Encounter 7:
Wanted - One Missing Bridge
All
"When you arrive at the Marina there is no sign of Stanislaus Bridge
nor the Island City Dream."
If the heroes ask around they can find out that Mr Bridge took the
yacht out early this morning on a test run and isn't due back until
later this afternoon. With a good roll, someone will remember that he
was with a "pretty Asian woman, obviously not Japanese because they're
the enemy and good old Mr Bridge would never deal with those Jap
bastards!"
Tsunami kidnapped Stanislaus Bridge and the crew of the Island City
Dream even before the newspapers arrived at the heroes homes. There are
no other clues here.

Encounter 8: The Mythical Man Metal
The QuikStop Mart on 7th and Allison Street.
All
"You walk into the QuikStop, a convenience store much like any other
convenience store that has of late sprung up all over Island City. A
sleepy clerk eyes you warily from behind the counter. Two or three last
minute shoppers wander the aisles."
There is no Metal Man super-hero, the Grapevine story being a ruse to
lure the heroes here. This is merely a test to see if the heroes can
decipher the clues. If asked, the clerk knows nothing about a Metal Man
super-hero, but he was given a note to pass on to anyone who inquired
about it:
Very good! So you *can*
read! But can you read between the lines? Why
not take a closer look at your newspaper? Hurry, time is running out!
A Detective (Clue Analysis) vs OV/RV 2 reveals some hidden marks on
each hero's newspaper. The following words are in 11 point Helvetica
(rather than the normal 12 point Helvetica): 12, miles, south, west,
race starting line.
