//Bladewind, could you summarize what info we get from the files and what info we got from different sources and maybe what leads we have?
The young man talking to Samuel - the odd one out as it were as he is the only one currently with no connection to anyone else - chimes in.
"I have no idea why the lot of you suddenly wound up together, but my name's Jason Dent. I came here as, oddly, I didn't know where to turn and as my t-shirt kinda says, I have faith in the big guy as it were."
He has print outs of various files (and a USB key if you want it). It's information that Smith saw, more fluff to it though. There's still no real indication as to why you've all been manipulated - there really is no other word - together, but the crux is that there is a slowly going concern that may or may not be on the radar of organizations like the DXDO and the like. People are spontaneously combusting with no real rhyme or reason. The only common thread is that they are all non-powered Earthers. There are other stats of deaths and attacks on Earthers, Mergers and people with MSG but nothing stands out like the flame deaths... well, there's nothing as interesting to run conspiracies about at least...
Other information you can put together is a small thread of Alice in Wonderland elements. Not necessarily centered on Alice, although she did have a very brief encounter with variants of the Red Queen earlier today. Pratfall's encounter with the Jester was more directly linked to Alice in Wonderland...
Other details that may or may not be relevant are that the Supergirl TV show recently resumed filming, telling stories about events that happened on the Merged Earth as opposed to trying tell stories about the "fictional" Girl of Steel. They're filming in San Fransokyo. Other shows have resumed as well, but none are currently filming in the city.
One of Amy's personalities has a thought... or maybe remembers something... it was during the Incursion. Something about a particularly heavy assault on a city. There was a response from a group of aliens that disappeared right after they drove back the nasties. No one has heard hide nor hair of them since - but they looked completely human so it's not really surprising...
"I also have powers." Dent adds, "I'm indestructible. At least, I think I am. Haven't tested the limits." Samuel knows that he's not telling his whole story, but Dent does not seem to be holding back any information regarding the situation with the Earthers bursting into flames and is genuinely perplexed at why he chose Samuel of all people to confide in.
"Maybe we can sort that out for you, mate." The door to the church opens, and framed in the light of the frame is a group of people. "We want the squirt and the matchstick. The rest of you are inconsequential. For now anyway."
You count at least six individuals. One burly male with dreadlocks. His massive block sunglasses hide his eyes. A woman in what could almost be described as uniform for a group akin to the X-Men (with no logo), a man in similar uniform with a tall mohawk (and probably not nearly as cool as he thinks he is), two obvious tanks standing about a foot taller than the rest, and what looks like a droid perched on the shoulder of one the powerhouses. It was the guy with the mohawk that spoke.
OOC - post init in your next posts, although definitely not friendly they aren't moving to attack... yet.
