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 used a vacuum tube and a large power generator. Its range wasn't nearly as big as we'd need it to be to cover the city.

Let me worry about that.

[He'll think of a plan, he always does.]

Go talk to your friend. I'll scrounge up the materials need. Meet back here in an hour, okay? If I'm not here, don't wait up.

I'll try to find him.

[He has no idea where Wally is. Bruce might be able to do it, but, again, he has no idea where Bruce is either.

His eyes flicker for a moment to the door. He can do this.]

Hey.

[His tone is firm.]

You'll do great, okay?

[He feels a little embarrassed. He hates being easy to read.]

Yeah. I'll handle it.

[There are times when you just have to throw yourself into the fray, ready or not.]

[Jim smiles, encouraging.]

Okay. One hour from now. Don't be late.

[Robin stands at the door. He feels the beginnings of nervousness, but pushes it down this time. He has a mission.]

You've got it.

Good luck.

[And Jim cleans the table off and heads into the back of the shop so he can be off on his way.]
