Ghost Girl Subplot C1

Ghost Girl

"You wake up in the morning underneath your bed, feeling sick."

Ghost Girl, being from another dimension, particularly vulnerable to certain forms of radiation, such as that emitted by Rad (and both Sharks). The months of working with him have finally started to affect her and she will feel constantly run down. Keep reminding the player that Ghost Girl is a bit under the weather.

This won't be enough to affect her in game play unless Rad (or Prof Jones) is close by (within 1 AP, 20 feet). In this case assume she has a Minor Power Burnout (Roll 2) on all her powers, rolled each phase for Automatic Powers. Opponents get a +1 to their die roll to hit Ghost Girl. Both of these drawbacks can be implemented without the player knowing (unless Ghost Girl suffer a Power Burnout).

Awards:

Ghost Girl: +1/2 if she sees a doctor or does something proactive.

Riff Subplot B1

Run this once the robot goes under.

Riff

"As your robot plunges into the briny sea, you can't help but think 'I should have installed a flotation device!'"

If Riff angsts over this or goes overboard after the robot or does anything else that causes him to hesitate for a phase, give him a +1/2 Subplot Award. Never fear though, the Devastatron will be back...

Rad Subplot A2

Run this scene before Encounter 1.

Rad

"The Inspectors from the Criminal Investigation Division are back asking questions in the aftermath of the MechaGodzilla incident."

The two investigators -- Thompson and Manetti, have it in for Prof Jones. They *know* that he's suspicious and believe that he is a Japanese agent. They will ask where he was during the attack and if anyone can provide an alibi for him.

From Riff and Ghost Girl they will ask if they saw Prof Jones during or before the attack and will be quite interested if Ghost Girl reveals that she went into Prof Jones' office during the attack and didn't see him there.

Awards:
  • Ghost Girl: +1/2 for mentioning going into Prof Jones' office.
  • Riff: +1/2 for mentioning Prof Jones' quick disappearance in Issue 6 (Lines of Death)
  • Rad: +1/2 for being here. +1/2 if he creates more trouble for himself or his teammates.
