Omega Man — Roleplayer Guild

A new alien menace has began infecting several citizens in Central City [Kansas] and it's sister city across the bridge Keystone City. The Superman hasn't been seen in weeks and is thought to be off world. Batman stays in Gotham and is only ever seen at night. And Wonder Woman was last seen in Europe after the new King and Queen were announced. Central City and Keystone City aren't the only towns infected either. After just three weeks, other large cities in America began seeing strange zombie like trances in several dozen people. Midway City [Michigan], Coast City [California], Star City [Washington], and St. Roch [Louisiana] have all been infected with what appears to be 'alien starfish'. 

Batman has already come into contact with what the media is calling 'Starros'. He's tracked most of them to a temp service agency down near the Gotham Harbor.

Coast City

The 'Starro' problem had only gotten worse over the course of the last three weeks. With no sign of Superman it wasn't sure if this zombie like trance and the spread of Starro spores could be stopped in the United States. It was clear that new heroes needed to rise, and for Scott Hendricks it had a different meaning. The young pilot had been in the air in the experimental plane the 'Redwing' half a dozen times now. However the plane wasn't too equipped for dog-fighting in the sky. Scott and his friend Judah had been working on something to deal with the issue, a small turret that pops out of the top of the plane. On the news, on a clunky old tv in the corner of the barn that doubled as a garage, was a news report. The community college where the small starfish like aliens were found on the spines of several students has been sealed off from the public with over four hundred students and faculty infected. The buildings themselves have an organic type of technology growing on them with a larger starfish looking piece of tech cracking out of the foundation of the top of the main building. 

"Reports are now saying that the starfish like creatures the media is calling 'Starros' are growing and moving from the infected's spines to their faces. Single red eyes in the center have been reported to fire something like a blast of energy from them. It's only a matter of time before the infected make a move. The question on everyone's minds, 'where is the Superman?' And can we survive this invasion without him?" the reporter asked near the end of the update. 

"You know you're gonna have to go in that building and see if these things have like a central nervous system, right?" asked Judah, a heavyset bearded young man with freckles and red-ish brown hair, as he continued wrenching a bolt into place on the turret. 

"Yeah I suppose. Did you have time to get more rounds for my pistols?" Scott asked tinkering with the ammo container for the turret. 

"Better than that. Put a switch on the bottom of the handles to make them a little more interesting." Judah continued saying with a grin.

"I let Kaley go home early today since I didn't have any customers to fly around, slow Tuesday. I'll try them out in a bit, making them automatics though or something is kinda pointless since they only carry..." Scott began saying before Judah interrupted.

"Let me stop ya there, Jimmy. I made the rounds a smaller caliber so you're gonna go from eight rounds to eighteen. It fires in three round bursts when in automatic. It's about four ounces lighter in weight too..." Judah continued finishing the turret, "You done with that ammo case yet?"
