Episode 4: Blast from the Past! Venture City Invasion!

[omegamods]

On a sunny Saturday morning, it's finally visible - high above Venture City, the descending asteroid. However, it's doing something no real asteroid would do - it's slowing down.

As the space rock comes to a halt, looking like a second moon over the city, several holographic screens emerge from it, all showing the same face.



"Greetings, Earth mammals! A new order is at hand!"

"Sixty six million years ago, a meteor fell, ending the age of my people on this planet. However, not all of us were lost! Thanks to mysterious alien technology found by my ancestors, we were able to escape from Earth before the disaster heralded the rise of your pitiful kind. At long last, with the help of the human Devious, we have found the lost homeworld once more! And so we strike against those that replaced us - we, the true masters of Earth, have returned! And I, Baron Von Tyrannosaur, shall be your new ruler!"

With that, smaller pods start to break off from the dinosaur mothership. As they hit ground (or in some cases, before then), they break open, revealing their cargo - dinosaurs! Some right out of the history books, some of them robots, and some of them somewhere in between!

As Protector watches from deep within the Omegabase, he gives the order. Venture City is under attack. Our time is now.

Calling all Omegafriends!

[[OOC: There will be three dedicated threads for the meteor team: Launch, Breach, and Showdown with Baron Von Tyrannosaur. Once these stubs are up, anyone going on the mission is free to post in them (maximum 8 heroes), and anyone else can reply directly to this post with their actions throughout the city - fighting dinosaurs, rescuing civilians, or even taking advantage of the confusion to commit a few crimes.

Most of the dinosaurs are non-intelligent, aside from the Baron and his immediate underlings. If you want us to NPC some dinosaurs, for a thread other than the last one, drop us a line. Good luck!]]

Peacock and Avery had arrived, as promised, both sporting their own spacesuits. Probably not a good idea to ask where those came from, or how they managed to find one in his size. She strapped herself in at the first opportunity, the little bird clinging tight to her shoulder.

"Yeah yeah, present an' accounted for. Now let's light this candle before I do it myself!" She meant it, too. The suspense here was murder.

"Three minutes left in the count!" Kerbal-X grabbed a pre-flight checklist and shoved it at Peacock. "Still gotta top off our cryogenic fuels and preform the final systems checks. But we're committed now, the system's on automatic-we either launch or we abort. And there's no escape tower on this rocket." The passengers might not understand how risky that made things, how that eliminated a failsafe mode, how they were sitting on a bomb, strapped in, with no way out if it cooked off from a stray dinosaur shot.

Jeb understood that perfectly. He just hoped that people would trust Kerbal-X to get them through this. Suddenly, his own voice crackled over the radio from the blockhouse. "X, This is Jebediah. You're Go for launch." A pre-recorded message-but it would blunt any suspicion of where the rocket-company owner was right now."

The alien guys strap themselves in, knowing that they were probably going on a one way journey. Well, at least the Alien Guys. Captain Shy Guy just thought this was cool.
