ORANGE COUNTY, CALIFORNIA
1.03 // ACTION

Coral City, during the night, was still filled with people going to bars and nightclubs. While downtown and the boardwalk were bustling with life, the rest of the city remained peaceful for the most part. At one of the abandoned buildings, designated to be bulldozed in the near future, a police officer quietly entered. Nearby, Lonnie watched to make sure that nobody else was coming while Drew was putting the finishing touches on the masks. Lonnie turned. "I think that's everyone. You sure we're at the right place?"

"Positive." Drew answered. "The tracker is still showing she's in that building."

"Then, what are we waiting for? Let's save your friend." Lonnie put on his mask, a skull wearing a crown, and made his way to the building. But, Holly stopped him in his tracks.

"Hold on, we need to come up with a plan."

"Agreed." Roshanna approached both of them. "But what's the plan? You are the only one with powers at hand."

"I will distract the officers while everyone goes to save Drew's friend."

"You realize that there's a chance that they will beat you to death? I dealt with a few dirty cops in my life. They will not hold back." Lonnie crossed his arms and stared directly at Holly.

Miguel turned his attention to the building and noticed something strange on the second floor. It looked like a person being smashed against the window repeatedly. Suddenly, it finally broke, and the officer was shoved from the third floor. It felt like time slowed down as he attempted, in a foolish manner, to catch the falling officer. Normally, he wasn't the one to help out the authorities, especially with a warrant on his head. But, it appeared like he wasn't going to make in time. So in desperation, he stretched out his arm in the hopes that his powers were triggered.

His hopes were answered.

A strange violet hand appeared out of his arm and caught the officer before he met the concrete. Luckily enough, it appeared that he was unconscious as the hand carefully set him down. Miguel opened his eyes in amazement while everyone else watched in surprise. And then, the hand vanished as quickly as it appeared. He turned around, and his mouth wide open. "D-did you guys see that?!"

"That... was awesome!" Lonnie patted him on the back, which made Miguel blushed a little.

"Nice job."

Drew smiled and then stared at the broken window. "I hate to interrupt, but my friend's in serious danger. I would help out, but I'm in a wheelchair."

"I will stay behind to keep the van warm." Roshanna added.

Holly nodded and turned to the others, holding her statue of liberty mask. She knew what to do and made her way towards the building. Loonie was the first one to enter and immediately saw an officer's body. Holly went over to her and checked for a pulse. Thankfully, she was unconscious and not suffering serious injuries other than bruises. Miguel noticed more SWAT and police officers lying on the floor and stairs. All three of them raced up the stairs until they ended up on the third floor. That was when they noticed her.

A woman shield bashed an officer and then threw it at another officer. She noticed the strangers and greeted them while blocking a punch. "Oh, hey there! I assume M sent you to save me?"

"Yeah, but..." Miguel looked around and saw several more officers knocked out and then stared at her with astonishment. "It looks like you are doing well."

The woman couldn't help but smile at the compliment and bushed it off. She dealt with the last officer with a simple punch to the face. Holly approached her and took a moment to look at her, "So, what's your name?"

"You call me-"

"Katharsis." An older muscular man appeared from the stairs avoiding the strangers in front of him. He was directly looking at the woman with pure hatred. "It seems you still haven't learned, child."

THE RISEN

SYNOPSIS
Andy Rutledge had planned out his future after high school with his friends. He wanted to be the first in his family to graduate from college. Then, get a dream job working as an engineer and move to Los Angeles. And finally, start a family and his own business. It may have been far fetched, but he was determined to achieving his dream. Unfortunately, his life was taken in a terrible car accident. He died in 2003 at the age of nineteen on the I-15, and his body was buried at McCaa Memorial Cemetery. His family and friends mourned for Andy and then moved on forward with their lives.

Seventeen years later, Andy Rutledge found himself at Cajon Junction—confused and wondering where his precious car went.

PREMISE
This story will follow the friends and family of Andy Rutledge, a young man that was tragically killed. Seventeen years passed and he returned to life with no memory of the accident. His return should be scientifically impossible, but it happened without explanation. Now it's up to his family and friends to find out how Andy came back from the dead as their world is forever changed—for better or worse.

It will be an overarching story that focuses on Andy as his family and friends solve the greatest mystery in history. Of course, it will also focus on them answering the ultimate question: What if someone you lost returned? As for the size, I don't want to have more than six/eight players. I just don't feel comfort GMing more than that. Of course, if you have any questions, ask away!

XŌCHIPILLI
THE UNIVERSITY, SEATTLE
THE FLOWER PRINCE

To say that Xōchipilli was concerned about The Conclave was an understatement. He really was worried about it since he avoided thinking about the lost Colossus. It was also an inconvenience for Luka Vélez, who was supposed to be planning out for another busy weekend at Topan. Hell, he had to lie to his workers about going to a sudden appointment. Thankfully, they didn't suspect anything, and he made his way to the university. It was, for some reason, the place that The Morrigan picked out to hold the Conclave. Although he did wonder how she managed to get a conference room for a dozen people.

Xōchipilli made his way to the conference room and saw The Morrigan looking around. He waved and smiled at her, "Hey, there. It's been a while since we last saw each other, Morrigan."

He examined the room and chuckled. "I would ask how Professor Byrne managed to secure this room, but I doubt she's available at this moment. Right?"

"Well, I understand since The Conclave is about to start and we have to be ourselves during it. I will just sit here and wait until the others eventually get here." Xōchipilli took a seat on the uncomfortable plastic chairs and pulled out his phone to keep himself busy. He thought of checking on his siblings but knew for a fact that they were coming—sooner or later.

1.03 // ANSWERS

Everyone looked at the woman with the mask and kept their distance except for Miguel. He approached her and took the bag of fruit snacks. While the others stared confusingly, he did his best to avoid them and quietly ate the snack. She pulled out another bag and offered it to the group again. But, Lonnie wasn't in the mood and finally gained enough strength to stand up. He went over and knocked the bag out of her hand.

"I don't want anything other than answers!"

"I understand." The woman picked up the box and dropped it beside her. Then, she grabbed her mask and took it off, revealing herself to them. "My name is Drew Fisher. I was the one that brought you all to Angel's Hand and used Q-Juice."

"Q-Juice?"

"The nickname that STAR Labs came up with while studying the gas. I'm not going to bore you with the science. The primary purpose was to give the person affected metahuman abilities or activate them, depending if they have the metagene. And it seems to have work on one of you." Drew made her way towards Holly and frowned. "I am sorry for this. I know what you are going to. Is there anything you need?"

"There's actually one thing you can do: help me up." Holly looked up at Drew, exhausted and weak.

"Alright, then." Drew smiled and extended her hand out. Holly grabbed her arm rather violently and pulled towards her. Her world once again collapsed into oblivion, but something was different. The images were clear and somehow made sense. And then, Drew's voice appeared to explain everything.

"Growing up, my family never talked about Uncle Mitchell. I didn't even know about him until I was fourteen. They told me that I wasn't allowed to speak to my uncle because he wasn't family anymore. But, I did anyway. He was so excited to spend time with me when he wasn't busy with "work." I knew that it was hard on him. Then, he just snapped one day."

"I wasn't there, but I think the stress of work finally broke him. I was waiting to surprise him when my parents came instead. Suicide by cop, they said. Mitchell was attacking customers with condiments when the police arrived and..." The image of an older man lying in a pool of blood appeared while Drew took a moment to sigh. "Well, I wasn't surprised to learn that one of the officer's body camera contradicted the official story. Instead of receiving proper help, my uncle was murdered, and his murders got away. So, I leaked the footage for everyone to see."

Another image appeared of Drew leaving her childhood home. "But nothing happened. An investigation found the officers innocent, and people eventually forgot. I had lost hope until Channel M found me, and I knew what needed to be done. I may have never got justice, but I will make sure others will with my skills."

Both Holly and Drew reawoke to the real world, completely shaken by what they experienced. Drew wasn't, for some reason, angry nor troubled by whatever mindfuckery it was. Instead, she turned to Holly with an emotionless stare, "Now, do you understand?"

"Yeah, I do." Holly answered sincerely. If anything, she related to Drew's struggle with her own ever since police officers killed her father. It didn't mean she forgave Drew for giving her whatever power she had. But Holly felt sympathy for her. "But, it still doesn't explain why you dragged us into your situation."

Drew remained silent for a moment and went to speak, but someone else came running towards her. They also had a mask on, similar to the one Drew was wearing earlier and appeared to be whispering something. Her eyes widen before whispering something back. Then, she looked back at the group and sighed. "Listen, I know that you shouldn't trust me, but I need help. The authorities took one of my friends away and-."

"If you are asking me to do something incredibly illegal, then you have to find someone else." Roshanna interrupted as Miguel looked down to the ground while finishing the fruit snacks. "I am not harming police officers."

"They aren't like your average police officers. They are rooted in corruption that goes all the way to the commissioner. I am afraid that they will kill my friend if you guys don't save her."

"Then, why not ask one of the masked individuals to do it instead?" Lonnie asked.

"Because her, my friend, and I are the only ones left." Drew responded and then sighed. "Listen, I don't have time to explain. Just help my friend out, and then you are free to leave. Please."

Everyone remained silent and tried to look away from Drew expect for Holly. She approached her and said, "Alright, where is she?"

"Wait, you aren't serious?" Lonnie raised one of his eyebrows.

"I am."

Lonnie tried to stay still but then groaned audibly and went to stand next to Holly. "I can't let you get killed, especially if there are dirty cops involved."

Miguel knew that he had to go with them as soon as Lonnie joined. He awkwardly made his way towards them and then looked at Drew. "You can also count on me."

Now, everyone was looking at Roshanna, who remained opposed. She was feeling the pressure. "Even if we get to your friend, how do we fight them? Besides Holly, we don't have powers."

"Yet." Drew quickly corrected Roshanna. "Your powers will eventually come... or they won't. The odds are fifty-fifty, but regardless you all will need masks to protect your identifies."

Roshanna was still thinking of her next move while everyone else agreed to help. She had never harmed a person before. But if she got powers and wasn't able to help... So, she decided to go with them and then see what happens afterward. And with that, everyone was following Drew while she was digging around for some masks. She was feeling somewhat hopeful for the first time in a while.

PENNSYLVANIA PLAZA // JAMES FARLEY POST OFFICE
"Right." Bates agreed and made his way out of the security room. He entered the ramp and kept on following the signs pointing in the direction of the field hospital. There were a few more dead police officers with bullet wounds similar to those in the security room. Then, he made his way to the entrance and read the sign above the door:

Field Hospital
Critical Treatment

Bates had to take a moment to mentally prepare himself for what he was about to see. It wasn't going to be pretty, but it was definitely going to be worst. He turned to his partner and advised, "No matter what we see, we keep moving. Even if there are people... still here. There's nothing we can't do for them for now."

"...Let's go." Bates moved forward and entered the arena, which was filled with rows of hospital beds. There were only a few mobile rooms built due to the size. And of course, there were still patients too injured and left for dead. He looked away for the bodies and kept on moving. It seemed like an eternity, but he made through the hospital. And a working elevator was waiting for them. Bates entered it and waited for his partner before pressing the button. Once the door closed and it started moving, Bates closed his eyes and took a deep breath.

"What a fucking mess. I thought things were bad, but this... this is something else entirely—rogue police officers, a declining safe haven, and a makeshift hospital that's now just an abandoned morgue. Either command didn't know the full extent of the situation or... we were lied to and sent on this suicide mission."

#6A8477 // JOEY POLLARI

C H A R A C T E R I Z A T I O N

In the desert town of Blanco, rumors that a local was involved in a deadly car accident on the I-15 quickly spread. At first, they were only rumors, and everyone assumed that it was someone from down the hill. Until the body arrived at the coroner office and was identified as Andy Rutledge, the recent graduate of Golden Valley High. That news was devastating to everyone, especially to the friends and family of Andy. He was known for being determined to do whatever it took to improve his situation. His main goal was to leave for the City of Angeles to become the first to graduate for college.

And once he did that and started earning enough money, Andy wanted to buy his family their own home instead of spending their lives paying a landlord to live in that apartment. Of course, that dream was shattered on June 7th, 2003.

Andy planned on heading down the hill to be interviewed by some potential roommates while hunting for a job. He said his goodbyes to family and friends before departing. Before he drove off in his first car, Andy told them that he will call them once he got to his destination in Los Angeles. However, he never got the chance. It took fifteen hours before his family learned of his death and accident. According to witnesses, another driver suddenly braked, which caused Andy to swerve into the railing. His car was totaled entirely while the body remained good enough condition to have an open-casket funeral.

The funeral was held at McCaa Memorial Cemetery, where his body remained to this day.

CHARACTERIZATION
In Colorado, Jake Elliott grew up in a lovely foster family after his mother lost her battle with cancer, and his father disappeared. Jack eventually felt like his adoptive family was his actual family. He was fairly popular in school and even made a few friends along the way. His love for photography earned him a place as a respected wedding photographer. And after getting his degree in photojournalism, he was hired by the Denver Post as their newspaper photographer.

But, it only lasted a few years before he decided to quit and moved to Washington. Jack grew tired of working on a deadline and wanted more freedom in his life. His friends and family supported his decision and the big move to Baltham. After settling into his new apartment, he found work as a simple clerk in a small thrift store in the historic downtown. As for his photography work, he got some job that he paid decently enough to save it. So far, however, life is going good.

XŌCHIPILLI
SEATTLE UNIVERSITY, SEATTLE
THE FLOWER PRINCE

Even though Xōchipilli was on his phone, he was still paying close attention to the door. For example, he made sure to wave back at Kore after she waved at him. But other than that time, he didn't interact with everyone else other than a glance. There was Zeus with some danishes, but all that did was made Xōchipilli cringed at his attempt. Then, Hera arrived, and her brief words to everyone was enough to make him roll his eyes. Suddenly, his phone notified him of a text message for one of the workers at the club.

hey. something's wrong with the booth again.

Oh great, Xōchipilli thought to himself while typing up a response.

Are you sure it isn't just the laptop?

Another text soon appeared a few seconds later.

i don't know. matt's taking a look at it. will keep you updated.

Xōchipilli took a moment to make a mental note about the booth. Next thing he noticed his brother had finally shown up. It was when he started to speak in their native tongue of Nahuatl, which caught Xōchipilli off guard. It had been a while since he last heard the language in person. He mainly talked in English and Spanish to act as human as possible. It took a few seconds before he was able to remember some words in Nahuatl.

"Yeah, you didn't miss anything. Other than whatever the Greeks did. I wasn't paying attention to them." Xōchipilli chucked and then noticed his sister was sitting nearby. "Oh, hey there. How's the business doing?"

"And I heard a voice in the midst of the four beasts // And I looked,
and behold a pale horse // And his name that sat on him was
death, and hell followed with him."
𝗱𝗮𝘆 𝘇𝗲𝗿𝗼


In the historic downtown of Baltham, it was busy as usual for small business owners that managed to stand firm against the Zemreaft Mall and the major retailers. Even know it isn't as popular as the modern downtown, people manage to find themselves in this area. There was the well known Kennedy Square Park with its ironic bronze statue of a lion and lioness. Some of the tourists often visit the park to take pictures of the statue while visiting the old town of Baltham. And there was the classic Sweet Bay Hotel designed to look like it was built in the early 1900s despite being constructed in the early 1980s. There were many more landmarks and areas only known to the locals.

Next was the modern downtown filled with offices, technology companies, and commercial districts that rivaled any city on the West Coast. There was the recently opened boardwalk filled with businesses to make tourists spend their money. Despite the boardwalk being small, it was big enough to fit the tallest Ferris wheel on the West Coast called Revolution. Meanwhile, one of the ferries entered the terminal, filled with people from Seattle and nearby cities. Conner Farrell was one of the passengers on board, but he seemed to developed symptoms of food poisoning out of the blue.

He thought that it was weird since he didn't eat much, but he decided to go back home and see if anything changed. It got worse. A few minutes after leaving the ferry, he began to sweat uncontrollably while getting unbearable headaches. It got bad enough that he almost passed out while driving; however, he made it home. His wife, Mia Farrell, was smoking outside when she noticed her husband's car in the distance. She tossed her cigarette to the ground and made her way to the sidewalk to get a closer looker. That was when she noticed him and became extremely concerned.

Mia ran towards the car and saw her husband coughing up a storm. She tried to ask if he was alright but got no response other than a cough. So, she told him to let her park the car while he went inside. Conner understood that something was wrong with him and decided to take her offer. In the distance, neighbor Benjamin Dunnings watched the event unfolding and had thoughts of checking up with them. But, he was distracted by a phone call from his mother.

Fifteens later, a blood-curdling scream echoed across the neighborhood, and it came from the Dunnings household. Everyone, including Benjamin, was wondering what was going while some were calling for help. He realized that they could be in severe danger and raced for the house. It was easy to enter inside since the door was unlocked. He immediately noticed the blood on the wooden floor and had seconds thoughts. But, he blocked them for his mind and followed the blood trail to the living room, where it was a total mess. The table was broken while the couch was covered in blood. It was enough to make Benjamin leave until he heard chewing sounds coming from the kitchen.

He carefully walked into the kitchen and discovered Conner on the ground, eating... his dog. The sight alone was enough to make him throw up in the nearby trash bin. Once he was done throwing his guts up, Benjamin noticed that Conner was standing over the dead dog. He tried to say something but was speechless and scared for his life. Things got worse when Conner turned around to reveal his bloody mouth and started walking towards him. That was when Benjamin ran. He prayed that the authorities were waiting outside the house.

But before he grabbed the door handle, Benjamin heard someone coming down the stairs and turned to see that it was Mia. There was a massive bite mark on the right side of her head enough that the ear was missing. He didn't believe what Conner did to his wife and rushed towards her aid. "Oh, god! We need to get you help!"

Mia only responded with a growl.

Outside, an officer approached the house while another was talking to a neighbor until the door was open. Benjamin tried to say something while dragging towards the officers as Mia was biting down on his neck. The nearby officer ran towards them and tried to pull them apart. That caused her to turn her attention towards the officer and tackled him to the ground. Benjamin attempted to walk back home, but he collapsed in front of the neighbors. And then, Conner walked outside, made his way towards Benjamin, and started eating him. Everyone cried out in terror while some began filming the event with their cell phones.

The other officer ran towards his partner and started beating the woman with his baton. But it was ineffective. Instead, she tried to grab him and bite him; however, he quickly kicked her away. So, with no other choice, he pulled his pistol and took aim. He gave her a final warning, but she kept on walking towards him. And with that, he fired a single shot to the chest. Naturally, a shot to the chest was enough to stop everyone. But, something strange happened. Mia kept on moving towards him without any sign of pain or discomfort. So, he fired another shot and another until she finally dropped to the ground. Then, he fired at Conner until he also dropped dead. That caused most of the crowd to disperse.

The officer was visibility distraught by everything that he did and witnessed and froze in place. Fortunately, backup arrived. Two other officers approached the officer and tried to ask him questions, but he ran towards his dead partner and attempted to wake him up. One of the neighbors had been filming the whole time and decided to post the entire video on their Twitter account. In a matter of minutes, the video blew up and started to spread all over the website. Eventually, it got the media's attention, and they began covering the breaking news. And there was still enough time before lunch ended.

JACK ELLIOTT
ROADSIDE BURGERS, BALTHAM
LUNCH BREAK

"Holy shit."

"What?" Jake Elliott turned to his co-worker, Shaun Grant, with a curious look. Both of them were on their lunch break at the local fast-food restaurant. It was nearby the thrift store, and they were tired of being in there. Jake was eating his fries while trying to see what the hell Shaun was watching this time. Hopefully, it wasn't something stupid. He wasn't able to see much, but he did saw the part where the officer opened fire on the woman. In an instant, Jack turned away while Shaun shut off his phone and placed it down on the table. It was when he said "holy shit" again.

"The fuck were you watching?!" Jake asked while throwing his fries away because he couldn't eat anymore after watching the video.

"Well, my friends shared me this link about a nearby shooting. I just... didn't realize it was that bad." Shaun responded. Then, he went to cover his mouth. "I think I'm gonna throw up. Excuse me."

Jake watched as his co-worker rushed towards the bathroom and then stared at the phone. His curiosity got the better of him when he took the phone and began to rewind the video. And once he got to a part that didn't look graphic, he resumed the video. Jake watched as the woman took a beating from a baton and then saw the officer reaching for his gun. That was when he paused the video and placed the phone back to its original spot. He didn't want to see someone getting shot again. But, that footage was bothering him a whole lot. Maybe it wasn't a big deal, he told himself.

After a few minutes, Shaun came out of the bathroom refreshed as he went to grab his phone from the table. He looked at Jake and said, "It's time to go back. You ready?"

"Yeah, let's go." Jake nodded and started making his way back to the thrift store.

"It's called the American Dream, because you have to be asleep to believe it."

HISTORY
The United States of America was in the midst of a growing labor movement when the Great War finally ended. President Wilson, an anti-labor, began drifting plans to crush the movement before it grew out of control. But then, the Industrial Workers of the World announced a general strike, where all the workers united to get their demands met. Wilson immediately got to work in crushing the strike with help from the military and police departments across the country. Once it became clear how much of a threat the labor movement was, Democrats used both President Harding and Coolidge to start chipping away unions and labor rights.

President Herbert Hoover won the 1929 election with plans on doing the same things, angering the pro-labor movement again. However, he was forced to maintain the European aid mission and subsidies to farmers pushed by his predecessors causing the booms of the twenties. But then, the crash of 1929 happened followed by the Dust Bowl. With those factors, Hoover put an end to the aid mission while attempted to raise agricultural tariffs, but led to the signing of the Tariff Act of 1930. Still, he didn't want the government to be heavily involved since he believed in laissez-faire economics. Many experts expected Hoover to lose his 1932 reelection campaign, which he did.

Even known faith in Hoover was long gone, Americans were still hopeful that a Republican President would undo the damage. Their trust went to one person in particular: Henry Wallace. A farmer from Iowa, Wallace campaigned on the promise of major agricultural reforms and an answer to the anti-labor Democrats. And with the Great Depression getting worst, he won the 1932 election in a landslide. That caused wealthy businessmen and several Democrats to be concerned. So, after Election Day, in the act of desperation, they gathered, discussed, and followed through with a plan that eventually led to the incident known as The Business Plot.

General Douglas MacArthur marched into Washington D.C. and arrested Wallace inside the Capitol Building. Vice President-Elect James LeCron was also arrested at the airfield of Washington Airport by General George Patton. On Inauguration Day, Americans watched in surprise as MacArthur was sworn into a temporary presidency. Left-wing third-parties organized widespread protests in response while almost every member of the Congress and Senate remained silent on the matter. Those that remained vocal in the legislative branch received no responses from MacArthur. Meanwhile, a committee was formed with the task of finding a suitable replacement for the presidency.

After two weeks of discussion, the committee put forward Everett McKee, an unknown right-wing political figure from Oklahoma. The Republican Party denounced the choice and called for a general strike across the nation. But, there were supporters, like Charles Lindbergh and William Pelley, that backed the new president. Infighting occurred in Washington D.C., lasting for three days until the Silver Legion of America (led by William) arrived to establish control. Fearful of arrest and harm, several Republicans, Democrats, and third-party officials fled the city and went into hiding. Their fears were correct when the headquarters of the Socialist Party of America burnt to the ground while their members perished in the fire or were arrested shortly after. Fortunately, most of the members (including the party's leadership) fled the night before. Now in control, President McKee invited Pelley to be his vice president after his performance in the capital. Then, he outlawed third parties in the country, focusing on the SPA and the IWW.

Vice President Pelley incorporated the Silver Shirts and the Black Guard (known as the Black Legion, a popular militia part of the Klan) into the U.S. military. Several military generals were concerned about the indications, including Major General Smedley Butler. Two months after the coup d'état, Butler attempted to assassinate President McKee and Vice President Pelley and free Wallace from prison. The week-long coup d'état failed horribly, resulting in the deaths of Butler and Wallace along with the purge of the military afterward.

The entire purge, known as The Great Cleansing, lasted from 1933 to 1936, which targeted military officials from the army to the air force. It gave more power and influence to the Silver Legion and the Klan throughout the country, especially in the South. When the 1936 election happened, McKee won by a long shot to his Democratic opponent across the country. Although, some suspected that imitation and voter suppression played a major role in his victory. For the second term, President McKee sought to dismantle antitrust laws and empower capitalist policies to combat the Great Depression.

Then, in 1939, a third and final coup d'état was organized by the resistance group using the name "Sons of Liberty." Unlike Butler's Revolt, this coup dealt a devastating blow with McKee's death and Pelley's serious injury. Though, it ended with the resistance fighters killed or arrested by Brigadier General Charles Lindbergh and General Douglas MacArthur. MacArthur offered to maintain the presidency until the 1940 election, which was only a few months away. Everyone hesitated to allow MacArthur to maintain the country again; however, once Lindbergh backed the idea, all of them agreed.

The Republican Party sought out Lindbergh and asked him to be the replacement Republican nominee after learning of Pelley's injuries. Lindbergh accepted the nomination with Gerald Smith becoming the vice present nominee shortly after. Being the first pilot to make a nonstop flight across the Atlantic Ocean, he was already an icon to the world--including Americans. But his actions during the Savannah Spring only made him more popular with the American people. And the live broadcast of the trials and executions of the Sons of Liberty members boosted that popularity.

And once the dust had settled, President Lindbergh and Vice President Gerald Smith managed to secure enough votes to win the 1940 election (rumors surfaced that they also used imitation and voter suppression). Their first action was to layout the foundations of a new government program with the ultimate goal of ensuring that every American had work. However, the program remained in the drafts because of the potential constitutional issues it faced.

Fifteen years passed; the year is 1955, where Lindbergh and Smith have achieved the longest presidential term in the country's history. And yet, they are still changing the United States. The newly created Federal Security and Intelligence Agency has essentially become secret police with influence from the Legion and Klan. Some argued that FSI was unconstitutional, while the majority, including Lindbergh, established that it wasn't only constitutional but necessary to deal with threats to American values. And it's director, J. Edgar Hoover refuses to testify in the Senate with the support of the Lindbergh administration.

Meanwhile, the mysterious government program is set to finally be revealed on the White House lawn. With the 1956 election getting closer, rumors are spreading that both Democrat and Republican politicians are starting to worry that Lindbergh will seek out a sixth term. But, those in power either only care about themselves or have become too scared to speak up. However, there are rumors of resistance fighters hiding throughout the country, waiting for the day to strike and bring back democracy.

SIGNIFICANT INDIVIDUALS


Charles Lindbergh - After achieving the first solo transatlantic flight in his Spirit of St. Louis, Lindbergh became a celebrity overnight to the American people. He went on tours across the country for several years while serving in the airforce. It was due to his support of McKee presidency that he gained the leeway. Then, he was the key player in ending the Savannah Spring resulting in becoming a national treasure overnight. Lindbergh was sought out to be the replacement Republican nominee, which he accepted without hesitation.

Gerald Smith - Smith, clergyman and founder of the America First Party, was sought out by Lindbergh to be his running mate for the 1940 election.

William Pelley - Founder of the Silver Legion of America and former Vice President, Pelley worked aside McKee to reshape the country. Originally, he was planned to replace Roosevelt until McKee came into the picture. Regardless, his performance and quick action during the chaos in Washington D.C. led him to the vice presidency. His Silver Legion became an important force for maintaining order and peace after the plot. Their influence grew more during The Great Cleansing. He suffered serious injuries during the Sons of Liberty attack that left him unable to maintain the office. Pelley retired to the Murphy Ranch, located in Los Angeles, and spent his time maintaining the Legion.

Everett McKee - Former President of the United States from 1932 to 1939. McKee was a right-wing political figure that campaigned across Oklahoma without drawing a crowd. Yet, he was still contacted and ultimately offered the presidency by the committee. Without any hesitation, he accepted and started working almost immediately with reassembling the executive cabinet. For eight years, McKee was responsible for changing the country and effectively established fascism for the first time in the world. His ambition was cut short in 1939 when he was assassinated by the Sons of Liberty. His body was buried on the grounds of the Oklahoma State Capitol. But, it's expected that it will be moved to Washington D.C. once his tomb is built.

EVENTS IN AMERICA


The Business Plot - Henry Wallace's victory caused wealthy businessmen and Wall Street big shots to become concerned. Rumors began to spread that William Hearst and several other prominent tycoons were organizing a plan to prepare for the upcoming Wallace administration. Then, several political officials from both major parties supposedly got involved with military personnel following shortly. Somewhere along the way, the plan changed into replacing Wallace before he did any damage to America. Paul French was the journalist that broke the story shortly after MacArthur's March.

MacArthur's March - On Inauguration Day, attendees were surprised to see General Douglas MacArthur standing in place of to-be President Henry Wallace. He was sworn into a temporary presidency catching the crowd and some of the attendees off guard. Other than a short speech, MacArthur didn't answer any questions regarding the whereabouts of Wallace. Wallace supporters went to their representatives for answers, but they remained silent on the matter. Nobody, with the expectation of third-party members, from the Senate and Congress made any overt comments or objections. As a result, widespread protests and riots occurred across the country.

Butler's Revolt - Major General Smedley Darlington Butler, on May 16th, 1933, long concerned about the imprisonment of Henry Wallace and of McKee's presidential actions organized a military coup d'étact. The goal was to free Wallace from incarceration and neutralize both McKee and Pelley. His efforts, lasting for a week, were fruitless with the deaths of Wallace and Butler. Soon after, a major military purge commenced, decimating the American military's leadership.

The Savannah Spring - On July 4th, 1939, President McKee and Vice President Pelley traveled to Savannah to campaign for a third term. A week-long massive rally, similar to the one in Madison Square Garden earlier in the year, was planned out. On the second day, McKee went up to speak and reveal the big announcement. Instead, the podium exploded and caused everyone on the stage to sustain injuries. Suddenly, a group that called themselves Sons of Liberty entered the venue and opened fire at the stage. A firefight occurred and eventually spilled over to the city.

The venue burned down shortly after McKee and Pelley were escorted out by security, but the Sons of Liberty gave chase. Fighting prolonged into a brutal two-day siege before the rebels were defeated overwhelmed by the Army and National Guard, but the damage was done. McKee bled out inside the state car while Pelley was too injured to take over the presidency.

Brigadier General Charles Lindbergh and General Douglas MacArthur, who managed to end the Sons of Liberty, became national treasures overnight. After tales of their exploits spread to the upper echelons, in the wake of McKee's death and Pelley's injuries, MacArthur suggested that he took over the presidency again until the 1940 election and there was some hesitation. However, with Lindbergh announced as the Republican candidate, it was (eventually) met with universal approval.

JACK ELLIOTT
ROADSIDE BURGERS, BALTHAM
LUNCH BREAK

Oh great. Jake told himself after a woman crashed into him, nearly causing him to lose his balance. Unfortunately, her phone screen had a crack on it. Shaun immediately reached for it and nervously handed it back to the stranger. Jack rolled his eyes as his friend began to apologize for the accident. And then suddenly, a loud scream from the parking lot caught everyone's attention. It was a mother who was desperately trying to wake her child up. By the time Jake ran towards the scene, a crowd had formed to witness what was going on. Some of them were immediately calling for help, while others tried to assist in whatever way possible.

Shane walked towards him and watched the scene unfold. "Should we help?"

Jake thought about joining the crowd, but there were plenty of people on their phones. Plus, they had to get back to work pretty soon. So, he turned to his friend and responded, "I doubt we can't do anything that hasn't been done. Besides, I'm sure an ambulance is on its way."

On their way, Jake walked passed the woman from earlier and glanced at her for a moment. He felt bad that her phone was damaged, but there wasn't anything he could do. And it wasn't his fault. Meanwhile, Shaun apologized once more before bidding farewell to the stranger. Both of them began making their way back to work when they noticed two police cars, with their sirens blaring, driving fast down the street. Jake felt that today was going to be a strange one.

As they turned the corner of the street, the situation at the parking lot escalated. To the mother's relief, the child started breathing slowly. She resumed mouth-to-mouth while one of the owners of the restaurant returned with a first aid kit. Then, she let out a muffled scream as her child was biting his own mother. The crowd began to scream in horror while the owner and someone else tried to free her. It was strangely difficult, but she was eventually released. Her mouth was ruined entirely, leaving left her unable to do anything besides letting out muffled screams. Meanwhile, the child was being held down by two strangers as they were attempting to calm him down.

Past that, no one really seemed to notice what was going on. The rest of the city continued with its bustling routine.
