[Sep]

Reminds me I gotta write a second post.

Well, as it stands I suspect I'll be little more than a sidenote providing some exposition, but I'm happy to do so.

@MelonHead

You are actually going to be surprised then when I release the outline from what we talked about. Lekh won't be a fighting contribution but his ability to become what I understand to be a power damper will (that's how I understood it in his CS) even the playing field a bit more than you might realize and even prevent Rach from escaping should the cowl's plan go well.

What is the arc about?

@Gowi

Currently the summary is this:

Racheli Desdemona, a infected with an alien virus about a week and some odd days ago, was dropped off at and has been locked away in the CDC until the recent bomb threats have forced the CDC to remove her to a safer location. Gene Co, a company with ties into genetic research and medical area, original discovered the Virus on a floating piece of rock out in space and had been experimenting in it before it got loose, disappeared and reappeared when it infected Rach. Gene Co's finger prints are all over the virus should anyone be clever enough to look and identify them putting the company at risk for serious repercussions because of their hidden project branch's little slip up. So Jacqueline is requesting the Cowl's (Kingpin version for CAH) to kidnap Rach during transport and deliver her to a secluded location for Gene Co to pick up and relocate to a hidden research location where they can observe, experiment, etc on her while keeping their connection with the virus a secret.

@Fallenreaper You mean the Rach freedom arch? Or the Pax Metahumana Arch?

@VATROU

Rach's arc, though it won't stay that way I hope as I want to show off and draw attention to the street level crimes within the Cowl's territory.

@Fallenreaper

He's not really a power dampener, more of a disorientater, though the end result is ultimately the same anyway. I look forward to seeing what's going down.

I'm sure I can add some more input once I'm made aware of the full arc, but I do have a few ideas as to how Marie can be integrated into the story so I can share that once the doc is distributed.

@fdeviant

*points up to last post* Does that help you fdeviant?

There's a few options I talked to with NN about the way the story could go because honestly, not everyone's PC will follow the storyline to a Tee and I don't want them to. In my mind, adding different options and ideas are much more fun in a story as it feels like everyone is fleshing out the story through their PCs and building it. This arc, despite it originally starting with Rach, I want to explore and flesh out Cowl's power base and even create an enemy they all can associate and remember. ^-^

@MelonHead

Either way, he's going to have some effect on the heroes he's going to encountered and give them something to work around. Something that should be fun to see how the PCs work around not being able to use their powers all the time. :p

@Fallenreaper

I like it, gives all the characters involved a way of adding depth to their characters as well, especially the characters currently walking the line, who, given an option, might have to choose sides and all that fun stuff. I'm excited to see where it goes and I'm happy to be a part of it!

I will need to think if there is a natural way for me to enter that Fallen

@Sep

Alright, fair enough. If you need help, ask and we'll all try to help best we can. The funny thing, some times another Player who didn't create a PC can come up with an idea that works for that PC. Something I find awesome and amusing.

[nitemare shape]

So...stay tuned. I have a pretty major announcement tonight. Nothing to worry about, but still a pretty big deal. I'll fill you in tonight after work.

@nitemare shape

*goes 0_0 and gets the gasmask, bullet proof vest, and more for every situation possible then hides in a bunker to brace herself* I never trust a GM fully at his word!

[KaiserElectric]

I never trust a GM, period.

*runs away screaming*

[Athinar]

@Fallenreaper So wait, lay it out for me again? You need Josie to murder people in ludicrous ways?

Don't lie. We can't afford real Monopoly money...

@nitemare shape

I just take the money out of the board game... ;)

[Fallenreaper]

@Fallenreaper So wait, lay it out for me again? You need Josie to murder people in ludicrous ways?

@Athinar

According to NN, she's on the Cowl's payroll which to me, means she will have to do what he asks from her. There's several ways Josie can be of use from collecting information (in torturous or intimidating way), be the main muscle should someone... decide to interfere in the target's transfer, or nix those who refuse to be bribe into acting stupid about Rach's disappearance (namely as I'm pretty sure she's a scary as fuck lady when she wants to be). I'm assuming there's more flavors to Josie than merely slaughtering. Also if she killed everyone she encountered, her infamous acts would be only myths and rumors to everyone.

This would also allow some clear dislike and chance to clash with some of the involved heroes. I'm currently making an outline in a gdoc which I'll be giving a link to everyone involved. This will be more detailed and open for additions.

[Fallenreaper]

@Melonhead: Before I forget, here's the information that Lehk might've picked up despite any level he enters into the CDC.

CDC Information

_{Known to Gene Co}

• Gabriel Cole: Consultant over Racheli's condition.
  
  ~ A expert over the bio-mechanical field (field where biology and machinery work in harmony)
  ~ Currently employed at Lost Haven’s University
  ~ He was brought on a few days ago (6th day since the riots) when her blood work showed strange signs of having organic nanites within it
  ~When he was brought onboard, all samples sent to Gene Co were ceased and their involvement restricted
• Racheli Desdemona: Current infected woman that has been dropped off at the CDC.
  
  ~ Has no next of Kin, any she did were registered as deceased: Grandmother (aneurysm) and Mother (murder victim) and Father (put to death)
  ~ Blood samples have black coloring; the texture is a little finely gritty; and temperature is about several degrees below human warmth
  ~There is also traced evidence of virus presence due to higher than normal white cell count

_{Discovered by Lekh}

• CDC Building: Medium Level
  
  ~ All Employees, from the janitors to the scientists, use categorized key cards and levels associated with the card's digits. Each has a 12 digit serial number divided into three sections that determines clearance for key areas.
  ~ While he knows where the blood samples from Rach, files over her and computers storing the research, Lekh hasn't any clearance for accessing them.
  ~ He knows where Rach is and her situation, depending on what position he applied for. She’s observed 24-7 by both people and video cameras, 24-7, so she's rarely alone.
• Abilities discovered: What she has shown and theories over what she has.
  
  ~ Magnetism is the massively concerning one and easiest to note. It happened on the 3rd day after she was dropped off, but tends to go on and off for the most part. If Lehk has observing her long enough, he might've noted that stress and negative emotion trigger it easiest. Most of everything has been switched to none magnetic metals to prevent her from getting out or hurting herself/others.
  ~ They suspect she's developed a heighten taste, but not fully sure. Some suspect she's just picky as hell and irritated that she's forced to remain here, but one thing is clear she's not been eating a lot lately. (Happened about 2 days ago)
  ~Recently, as in this morning, she's started to develop heighten hearing causing her to flinch at high pitched sounds and get pissed about it. She's even able to hear above human ranges.
• Move detail: The CDC's plans for when they move her to another faculty. Lehk can likely confirm these aren’t rumors and give exact details that listed below.
  
  ~When- Around noon today.
  ~Where- CDC loading area, they aiming to take her to another district (August) and away from the bomb threat
  ~How- They are going to sedate and move Rach into a truck with equipment to care for her
  ~Other details- How many individuals are involved, excluding himself, and their alignments (whether they will be able to be bribe or threatened). He will also know the truck’s route thanks to any connections with the driver.

Well, she hasn't said yes then, buuuuut I'll get the yes.

Hahaa! Love it, watch out Athinar, NeutralNexus is the big, bad monster under the bed. :p

@NeutralNexus, @EnterTheHero, @Tearstone, @Melonhead, @Athinar @fdeviant & @Sep:

On a side folk, I don't think we've officially came up with a title over the mini arc so anyone got any ideas or thoughts? I don't really want to label it Rach's arc as while she's a main part, she's not the only one and I would like to hear your guy's thoughts over this so we're all on the same about we're talking about.

[Athinar]

@Fallenreaper Attack on Gene.Co? Generic, yes, but it's a classic.

[VATROU]

@Fallenreaper You need an Arch name. How about. Boiling Genes. Or maybe. Gene Therapy.

[KaiserElectric]

@Fallenreaper Since it involves genetics, what about Natural Selection?
