Satellite Crash Event

Crash Landing | Salvage Party | Shocking Spectres


Questions | Keeliai | ARSHEPHELIOS


Salvage is sweet, but not all is well on board the ARSHEPHELIOS cluster. The seamless cylinders salvaged from debris and the cluster, now being frequently traded, turn out to be pods the first time one is penetrated or cracked open. Each breached pod releases a flood of energy-based apparitions hellbent on world domination -- or, more accurately, person domination (and it's not the fun kind).

These apparitions -- spectres, if you will -- are driven by a need to protect the technology of the satellite cluster that their pods are associated with. They will stop at nothing to see this through. Each is immune to physical attacks, but seem to be injured or dissipated entirely by things like electrical shock or other energy-based projections. If people touch them, there is also a brief window of vulnerability, but it acts also like a door that swings both way. Through contact, these spectres can and will invade one's psyche, take over their body and cause them to attack friend or foe alike! Should the possessed body be subjected to sufficient electrical shock, the possession should fade. Strong natural will can also drive the spectres out, but it is no walk in the park to do so. Possession is not the only tool in the arsenal, for these spectres use electricity as their main offensive weapon. They'll leave deep-tissue burns on anyone they fight, and show no degree of fatigue after constant use of it.

Ten thousand of these creatures will be freed from pods, resulting in a veritable flood of Keeliai, the turtleside, and the satellite cluster. With such a driven enemy, it comes down to killing or being killed.

Meanwhile, those taking shelter indoors may notice that the spectres will get into the biomechanical functions of Keeliai. Consoles will be malfunctioning during this time, with lines of mysterious code and strange, ghostly images. One might hear people screaming for help or hours of patchy radio static.

[He just lets out a relieved laugh that turns into a half-hiccup, and he holds his arm out for Jack to lean on him.]

I know. I'll drop you at the clinic - I want Sora to have a look at you, and then you're headed straight back to your freezer, all right?

Yeah.

[ It would take too much energy to argue even if Jack wasn't okay with the idea (and he's not aware enough of his surroundings and the long term repercussions of this plan to protest) so he grasps Kyle arm with one hand, the other automatically grasping on the ground for the staff before remembering it's not there and sagging into the hold. ]

Don't think I... can fly right now.

Look on the bright side. You get to fly with me.

[He picks Jack up, his grip light, so that the spirit can adjust himself if he feels uncomfortable and hovers in the air, preparing to increase speed once his passenger is ready.]
wintershepherd: (waiting)

[personal profile] wintershepherd 2013-06-02 01:50 pm (UTC)(link)
I'll write a whole entry in my diary for it.

[ He's barely cold, more like someone who's just stayed out in a cool rain for a little too long than the Spirit of Winter. He offers a gentle shush to the worried wind (it's okay, he's all right) and nods to show he's ready. ]

Hurry.

[ There were others that needed Kyle's help more than he did. ]

[He smiles, to put Jack at ease. He knows exactly how urgent the situation is.]

Did you know I can go Mach 10?

[He's speeding towards Earth Sector, as fast as he can.]
wintershepherd: (iceborn)

[personal profile] wintershepherd 2013-06-02 02:00 pm (UTC)(link)
Of course you can.

[ Because it's Kyle, who does everything and is a real hero, who goes around fixing the rest of them who keep breaking under pressure. (Like he had.) He feels like he barely had a chance to close his eyes before they're coming up on the clinic. ]
imaginate: ([lantern] noogie time punk)

[personal profile] imaginate 2013-06-02 02:02 pm (UTC)(link)
I'll race you when you're better, yeah?

[He shifts so that he can make eye contact with Jack, and his gaze says Look at me, it's gonna be okay, before he hands him to the nearest helper, ruffles his hair, and then heads out again. There's work to be done.]
