"I do, actually."  One of the numerous screens popped up with a badly-drawn diagram of a suit of powered armor.  "I'm going to need a fair amount of depleted implausium for one of my new designs.  I'm meeting with Lord Trepian tomorrow morning, and I'll need some sort of backup."<br/><br/>Implausium, a highly valuable material known for its military applications, was only known to be found in any quantity in and around sunken Atlantis.  'Lord' Trepian was a mutant Atlantean whose dissident forces had been at odds with the rightful rulers of Atlantis for years.<br/><br/>Of course, surface reporters couldn't often bring back reliable information from under the sea, so it was hard to say how justified Trepian's rebellion really was -- but since he sold implausium to villains like Dr. Omega and generally acted like a jerk, most people pretty much assumed he was the bad guy.  In any case, few supervillainous leaders would dare to show up to any sort of meeting without some sort of muscle at their backs.<br/><br/>"Just between you and me," the doctor added, more quietly, "he doesn't usually seem very impressed with the ninjas.  We can fab you a different costume if you'd rather no one know you're working for me -- anything unique is fine."
