tushanshu_ooc | Event | Satellite Crash Landing

Greetings, chelonauts, and welcome to the planning annoucement for the upcoming Satellite Crash Landing event! Read on for details, then have at thee for plotting and any questions you may have.

Details below the cut,

Satellite Crash Landing
May 21 | Keeliai, Tu Vishan shellside
The early morning hours of May 21st are broken by the sound of a low lying explosion and a veritable rain of fiery bits and bobs such as molten hot metal, space debris and a side-order of plot! For those who are out and about in the early morning (the very early morning) they'll see something roughly meteoric streaking overhead, leaving a debris trail anyone could follow. Several houses are going to be damaged or destroyed outright, others will catch fire and burn. If you'd like your character's residence trashed, let us know and we'll work it out!

Tu Vishan is going to grind to a halt at this sudden commotion. His increased awareness of the population on his back has him a little concerned for their safety.

The object in question is roughly a three hundred tonne satellite cluster, and when it crashes it'll do so with a sonic boom and the rough equivalency of a 6.0 Earthquake. (Anyone living in a Wayne Enterprises building, ie: kedan orphans, will survive intact. He builds those things to last!) It's actually an ARSHEPHELIOS orbital defense platform, which was mentioned briefly here.

Satellite Salvage Forays
May 22 - 26 | Tu Vishan shellside, open sea
Hopefully at this point, the fires are under control and the damage control has begun. And you know what that means, don’t you? Time to haul in salvage! Some of our Atlantean heavy hitters might be interested in dragging pieces of the platform shell-side, while others will be able to find pieces littered throughout the turtle. There will also be kedan salvage expeditions out into the ocean, in case anyone cares to hitch a ride with them if those mean Atlanteans aren't sharing the action.

There is considerable salvage to be gleaned from this, and the technology is on par with a roughly Star Trekian setting. There's enough there to repair any damaged equipment your character might own, or start a make-work project.

While there's definitely a lot of debris, most of the satellite pods themselves are still intact. Which leads us to...

Spectral Enemies
May 23 - 26 | Keeliai, Tu Vishan shellside, open sea
But not all is well on board these satellites. The first time someone cracks open one of the pods, they'll be flooded with energy-based apparitions hellbent on, well, world domination. These nasties are protecting the technology aboard the satellites and will stop at nothing to do so. They are 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, it also makes them briefly vulnerable to more... conventional methods, but physical contact has one dangerous side-effect.

Possession.

These creatures can invade someone's psyche, take over their body and cause them to attack friend or foe alike! If the person's body is subjected to sufficient electrical shock, the possession should fade... but are you sure you want to take that chance? Also, characters who are in possession (mind the pun) of a very strong natural will can theoretically oust the spectre all on their own.

And, despite the fact that the spectres are vulnerable to electricity, it also happens to be their main offensive weapon. They'll leave deep-tissue burns on anyone they fight, and you might want to read up on the symptoms of said injuries, just in case.

There will be approximately ten thousand of these creatures released in a veritable flood into Keeliai. It's kill or be killed, cowboys!

And for those who would rather stay indoors (and rightly so!) during this event, some of these spectres have gotten 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.

Tech Impact

Also: the consoles are now eligible for upgrades from the technology that fell out of the sky. We aren't going to limit it to what our imaginations can come up with, so feel free to suggest whatever your character might try and we'll let you know if it would be successful or not for a wide-spread implementation!

As always, feel free to ask questions, come up with your own character plots and generally have a ball. Peace out, intrepid chelonauts!

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

Aisha's on hiatus for this event, we can assume she's off being badass by herself.

I'm open to Bruce either being possessed (he's had enough shit go wrong in his life recently that he'd be susceptible to it) or working against someone who's been possessed. idk I kind of just want some angst all up in the bat business.

Jim Kirk is going to find his phaser very useful in this event and is going to be doing the Heroic Captain thing. Any damsels out there that need 'rescuing'? (aka: he'll think they do and turns out they could break him in half or something?) I'm looking more for fun light-hearted campy space adventure shenanigans with him, so if that pings anyone let me know. :3

I have absolutely zero plotting brain (two days of basically no sleep, yaaaaaaaay!), but I totally approve of batangst. c:

We should do something with this event. Father/son possession times y_n?

I approve of this wholeheartedly!

We need CR, Roy (~._.)~

Dude I've been lusting after your cast for months. Honestly I'd love to see if Jim and Finnick could get along because I think Finnick's the sort of person Jim would get really protective of with the right impetus. :c

Alternately, Bruce and Vanessa because she's essentially a superhero.

Stop lusting from afar. We all know that Finnick can handle lust. Aw weh, Jim 8c I feel like they would totally get along.

LMAO the most sparkly of superheroes

if you want some cr here he could fight Kyle

or you know. there's that other guy you play IDK

Honestly I think it'd be better to make sure Bruce and Kyle's CR stays at least semi-positive sob. If Bruce didn't have the willpower to fight off possession around a Lantern I think he'd throw himself off a bridge a la Javert.

oh yeah that other dude what's that about again???

Wacky space adventure shenanigans you say?

Oh no you said light-hearted campy but I can give you those too.

Is she holding part of a mannequin in that icon???

AND OMG YES Jim and Rose team-ups forever they are the most adorable.

If Batman gets possessed, Traci's going to want to see if she can help if that's okay? He's a popular enough of a figure for her to recognize who he is after all, so she'd want to do her part.

Your choice on the pass or fail of it, since alien spirits and all.

If I go that route (I may not, I'm waffling a little on whether or not it's a good idea for the sake of his sanity. Say it with me now 'what sanity?') but if I don't we could always do something else? Bruce does have a history of teaming up with magic users for the greater good haha.

Bruce may want to grab his Kryptonite, because we have a classic Supergirl Rampage in the making here.

oh my god I want to see this happen like you would not believe

his not!daughter :c :c :c

Kaldur would shock you Batman if you needed it. even if he would feel guilty maybe later. >>

Also I do not have a damsel but seriously I want Prussia and Kirk to meet.

I'm going back and forth on batman!possession like a loser but if I go through with it we can maybe work something out? (Maybe with Traci, too?)

omg

Prussia and Kirk. SCREAM that'd be terrifying.

I'm up for Sabriel being 'rescued'.

Dude, yes. Let's do it.

...

She's legal, right?

bindsthedead - 2013-05-21 03:39 (UTC) - Expand

maybe Jim can make an attempt at 'rescuing' Sora?

oh my god I love their CR more than I can possibly say, Ammay. Let's do this thing. It is a beautiful thing.

Damian is going to be so, so angry with this event. SO angry. But, hey, electrical shock fixing possession, that sounds... familiar...

screech no bittybat

:c
