EVENT: HERE THERE BE MONSTERS

[initiatesnpc]

Date & Time: October 24 - October 31
Location: Throughout Exsilium
Characters: ALL; tag yourselves in
Summary: The Transports return from their mission to find the island crawling with monsters.
Warnings: Violence, possibly injuries (notify a mod if there's cause to add a particular warning!)

The Transports return from their mission to Medieval Russia, but the Initiative Hold is eerily deserted. Normally, their would be a number of Initiative personnel prepared to meet the Transports at the end of their mission for debriefing.

Instead, there is only silence.

That is, until a distant thumping sound can be heard. It is growing closer, and suddenly the beast is bursting into the room. It lets out a roar and charges. Within minutes, it is easily defeated, but damage has already been done -- it collided with the Transporter machine, which is now making a low fizzling sound and lets off a couple sparks. The commotion is enough to draw the attention of the few remaining Initiative personnel who still inhabit the Hold, who arrive immediately afterwards. They are able to tell the Transports two things: that the machine is broken and currently unable to sent anyone back in time, and that the island has been overrun with aggressive, mutated beasts sent by the United Earth. They have been under siege for months, with the island's population reduced to a mere fraction of what it had once been.

[Swann had been frozen to act when the creature burst through, but his fingers found the strings of his guitar almost on their own, playing a song to buoy the hearts of those fighting the thing. When it was dead, the song ended and he now stands in wonder of the dead thing.]

Eh, wot?

[He didn't look 'round to see who had said it. He was busy staring at the fallen creature.]

[The creature doesn't change at all after dying.]

Darkenbeast. I thought it was a creature from my world - it resembles one, at least.

[She turns back to scan the area outside the perimeter, then glances back at Swann.]

Are you hurt?
