What Have You Done
With The Mayor?
The Situation
The mayor of Megalopolis is scheduled to make
a major announcement in the square outside of
City Hall. A crowd is gathering and TV cameras
are set up. If the heroes are friendly with the
mayor they’re invited to take seats at the front of
the crowd. If the heroes are not friendly with the
mayor or are unknown in this city, the heroes get
an anonymous tip that someone plans to attack the
mayor during this speech; presumably they’ll watch
from a distance. A handful of police stand around
the perimeter.

Scene 1
GREEN ZONE YELLOW ZONE RED ZONE
Mayor Rebecca Baldwin is behind a lectern, standing
on a riser in the public square just outside City
Hall, flanked by the Police Commissioner Dario
Anselmo. A crowd of people mills about, waiting
for her to begin speaking. She taps the microphone,
creating a whine of feedback across the PA system,
before launching into her speech. “Today —
cough — today I unveil the latest law enforcement
technology: Robotic police officers!”
A dozen semi-humanoid robots with police
markings smartly march out from under the riser,
turn towards the crowd, and salute in unison.
Police Commissioner Dario Anselmo applauds
enthusiastically. At the perimeter of the crowd, a
handful of uniformed human cops grumble quietly,
but continue scanning the crowd. Mayor Baldwin
continues her speech about how these robotic
officers will positively impact law enforcement in
the city. Then, everthing starts going wrong.
How the action starts depends on where the
heroes are. If they’re guests of honor, of the
robot cops attack the heroes, trying to grapple
them. If the heroes are far from Mayor Baldwin
all the robots begin “attacking” her, trying to bait
the heroes into revealing their locations. Once the
heroes do, of the robot cops turn their attention
to the heroes.
Regardless of where the heroes start, a swarm
of Skeeterbots emerge from storm sewers and
attempt to extract DNA from the heroes. Any
robot cops not attacking the heroes focus on
grabbing random members of the crowd, trying to
sow chaos and confusion. The heroes do not need
to fight these bots, as the human police on the
scene handle them. Describe the huge background
fight as human cops engage with robot cops!
always equals the number of heroes in a scene.
