OOC NOTES: This is a starter log to help kick off the event. Feel free to use or post your own!

The transport process isn’t a fun one. Captured Metas are outfitted with power-nullifying handcuffs and collars, chained into the back of a heavily armored prison transport vehicle. Normally there’s a huge procession that goes alone with this: more back up vehicles, overhead support, government loyal metals in every vehicle. But this rush of new arrivals has pushed the system to its limits- there’s never been a need to accommodate more than a specific number of known Metas. It has the guards in the vehicles on edge, jumpy as they try to navigate through the City without the usual back up. And it’s a strain the resistance is more than ready to push to the breaking point.

In addition to transporting new arrivals to their reprogramming, there are the already-present Meta prisoners that must still be shuffled around, causing a mix of old and new in the vehicles. And irresistible targets for liberation for the resistance groups. When the transport is hit, which will the new Metas side with? Your captors you may still be able to gain a comfortable life working with? Or the rebellion fighting their way into the vehicle?

There's always a lot at stake when Bart faces off with the resistance, but at least he knows that Barbara isn't actually trying to eliminate him. Her warning has him dropping, rolling to one side to try and find out who did what, even as the projectiles slam into one of the armored transports in his stead. He can't reply, since he's got an open channel with his government team, but he can trust they're still working towards the same goals.

They're playing cat and mouse, most of the time, Bart isn't sure who is what role. Today, for example, he knows the real mission is buying the resistance some time to relieve the transports of as many of the new metas as possible. And possibly some of the older transfers. People who are too valuable to be left in government hands. But he has to actually do his job as security, at least well enough to look like he's trying.
