The Big Oops

8 June 2006-

We stayed with Supers this week, with Brian taking the helm for what I believe is his first Supers adventure, and we're off to a grim start. I'm reminded of Bill Cosby's routine where he hears his surgeon say "Oops!" and is left to wonder what went wrong. In this case, the people saying "oops" were at a local lab which specializes in government and military research, and their error (we hope it was an error!) killed tens of thousands of people in the surrounding area, since they are located adjacent to the Ohio State University's main campus. In the middle of the night, the lab was the epicenter for a strange energy blast which eliminated all metal in a radius of a couple of miles, as well as mutating the skeletal and physiological structures of all the living creatures in the area.

When we arrived on site, we discovered that all the humans we could find had been killed by the process, that the lab itself had largely collapsed, and that it now emanates a strange purple glow. We suited up in NBC gear (although we're not sure if that will even help much) and sent a recon team into the building. Inside, we encountered a group of mutated animals (probably large dogs before the Big Oops) which attacked us in en masse. We backed out of the building, and seem to have the horde of critters contained inside for now, but no one is too excited about going back in to see what caused all of this. We're thinking that it might be best to nuke it from orbit; it's the only way to be sure.
