==Abilities and Powers== Dispatch has the ability to create bubbles of accelerated time that can last as long as their inhabitants have oxygen, as well as enhanced strength and durability.<ref name="24.3 e1">Dispatch, vice-captain of the Houston Protectorate team, zipped over to a group of wounded with accelerated speed, only to seem to pause, as though he and his immediate surroundings were only video footage. Color and space distorted violently in an irregular area around him as he hung there, just an inch over the ground, one hand at his belt and another reaching for someone with intense burns.<br/><br/>A half-second later, the effect dissipated, and they were all moving. Dispatch was carrying one of the most wounded, gloves off and the sleeves of his costume pulled up, dried blood up to his elbows. Others were bandaged and sutured. His name, I knew, came from his ability to pick out targets in a fight, closing the distance to them and catching them in his temporal distortion effect. He’d have minutes or hours, however long it took the air within the effect to run out, to end the fight with his super strength, durability and the close confines of the bubble. To any observers, it appeared as though he’d won the fight in a heartbeat. Apparently the idea extended to medical care. - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2013/06/15/crushed-24-3/ Excerpt] from [[Crushed 24.3]]</ref> He can stagger his bubble manifestation to give himself superspeed, allowing him to rapidly move in the bubble before returning to real time.<ref name="24.4 e5">And behind me, as if they were feeling guilty, Exalt and Dispatch were giving chase, rapidly catching up. Dispatch moved in bursts of speed intersped{sic} [interspersed?] with moments where he ran at a normal pace, Exalt flew with Revel in his arms. - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2013/06/18 Excerpt] from [[Crushed 24.4]]</ref> In combat, he rushes to his targets and encloses himself with them in his bubbles, taking only a few seconds to "dispatch" them with the equivalent of minutes or hours inside. To outside observers, the bubbles he creates with his power are irregular areas of violent color and space distortion, obscuring the view inside,<ref name="24.3 e1"/> and out. Further anyone enclosed within is cut off from the outside world as most abilities can not breach the barrier his powers create;<ref name="24.4 e2"/> this allows him to provide areas for planning sessions, <ref name="24.4 e3">“Dispatch!” I called out. “Huddle!”<br/><br/>He reached the midst of our group, and his power surrounded us.<br/><br/>Silence, stillness. The buzz of my power at the periphery of my consciousness was a fraction of what it might otherwise be, limited to the bugs that crawled in the recesses of my costume. There was only the press of bodies, two dogs and all of the rest of us in an area smaller than my jail cell. - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2013/06/18 Excerpt] from [[Crushed 24.4]]</ref> and to provide emergency first aid.<ref name="24.3 e1"/> As stated time within the distortion is limited by the amount of oxygen present, Dispatch usually gets around this with dedicated portable tanks.<ref name="24.4c1"/> Presumably, he was placed on the Houston team due to the synergy his power had with Eidolon, giving the Trump more time to swap out powers he needed.<ref name="24.4 e4"/>
