Max never really thought of himself as hero material before , even when he first put on the cheap outfit he made and became Amp . But now is the time to do some good , not for the city as a whole but for the little guy who just needs a helping hand . Using his powers of flight , the teenager rockets towards the little noname town further inland at his top speed . When he witnesses the devastation left in the storm ' s wake , he can ' t help but be saddened for a moment . These people ' s livelihoods are gone , swept away by some uncaring force of nature . Judging by the stop sign he has to dodge in midair , if he ' s not careful he ' s also going to lose something most likely his life . Ulysses isn ' t letting The Yard run rampant , even in the face of disaster . For the first real time The Technician has taken to the streets openly , loaded for bear as he keeps the peace with the help of his weapons and the still active CCTV cameras spread haphazardly across the neighborhood . Things are frantic , and he barely has a moment ' s rest while protecting stores and alleys from the worst of the looting . He ' d seen similar situations in his days as a spy , mass rioting being common in the area the technopath had been assigned to before his capture at the hands of the Federation .
