Quote:Ah, okay, I see now.
Which is why my ret-con of sating that the idea, while once abandoned, continues to resurface and be flirted with.
Quote:We ought to at least generate capsule descriptions of the major teams, then, and stash'em in the GM's book, just for quick reference...
AFAIK, pretty much every nation keeps their own super team.
Quote:Well, yes, that I remembered. Why else do you think I had what's-his-name hanging out with that new politically-active group?
Meanwhile the HAND is IIRC, basically defunct.
Quote:Could've been. It certainly has the right feel for his tenure.
Sure that wasn't Frank?
Quote:Footnote for all our listeners out there in radioland -- Panther is Helen's Beta character, a quasiferal half-human half-cat (not a shifter like Kat, but a hybrid). She noted that the loyal supers that Arcanum's Servant Factor virus created were commanded by voice, in fact specifically programmed to respond only to Arcanum's voice.
And Panther, Helens character, who might have remembered the most of the issue was mostly concerned with the fact that she was terrified that Arcanum was out to get her personally for ripping his larynx out.
So in the middle of one combat, she had a moment of opportunity and deliberately ripped out his throat.
He didn't die, but the damage permanently altered his voice -- he had to get a mechanical voicebox as a replacement. And probably had to re-infect all his servants with a variation on his original virus which would reprogram them to his new voice.
Until he personally left the planet, Panther was in constant fear of a reprisal of some sort.
