Subject: Could be!
Opening post is up and the game is afoot!
If any of you would like to post, we're calling the game OPEN, now.
Penumbra's team is currently on stand-by at a Project Facility in the Chicago area. You'll receive orders to deploy to Michigan to acquire the subject, there... Feel free to play into that, if you like.
Syphon's team is currently working on that "green thing" in New Mexico (and not having much luck) but will receive orders to pull out and make for LA. Same thing, Tann... Play up your team's being called off and re-directed.
Overwatch - up to you as to where Afton is, at the moment (could be at his office/lab at the MARSH or anywhere else you'd like him to be... aboard a jet, on one of his survival excursions, etc). He'll get a call from Ashcroft's tech informing him of the shortage of assets in South America and "request" that Overwatch get there ASAP.
The rest of you - how about some posts about where you are and what you're doing at mid-day on this fine American holiday?

Subject: Volume 1; Issue 1 - Round Up

"Sir?"
Benton Ashcroft blinked and turned in his seat but found he was unable to tear his gaze from the view beyond the Gulfstream's window; something about the way the icy waters of Baffin Bay winked up at him, perhaps, or the glimmering of the late morning light off of the snow that perpetually blanketed Greenland had him transfixed. He blinked, again, still unable to let go of the glittering vista until its hypnotic effect was dispelled by the jet suddenly carving its way through a cloud bank. He was relieved to have been released from the spell, of course, but, at the same time, somewhat disheartened that those rare few moments of blissful, mental silence had been interrupted. "Yes," he couldn't help but sigh as he finally managed to train his eyes on the young technician who had addressed him, "what is it?"
"We've located several more, sir," the tech answered, gesturing briefly at the bank of monitors that curved around his console.
"Really," the tinge of dejection that had been evident in Ashcroft's voice a second ago had, now, been completely overrun by an almost excited tone. He tossed his tablet almost carelessly onto the seat adjacent to his as he got to his feet, and didn't even bother to straighten his tie as he moved toward the forward part of the cabin; "How many?"
"Four, sir."
"Four?"
"Yes, sir." The technician's fingers were flitting across the keyboard as Ashcroft came up behind him and gazed upon the monitors,
"Any of them close?"
"A couple, sir," the tech answered over a clatter of keystrokes that caused the world map dominating one of the monitors to light up in several locations. "Looks like we've got three currently in the States,"
An icon flashed over what would be south-eastern Michigan, one flickered in central Tennessee, and another appeared on the Western side of the San Andreas Chasm, right about where Los Angeles would be,
",and one more in South America.
That one was in Bolivia at last look, sir, but was moving at a fairly good clip towards Paraguay.
All of them are registering A-3 at a minimum."
"Do we have teams available," Ashcroft asked, rubbing thoughtfully at his chin as his eyes devoured the map.
"Delta Sigma Three is currently on stand-by at the Chicago office," the younger man answered, "they could likely be on site in Ann Arbor within the next couple of hours and then re-direct to Tennessee, afterward. Our California group currently has Alpha Echo Six tasked with an op underway in New Mexico,"
Ashcroft scowled; "That green thing, again?"
"Yes, sir."
"Call them off and redirect them to L.A.," Ashcroft ordered, "It would be a banner day if they could lock that New Mexico problem down but I have a feeling the resources would be better spent on the A-3 in California. Easier to acquire, I think."
"Yes, sir," the tech nodded, his fingers dancing over the console. "Unfortunately, we don't currently have anyone available in South America, We could have dispatched the Sao Paolo office ," he continued, "but one of their tethers went rogue on Thursday and,"
There was an impatient nod from Ashcroft; "I'm aware of that. Options?"
"Uh," the technician's fingers clattered over the keys, "we do have some local resources we might dispatch to, at least, get eyes on the subject,"
Ashcroft was absolutely beaming, now, and the tech was sure he could hear the man's hands rasping together as he wrung them anxiously. "Make it happen. Round them up and have them delivered to The MARSH. In the next seventy-two hours, if possible. If the local resources in South America have problems, send Overwatch," Ashcroft commanded, backing towards his seat. He found himself transfixed, again; this time by the glowing, flame-shaped icons that danced on the monitor.

Grugg - before I go ahead and arbitrarily assign Nate the codename "Boomer," would you prefer something else? Take a look at the powers and let me know.

Subject: Trust me...
...this plot is thicker than a London fog! 
Working on finishing up our confirmed (and concepted) characters, now... Also adding some info to the first few entries in the Q&A as I go.
Note to the Project people, again... Your uniforms and/or armor will all have a patch or emblem like the one shown in the "Project Prometheus and the M.A.R.S.H." entry on page 1 of this thread (along with your unit patch if you're on a recovery team).

Topic: Genesis Q&A
Subject: Not always...
Per my "Notes for the Project People" post on the previous page of this thread:
Recovery Teams typically consist of five people. Most often a Metahuman Asset and four "normal" humans. (There is a faint possibility that one or more of them will be powered beyond the capabilities of their armor/weapons.)
So, the is a slim possibility that the Meta "lead" won't be the only powered individual on the team. Often times, in these cases, it's simply another meta at a lower power level than the lead (this is usually for those team leads who have "proved their loyalty" to the Project)... In other cases, one of the team members could be what's known as a "Tether"... if there's one of those on your team and you're not aware of it, the Project doesn't trust you and, in the field, you're probably being more than a little bit controlled.

Subject: :D
The people behind the Project are smart enough to know that sending a meta to catch a meta is the wise play and, the more metahuman assets they get, the more recovery teams see themselves having powered team lead. Each team tends to base their tactics on what is needed/best utilized by the meta.

Topic: Genesis Q&A
Subject: Technically, yes...
Being the metahuman asset on a recovery team means that your team is tactically aware of your abilities and, as such, tend to deploy how you decide to best support the use of your powers.
Mission directives are, of course, provided by Project Prometheus via the MARSH.

...you both work for the same side but you're not on the same team... At least at first. Penumbra heads up Delta Sigma 3, Syphon leads Alpha Echo 3.

Subject: Hijacked posts!
NOTE: I've hijacked some posts on the first page of this thread in order to reserve space for forthcoming info. Character listings have been moved to the second and third posts on page 1 (Titled "The Agents" and "The Ain't Havin' Its" respectively). If your character is in the employ of project Prometheus at game start, you'll be listed under "The Agents." If you're character is a detainee/subject, you'll find yourself listed under the "Ain't Havin' Its."
Info pertinent to the MARSH, Recovery Teams, NPCs, etc will appear in the hijacked posts as need be.

Subject: Just because they're not posted...
...doesn't mean they're not finished!
As a matter of fact, once I gave him the powers I had imagined (and taken care of stats, skills, etc) I found myself with points left over... sooooooo, I'm kind of just trying to determine if I make him more than super scary and boost his powers a bit, or, instead, if I throw those points at other bonuses.
In other words, he's all but done, i just have to divvy out a few more points to "polish him off." Grugg's character is coming right along, too... We'll be starting Monday, I'm sure. 
Also - I'm off to my youngest daughter's 24th birthday party. Don't expect any updates from me until later tonight or tomorrow morning.

Subject: Heh! Lookit me, luring in the lurkers!
And, yeah, everyone feel free to check out the original game, if you like. Some of the characters there are bound to turn up in THIS run, I'm sure.
As far as how that one started out, this one will be similar but, as opposed to writing out the captures, myself, we're gonna RP them out... Gets you guys posting quicker and gives me an idea of how you're going to handle and possibly develop your powers through the game.

Subject: Notes for the Project People
Recovery Teams are deployed on VTOL craft known as Carnivals.
The Carnival is the only air freighter of its kind, retrofitted to handle metahuman transport. She has six power plants (four for the engines and two for the containment units), rear ramp access and VTOL capabilities. She also holds ten containment units for prisoners as well as seating for five people (i.e. a recovery team) behind secured bulkheads. All interior components are double-protected against electronic countermeasures and control.
Carnivals may be supported in recovery efforts by Kiowa Warrior helicopters and/or Humvees.
Recovery Teams, as mentioned above, typically consist of five people. Most often a Metahuman Asset and four "normal" humans. (There is a faint possibility that one or more of them will be powered beyond the capabilities of their armor/weapons.)
Standard Issue Recovery Team Gear
- Armored Jumpsuit/Uniform
- Commlink
- Heavy Pistol/SMG/Shotgun/Sniper Rifle
- Combat Knife
- "Subduer" (Basically a glorified grenade launcher/stunner)
- Snare Grenades
- Sleep Gas Grenades
- Tear Gas Grenades
- Smoke Grenades
- Stun Gun
More Details To come re: Gear
If Overwatch deploys, he does so via D.A.D.D.E., though, dependent on his location when he's asked to or decides to deploy, he does have the option of a Private Jet (belonging to either the Project or his own Company).
More info to come.

Subject: Sweet! We're very close...
Got Grugg's concept and will work on powering him up, today.
Stubbed in Nomad and will await his return and receipt of a concept before I plop him down in the game... we'll likely get started before he returns but I've got plenty of ways to bring him in once we're already underway.
That gives me the full boat of 8 players that i was looking for and, as such, I'm gonna go ahead and call recruitment closed.

Subject: Duration.
I hope it'll last longer than a month. My original thoughts were that Prometheans:Genesis would end with at least some of the characters coming together to form a team... Leading to Prometheans:Exodus or some such. We'll see what happens.

Same goes for all of you! If you have any questions about your powers/abilities/etc feel free to PM me.
Brom's already gotten back to me with some input re: D.A.D.D.E. that have possibly tweaked the suit and/or his innate powers a bit.
Silent's asked some really good questions about her abilities.
I'm all ears if'n ya wanna ask!
