Who: Saren and WHOEVER
Where: Some arbitrary place in L.A.
When: Early in the Morning Now....ish....
What: Saren shows up.  He absolutely does <i>not</i> bring Starbucks
Warnings: None


Early in the morning, just above Los Angeles, a spaceship appears.  Or rather, a spaceship disables its stealth systems, otherwise cloaking it from all but the most sophisticated earth instruments.  The ship has no clear markers or identifiers of any currently known-to humans organizations or alien species.  Approximately a hundred  feet long, it isn't terribly large, but sleek, the only sound a low thrumming engine, utterly alien.  It sets down carefully, despite it's largish size, not damaging any structures as it does so, its landing spot chosen purposefully.  

( It smells like failed emissions tests. )

WHO; Ori Heber/Sovereign & YOU.
WHERE; Cal State LA & a Generic Warehouse^tm. If you have another idea we can work it out!
WHEN: NOW!
WHAT; That depends...

( HEADS; public speaking )

( OR TAILS; not quite subtle machinations [prob can only nab a couple of people orz] )

Who: Black Ghost and YOU
Where: An apartment complex, Suburbia
When: April 15th
What: Black Ghost is out window shopping for some new test subjects
Warnings: Kidnapping, evil, probably some sort of violence

Black Ghost didn't usually handle these jobs himself, but he was willing to make sacrifices to ensure TRIDENT continued to be at the forefront as a global threat. That meant having the best scientific minds, technology, and of course the highest quality test subjects. So it was a little frustrating when the team handling genetic experiments was granted access to their newest alternian, instead of his. They'd been so close to a breakthrough on psionic fueled cybernetics with that last yellow blood they had captured, it would be such a waste if those geneticists ruined a perfectly good test subject, and psionics were so hard to come by. However, he wasn't above bartering, and he was certain they would change their minds with some more suitable subjects for their experiments on metahumans. He just had to acquire some.

It hadn't taken long to find a quiet neighborhood with medium security and plenty of cover, his accelerator made it quick work to find a young couple with an adorable baby. Exactly what he was looking for. His black outfit and the thick shrubbery around the apartment had made it easy for him to stay out of sight until the family went to sleep. Once he was certain the parents wouldn't be checking on their child for a while, he got up from where he had been lurking. It was a simple matter to jump onto the roof near the second story window, and a focused beam from one of his lasers would make quick work of the lock on the window.

Who: Signless, Robots, and YOU
Where: City Hall, and all over downtown LA.
When: April 14th
What: Signless bates the Cybetronians into having a big fight in downtown LA while attempting to get a valuable artifact. Earth civilians and superheroes are SUPER WELCOME to notice the fuss and try to stop the fighting/safe people from collateral damage.
Warnings: SUDDENLY ROBOT ULTRAVIOLENCE

Signless leaves himself, and the hammer, visible at first. He wants them to see him, to know that the battle is imminent - and with any luck, a conflict will start. He'll do his best to disappear and keep them hunting for him as as long as possible after he's initially been spotted. Maximum collateral damage is his goal.

It also helps that he's an empath. He'll be taking whatever opportunities he can to agitate people's emotions, whether it be anger, panic, or fear, in the attempt to make ever more chaos.

This is a party style log, meaning you can make you own threads and scenarios. Signless will be around with the hammer. LET'S MAKE THIS AS BIG OF A CLUSTERFUCK AS POSSIBLE, GUYS.

Who: Wanda and any Trailblazer (or anyone who works at the Trailblazer campus)
Where: West Coast Trailblazers, Main Building
When: Monday, April 7th
What: The Scarlet Witch comes by Trailblazers to give a guest talk about what it's like to be on Alpha Force! and also to talk to the trailblazers about their feelings.
Warnings: possibly feelings? idk.

( he is also possibly a weasel man or something )

[if your character has been a trailblazer for more than four or five months feel free to have them have met Wanda, just let me know so I can have her remember their name. or not, these lectures aren't mandatory, so it's totally cool if they just never ran into each other before.]

Who: Orion Pax and YOU
Where: Around the city.
When: Late March, basically whenever.
What: Having recent discovered that he has a holomatter avatar, Orion is now roaming the city like someone's confused dad.
Warnings: shrrruuuuggot. perhaps gay.

Exploring the city would have been a lot easier had Orion known how to do this earlier, but he supposes there is no point regretting wasted time now. Unlocking his holomatter avatar has given him a pleasant alternative to sitting in a parking lot and boredly zoning out into a haze of stress and confusion, and so he is happy to use this human shaped form to explore all the places he hasn't been able to previously.

While he technically does look like a middle aged man (who is not Charlie Swan), everywhere he goes he is followed by a constant air of curious bafflement, like a parent is when going to places they don't understand purely for the sake following their kid around. There is a lot of squinting and fondling going on in every one of these options.

A) Various book stores:

The most notable feature of this man's bookstore experience is that he appears to mostly be reading entire books whole while standing in front of shelves - very quickly, at that. The subject matter varies wildly, but he doesn't seem to be at risk of getting bored any time soon, nor do his legs ever appear to get tired.

Perhaps he has yet to catch on to the fact that reading whole books in bookstores is generally considered to be bad etiquette.

B) In which he goes AFK:

And here is that same man, standing in the middle of the street doing nothing. It isn't the busiest of streets, but he sure as fuck is just standing there while the world continues to go on around him, ostensibly while he stares into space and ignores the thread of oncoming vehicles.

This is actually happening because something distracting is happening wherever Orion's actual body is. Perhaps a sudden carjacking. Perhaps animals. It is a mystery.

C) In which Team Magma happens:

Team Magma can frequently be found doing something stupid, and in this case the stupid thing is trying to steal a bunch of lorries from a truck stop for unknown reasons. The rush the parking lot in a group of about twelve. Most of them are firebending.

Orion is just kind of standing around in the parking lot when this happens, not fully realizing what's going on until there are like a dozen costumed people throwing fire around aimlessly and yelling things about being TEAM MAGMA. Even after a moment of letting it sink in his expression is still more incredulous than anything.

He can not even believe this.
