Oh, since we have all worked together, here is a more concise run down of Kestrel's powers.

She can turn into Air/Nitrogen and fly through the air where she is practically invisible and insubstantial.  She controls the weather to an extent, but weather is stubborn at times. ;) She is one with the wind and can channel the wind for attacks that will knock people back and it is very hard to sneak up on her as well.

Archer is an incredibly (superhumanly) intelligent young woman:  brilliant by any measurement scaling.

She is best known for (and it remains her primary field of research and expertise) her work in Quantum Physics/Mechanics.  She seems very interested in how, and why, the elements of the universe interact with each other the way they do.

Recently, she also completed her Honours in Medical Science.
Currently, she is studying (online) a Bachelor of Law and Criminal Sciences.

Beyond that, on a MetaHuman level, (as well as the super Intelligence) she has demonstrated the ability to grow up to nearly 24' (7+ meters) high, and shrink down to a Microscopic size.


She is a registered Meta, and a respected scientific personage:  which has equated to great status and wealth over the years.

I do enjoy hearing more about Z.
We should, however, work out why she is still here ... and if it involves 'not yet able to leave because her ship needs repairs', we should discuss why (and I mention only Archer here, for I don't know whether others could help) Archer ... a brilliant scientist ... hasn't been able to help Z fix her sky-buggy.

However, maybe Z has simply decided to stay ... and that point is moot.

And how she got from Cleveland to Bay Town. :)

Kestrel can't help with fixing the ship, although she is decent with computers. :)

The current state of mind of The Zenith is that she expects to leave when her ship is fixed. The tech and materials would be far beyond Earth's ability, and I suspect when the item does show up there will be an issue with customs.

Having Dr. Archer work on it would be wonderful. Mind you, much like me and an automobile, The Zenith has no clue about the technical issues, so she would be less than no help. Also need to find out from the Adjudicator how much of her tech is being hidden from Earth for whatever reason, by whatever official body would be doing such things. The ship might be on the moon for all I know.

As I have no clue where Bay Town is makes Kestral's questions difficult to dive into, though I imagine The Zenith does travel. I see her Judo teacher as actually being in Japan, in my mind. I wonder if she can have some sort of universal translator, as it really wouldn't be a 'power' per se.

If we met battling the Mole creatures, I could easily see her following along afterwards with her new acquaintances though, regardless.

In reply to The Zenith (msg # 122):

Bay Town is in Tampa, where so far we are being based out of.  As that is the only location suggested for starting at the time and it meets a lot of Adjucator's desires for what is in and around the city.

Oh, good to know.

Funny, that makes two games I have in that area, the other being just south of Tampa. Might be fun if we get roleplay time between adventures to have my two characters meet.

Adjudicator:  your thoughts on this, please. Maybe it could come under the 'Inventing' rules, with Archer working to accumulate enough knowledge of Cosmic Crafts, to figure out how to fix it?
(then, possibly, having to 'create a new element' and forge the required parts following that success ... which would lead to quite some time/storylines to achieve?!?)


Adjudicator, would you be willing to let Z have one as a bonus piece of equipment?
Continuing to offer Archer's expertise and intelligence as solutions:  Archer might have designed such for Z.

We'll assume Z had a translator, they probably had them in the emergency stores for getting stranded on backward planets. No, the conglomerate that builds the starships has expressly forbidden allowing natives of pre-galactic civilizations to examine their technology. The ships will self-destruct before allowing this to occur.

Six of one, half a dozen of the other, we are supposed to be heroes on Earth, not a party of super-powered starfarers.

Thank you for the update!

Curious, how much is Bay City akin to Tampa Bay, can I use local tourist attractions and such as role-play fodder?

It would be similar enough you can use local attractions, just change the venue's names.

In reply to Ajudicator (msg # 128):

Excellent, I like being able to cruise the net for research and colorful locations.

Maybe I will drop down to Cape Carnival to watch a launch! hehehe...

Someone has recognized this adventure, it is from a published one.
But it's not JUST from a published adventure. It's from the FIRST published adventure. It has the characters in it statted out for BOTH the 1979 and 1982 versions of the game and was published BEFORE the revised rules. To make it even MORE impressive, it was written by Bill Willingham.
SO, you have every possibility of being able to access Death Duel With The Destroyers. But we're all experienced and capable RP'ers, so I expect your discretion at utilization of meta information.

No way, Hosé.
I hate knowing this stuff in advance.
Lets rock this nostalgic awesomeness.

I recognized it immediately.  BUT, I have no interest in spoiling the adventure and also don't remember every detail anyway (it's been YEARS).  So... rock on! :D

I figure Saber 7 showed up near the end of the fight with the Mole Men, too late too do much, but not too late to at least meet you guys.  The mech is about 10' tall and weighs as much as a full-sized van.  Humanoid, but not human looking, obviously bulky, mechanical.  Has fold out 'wings' that produce a Ground Effect that lets it skim along like a hovercraft.  When it speaks, the voice is synthetic, at least so far.

Greetings Saber 7.
Have we (the characters) met the person inside the mech yet?

Also,  yum yum, can Archer offer to help upgrade and maintain the mech?

hey Saber 7, nice mecha! :)

Thanks gang!

I figure Saber is playing it a bit shy with stepping out of the mecha.  So, not yet.  Something that will definitely happen soon in game of course.  They would have given a contact frequency to the rest of the team of course.

As for offering to make repairs, if Archer offers, Saber replies, "Thanks.  But no need... yet."

The only thing that sounded familiar to me was the villain, no recollection of the adventure. No interest in looking it up though. Heck, I don't even read threads that take place away from my character.

It was the big storm and then the name that finally jogged my fuzzy old memory. More may yet come to me but I’ll keep my mouth shut about it.

Shocked me, glancing at Google I discover that Manhattan isn't an island!?! How odd. I always thought it was.

I'm not sure how fast Agent's jet car is, but Saber's top speed is 200 mph GEV.  So depending on the car's speed, I may have to wait a while to join you.

People in that area don’t seem to understand what an island is ie Stanton island, Rhode island. Not sure what they think it means!

About how fast is Agent 9's car, please?  Just trying to figure out how much behind I'll be. ;)
