Good Intentions

Well I find myself with some time on my hands, so I am going to try and catch up on some posts I have been meaning to make so here I go. In case you are wondering this is about the attempt to Ron's sister out that went so wrong. First a explaination of what the plan was and we will go from there. The plan originaly involved Two members of my team AdamaGeist and myself, the plan involved the four of us going in Astraly, I realize most of you may be asking what good would that do and normally you would be right save that Adama is not the only one that can enter the Astral Physicaly and exit somewhere else. Again some of you may be saying ok great for Adama and I how does this help get Rhonda out, that is where a little item I was able to get ahold of came in, an Amulet that among other things had the ability to turn the user into an Astral being. I was going to use this Item to get Rhonda out, at least that was the plan. However plans seldom work the way we want and this one is no differant, the start of the problems was Adama was out of commision due to problems incured during the Unnamable incident. Sure as hell not his fault the only one to blame already went up in a Nuke blast. So it was just Athena, Dr. Blackriver and me, but I decided it would still work so we started the OP. Well every thing was working fine we got to the Compound in short order. Only to notice two rather odd things first was the the Defense the people in the compound had set up to deal with Non- corporeal threats, A field that caused vertigo and discomfort, it could however be not so much ignored as handeled but I wouldn't want to stay there for long. Athena and Blackriver were going to stay outside of the area of effect of the field until they were needed. The other thing we noticed was a nexus point of Ley Lines 2 maybe 3 less than a mile from from the compound and it was Pulseing. Energy levels were up not to surpriseing considering the date but that was besides the point at the time. Well I entered the compound and got to Rhonda's room she was waiting for me. I talked with her for a moment made sure she understood what we were going to do and how. I put the Amulet around her neck and told her how to use it, she closed her eyes to focus and the Amulet glowed, then Her eyes poped open and she collapsed.

That field sounds like one of the things we were developing worked. Our fixer caleld it a scrambler. The idea was to bombard the area with a combination of frequencies that he claimed should mess with any creature entering the field not fully within our reality.

Have you guys tried a complete ElectroMagnetic Field generator? I know from some experience that a RV'er and usually Astral Projectors/Travelers are completely blocked by an EM Field Generator.
Exotic radio frequencies might also work. Unknown though if that is the case.

I'm not the guy who built it so I don't know the details, but it seems to be some kind of transmitter. There's a main station and a few relay stations.

That would explain a few things, like why the field was stronger in some places and weaker inothers, I also got the feeling the field could be turned up?

Most likely.

Yeah, they could crank up the power to it if they want . . . though that will only be done in emergencies because they have to shut down powewr to a lot of other things at the same time.
Power Generators

And if they can be turned up, they can be turned down . . . or off completely. Now all you need to worry about is about, half a dozen or more back up generators, I imagine?

All I know for sure is that it works, and considering what was next door I'm guessing it is nessicary keeps some nasties away.

I would rather not leave my family - no matter how dysfunctional they appear to be, without defences.
Incidently, I've been told on higher settings the scrambler will not only dissorient, but cause harm and force incorpreal or astral beings to materialize . . . but this is all theoreticall.

No more like poltergiests and the like I am thinking. That nexus was awful close.

Time for me to get back to this story. Oh little extra detail when I was moveing into the compound I noticed some of the guards had some weird head gear on it didn't look like normal Night Vision or the likes so as Ron suggested I steered clear. Well when I left off Rhonda had passed out this was not normal, and on top of that the Amulet was still glowing again something that is outside of normal experiance for me with this item? I tried to wake Rhonda but she was barely able to keep awake for more than a few seconds, when I checked her Aura it was as if she was totally spent as if almost all the energy drained from her, and there was something else something was missing from her Aura. At the time I had no idea what it could have been that was missing. I removed the Amulet and put it in a pocket, as Was trying to figure out my next move Athena Sent me a telepathic call telling me that something Weird was happening in the middle of the compound and that I should take a look. I sent her back a response of I would check it out thinking that whatever it was maybe I could use it as a Distraction and still get away with Rhonda in tow, but before I did anything ineeded to Know what was going on I put Rhonda on her bed and went to see. I was useing a little trick that makes people not notice me or they think I belong there, but even with that I wasn't going to push my luck I still tried to stay out of sight. My team and I were not the only ones who had noticed that something was going on, someone had set off some kind of alarm, sounded like an air raid warning. As I got to the site of the distrubance I was not alone but they were not paying much mind to me even if I hadn't been useing that trick of mine. Because there was a hole hanging in mid-air and reality seemed to be checking out around it there were colors and a warping effect going on infront of it and around it. Then He came walking through the portal it looked like Ron but I knew it wasn't, and then he spoke"Good people I bring you warning the Apostate has called down the forces of Darkness upon you." At first I had no clue who the Apostate was tho I had an Idea who the Forces of Darkness he was talking about were. Somebody said "Is that you James what is going on!" then another voice said "I am over here Paul!" and things started to go down hill from there.

Those goggles formed the basis for my own goggles which usually let me see things others can't as well as see in the dark.

Sasha's got strange eyeballs that see things that normal eyeballs do not. But apparently those things that he can see can pluck him out of a crowd just as quickly and easily.
In fact, that is how we found that demon familiar of the witch was following us around.
