T-Bolt is correct. BSI is the government agency tasked with dealing with everything anything dealing with meta/super humans. I'm also going to be posting a bit of info on a BSI offshoot called SIGIL that deals with supernatural threats.

Yeah.  Asking for some advice Dom... I got stuff I want to write for Thunderbolt's Year one entries..but my problem is.. it all comes out REALLY long!  I like details.. and the short clipped entries that Ranger makes I envy.  I got too much to say.  Any advice?  I'm sure no one here wants to see a novella of my bad writing!

Thanks Dom! I'll try that!

Sweet! Cutie!  Aim High Skyhawk!

I'm just wondering if any of you guys are using this stuff?

I feel the same Ranger. I don't want to do something that mucks up what Dom has going on. I tend to stick to more of his personal life for that reason.

I am enjoying the interplay as well.

Guys, don't feel like you have to wait on me. This stuff is here for your enjoyment. If you want to use this info feel free. I'll just chalk it up to an "alternate timeline" if it's something that I don't want to mine for future use.

Also, feel free to ask questions. Some of this stuff is in response to specific requests, or questions people have asked me about.

While it might be my sandbox, you have my permission to play in it.

I think I can come up with a fun way to restart/reboot his powers.

Please do.

I've also heard some reports of a bow welding vigilante operating in a neighborhood very familiar to a armor wearing hero several of you may know. He's already taken out close to half a dozen of the neighborhood's wise guys in the past couple of months. MCU is aware of the issue, but has more pressing matters to deal with, so it's been pushed to the back burner until they can free up some personnel. The local "businessmen", on the other hand are nervous, and have reportedly brought in some "help" to deal with what's becoming a serious problem.

I'm game as I've said... I just hope I get to play Thunderbolt again...

Absolutely ... Of course with the fiction we've written, we'll have to re-power our intrepid Captain if he is to be of use to the team again.

Let's collaborate shall we

Sarah Dunham stays though.


Commander Dunham's daughter and Jason's current girlfriend ... Yeah she's still hot

She sure is pretty.. no denying that!  Looks like she needs to be kissed regularly!

I'll work everything out and post what's what over the next few weeks. until then, you guys should talk amongst yourselves, get everyone up to speed, and figure out any group dynamics you want to work out. Also, re-read over the various "news articles" and tid bits I've posted, as there's actually quite a good bit of clues tossed in for those of you paying attention.

Ok.. no answers thus far... kinda says to me we ARE skipping that engagement with the Robot/Aliens.  Pity, Shawn would have liked to get a chance to do some analysis of their tech and gear.  Ah well.

So... discussions.

Thunderbolt will join the Protectors... and try to be a readily available team member.  If pushed he will reveal his Identity to Power Chord... with the understanding not to share that with anyone else.  TB has family to protect and he is not sure how trustworthy the BSI is, nor if they have any agents on the take with the local Lionetti Mafia.

Thunderbolt has the Team Communicator that Machinist handed him so he will use that to keep in touch with the Protectors.  But he would suggest to the Machnist that the communicators be upgraded to be able to perform the same functions as modern smart-phones... take pictures, GPS, text messages, record video and sound...all for the purpose of giving the team the ability to collect and record vital evidence for the authorities to have proper prosecution material for the criminals the Protectors will apprehend.

As a sign of 'good-faith' with BSI and the MCU 'major crimes unit'... Thunderbolt will get that .05cal Desert Eagle he carries registered to his Thunderbolt identity... not his real ID, so if it's ballistics show up in any crime.. they can be traced back to him.  The gun itself has never been used in a crime and is not registered because it was a custom handmade manufacture {not by Thunderbolt}.  He took it from a Yakuza Gang Boss who was so proud that it was untraceable... and had wanted to kill Thunderbolt with it as the gun's first 'kill'! TB just took it from him and kept it as one of his own weapon options.  To note Thunderbolt could just keep carrying the gun without saying anything.. but it kinda bother's his conscience.. his dad was a cop and he knows gun registration laws are there for a REASON so wants to follow the laws as much as possible... but he also knows.. there are those in the law who would use his Real ID against him and those he cares about he can't take that risk.  But he is willing to meet this far half ways so an unregistered gun is out there..even if in the hands of a hero/vigilante.

For his own gear... Thunderbolt is going to modify his 2 metal Kyogetsu-Shoge.  He feels that their extreme length could be a problem if things get dicy ...so he is going to build a spring loaded spool assembly for both of them.. so that their normal length is about 6'ft.. with each spool at the center about 3'ft form the ends. The spools can reel out of retract their individual full lengths of 80'ft.  He will also refine their cables so they are a bit more compact but retain their 1,000lb capacity.  This is for ease of use should he not have access to his magnetic control powers for some reason.. a 80'ft long Kyogetsu-Shoge is kinda uselessly awkward to a martial artist like him.  I have already posted some where that Thunderbolt would like to refine his armor to provide a bit more protection and he's working on his particle accelerator gun.

Thunderbolt would like to get a chance to work with Diesel on his steam powered armor... and would like to suggest another function for his armor.. Steam powered Jump Jets!  So the big suit could get around a little more quickly.  Kinda like the jump-jets on the Starship Trooper powered armor.. he can 'on-the-bounce' jump large distances though not really sustained flight.  He will also work with Diesel to perfect their magnetic 'fastball special with a hammer on top'... maneuver so Diesel and thunderbolt have some practice with Thunderbolt picking up the metal suit with magnetism and hurling it with Diesel swinging his hammer at the target at the end!  For the team Thunderbolt would like to give everyone a simple metal mesh shoulder harness... almost like a shoulder holster-rig, that when needed would allow Thunderbolt to lift and carry team members either to a fight or out of harms way without him having to use his kyogetsu to wrap them for carrying purposes.  They would not need to wear it all the time... but having it with them would be convenient should the non-fliers need to be able to keep up or carried to battle.  As for team tactics... Thunderbolt likes to fly above a battle and apply his magnetic control as needed to hinder and confound the enemy attacking with metal objects in the surrounding area or his own array of metal weapons... in support of team efforts.  Yes, he can fire lightning bolts but he rarely does it considering how lethal those attacks can be.  He likes to use only measured force to subdue foes.  So he is more of a controller supporting the efforts of others though he can take direct hand in battle he likes to keep his options open.  Considering as "I" the player have seen the Protectors work in the past Power Chord usually plays that role.. so Thunderbolt would practice with Power Chord a set series of signals to trade off both of them doing the same between support, offense and defensive actions to coordinate team efforts.  Thunderbolt is quite fine with bowing to Power Chord's overall team leadership.

Other than that ...Thunderbolt continues putting the pressure on the Lionetti family hitting their bank accounts messing with their power utilities... using his machine control to ruin their financial records and assets of all operations that continue to push this 'Boost' drug!  He meant it when he told 'Anvil' he was going to war on the Lionetti family and that he would hurt them in their pocket... by destroying or taking their wealth until they STOPPED pushing 'Boost'!  He will add to this stealing vital data in bank accounts and incriminating evidence that he 'anonymously' donates to BSI and the MCU.
