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.

Comments

[selfloyalty]

Not the sort that we had to face.

[They were too strong, too overpowering. A hand rubs the back of her neck where the chip they had forced under her skin still remains.

Her gaze follows his towards the gates as well.]

Once a month, so it seems. It used to be more frequent, but I suppose something had been changed in the system.

[fourcenturies]

You'd be surprised.

[Adam simply responded. He had fought all sorts of people with special abilities. He doubted that these men they had fought were stronger than anyone back home.]

As for the change, maybe they just wanted to make arrivals more manageable? I know that I'd prefer a more orderly system than everybody showing up when they feel like it.

[She's not going to argue with him and she simply shrugs her shoulders at his response. He wasn't here during the Masked invasion.

If another occurred, he will see what she meant.

She looks back towards him, arms crossing under her chest.]

It does seem a lot easier with Transports coming in simultaneously. I find there are less questions when one arrives in a group, and I suppose it is reassuring to know that you are not alone in your confusion.
