At 0112 local time, January 1st, 2000, a 10 kiloton nuclear device detonated in the heart of Hong Kong, next to the IST Embassy. All hands are presumed lost at this time. Large Chinese troop movements have been sighted heading into the city. Calls were made, but local Commanders went on war footing.
IST Seoul, headed by Eidolon (Stephen Cross), deployed their four teams (four, five-super teams) to support various initiatives. Beta team was teleported to North District Hospital, in Sheung Shui to aid in the evacuation. Collidoscope stayed at the hospital in an abysmal attempt to calm the panicking civilians while the rest of the team moved out to near-by Fan-Kam Road to deal with an advancing infantry column.
Beta team discovered the first line of China’s manufactured metahuman army. Significantly tougher than normal humans, they put up a fight, seriously injuring Pebbles. However, the team was able to route the infantry column.
While the bulk of the team was fighting at the hightway, one of the infantry leaders, teleported into the hospital . . . directly in front of Collidoscope. They traded glances, and a failed curse, before Collidoscope dazzled the leader into stunned silence then tackled him out of the building.
Upon successfully evacuating the hospital, Beta team was returned to IST Seoul for a short debriefing and quick healing session for Pebbles. The team was informed that the Chinese were launching attacks from the ports, near the Jetco Terminal. Intelligence had decided that the Chinese had somehow snuck a boat into the harbor and were using it to stage attacks from.
The team teleported into an empty warehouse. Pebbles discovered a large section of scaffolding wasn’t assembled correctly and quickly drew the attention of Chinese Powered Armor troops. The railgun-equipped troops launched a coordinated assault on Beta team, nearly killing Hannes Lax.
All three squads were quickly defeated, however the discovery that they had power nullifiers with them caused the team some hesitation as Force of Nature’s powers were turned off near the end of the battle. The handful of Powered Armor troops that survived teleported away as the team realized they had been marked for an artillery strike.
There was no delay for them being whisked back to IST Seoul. Hannes Lax may not be returning to combat as he was nearly killed by a pair of railgun rounds.
