Evil Mike as the GM: evil, cruel alien being from another planet.<\/p>\n
The Scum of the Earth (no, really, that’s their cell’s code name).
\nBen as Mr. Smith: able to duplicate himself with ease. (Lord help us!)
\nLee as Mal \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Hex\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Hexington: can go insubstantial at will and packs a powerful punch when substantial.
\nShawn as Viridian: greatest Atlantean scientist ever! (Just ask him.)
\nSteve as Strike: produces and controls lightening at will.
\nMike as Arc-Light: a super sorcerer and a handy guy to have around.<\/p>\n
Dr. Destruction called the villains via his telepathic link to meet his emissary at the Crooked Nose bar to find out the details on their next mission. \u00c2\u00a0Striker was left out of this mission as this one calls for subtlety well beyond Striker’s skills.<\/p>\n
The contact (Dr. Horrible and his moist sidekick) told them they were to rescue some prisoners from a V’Sori compound in Connecticut.\u00c2\u00a0They are being held in a renovated state police headquarters building. The team seemed more interested in getting paid for their troubles than finding out just how much trouble they would be in. Assuming they live through this, they may be more curious about the specifics next time. Dr. Horrible was less than impressed, but Mr. Smith surreptisously took a mug that Dr. Horrible used in order to frame him later.<\/p>\n
They quickly headed to the airport in their disguises. Mr. Smith and Arc-Light had no trouble getting on the plane. Hex seemed to think his disguise as a mild mannered graphic designer would be sufficient and Viridian was\u00c2\u00a0certain his “Big Momma” drag outfit would fool any TSA agent based on his past experience at airports. They were both wrong. Lucky for them, the TSA just had them removed from the airport as they had “real criminals” to look for.<\/p>\n
So, while Mr. Smith and Arc-Light waited patiently in Connecticut, Hex and Viridian rode the train.\u00c2\u00a0Hex, turned ghostly and spent most of the ride trying to find Viridian. Viridian built himself a fancy coffin with HDTV and a coin operated vibro-bed (might as well have) and shipped himself to Connecticut.<\/p>\n
Finally getting together, the unlikely voice of reason (Arc-Light) suggested they steal a vehicle to get to the coordinates. Mr. Smith insisted on talking to a bank manger, taking out a loan, getting Dr. Destruction to co-sign it, and then leasing a van…where he would then place the stolen mug to frame Dr. Horrible. Eventually reason won out as they realized (after the GM re-read the line about them being villains) that Dr. Destruction is not concerned with how “legal” they are.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, Arc-Light is inside the building…but we’ll get to that in a minute.<\/p>\n
Viridian and Mr. Smith decide it’s time to make their move. Viridian, pops the locks on the front gate, rewires the cameras to send a looped signal back to the monitors, set’s up a broadcast station to send the real camera video to his helmet and directly into his brain. Not bad.\u00c2\u00a0Mr. Smith spends\u00c2\u00a06 rounds\u00c2\u00a0moving 3″ at a time towards the enemy.<\/p>\n
Now back to Arc-Light. He’s inside the cell block, killed a drone, (invisible and intangible) and desperately\u00c2\u00a0avoiding detection by the mass of drones and K’Tharen troops. He finally figures out what he’s going to do just before the prisoners are to be taken outside.<\/p>\n
Unfortunately, the rest of the\u00c2\u00a0Scum are focusing on taking over the large M’Bunta ship, even though all the\u00c2\u00a0K’Tharen and drones seem to be concentrating on the smaller Manta.\u00c2\u00a0Hex finally pops up out of the ground (8″ behind where he started) and has worked his way to the drivers seat of the M’Bunta…except he can’t pilot…when he realizes that the smaller\u00c2\u00a0ship is more likely\u00c2\u00a0where the prisoners are\u00c2\u00a0headed.<\/p>\n
Viridian has been mind controlling the crap out of drones and K’Tharens\u00c2\u00a0leaving openings for the rest of the\u00c2\u00a0Scum. Mr. Smith has moved another 9 inches…but then finally gets to open fire, drops a few drones. Arc-Light, rapid\u00c2\u00a0teleports into the midst of\u00c2\u00a0a K’Tharen squad and tries to teleport blind with the three prisoners, but fails. The K’Tharen’s beat on him but his toughness proves to be too much!<\/p>\n
Now with the prisoners outside Arc-Light tries once again to teleport the prisoners and succeeds! With a mighty shout of “Suck It!” to the K’Tharen Warlord sitting in his ship. Shavak decides better to kill the prisoner than lose them, and as he flies away, he blasts the prisoners to smithereens…the Scum escape in the M’Bunta but know they must ditch it in minutes or risk dying from the\u00c2\u00a0V’Sori Man O’ War bearing down on them.<\/p>\n
Dr. Destruction is not happy and certainly will not be donating to their lair…Dr. Horrible spends months basking in the glory of being identified as the mastermind behind the plot based on his fingerprints being found in a van nearby. His status among the other villains is growing quickly!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
