[“We meet again old friend”]
June 3rd. begins with a bang…literally. Several of them in fact. Spring and early summer in Southern Ontario along Lake Ontario means thunderstorms. While Shalyndra & Jack went about finding more permanent lodgings for them selves, Uno & Thomas continued to make plans for the future, along with more immediate projects. Garrus & Fionna made plans to have a “proper” evening back in Lazlo, seeing as how the team was not expected to mobilize for a few days yet. Therefore Fionna took her paramour to the Neon Rose, intending to celebrate HER way through dance.

Shalyndra and Jack both managed to procure new quarters (in fact, Shlayndra went and bought a mansion in the fashionable Dale of Roses) and other assorted civilian comforts when the message from Fionna arrived, inviting the whole team to see her dance. As per usual the crowd was mesmerized and the twins, Jester & Trixter, fed off the emotional energy like it was ambrosia. Shalyndra was approached by a group of expensively dressed men & women, one of whom introduced himself as Ruffalo Casander: Representative of Sir Roland Duel. When told of the fact that Sir Duel was personally seeing to the House of Colk’s debt being repaid, the elf-maid just shrugged in disinterest. Seeing he was not going to be listened to, Mr. Casander left with his escort, casually asking Shalyndra to extend the sentiments from his employer to hers.
Jack Chirax was highly entertained with the spectacle of Fionna’s dance, and moved to tears of laughter as both Uno & Thomas put on a disco-diva act on stage, followed by Garrus singing ‘Ring of Fire’. All in all a good evening of revelry for the emotionally and mentally exhausted Phoenix Alpha.

A surprise greeting from behind Fionna as she relaxed with her team mates near the club’s bar, had the entire crew turn around. There in front of them was the missing Cloud Silver Eris; M.I.A. commander of Phoenix Force Beta. Introductions were made and a bit of recent history exchanged, but the blonde haired woman was loath to give any details, aside from the fact she was back in her native ‘verse to ask for aid for her new home. Fionna agreed, and the rest all nodded in agreement. Seeing this put Cmdr. Eris at ease and she promised to give the full story the next day over at Fionna’s apartment. As Cloud departed, Fionna turned to Uno and remarked that the woman had seemed…taller, more vibrant albeit nervous and “curvier”. Uno’s comment was that Cloud did NOT look pregnant but her height had increased slightly by 3 inches. Trixter commented on this as well as Shalyndra’s talisman of Tyr began to vibrate. Thinking that they needed to retreive Cloud they turned to go after her. This is when Trixter fell down like a marionette with cut strings.

That is when the screaming from the front doors started. Fionna, KNOWING that the evening was going to well sprang into action with her full burster power unleashed (causing the panicking club goers to move aside fast), only to stop dead in her tracks as she saw what greeted her eyes.
Both bouncers dead; one with his chest torn open from the sternum, and the other having his head just freshly being torn off by a human in fine black robes. Of Cloud? She was at the killers feet, with a needle of coal-black metal stuck in her right forearm, unconscious.
Fionna reacted by loosing several heavy plasma-fire bolts at the assassin, burning the robes off to reveal their nemesis; Dominus. However THIS Dominus wasn’t real; Fionna’s bolts had shattered the false ceramic “skin” over the faux-necromancer revealing a body of Bronze and copper, run by clock-work and with a crystal globe heart filled with a small nugget of Blacksteel. Crying out a warning and calling for silver to be brought forwards, Fionna and the rest of Team Alpha proceeded to batter and blast at the clockwork killer. It didn’t even attempt to escape or defend itself once a magic net from Thomas trapped it. Its work was done.

Shalyndra’s blades cracked the globe containing the Blacksteel heart, and she almost fainted at the stench of corruption. Garrus and Jack used their pistols to complete the destruction while Thomas telekinetically removed the Blacksteel dart from Cloud’s arm and the nugget from the shattered and melted simulacra. Tossing his silver cross onto the infected metal, a bright flash of blue-white light, a cloud of putrescent and opaque black mist and a crater 2 ft. deep was the result of the two metals canceling each other out.

Moving quickly, Team Alpha made sure no civilians were harmed in evacuating the Neon Rose, seeing that the twin was safe and quickly relocated themselves and Cloud to Fionna’s apartment. There, they waited for the dragoon and former Beta Team leader to regain consciousness.

It would release the taint from the metal, but it would then be free to infect something or someONE else.
The only thing known to destroy and nullify it completely is silver. Unfortunately the silver is destroyed along with the Blacksteel in the process.

As Cloud begins to recover from her exposure to the Blacksteel, the members of team alpha at Fionna's apratment (soon rejoined by Fionna herself and Garrus; both looking very tired out and disheveled) began to ask her questions about where she had been and why a simulacra of the arch traitor Dominus would lie in wait for her.

Over the course of the rest of the evening of June 3rd. well into the dawn hours of June 4th, she tells her story of the adventures she has had in the alternate Rifts Earth.
viewtopic.php?p=2228672#p2228672

In turn, she learns of all that has transpired in her native dimension & space-time.

Clouds words are succinct and to the point on hearing of what Team Alpha has gone through, and how the two 'verses are seemling tied together; "****erdoodle..."

I'll consider writing it up as a House Rule or maybe even a HU Power Modifier.

Maybe every 4 points for Robotic/Superhuman, 5-6 points for normal strength, if you dismiss the 'supernatural' aspect of the strength being wholly responsible for the retroactive pain transmission.
Yes, with a Supernatural P.S. of 50-60, and a sufficiently large margin, your victim's male ancestor wandering across ancient Africa, Asia, or Europe is suddenly wondering where the horse that kicked him in the fork came from, and where it disappeared to.

[“Welcome to my nightmare…” Pt. 1; all apologies to Alice Cooper]
Overnight and into June 4th Cloud and Team Alpha exchanged recent histories with each other. Both the dragoon and the members of Phoenix force were aghast at just how tightly the two space-time locations had become tangled. Citing the need to be low-key and not bother Plato in this verse, Cloud left at dawn to visit with her god daughter and Gwenivere & Sephiroth Avalon-Knight. Everyone else scattered to deal with their own business.

Shalyndra Baza-Khaine went to inspect her newly bought home and found it to feel almost haunted; as if the previous owner hadn’t completely left. As she searched through the empty mansion, she realized that the master bedroom was subtly wrong in it’s dimensions. Upon closer inspection she found that a secret ante-chamber leading down through the inner walls and into a sub-basement had been built into the house. Descending into the ever-light™ glow strip lit chamber, she found herself at the bottom in a large almost Japanese styled room with rectangular mats on the floor and ink-brush illustrations on all four walls. Against the northernmost wall was a weapon stand with two saber like swords mounted on the racks and a silver Oni mask with blue crystal lenses for eyes. Then the room went dark. A whispering genderless voice spoke into the elf-maid’s ear as she dodged her unseen attacker. All she was able to see was the mask, now moving as if it was being worn by someone. Shalyndra was informed that she had found one of many secret abodes of ‘The Whisper’, and to make use of it, and learn, to become more skilled.
…and to avoid the trap that had destroyed Whisper’s people.
The lights came back up and Shalyndra noticed that the paintings had changed. The pictures altered as she looked at them, like a book; telling of the rise and decline into decadence of a race of near-elves. The sword maid finished half-way through the narrative and left to find an architect to help renovate her new home. She had much to think on.

Jack Chirax went in search of the ‘Cheese supplier’ and was found by an 8ft. tall cyborg in trench coat and fedora; Nunzio. Said borg directed him to the back-rooms of the Center of Eaton bazaar, where the merc found an elevator with three buttons; red, white and blue in a vertical row. Pressing the red one, Jack experienced free fall. Arriving safely at the bottom, Jack shakily walked out of the elevator car and saw a solid oak door. The name ‘Riccardo T. Ratt; cheese importer’ on a small brass plaque. Entering, Mr. Chirax was confronted with a 5ft. tall humanoid rat wearing an Armani Suit, wearing a Teamsters Union ring with the letters ‘J.H.’ engraved on it. Jack, un-phased, sat down when invited to and began to conduct business with Riccardo, purchasing many fine pieces of “cheese” (re; weapons and war gear).

Thomas and Uno-rez retired to the Sleipnir, to put the finishing refinements on Mr. Carmichael’s latest and to date, greatest creation; the time-phase workshop. Constructed to give 4 hours work time subjective, to every 1 hour sidereal time, along with explosion and energy protection features in case any of his experiments went wrong while inside. Slotting the last crystal into place and linking the wire to Sliepnir’s magicite power-grid, Thomas activated the room. After a few minutes he shut down the enchantment and stuck his head out to check on the time difference (if any). He had been successful. 4 minutes time had passed for him & Uno, while only 1 had moved outside the room in sidereal time.

The line between bravery and insanity is more often than not impossible to distinguish, even by mental health professionals.

Word to the wise(or those who would survive long enough to be considered wise); playing "Hide and Seek" and digging clams are two activities best not conducted in a minefield.

Combat is like evolution; the lucky and the fittest survive; that which does not kill you arguably makes you stronger; this also applies to the enemy.

[“Welcome to my nightmare…” Pt. 2; again, all apologies to Alice Cooper]
The evening of June the 4th was a nightmare (literally) for everyone in Lazlo.

*Jack Chirax, upon returning to his new apartment, was confronted with the burned and blackened “corpse” of one of his prior team-mates many many months previous. His old comrade incapacitated Jack, dragged him into the bathroom, filled the bathtub (with Mr. Chirax IN the tub) with fuel-oil and set the oil on fire.

*Shalyndra was perused by a Ya’utaja hunter through the tree-lined streets of Lazlo and blown apart by plasma-caster fire.

* Thomas found himself trapped within a rusting metal body inside a broken and lifeless Sleipnir, though he could hear the sound of Uno-Rez as if from a great distance. In the common room area of Sleipnir, the technowizard encountered a vision of death; black robe and scythe and all. In one swing Thomas was bisected at the waist.

*Fionna Faraday & Archangel were attacked as they tried to leave their apartment. When Fionna opened the front door, a Prophallus Dark-Force avatar floated just in front of the doorway and tore her head clean off in one blow, while Archangel was blown apart by bipedal insectile aliens that swarmed behind the Prophallus.

On the morning of the 6th of June, everyone woke up (except Jack) inside one of the spare rooms of The House owned by The General and Gweneivere Avalon-Knight. Booth Rika and uno-rez were present to make sure that the team had managed to awaken without undue mental or physical stress from the magically induced nightmares. When asked by the team, they took turns filling in the 2 day gap.
The entire city had come under a mass illusion / nightmare inducing spell. Over 20 people within the city died of psychosomatic shock from their perceived ‘death’ and even Jack Chirax and Plato had been sent into Coma’s which took even longer to recover from. The only Reason why Uno-rez hadn’t been effected was due to her artificial and non-organic nature, and Rika because she had not been within the city at the time the nightmare storm had struck.

Again, upon reflection and circumstantial evidence, the source of the disturbance pointed to the city of Tolkeen.
Something HAD to be done, and soon.

A 48 hour ‘awake’ recovery period was ordered by Captain Rika Hanlah-Falkon, but after that time, the team was to do an infiltration mission (small, fast vehicles only) into Tolkeen, past the occupying force of Coalition Soldiers and war machines.

On the 8th of June, Phoenix Force Alpha set off on their quickly purchased small vehicles; Rika & Shalyndra riding paired on an NG Speedster “Trash-can Special”, Fionna & Arch Angel on a cosmetically modified CS Sky-Cycle.
Aside from a small stop over near the south shore of Lake Huron (having seen a glint of metal or glass) to make sure they were not being perused or marked for ambush, the trip to Tolkeen was uneventful.

Arriving in the Minnesota territories, about 50 miles out from the city proper of Tolkeen, the team grounded their vehicles in a forest as CS attack helicopters flew by to attack something to the North East. Using the distraction and moving at ground level through the forest at low speed, Phoenix Alpha eventually came to within a half mile of Tolkeen. What they saw sickened them.
Broken spires of near marble and white neo-ivory, copper domes and ceramic mosaics; all shattered and burned, with flocks of carrion birds and packs of scavengers still milling around the corpses in the murdered city, even after so many months. Even the ley-lines “felt” polluted by all the carnage. Stealing themselves, the team paired off and entered.
The sooner they found the point-source of the continent or even GLOBAL magic-storms, contained and neutralized it, the better.

It is now early evening, June 8th, PA 109.

[“Are we having fun or what?”]
Depsite being as stealthy as possible, Shalyndra was the first of the Phoenix force team to be detected. As she prowled the ruined streets of Tolkeen, she was her self hunted by a CS Juicer. Only the Elfven sword-maid’s reflexes and shield belt saved her from being eviscerated. Meanwhile, the other P-Force members came under fire by a sniper, Archangel taking a laser bolt to his helmet. Thomas was quick to engage the sniper as archangel returned fire. Sadly, this brought them all to the CS patrols attention.
Infact, an IAR-2 Abolisher and a UAR-1 Enforcer, just outside of visual began to bombard the area Thomas, Fionna & archangel were in (though Fionna quickly flew out of the area to assisit Shalyndra in her duel with the Juicer), fortunately none of the missiles or shells actualy directly impacted. The sniper being delt with by a mini-missile barrage and friendly fire by the IAR-2, Thomas and Archangel regrouped with their teammates (Rika being undetected and running solo), just as Shalyndra finished quartering the CS Juicer. Rika radioed everyone that she had intercepted the Colation radio transmissions; more forces were being mobilized. This is when Jack Chirax made his entrance via sub-orbital drop wearing hi sbrand-new S-8 drop-infantry power armour. A volley of EMP grenades to the IAR-2’s top side took the CS warmachine out of the battle as Jack landed in a burst of shattered pavemnet and brick. A hurried retreat by the team and regroup in the Tolkeen underground tunnels, evading the Coalition forces being mobilzed. Rika soon joined them all inside an abandoned food storage room. There, she filled her tema mates in on what was occurring within the city.

The reason for the CS’s high alert was an incursion by “A platoon of killer clowns”. At the response she saw in her comrades faces, Rika just shrugged; any distraction was a GOOD distraction as far as she was concerned. Resting for a half hour, P-Force alpha were almost discovered by a group of street urchins still living inside of Tokkeen. Thomas attempted a foolish capture of the innocent children, but something prevented his TW “spiders-parlour” system to not function properly; instead of scaring and disorienting the urchins, it just caused them to ignore the team, causing said street-rats to wander off.

Later, in another store room, they encountered a “resting” Shemarrian berserker, but the amazonian gynoid was odd beyond what the team had become accustomed to. This Shemarrian was male voiced and claimed to be a male human who had been implanted into the body, introducing “him-self” as Frankie the Neuromancer. Jack Chirax was less than hospitible as Frankie tried to bring everyone up to speed on what had been happening in Tolkeen since the seige ended. In fact, Rika stepped in to reprimand the power-armour merc on his behaviour when… the sound of thundering, rythmic foot-treads resounded through the city foundations. And the roar of a thousnad war-horns mixed with an animal growl echoed through the murdered city. It was going to be one of THOSE days.

In my defense Jack was trying to bring a little levity to the whole transgendered situation which was much needed in such dire times.

Well, they survived...again.
Daemons, Titans, and gargoyles, OH MY.
Plus hell hounds and creepy magical children who ARE magic incarnate.
All this and more on the recap of The saga continues; Phoenix Force Forever.
