Hopebringer
Plenty of people get dragged into situations they really don't want to be in by ROBs, but very few get chosen by ROB's for more than basic amusement. I was unlucky enough to be one of them. Now I'm in Worm with a mission to save the world. Unfortunately, raw power isn't what works around here.
And we're back. Just a reminder, this will be shorter since its a PHO interlude. Enjoy!

Does anyone have any idea what was going on down at the Docks last night? I don't live far away and spotted a lot of flashing lights and explosions going on. Was there a Cape fight we don't know about?

Hell if I know, but the weathers was a little weird last night. This massive fog bank rolled in from nowhere
►Antigone
Replied On Dec 12th 2010:
Hows that weird? I thought fog was fairly common on the coast, especially in winter.
►BadSamurai
Replied On Dec 12th 2010:
It is, but you don't often end up choking on it. My mate got caught in it and nearly coughed his lungs up.

Replied On Dec 12th 2010:
Ah, that sounds like like a cape power to me. Do we know where Fog is these days?
►Bagrat (Veteran Member) (The Guy in the Know)
Replied On Dec 12th 2010:
No idea, but it wasn't Fog. According to my contacts, a new Cape went on the rampage down at the Docks last night and killed a heck of a lot of people, including Victor, Stormtiger, Alabaster and at least twenty thugs. The fog was created by one of Alucards teammates to keep anyone from entering the affected area.

Replied On Dec 12th 2010:
Hell of a way to keep people out. That shit really hurt!
►Acree
Replied On Dec 12th 2010:
Who was it who made the fog? And just how many people does Alucard have working with him now? Its got to be at least four, right?
►Bagrat (Veteran Member) (The Guy in the Know)
Replied On Dec 12th 2010:
Well, we know about Ruler and Saber, but there have been reports of a guy with a bow whos been seen patrolling with Ruler on occasion and now this fog generating Cape. Thats...rather a lot. I really hope it doesn't turn out that Alucard and his friends are Villains or we might be in trouble.

Don't worry guys, we're firmly Heroes. Sorry you got caught up in the mist GoodNinja, but we couldn't risk anyone stumbling onto the battlefield. Spartacus was not pulling his punches. Assassin says shes sorry.

Its fine I guess. Better than getting caught up in a Cape fight anyway. Also, Assassin? Not exactly the most heroic name, is it?
►Bagrat (Veteran Member) (The Guy in the Know)
Replied On Dec 12th 2010:
Can you tell us what happened down at the Docks Ruler?
►Ruler of Machina (Verified Cape)
Replied On Dec 12th 2010:
Sure, thats why I'm here. As Bagrat said, last night a new Cape called Spartacus appeared in the Docks and started killing Empire thugs who were working at one of the warehouses they apparently used to store...illicit substances. Stormtiger and Victor were present and engaged, but were quickly killed, along with their men. The Protectorate arrived shortly after, followed by us and we engaged Spartacus in battle.
We managed to ware him down, despite his ability to regenerate and turn the damage we dealt into power, but he ended up using a suicide attack to try and take us and a good chunk of the city with him. You might have seen the purple flash last night.
►BadSamurai
Replied On Dec 12th 2010:
Holy shit, thats what that was? That was only a few blocks from where me and Ninja took cover!
I...think I need to go have a drink and lay down...

Looks like the PRT just released a press release and its got video! Its...well, I don't think words can do it justice. All I can say is that powers are bullshit.

PRT official (Original Poster) (Official Account)
Posted On Dec 12th 2010:
As I'm sure that everyone is aware, last night a large scale Parahuman battle took place in the Trainyard area of the Docks. The combatants consisted of the Protectorate Capes Armsmaster, Assault, Battery, Velocity and Miss Militia with assistance from the recently formed Team Grail, consisting of Alucard, Ruler, Saber, Archer, Caster and Assassin and a new Cape identified as Spartacus. The battle was mildly destructive, but resulted in no casualties, other than Spartacus himself who committed suicide rather than be taken into custody.
Unfortunately, prior to the Protectorate and Grail's arrival, Spartacus destroyed and Empire 88 Safehouse and managed to kill a number of gang members, along with the Capes Stormtiger, Victor and Alabaster. As far as can be ascertained, Spartacus was acting alone and had no connection to any other group.
Helmet cam footage has been authorised for release, located HERE. Warning, graphic content.
The PRT and Protectorate would like to extend thanks to Grail and condolences to the families of the deceased.

Off the record, I'd like to be the first to say that Parahumans are bullshit. Seriously guys, watch the video and try to disagree with me.
►Allseeingeye

I...I find myself unable to disagree Reave. Seriously, how in the hell did Saber even do that?!
►Deadman
Replied On Dec 12th 2010:
Well, this is unusual, seeing the resident know it all lost for words. I do agree though, that was impressive.
►Antigone
Replied On Dec 12th 2010:
I like how the PRT implies that Grail was backing them up when it looked more like they did all the work. Typical government lackeys.
►Brocktonite03 (Veteran Member)
Replied On Dec 12th 2010:
So I guess that confirms what people have been saying for a while, Ruler, Saber and Alucard really are a team. Who are the others though? I haven't heard of Caster, Archer or Assassin.

Ruler of Machina (Original Poster) (Verified Cape)
Posted On Dec 12th 2010:
So, since the PRT's press release served to introduce us, I figured I'd put this together so people can get some idea of who we are. Lets start from the top.
Alucard: The leader, despite his age. He's been around, but generally prefers not to act in the open if he can help it.
Ruler: Thats me! I'm a Tinker speculating in Wavelength manipulation, although I do have a few other skills I'll be keeping to myself.
Saber: I'm pretty sure you all know her by now if the NSFW pages are anything to go by. Shes a Brute/Shaker with Pyrokinesis and the ability to summon her Theater, which is a lot more than just a fancy building.
Assassin: The youngest of our group, shes a Stranger with the ability to erase information about herself and create a cloud of acidic mist she can control. Its doubtful she'll ever act in the open since shes kinda shy.
Archer: Nice guy and a great teacher, hes a bit older and always calm and collected. Hes a powerful Blaster who uses a bow and arrow. He also really likes horses.
Caster: Japanese fox-girl whos rather attached to Alucard. Shes a rather powerful Shaker who can create a wide range of different affects, ranging from ice to fire.
Berserker: The newest member of our group, she arrived just this morning. Shes a powerful Brute with the power to generate lightning from her mace. Do NOT piss her off or she'll really live up to her name!
Thats everyone for now, but I'm sure there'll be more in the future. I'll update this when that happens.

...well, I can't say I expected this when I woke up this morning. Sereously, how did a new team of Capes who nearly outnumber the Protectorate appear out of nowhere without anyone noticing?
►Brocktonite03 (Veteran Member)
Replied On Dec 12th 2010:
No idea, but I think I've seen a couple of them around. In fact, I'm pretty sure I saw Caster down the grocery store the other day.

Hi Grail. I know this might be a bit sudden, but I'm desperate. I know what you have, what you can do if you really try. I'm asking, no, I'm begging for you to help me and my family!

Welp, that took both less and more time than I expected. I'm not entirely pleased by it, but since it was being a pain in the rear to get done, I decided not to agonize over it to much. As much as I enjoy reading these in other stories, I can see why they are used sparingly.
Oh my, it appears that someones getting desperate! Just what does this mean for Alucard and his friends? Should be interesting, no?
Theres...honestly not much to say here, so I'm just going to sign off. Don't forget to leave a review and go vote on the poll!
