It seems no change has been made in the ships status, although if you were looking at a newscast you could see the reporters become slightly more optimistic at the disappearance of the aliens. They began to train their cameras on various rescue vehicles from time to time, it would seem they've been moving from place to place this entire time.



"Human? Not quite, I have received some enhancements." Manta replied, he swiftly rolled to the side as you began your attack. You yourself are well trained, but it would appear he is as well, and he seemed to be fast enough to evade your attack. "But you may be right. Staying is a futile gesture, after all, it would seem you have bigger problems." Manta spoke as he rolled into another side room, and disappeared in the familiar boom of their portals.

It seems you've won the day, Manta retreated, and the aliens have dispersed. But what of the ship and it's contents?



A couple of people ran up to you, or more specifically, the man you had just uncovered. "We'll help out! After all it seems those aliens are gone." The two men that had run up to you appear to have been EMTs, just without their vehicle. However, even with their dirty clothes they seemed more than happy to help, and they showed that by carrying the man off. They soon returned later to start helping uncover the smaller piles of debris, or even those lying around.



Several more civilians began to show up, their clothes were dirty and even torn in some places, the majority of the group began to help other injured pedestrians off the streets and to safer areas. A couple of them split off and approached you. "We'll take care of'em, but maybe you should do something about that." A man spoke, pointing up at the slowly falling spacecraft.

She's not a Nazi, her "captors" were Nazis. Besides her German ethnicity, I didn't want to give her any real ties to the Nazi party besides just to use them for an origin story. Apologies if it made anyone uncomfortable. And you haven't read a single actual Deathstroke comic if you think he's just in it for the money lol. His family was killed and his only daughter hates him, he had this entire backstory... Gets me mad when people think they know his character.

EDIT: And if it's really that big of a deal than let me know and I'll change it. Didn't think it would but whatever.


Well earlier I was referring to the power set, If i remember correctly Deathstroke has similar powers; but so does almost every hero ever for that matter. I didn't know that he has deeper reasons for being a merc, thanks for sharing.



I'm confident that's a joke app, which is pretty flattering, I never thought that would happen.

I'm going to have to deny this. For one, your only weakness is if your mind control device breaks, and that's if you don't control them before they can break it.

[Edit]
So what time is it IC, approximately speaking?


It's night out so I'd say around 9pm.


Well if she gets up and about every few years wouldn't she be a bit older? I'm also hesitant to accept her because she seems to be a deathstroke copy, but If you can play her right I'm willing to allow this. I accept.

Sorry about the wait, I'll get on posting right now.


It's all good. I was absent for a bit myself.

Is Basoth is still on the ship? that is plummeting towards earth?


Unless you want to rp him off..
So uhh... Suggestions on how I get involved? Any of 'em?


[Edited]
Well I'd allow you to start your guy off as if he was already on the ship rescuing people. He could have been one of the many abducted and he's just now making an escape, or you could start your guy off on the streets helping with damage control.

Small scale to the point of being near-instantaneous are things like raising walls of rock to defend himself, causing pillars to erupt out of the ground, creating narrow fissures to trip people up, and other localized effects.
Large-scale tectonic activity depends on magnitude of the event, with a 4.0 (just enough shaking to be noticeable, very low chance of structural damage) taking... let's say ~10 minutes, assuming Jump City isn't on a geologic fault. From there, the time needed doubles at each interval (5.0 is 20 minutes, 6.0 is 40, 7.0 is 80, and so on).


I'm also assuming your character can be interrupted, I'm going to Accept your character. Feel free to move him over when you feel like it.
@Nightrunner Cheers pal, that's great to hear! I'll try and keep the standard up.

@KriticalKrab Ok pal, sounds good. If you can hold off until after tomorrow I can get another post up with Bats fighting some Brainiac bots in Gotham, then GL can come in like the cavalry?


Of course I can wait. With all these pro writers around I'm starting to feel nervous, hopefully I'll be able to pick up on those skills.

I have posted in relation to Marilyn and Hot Socks.


ReaptheMusic was referring to a previous story post, of which I have changed. You might have to edit a little, but it shouldn't be much. I'll put up a story after either Reap or Silver has posted.
Are you guys still accepting characters?


Yup, we're not full so go ahead.

Have room for another villain?


Sure I guess, but I have been rethinking that whole hero and villain thing.

@KriticalKrab

What about Marilyn in the story post? :( [Also me and SilverDawn both agreed on what happened in my post]


Ah, I wasn't sure exactly what you guys had planned. But I'll throw in some interference.



What exactly are small scale effects, and how long would something like an earthquake need to activate?
March 5,2020:


From what you could see beyond the dark clouds, through the tiny patches of clouds that had been pierced by outside forces, it looked like it was already night. The invasion of the one ship lasted throughout the afternoon, and into the night.

The mother-ship was still falling, however its trajectory was uncertain, it could land in the water or onto an unspecified area of the city. No matter where it lands it would still cause damage.

News helicopters still flew around, broadcasting everything they saw, and everything they didn't.



As Horus attempted to interact with the ships systems it met heavy opposition in the form of firewalls and other electronic defenses. However you were able to pilfer the layouts, do with it what you will.



As you trudged through the ships inner hallways, you could feel the ship shake, and you knew why. The ship had it's moments of stability and seemed to be stable enough for you to make good progress as you traversed the inside, however one of it's more unstable moments caused both of you to fall, and slide down the hallway.



The ship shook slightly, causing the aliens in front to stumble backwards onto the floor, where they struggled to get into a comfortable position. The alien you were holding down seemed to lose consciousness as you pounded his armored chest.



The rifle that had landed into your lap appeared to only have one good shot left, a shot you took without aiming, relying completely on faith. Your faith was rewarded. As the alien attempted to retrieve his trident your shot landed on his armored neck, causing him to recoil backwards, giving off a grunt of pain.



He didn't get a change to parry your kick as he had just stumbled backwards from an energy blast. Your kick landed and forced his helmet to tear off his suit, as his face was revealed it would seem he is of African descent. As his helmet launched into the air, so did he, but he had managed to land on the farther side of the room. "It appears some miscalculations were made, no matter. The mission can still succeed. Manta to all points, take what we have and withdraw, the ship is going down and I intend to satisfy the boss." With that all aliens present in Jump City began to disappear into various portals, which all opened and closed with a thundering boom. Manta himself unhooked a large rifle from his back, as opposed to the more common blue, his beams were a deathly red, and all aimed at you.

However, the problem of the alien mother ship still remained, along with the human captives within. It appears Manta intends to survive the ships crash, or has an escape attempt planned.



The aliens you engaged had began to stand their ground, and began to aim their weapons on you. However, before the battle could continue, the aliens had summoned large portals and disappeared into them.
Finally concluded my opening arc! Think that may well be the longest post I've ever written.

Now I just have to get in on some sweet, sweet Justice League action.


I'm willing to have GL show up and help with transportation, people are always carpooling with him, and on that topic. How should I do that, should I write it up with him flying up behind Batman?

Now I wait.


Well if you're talking about a story post I've already started one. I was just referring to those interacting with patriarch.
