ooc: A frozen news helicopter has just fallen out of the sky, crashing with a metallic thud through the roof of the broken down transit bus left in front of the homeless shelter. Ferine has used her Animal Mimicry power to mimic the strength of a bear to break the injured reporter and pilot and cameraman out of the wreckage.
When Ferine takes on the abilities of an animal, her stats will be "proportionate" between those of her normal stats and those of the animal mimicked. This may result in some of her stats dropping as she becomes more like the animal mimicked, and no stat increases will exceed a cap of Amazing rank. For example, Ferine's Fighting rank is Excellent, and a bear's Fighting rank is Good. As Ferine is a better than average Fighter, she'll be a better than average Fighting bear. But, as bears have worse vision than a typical human, her Intuition will drop by the amount of deviation between a "Typical" human and a normal bear. Bears have Poor Intuition, so Ferine's Intuition rank will drop -1CS and so on. Basically, if the mimicked animal's stat is better than Typical, and Ferine's normal stat is better than Typical, she'll get an increase in that stat relative to how much greater the animal's stat is over a normal "Typical" human, up to a cap of an Amazing stat. If the mimicked animal's stat is less than Typical, Ferine's normal stat will decrease in column shifts by that amount. Her Reason, Intuition, and Psyche will drop with most animals mimicked as she becomes more "animalistic." She retains her other powers (Heightened Senses, etc.) while mimicking an animal.
While tapping the bear totem spirits, Ferine's ability stats are as follows:
F - RM
A - EX
S - RM
E - AM
R - PR
I - IN
P - GD
In this form, Ferine can make Edged attacks with mimicked claws and teeth that do Strength +1CS damage, but said claws and teeth have a possibility of breaking (and doing damage to Ferine) when mauling objects or hapless victims protected by or composed of RM or better strength materials.
Ferine's normal Health and Karma are not changed.

Solo has just teleported himself, Shockwave, and Oldschool in front of the homeless shelter, and see Ferine, a slightly fuzzy / furry female wearing tribal garb ripping at the door of the news helicopter that is encrusted in ice and crashed atop the transit bus.
Elixir is in titanium form near a fire hydrant.
The winds are howling, and frosty. Drifts of snow are billowing down the street.
From the sky comes a thundering voice - Windchill's...
"Elixir! Give me the Kick or I will blow these buildings down on top of you! Give it to me now! I need it!"
For the moment, Windchill remains unseen, though his voice comes from high above.
=====
Arc and Vendetta are on their way to the homeless shelter via Paladin Institute cargo helicopter. The pilot notes that the winds are intense and hard to fly through as the Lower East Side is approached. The windows of the helicopter begin frosting up. He's going to loop around the "storm" and try to approach the homeless shelter from the southeast. It will take an additional two rounds to arrive.
ooc: declare actions and roll initiative. Ferine's action is already declared (breaking the passengers out of the frozen news helicopter)
