Society of Cover Identities

by Feral

Thursday, December 10, 2009
 

I am working my way toward a kitchen -- I want to see what I can repurpose for making the Society of Rao cover hold up a little stronger.

(And maybe I will draw Castle out, after all?)

 
After disabling camera, smoke detector, monoxide detector, and room lights: I have used bleach gel to etch the Society of Rao symbol in the kitchen, as if carved with heat vision.

 
Meanwhile, Kilimanjaro is attacking at the lobby.

 
  • AIM set up multiple "emergency 'ejection' tunneling devices", Mole Men style straight from The Tick cartoon

  •  
  • Golden Lotus plans to have Kilimanjaro raise up a magma tube that did not already exist in this area to create a "volcano" and melt this building

  •  
  • we're on LIMESTONE

  •  
  • -- which is why the Metropolis Underground is a thing! --

  •  
  • about half a decade ago, this part of the oldest part of the city of Metropolis abruptly sank in a giant sinkhole

  •  
  • about 20+ years ago, frakkin' Dr. Teleios built a secret lair below Metropolis with a gigantic natural cavern full of an artificial environment

  •  
  • about 8 years ago, a secret government effort built an underground complex a little ways west of here, (headed by now disgraced and arrested General Thunderbolt Ross) to create Project: Quantum Leap


 
We need to halt this fiasco in progress. If we don't, the bedrock will get cracked, and the Lackawanna River will flood the Hollows -- drowning everyone who lives here. And possibly sinking the rest of southern Metropolis in a ground collapse event.

 
I have one can of whipped topping. I'm shaking it as I head toward the lobby fight.

The topping will add a disrupting slickness to what Kilimanjaro does, which might give me a thirty second gap in which to talk sense into the lot of the combatants. They are about to kill themselves, their allies, and all surrounding citizens, which will make them Acquisition Number One for Team Luthor and Teleios both. Maybe don't?
