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.

WTF WHY DID I NEVER GET THIS NOTIF???

Tim didn't answer, though if he could have, he would have told Damian to do something--anything. Knock him out, or just... stop him. Somehow. But of course, he wasn't in control anymore. The being possessing him was moving his body efficiently to counter Damian, but his face was utterly expressionless.

In short--it wasn't their typical fight. Usually when they fought, Tim was pissed. And speaking.

SILLY NOTIFS!

Of course, though, it didn't help that it was Damian's usual mode of fight. His preferred kind of fight. So he rolled with it, fighting back as best as fighting against kedan for many months had made him.

But he watched, too, eyes narrowed behind the mask. What was Drake's objective? What was he doing?
mrsarcastic003: (Tim Schools Damian)

IKR??

His objective? Taking you down, Damian. As quickly as possible, so that he could move on. It wasn't that complicated. As he fought, he looked constantly for holes in Damian's defenses, looking for a way to end this and move on.
demon_brat: (Refuse to accept (Robin))

Yessss

[personal profile] demon_brat 2013-06-07 08:00 pm (UTC)(link)
Yes, well. It only took a very short time before Damian realized this was in serious, and getting him down wasn't very easy.

And then it hit him, with a slight off-ness in the defensive that Red Robin was showing. This wasn't Drake. His teeth glinted in a dark, dark grin.

"Oh, you're not going to thank me for this one, Drake."

And then the taser was forthcoming. Ramped up recklessly.
mrsarcastic003: (Red Robin Oh Crap)

This is excellent.

Well, really, that depended on how you looked at things. In some ways, Tim really would thank him for this--though maybe not for the taser burn.

It connected--Damian was good, and Tim felt a moment of hope that it would work and the spectre would be expelled. If that meant a bit of a burn for him? He was okay with that.

But it wasn't enough. He reeled, backing several steps away from Damian. Then he turned to run. This one knew how to fight them--and since the initial shock hadn't worked, he'd surely ramp it up, and the spectre wouldn't be able to hold on through a second shock.

It would be back later. Try to catch him by surprise.
demon_brat: (Grace (Robin))

YAY! Poor Tim.

Of course Damian set off in pursuit. Father would not have permitted any other option, though he didn't have time to crank up the taser.

He wouldn't give up on this chase easily, either.

But he did use his communicator to call Father. Because Batman would want to know about this. Especially if the creature got away from Robin.
