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.

Agreed. We'll cover more ground if we split up. Are you both equipped with enough tasers or electrified batarangs? I can ring up a few temporarily.

[He is tense, and taking charge.]

I saw her in Earth. But if she can teleport, she could go anywhere.

[But the thought of splitting up makes Dick tense.]

[Damian doesn't shift or change his position with Dick's tensing, but he doesn't miss a beat.]

We two do rooftops, you go above, Rayner. Check in every twenty minutes or so.

[Splitting, sure. Not complete split. He turns his head for a moment towards wood... then.]

She's moving towards the wreckage.

[Everybody issuing commands oops.]

[He listens, because he can follow orders, and because he trusts Damian's judgement.]

I will. Good luck.

[And with that, he's off, flying away.]
hackingyoursensors: (R • serious; we have a problem)

[He almost says 'be careful' as Kyle flies off, but it dies on his lips.]

[He then turns to Damian, trying to cover up his vulnerability as best he can.]


Lead the way.

[Damian, however, has a slightly different idea. He turns around to face the older boy, putting both hands on Grayson's shoulders, face set (it looks angry, as usual, but it's - worry, now.)]

Robin. Listen to me. This? This is what we do. Help people who're stuck in situations that are beyond them. We'll get your girlfriend back, and then we'll fix this place.

Understood?

[Damian's Pep Talks Suck: news at eleven.]

[Under normal circumstances he'd protest the "girlfriend" part, but he has bigger concerns.]

I know. [Deep breath.] I just-- bad memories. I'll be alright. Let's get going.

[Under normal circumstances, Damian wouldn't even try this.]

[He doesn't let go for another moment.]

I won't let anything happen to you again.

[Dick isn't sure what to say at first. He's not used to being comforted by someone younger than he is (though, to be fair, he's usually the youngest person in the room). But he can't help but smile. An actual, genuine smile, if a little small.]

"I know. And I've got your back too."
demon_brat: (Broody little bat (Robin))

[personal profile] demon_brat 2013-06-08 03:51 pm (UTC)(link)

I know. [Quietly, so quietly.] You're the one person who always does.

[And, of course, just like that, a moment after he says that, the littler Robin takes off.]

[Dick isn't sure how to reply to that, so he doesn't. But Damian probably doesn't need words to understand that it was a touching thing to say. Even if Dick's not sure Damian is entirely talking to him.]

[He follows after, still wary, still scared. But someone will catch him if he falls this time.]
