Encounter 1: Another Sunday Morning
All
"It's a bright Sunday morning in Island City. The few white clouds in
the sky complement the brilliant rays of sunshine over the State of
Hawaii. Only a few people are up and about this early -- fishermen,
kids playing ball, policemen and military personnel."
"It's the morning of December 7, 1941. The War engulfing the rest of
the world has yet to reach American soil. Although most people, even
here in Hawaii, seem complacent and secure with the a whole ocean to
protect both coasts, the US Navy and other Armed Forces have been
slowly preparing for the perhaps inevitable conflict."
El Gato
"Another early Sunday morning at work. You open the door to the animal
lab to the sound of a hundred different cute furry quadrupeds greeting
you. Are they happy to see you or is it just the food you bring them?
You don't really care, it's just nice to see all your furry friends in
a good mood. Well, times a wasting and these cats won't feed
themselves."
Peter Pan
"It's Sunday, it's early. You're asleep in your boat. Dimly in one part
of your mind you register the gentle rocking of the boat and the tromp
of people. Sounds like a lot of people moving about, talking in hushed
tones. Whatever they're up to, at least they're being quiet about it
you think as you drift back to sleep."
Kid Invincible
"This suit is the hardest thing you've ever tried to use. Ever since
you started using it more than two months ago you've been practicing
and practicing, getting better in fits and starts. The suit makes you
faster, stronger, hardier, you can even sometimes fly. This morning you
are out once again, practicing. Someday you figure you'll be good
enough to start fighting crime like the other super-heroes you hear
about on the radio news."

Rad, the Radiation Man
"Today is the culmination of years of painstaking work. Years of
schooling, a PhD from Island City University, a leader in the
almost-still theoretical field of Nuclear Physics. All with the aim of
curing your disease. Now, with military funding, you have finally
finished the RadiaCyclotron, which is sure to revolutionize the field
of medicine. It's worked on rabbits, dogs, birds, even your pet iguana.
Now it's time to test it on humans, and who better to be the first test
subject than yourself? As you sit in the RadiaCyclotron's chamber and
watch through the window at Holly setting up the instruments, you feel
strangely calm. With a smile and thumbs-up gesture, Holly turns the
RadiaCyclotron on."
Game Master Notes
Peter Pan should make a Perception check (AV/EV 4/6) vs OV/RV 6/3 (DEX
of the Assault Troops +2 CS OV asleep penalty) to see if he wakes up.
- 1 RAP (13): wakes up to loud noises.
- 2 RAPs (13): lots of people outside moving around.
- 3 RAPs (15): they're not speaking English and it
sounds like they have weapons!
Kid Invincible should make a Perception roll (AV/EV 5/4) vs OV/RV 7/5
(Thief: Stealth 5 +1 CS OV distance penalty) to accientally spot the
Sapper Team sneaking around the ICMRC:
- 1 RAP (15): there seems to be some activity at the
ICMRC.
- 3 RAPs (21): looks like some Japanese soldiers have
infiltrated the base.
- 7 RAPs (36): It's a Japanese Sapper Team and an
Assault Platoon geting ready to attack!
The other characters are too far inside to hear anything. Should either
of them rush to attack, the Japanese will begin the assault
prematurely. Peter Pan will be dealt with by Sumo while Tsunami (or the
Sapper Team) will deal with Kid Invincible. The Sapper Team will
detonate the bombs they have, leveling Labs 1 and 2.
