Event | Satellite | Spectres!
Characters: Any and all!
Date: May 23 - 26, 2013
Location: Keeliai, turtleside, ARSHEPHELIOS cluster remains
Situation: Repairs and salvage operations operating innocently have triggered an invasion of spectres that possess and wreak havoc upon all they see.
Warnings/Rating: Please put CW in your subject lines
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.

I'm not sorry about this.
Namely: him. On the attack. And he can't even gain enough control of his own body to stumble or throw the attack in some way.
Dick, he is so sorry.]
Me neither.
No. Nonono.
He makes his first mistake: he hesitates.]
c:<
He moves into the space created by Dick's hesitation--with no hesitation of his own.]
no subject
Reasoning with the body-snatcher... he could try it, but the shock was still muddying his brain. He needed time to think of a better strategy.]
no subject
He's already moving in for another attack, taking as much advantage of Dick's uncertainty as he can.]
no subject
[He's on the defensive, but he is vulnerable enough for Tim to get a hit in.]
no subject
Rather, the intruder knows, from rifling through Tim's memories of growing up watching him.]
no subject
He lands hard, but tries to roll backwards into a back handspring.]
no subject
no subject
Alright, the best he can probably do is knock Tim out. That would work, wouldn't it? Unless the spectre has a separate consciousness.
He has to try. He knows Tim wouldn't want to hurt anyone.
Time to pull out the eskrima, balance on the balls of his feet and charge forward. It's a feint-- he'll dodge to the side at the last moment, if he gets the chance.]
no subject
Of course, the intruder has other plans--and an annoying sense of self-preservation. Tim tries the 'information overload' trick again, hoping to keep it distracted so that it won't notice what Dick is doing until the last minute.
It works. By the time the intruder has managed to sort through all of the information, Dick is right there, and it's too late to mount even a perfunctory defense.]
no subject
But he makes his first mistake-- using a kick. Apparently he doesn't know about what physical contact will do.]
no subject
For the first time, Tim actually smiles--not a very nice smile--and just... lets the kick connect. It will hurt--but not as much as it will hurt Dick.]
no subject
No. No.
Tim needed him. His family, his friends, they needed him. He couldn't fall like this.]
no subject
Get Bruce before he can do any more damage.]
no subject
Of course, the spectre is banging around and trying to take him over instead of, you know, just using telepathy.
It takes almost a minute to push out the invader.
He puts as much distance between himself and Tim as he can, sorting through his options. There are really only two: run and get backup or try to knock Tim out again and risk possession. He's not sure he can fight the spectre off again.]
no subject
It's not looking good.]
no subject
Alright, plan b. Track the spectre from afar-- way afar-- and try to find help along the way. Maybe one of the Lanterns. Or Bruce.
Dick backs up, watching "Tim" warily. He doesn't want to turn his back. Escape route to the left-- he should be able to climb up the crates and leap for the windowsill.
But... a distraction would buy him time. Smokebomb? Smokebomb.]
no subject
Oh, to be Superman.
He waits for the smoke to dissipate enough, and then he's moving again. Keeping an eye out for Dick or anyone else who could stop him.]
no subject
But he hasn't given up, not by a long shot.]
