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.

Good idea. Everything happened so fast, I wasn't even sure if I was seeing it right. Here I thought the crashlanding was the worst part.
no subject
Are you kidding? It never stops at the crash landing.
[He's a seasoned veteran of these sorts of scenarios, okay? Crash landings are never just that. They're always the precursor to some sort of... alien takeover or hostile invasion or something.]

[It just usually happens in a nice, safe bed. He gestures for her to go first up the stairs.]
Up we go. Can you fly?
[VALID QUESTION TO ASK IN KEELIAI.]

[THIS COULD BE PROBLEMATIC. Maybe there's something on the roof they can use. He rather hopes there is, and takes the stairs two at a time until they're at the roof access door. He flashes her a quick smile and then steps outside. Nothing convenient like, oh, say, a shuttlecraft. Or even, you know, a jetpack. He'd totally take a jetpack at this point in time.
But there is a coil of cable nearby, and several hearty looking stovepipes. He examines them closely, knocking his boot against one to see how sturdy it is.]
Okay, new question. How's your highwire performance art?
no subject
The question though, earns a grin.] I've survived worse. I'm sure I'll manage. Got a plan?
no subject
[Jim bends down, runs his hands over the cable, and then he hefts it, loops it over one of those stovepipes and ties it off with a complicated looking naval knot. It's thick and kind of hard to work with, but he manages. Then he looks at her, and holds up the other end.]
Got anything on tap that can do the same thing over there?
[He points to another building across the street. It looks calm and untouched - definitely not being swarmed by spectres. But it's too far to jump, and although they could rappel down the sides of the building, what happens if a spectre spots them through the window and decides to fry their line? Jim's hardy, sure, but he's pretty sure expecting his ability to survive a four story drop is edging into foolhardy.]
no subject
Does this work?
no subject
He watches with something like incredulous wonder, and then he just. Coughs. Clears his throat.]
Works like a charm. Anyone ever tell you you're really good at that? Come on, let's climb across.
no subject
Let's go! [Off to their escape then.]
