XP Teams - X-Men, X-Force, X-Factor, and others

INTERROGATION:

Results post-questioning were mixed, but the gist seems to be that Dr. Henry McCoy has created a virus that allows mutants in close proximity to one another to share mutations. That's how the captive managed to acquire his peculiar set of powers. The process is apparently painful and there's no guarantee that either or both of the mutants involved will survive the process.

The captive utilized a lot of slang, the term Chimera came up a lot, which given the context of these stacking powers and strange combinations, explains some of what we've been seeing in the advertisements and hashtags #ChimeraElite, #EpicChimeraShowdown, #ChimeraBattle, and #SurgeChimera. From what he's said, a vast majority of these Chimeras have collectively decided to siege this metropolis just for funsies.

Dr. Henry McCoy has apparently offered some type of incredibly rare, highly valuable mutation to be stacked with the winner's other abilities. The idea seems to be that each Chimera will stake out a part of the city and then begin attempting to take over everyone else's.

We've got the names of as many participating Chimeras as the captive knew as well as the locations they're taking over as their own. Should be easy enough to avoid them.

SIT-REP:

Our location is secure for the time being. While the captive has one again been rendered unconscious, we have no idea how long that will last. Moving will be necessary shortly. We can't leave the captive behind for risk of him alerting others. He's already been flashing hot and cold in an effort to damage the bindings we've used to restrain him. From what we've seen so far, the virus isn't especially good at self-replicating, meaning that no one here or on the outside of McCoy's high rise lab has been exposed to live virus.

INFILTRATION:

After analyzing the situation, we've come to the conclusion that the only feasible response that will help end the anomaly here is stopping McCoy from further experimentation/development of the virus. Since it can't be spread from person to person effectively after it's burned itself out, destroying the source is our best option.

We have been surveilling McCoy's lab and, from what we've seen, all employees entering the building first move through an adjacent structure and come out the other side wearing hazmat suits. This seems to corroborate the captive's insistence that all he had to do was stand in the room with another mutant for a few minutes before the pain of stacking something new began.

The plan is as follows:

Daredevil: Overwatch
Namor: Aerial Scouting/Wrecking Ball/Shock & Awe
Bruiser: Drones/Ground Level Surveillance
Loa & Meggan: Medical Support/Bystander Intervention
Hawkeye & Magik: Taking Point/Scouting Interior/Vanguard

Step 1: Acquire hazmat suits.

From there, we get in, we find the right lab, we destroy the research and all viable samples, we get out.
