other.
