Notes: Mechanima will be watching responses, but will not be responding to every message. He may chime in on occasion. This is meant to be more of a collaboration post for player characters to figure out what they would like to do in order to resolve this! While posted to Ourpowers, links and screenshots to this post will be spread across social media through various sources. It's not often Mechanima makes an announcement these days, especially one like this.

Greetings.

As I'm sure most residents of Central City have realized, we're currently handling an illness that is passing from individual to individual. This isn't something the Society would dip their fingers into during normal circumstances, but we're working under the assumption this may or may not have been unintentionally caused by one of ours.

[ The... parasites, for lack of better word, do not fall under the Society's umbrella. But given that they are certainly not quite human are spreading through the city like wildfire, Mechanima has opted to listen to Dylan Brock's suggestion and is aiming to quell the spread before it gets out of control. No need for this to put them all under an uncomfortable light. ]

We've set up quarantine zones through Central City: Centennial High School's old facility towards the North, an old lair to the West, Broadmoor Hospital to the East, and the second floor of the Society of Villainous Reformation's building for all others. We have our own research teams working to discover a cure, and are asking for assistance from any metahumans capable of discerning biological differences between beings, as well as biologists who can lend a hand. You will be compensated for your assistance.

Do not enter Central City. If you are within Central City, do not fight quarantine efforts. Do not leave the city if you are already within it. We have associates posted at every road, airport, and train station to prevent movement. Teleporters being tracked. We are watching for metahumans with quicktravel abilities.

Consider this a hostile takeover of Central City by yours truly.

Let us know what we can do to help.

[Okay so the city going on total lockdown with no one in or out seems. bad. Hm!

But Leo is here to ask the important questions.]

hey does this mean central kids are excused from class? because if I miss anymore theyre def putting me in summer school

How hostile is hostile

I see you told Atomight to butt out, so I'm not sure how welcome I'd be? But I am a biologist, among other things, and I literally grew up in a lab.

If you're okay with someone from the Alliance showing up, I'd like to help.

Why reject help when clearly help is needed? [ since he told Atomight they don't want their help ]

[ Lotta mixed feelings about being responsible for the hostile takeover of the city. Except... is he? He's just trying to protect some fellow Starfallen who can't protect themselves, and he took the most reasonable route to do it.

He thinks, anyway. ]

If you're in Central City and start experiencing memory loss or your powers are suddenly on the fritz, you might also be infected.

[ PRIVATE to Mechanima ]

Thank you for doing this.

Are you asking for credentials and registration, or will the team take anyone with experience with biochemical and genetic analysis? Or is there a higher call for healers?

Now this is a surprise. Thought the Alliance would get all fussy about this by now

Need my crew to help out with guard duty?

Wow, this almost reminds me of home. How nostalgic.

Are we all supposed to report for jobs for this bullshit or can some of us focus on catsitting?

[He's so. Lazy.]
