Generation Legacy Issue #7 "Innocence Lost" - Part 1

Kelly blushes at having said so much with barely drawing in a breath. "I'm not really civic mided or anything, there's just so much stupid stuff in the way countries are run, that you need to make sure you don't copy that stupidity and make the same mistakes." she says, slightly defensively, though she isn't quite sure why since Tommy hadn't critiscized any of it, and was being pretty cool.

When he asks her to join him for a tour, she nods, and finishes slipping into her bikini bottoms and shorts, and after a moment she ties her top as well, and holds out her hand for him to take. "So what exactly are we going to go see?" she asks curiously, blowing the sand from her back and hair with theh wind, making sure not to spray Tommy with it.

"But its that same stupidity that the masses cling to," Tommy smirks, with a laugh.

"These are projects I have been working on, most of them have applications in the real world, especially for elites and some have varying levels of importance to our peers, and the why we are the way we are, and what it is that we will become... though I don't have any answers on the latter, I do have answers to the former..." he turns to her, "I mean I can explain to you on some level just how elites get their powers though the why of it, is not wholly understood by anyone, outside of maybe some of the brightest minds in the UNJE and top government think tanks... course my specialty is not the elite genome..." he finishes.

This just keeps getting better. Mark charges into the fog, aiming for where he last saw Black Heaven and hopes to ram the new elite.

OOC: Like that's going to work. Hero Point to reroll a miss if Mark needs it, or against the obscure if he gets a save.

To save you the trouble, the Miss Chance roll was a 17, Mark will miss no matter what unless he has Blind Fight, so he misses, and no Hero Point was used.

Mark dashes into the black mist and tries to strike at Black Heaven but is frustrated by striking nothing but air, he can't even see his own fist, when he swings at the assailant! Meanwhile Kiyana focuses her power and slams the huddling thugs with a powerful Water Blast that knocks them all flat on their backs!

Kiyana used Extra Effor to add area to her attack and then struck one of the guards with a 19. They fail their saves, and are knocked flat. New Initiative List for Downstairs: Yoshi 34, Black Heaven 20, Mark 19, Kiyana 19, Ryan 16, Anika 12, (7) Thugs 11, Mistress 9, James 8, Star 6, Strength 6

Kelly takes Tommy's hand and she lets him guide her around as he wants to on the tour, or even just staying on the beach. "So wow me," she tells him, smiling, "Not that thats ever hard for you to do to me."

"I..you said you know about why elites have powers, tell me, I'm kinda curious about why I ended up with weather powers when My dad is super-intelligent, and my mom has luck powers. Shouldn't my powers be like theirs or something? I mean we are all related. Maybe its because I was already born before the Meteor, if I was born after it maybe then we would have had the same, right?" she asks curiously.

Maybe its because I was already born before the Meteor, if I was born after it maybe then we would have had the same, right?" she asks curiously.

Tommy replies, "Actually the genetics of your family plays little role in actually determining what powers you have, though they play a huge factor in your chance of, inheriting the necessary traits for an elite. The elite genome is largely understood, but what is understood about the phenomenon is that elites as a whole are genetic mutations on the normal human genetic pattern. Typically most deviations from the norm are deformities that usually cripple the individual for life, not the case with elites, their enhancements seem to grow and change with time becoming more powerful in scope, and many times much more varied. The number of elites is on the rise, because as many scientists have concluded, it is like a virus, traveling from host to host infecting them, either turning them into elites or laying dormant waiting for a trigger to be released. In either case the individual can pass the trait via sexual contact childbirth, or any number of methods of a normal contagion.”

He steps onto the tram, and helps Kelly inside, “The virus as it were is fluid and in flux, it can change and adapt to the environment, and seeks out uninfected hosts, before moving on. This virus only works with the human genome, as far as scientists can tell. It is not known at this time, what the virus’ long term effects may be if any,” he shrugs. ”Course much of that is truth, many of it, is only bits and pieces of secure data, and conjecture.

 

[Hammerhead]

Ryan smirked as his energy blast knocked Mistress into the wall. "How about YOU surrender?" he taunts triumphantly. Bitch.

Then, the situation went from bad to worse as some new Elite reject showed up and started a smokescreen, just as Anika was hammered by Strength through one of the walls. I hope to God that she's okay. Still, it would seem that I have other people to worry about.

Kiyana's attack gave Ryan the opportunity he needed. Without those thugs shooting bullets everywhere, and a thick wall of smoke between the rest of the battle, he could finally see if the poor dancer was okay. Kneeling, he drops his force field surrouding him and touches the woman, willing her wounds to close.

Before even realizing whether or not he was successful, Ryan kicks away, into the air towards Yoshi, flying. He grabs him by the shoulder and repeats the same process of healing. "Come on, you sissy."

Ryan will use Healing +9 on the prone woman, then take a move action towards Yoshi, then using Healing +9 on him as well using Heroic Surge.

The woman was Dying, but Ryan's use of power has narrowly averted death!

The woman coughs, as her eyes open, and she looks around surprised not moving, just as Ryan moves away to aid Yoshi!

Before even realizing whether or not he was successful, Ryan kicks away, into the air towards Yoshi, flying. He grabs him by the shoulder and repeats the same process of healing. "Come on, you sissy."

Ryan will use Healing +9 on the prone woman, then take a move action towards Yoshi, then using Healing +9 on him as well using Heroic Surge.

Ryan is able to heal the one lethal injury that Yoshi had and he is no longer Disabled.

"Sissy! Dude I totally set you up for the kill on the Mistress, now lets get our asses over to Anika, right, quick, fast and in a hurry, before Strength puts her in a body bag," Yoshi says as his strength and vigor return to him.

 

[Shalimar]

Kelly stops walking, shocked at the revelation. "Your saying being an Elite is like getting AIDs, or somtheing, well except for it being good I mean. That makes no sense, if just anyone can become an Elite that easily, then why are people trying to register us, I mean eventually everyone will be an elite if its so easy to pass it on, well I guess thay could try to stop it by keeping us seperate, but why would they want to? If everyone was an Elite, there wouldn't be anyone that hates other people because they aren't Elites, and there wouldn't bea pantheon making war on people who are trying to supress Elites. I guess I just don't get it, but this is like a real big deal, even if I can't understsand all of it, huh?" she asks, sounding rather subdued and uneasy.

 

[Agamon]

OOC: Another spent HP to unstun. Uh oh, FF is down...this is gonna hurt.

Anika pushes herself unsteadily to her feet, her blue protective aura having faded away. Her left shoulder throbs and she realizes that he arm is hanging somewhat awkwardly at her side. Noticing the people around her, she shouts out, "Go! Run away, this man is dangerous!" hoping they can understand the fear in her voice, if not the words.

She watches Strength advancing on her for what seems like an eternity to her. "His mind is so strong. But it's the only way, I have to try..." She pushes the pain of her shoulder away, focusing her mind once more on an attempt to take control of Strength. "Freyja, please heed my call!" she exclaims, reciting her spell of possession once again.

OOC: Stand up [half action] and Possession +8 again [half action]..

Anika focuses her power but to no avail, the powerful elite just shrugged off the attack, his force of will was like the mountain, unassailable and unstoppable. Perhaps with time it could erode, but it was not the kind of time that Anika had at the moment.

rolls a 24 on his save, he is still unaffected.

The Mistress does not stir though, thankfully.

It is now James turn…

Kelly

Tommy listens to Kelly, “Its more complicated then that, but I really cannot explain, without more data for why the virus works the way it does, where it came from, most believe it was extraterrestrial in origin, brought with the comet, and some even comment that it may have been created with a purpose in mind, of course that is only conjecture, what I do know is that many authorities are afraid of the implications. This is not a simple issue of baseline hating elite and vice versa this is a decision of mass evolution in very a short time, a total redefinition of the world… it would be in many ways the end of the world as we know it, and the start of a totally different age…” he finishes.
