Mission: Heat Signature ?

Jun 3, 2019 8:34 pm
An odd heat signature appears on the radar, it crashed somewhere outside of hillside, as far as you can tell no authorities have been called to this unknown crash landing, perhaps a foreign country's spy has crashed, or an unknown super.
Jun 3, 2019 10:16 pm
OOC:
Mike volunteers for this one. The possibility exists that this, whatever it is, comes from space and may be linked to the Elder things that whisper in his mind. He wants to make sure no one comes to harm from it.
Jun 4, 2019 5:46 pm
Clay would jump for this one.
Jun 5, 2019 12:09 am
The Heat signature places the crash landing somewhere 20 miles outside of Hillside ward, the area is mildly wooded, and could be difficult to search even if it is a crash the size of a private jet.
Jun 5, 2019 4:08 am
OOC:
Well, we've got to go out there and search for it, anyway. I don't have flight or similar, nor do I have a vehicle. What do you have, Clay?

OOC:
Clay has a car i believe

but i can also psudo fly as one of my powers. My character sheet should be public so if you slap on it you should see what i have and\or can do. if you want that is.

OOC:
No, it's not letting me see the sheet. Not a big deal. If you've got a car, let's use it and go.
Mike plops down into the passenger seat of Clay's vehicle and pulls the door shut after him. The door slams hard, but Mike seems oblivious to the fact that he didn't need to close it that hard.

"So, into the woods, yeah? What do you think we'll find? A satellite? A Korean nuke? An alien spaceship?"
Jun 6, 2019 4:29 pm
"Lets hope its just a metorite bit." He says as he climbs into the vehicle. Folding up his little notebook he starts the vehicle up taking to the streets eventually going to towards the forest. "Say wanna grab a bite before getting into the forest?"
Jun 6, 2019 5:16 pm
As you drive out the current ward towards hillside, you see lots of moms and pops restaurants and diners, few fast food places exist out here, or really any chains, but a single burger joint that looks like it could be quick does catch your fancy, but also a taco stand, though the stand might take longer it is clearly higher quality food.
Jun 6, 2019 5:45 pm
"OH! This place has one of the best burgers MMmmMM... I say we hit that up real fast."
Jun 8, 2019 3:50 am
YES, A QUICK BITE, JUST LEAN OVER AND TAKE A CHUNK OUT OF HIM, the voices cackle.

Mike coughs and gives Clay a small smile. "Yeah, sure, I could eat. I uh... I'm not too picky. Whatever you want," he says.
Jun 8, 2019 8:11 pm
After a quick bite to eat the two of you can make an investigation check to attempt to narrow down the location of the heat signature.
Jun 9, 2019 4:20 am
Mike looks out over the woods as they drive, trying to spot any signs of the crash site. He only vaguely knows what to look for, based on crappy TV movies, but he's sure he can find something.

Coming near the end of a road you can see some snapped branches, and fallen trees, it is clear you are near the crash site, though not completely sure, the size of the crashed object, it is clearly larger than a single person, so a fallen hero or villain is unlikely.

Jun 11, 2019 8:33 pm
Clay will keep driving for a bit possibly to a good big spot so he can turn the car about.

"I think we might be getting close enough to beat feet. "


Clay will also pull out his little notebook and scribble notes of the cracked branches/trees.

Mike nods and gets out of the vehicle. He rolls his shoulders as he looks at the broken branches and other damaged foliage. "I think you're right. Anyways, I don't think your car is going to go any further in." He starts to head into the woods, trying to follow the direction of the damaged trees to find the point of impact.
Jun 12, 2019 9:51 pm
"Agreed." Clay puts away his notebook and takes out a small micro film looking bottle. Shakes it and pops open the lid. Pouring a tablet into his hand then popping it into his mouth.

"Ok "

Clay uses the "taking my supplements power to slowly transform his body from solid flesh to jello-like liquid, then eventualy to the humanoid shape of a gaseous form.

OOC:
Do you follow the path of broken branches and knocked over trees?
Jun 13, 2019 4:30 pm
OOC:
Yesh
Clay starts heading down the path of ruin.
Jun 13, 2019 10:01 pm
OOC:
Just checking,
As the dynamic duo follows down the path they come across aa clearing that doesn't look like it was a clearing a few minutes ago, trees are blown in different directions, and branches are snapped in the center is some kind of mechanical pod. It appears to be closed at this point, with a glass view finder in the front, though the glare of the sun hides anything beyond that it is transparent.

Do we know of "superman" the hero? i would like to make reference to that XDDD

OOC:
Sweet!
Moving some of the branches out of his way. "You think its another being like superman?"
Jun 16, 2019 2:47 pm
"Oh, gods, I hope not," Mike says in a low voice. He approaches the pod, trying to get a sense for what it might be, then leans in to peek into the viewport.
Jun 17, 2019 6:25 pm
"Do you see any buttons on it anywhere?"
Clay will moved/float towards the head of the wreckage and see what else he can see no in the pod
OOC:
if something when through the pod/dirt or if it got ejected kind of idea
Jun 17, 2019 9:29 pm
The Pod appears empty, and with little else as far as breakage or anything else.

Over the hill on the opposite side you see the body cross over the line of the horizon, Uhm hello?! the silhouette calls out as it moves closer. The young man appears to be of about the age of early 20s.
Jun 17, 2019 10:24 pm
"Hi yes, Did you come here to find the Falling star too?"

Jun 18, 2019 5:15 pm
The pod itself has left a clearing, obviously causing damage to the area of tress and grass, but the pod itself seems fine.

The rest of my friends who are camping with me are out looking for this thing too, I don't know if you want to head back to my camp or just wait here?

"I think this could be that falling star but it may have been something the Military was testing for their space program." Clay shrugs. "It might be dangerous though I wouldn't advise getting much closer then here. I'm from so I'll go make sure its safe to approach."
OOC:
whats the name of the nearest military installation?

No worries theres no rush i just wanted to bump this thread with some action so I wouldn't forget too
Jul 1, 2019 6:45 pm
As the two (or three) of you move through the woods, you find yourself at the camp there are two tents, a fire pit, and 3 people standing around the pit. Hey guys, where's Tanner?! Tune calls out to them.

She hasn't come back yet, one of the guys by the pit comments.
Jul 1, 2019 6:47 pm
"Which way did she go?" Clay asks. "Its possible if that was a shooting star it could be radio active.."
Jul 1, 2019 6:52 pm
Just over the hill the only girl in the group points to the hill just north of the site.

was that the way we just came?

"Hi I'm Clay I came out to see if it was a metor or something else that fell to the ground too."
"Perhaps shes using the lavatory?"
Jul 1, 2019 8:44 pm
Yeah maybe, we were gonna go out and check, but then you guys showed up. We figure someone should stay by the camp incase she comes back.
Jul 1, 2019 9:53 pm
"Sure, shes yalls friend i'll wait over here."
Jul 1, 2019 10:32 pm
The group moves out towards the direction they motioned, but Tune stays with you.
Jul 1, 2019 10:47 pm
A loud noise sounded as the microwave finished the popcorn. Luke pulled the bag out of the oven and split it open, throwing the buttery morsels into his mouth.

"If I didn't know what you could, I say you're crazy handling the bag the way you did. I narrowly avoid burning myself when I do that." Sera, Luke's younger sister, walks up to Luke with a bowl in hand. "Don't hog it all!"

Luke and Sera plopped on the couch and turned on Jump City's Got Talent. Outside the window, Luke saw a flaming object come crashing down in the forest. "Agh....Sera?"

"I know...I saw it. Flaming object and fire proof hero. Go get 'em, Solar. Maybe you'll actually have a night off for me someday. In the meantime, I'll just watch Downton Abbey."

"You're the best!" Luke kisses her on the head and musses her hair. Then, he quickly changed into Solar.

Solar made his way to the crash site and found an empty ship like structure. I saw a camp not too far from here. Maybe they saw something. Solar flew over to the campsite that he saw and is greeted with a few faces he doesn't know and one that he does.

"Clay? What's going on here? Did you see that ship back there?"

"Solar I'm glad you here, Could you take a look at that while I try to keep the civilians away." Clay says walking up to Solar. "I think it could be some ""Military space program ship"" but I didn't get the chance to check on it."
Jul 3, 2019 10:19 pm
OOC:
I figured it would be easier to assume that we know each other and that I'm part of the group. This way we can make up stories about things we've done in the past.
"Not a problem. Military, huh? I'll be careful."

Solar looks at the campers to see if he should be wary of something before he heads back over to the pod to investigate.
OOC:
What do I find at the pod?
Jul 4, 2019 1:02 am
You find a large metal circular pod, with a small crater around it, it also has a lot of broken trees around it.
OOC:
Make a perception check for anymore information?
Jul 7, 2019 2:01 pm
Solar looks around the crater and at the broken trees. Then, he turns his attention on the circular pod and tries to glean any information that he can from it.
OOC:
I think I did this right. Perception is a skill that I added 3 ranks into. Do I add any stat modifier as well?
OOC:
Edit: So, it didn't include the +3 that I thought I included on that roll.

AC for this works kinda like 10+ either dodge or parry based on if its melee or ranged.
You then either roll a Toughness, fortitude, or will check to see if the damage is substantial.
So with a 12, this thing misses you against essentially your AC of 19.

"Nah I've got my Jeep over the hill a bit that ways. We'll, see you around I guess?" Clay gives a nod and handshakes were applicable. And heads off towards his jeep where hopefully his friend returned once seeing the downed device.
