This week we do something a little bit different. Archie and Dave sit down to make characters for Mike’s new campaign, Out of Time. Both characters are displaced in time and trying to figure out their place in a new world.. while trying to save it.

Once a sidekick to the veteran hero and her father Captain Patriot, Savant battled crime in the 1950’s. When Captain Patriot was diagnosed with a cancer Savant opted to be cryogenically frozen with her father hoping to give him a friendly face to wake up to when a cure was found.

A student came to his teacher about a silly idea he had that would allow a person to teleport an object. Who would have suspected that they would tap into a fundamental force or reality only to emerge over twenty years later as the being Flux.

The new year has been rather hectic and due to scheduling conflicts we ended up setting up a number of secondary games. Today we begin the first of these new games, Seekers of SICAD.

In our first session we explore the team origins of the Seekers of SICAD.

The Missing Episode 8.5 – The Flyover

Unfortunately, due to issues with a recording, we lost one episode. The episode centered around the teens return to the school and a brief look at what lay below.

Flying back in an aircraft halfway between a stealth jet and transport helicopter, the Nighthawk the teachers debated the merits of involving the students any further. Hesitant, Moon Dog made the teens swear to secrecy to avoid students harming themselves by taking up heroics. All of them still somewhat shell shocked from the battle, each for different reasons agreed.

Two miles from the school the Nighthawk pulled into a secret mountain landing strip connected to a base and the school. There they were given an abbreviated tour by Mr. MacArthur AKA Primal as he led the teens to a one way escape platform in the gym’s equipment closet.

Although Moon Dog declared no more intervention from the students Primal pulled them aside for one more mission. Still in recovery from their first encounter with the Eisenreich, Primal asked the heroes to go back into Phoenix on the Saturday bus to learn what they can from the arcades. Of course, things are not always as easy as they seem.

Hashing things out with Ox and his Court might have been the beginning of things getting back to normal at Three Rivers. That is until the students learned that Professor White and Thomas ‘Hurricane’ Etom had disappeared. Following the trail to a ravaged area of Phoenix the group discovered that Professor White had been kidnapped and that apparently Thomas has signed on with a group of Neo-Nazis. There wasn’t much chance to think about the situation as Ox and Jester crashing through the window.
