[QUOTE="Teflon Billy, post: 766458, member: 264"] Ok folks, my life has returned to a semblance of normalcy, so here is the "summary update" that was promised. I have a [i]lot[/i] of material to get through (the game never went on hiatus; Theo, the player of [b]Kronus[/b] was kind enough to "take the conn" while my turmoil subsided). Anyway...[b][size=3]on with the Superheroics[/size][/b][size=3][/size] When we last left our heros, the main force of the criminal supergroup [b]Damage Incorporated[/b] has been soundly trounced. It had all ome down to mystical super-yogi [b]The Fakir[/b] squaring off against known Dire-crony [b]The Cranium[/b]. The rest of the team either had their minds clouded to the presence of [b]The Cranium[/b], or were tied up in the battle against the dread [b]Insectoid[/b] on the floor above. The battle was more of a chessmatch than anything; [b]The Cranium[/b] and the [b]Fakir[/b] trading attempted mental commands (to no effect) and suchlike. Eventually, [b]The Fakir[/b] animated a rope and sent it to wrap around [b]The Cranium[/b]'s eyes. Blinded, the master of mentalism was quickly finished off by the [b]The Bionic Ninja[/b], who had, virtually at that same moment, smashed through [b]The Cranium[/b]'s force walls and leapt to the aid of his erstwhile comrade as [b]Mormodillo[/b] and [b]Tephra[/b]finished off [b]The Insectoid[/b] ([b]The Monarch[/b] having been temporarily stricken by [b]The Insectoids[/b]'s paralytic venom) As the dust settled, the Team took stock of their surroundings. [b]The Cosmic Commissar[/b] used his [i]Knowledge: Alien Science[/i] skill to attempt to puzzle out the strange device used to (inadvertently) summon [b]The Bionic Ninja[/b]. He determined that although its control mechanisms were basically antique (brass fittings and vacuum tubes), it's actual technology was based on the [i]Zurg Hyperdrive[/i]...an interdimensional portal generator. [b](The [i]Zurg[/i] are the alien race who came to the aid of the humanity at the height of the [i] Hoon[/i] invasion. What an example of their technology is doing on a device from the 1920's is anyone's guess at this point0[/b] As the team was milling around, spraying the unconscious villains with [i]lahar[/i] ([b]Tephra[/b]'s volcanic cement), another group arrived on the scene...the dreaded U.S. government black-ops mercenaries [b]The Faction[/b] [list][*][b]Operative X[/b]: Trenchcoated, ponytailed, robotic legged, Force-Field projecting super-spy. [*][b]The Cold Warrior[/b]: Highly trained mutant agent with the power to control temperature and make use of ambient moisture in the air. [*][b]Dangerman[/b]: Governemnt experiment in acelerated eugenics. [*][b]the Osprey[/b]: Highly skilled special ops soldier with the head of a bird of prey. [/list] more to come... [/QUOTE]
