This is not buckling to the demands and threats of anti-Metahuman terrorists. This is a decision the entire administrative staff made to protect members of the site after it became blatantly obvious that the hack lead to many members being harassed, brutally attacked, or even killed. We agreed that it'd be safe if we locked the thread before any more attacks happen. However, we are not deleting any discussions, and the threads before the board-wide lock are still available for viewing. Someday we'll open the site again, when the climate calms itself down.

So, apparently there was a gigantic shitstorm in Baybridge. Starting with the so called "Black Hound" and ending with a whole section of the city needing repairs. RAVEN & DOVE are being really hush about it. Can we get some discussion about this? There's so much that we don't know. And let's keep the conspiracy theories to a minimum, guys. I want facts, not your crazy theories.. [hr] ➤ Andro Posted on: November 3rd, 2022. This video is a start:[/code] [hider=Youtube Video: Founding Family Reveals Themselves to the World - Uploaded by DarrenCross667][code] All over Baybridge, televisions and computer screens were intruded upon by the Family's finest hackers. They all displayed the image of a very dark room, barely illuminated, and showing three silhouettes that belonged to the Blessed Three. Few would realize this, because they are obscured in shadow, but those familiar would recognize Blake, the defacto leader of the Blessed Three in the center, sitting in a chair with his leg crossed over the other, Ezekiel standing to his right, and Julia standing to his left. Shrouded in darkness, their eyes glowed an eerie white color. Everyone looked in confusion as to who, or what, they were, and why they were appearing on everything connected to the internet. "Hello, denizens of Baybridge." Blake said, his voice was booming, and carried authority like a leader. "We have commandeered your devices to make an announcement - not just to Baybridge! But, to the world!" Blake smiled from behind the shadows, few could make out his pearly whites. "We are the Founding Family, an organization of science that has been operating in this very city and beyond for [i]decades[/i] now. You have most likely been hearing rumors about us, but we are here to confirm that the rumors are indeed true, there [i]is[/i] an organization ruling things from the shadows. Don't worry, we [i]are[/i] benevolent... until the foolish tests our patience. You have heard [i]wonders[/i] about our loyal subordinate, the Black Hound?" The camera turned towards the Black Hound, who was standing tall and proud against the wall, eyes flashing red. The camera recentered on the Blessed Three. "Personally, I'm not fond of violence - but, it's the only language you understand. Haha! But, more about the Family itself, because you all are most likely confused," Blake loudly cleared his throat, "Every human being alive is crafted through genes. Who their ancestors mixed with. Contrary to popular belief, not [i]everyone[/i] is born equal. Many are born better than others - all because of genetics. The Family believes this genetic excellence leads to great things. Better scientists, better athletes... and just better people in general to save you the redundancies. But, don't mistake us for being a bunch of Hitler master-race wannabes... the fallacy in his system was that he focused far too much on superficial looks, and didn't look deep enough. An African-American man is as likely to have perfect genes as his so-called 'Master-race.'" He finger-quoted. "Now that you know the Family, now it's time to learn what we want from you," Blake said, "Not everyone can be perfect like us - if they were, then we wouldn't be all that perfect, would we? So, we service those with imperfect genes. For years now, we have been subtly leaking our medical and technological advancements to the world - some of which you may be enjoying as we speak! We have a grand goal that will improve the lives of [i]everyone![/i] But, only if you cooperate with us. That's it. All we want is the world's cooperation..." Blake trailed off, laughing slightly. "...But, yet your so-called champions, RAVEN and DOVE, insist on doing the opposite for whatever reason - I don't know why. You should all know that being lead by the blind does no one good. So, we once again have to do the [i]opposite[/i] of what the Family is made for, and will have to intimidate you into compliance." His tone became much more sinister. "What we want is Dr. Cross, Ignatius, and the Mannequin - just those three - and for RAVEN to, uh, let us work in peace. But, like I said, you're forcing our hand here... and I'd hate to see this city [i]bleed[/i]." Blake narrowed his eyes. "So, we're giving RAVEN five days to release the trio before everyone suffers on their behalf - and believe me, we have many ways to make [i]very[/i] bad things happen. If you want to try us, then go ahead, I'll tell you that it won't end well for you, your family, your friends, and all of your descendants." Blake threatened with a smile, he got up off the chair, and walked over to the side with his hands behind his back. "And, to RAVEN, I'd like to let you know that we have one of your champions of truth and justice." A light flickered on behind Blake, and in the middle of the spot-light was Cindy Keagan. Strapped to a chair, and wearing nothing but a T-shirt and underwear - having been stripped of it by the Secretaries earlier. She had the power-suppressant collar wrapped tightly around her neck, and it was clear that she was beaten up a little bit going off the blood dripping out of her mouth, and the large bruises on her face. She was panting heavily as she looked into the camera. "...Look, whateva' they want, don't give it to them!" Cindy loudly shouted. "So valiant even though she is at our mercy," Blake said before he swung out full force with his elbow and clocked Cindy square in the jaw. "I think that concludes our announcement... Oh, yeah, almost forgot... How [i]could I[/i] forgot? You have five days, RAVEN." Blake raised his fingers as if he was about to snap. "...Just so you know we are being serious." Then Blake snapped his fingers, and the transmission cut off. [/code][/hider] [code]The people responsible for everything in Baybridge are the Founding Family. A cult of lunatics. I saw this video with my own two eyes while watching Spongebob with my kids. After that, they knocked out the power for weeks... and I'll never forget them. [hr] ➤ Judochick Posted on: November 3rd, 2022. I'm sorry, but what kind of rock have you been living under @Dead_Editor? This was all over the news! [hr] ➤ Dead_Editor Posted on: November 3rd, 2022. Sorry, but I was visiting my family in Australia, and when I get back, the whole city's in flames. I had to jump through hoops just to get back into the country! I just want to figure out what the hell happened, because this is way bigger than Prague. [hr] ➤ AegisCommander Posted on: November 3rd, 2022. @Andro: They're more than just being a cult of lunatics. As it turns out; they have hands in almost everything! Politics, military, corporations, science, everything. They're like a world controlling conspiracy! [hr] ➤ Judochick Posted on: November 3rd, 2022. @Deadeditor: That's understandable, I'm sorry. But, before you jump the gun on @AegisCommander; he's right. It's turning out that this Founding Family controlled almost everything, and I'm not exaggerating. If you want proof, just google them. [hr] ➤ Iron_Cross Posted on: November 3rd, 2022. Most disturbingly of all, this Family had an army of slaves locked up in their headquarters. Men and women taken from all over the world, put to work in their tower. It's so messy that even the UN had to get involved to help sorts things out. [Link to Article] [hr] ➤ Exiled Posted on: November 3rd, 2022. A friend of mine was one of those people... She went missing like five years ago, and RAVEN found her there. In a far better state than she was when she went missing, yeah, but she had no idea of what even happened. In fact, she had no idea that five years even passed. So, maybe the Family was employing some kind of Cerebral ability. [hr] ➤ Dead_Editor Posted on: November 3rd, 2022. @Exiled: We're veering into conspiracy theory territory here, keep it to yourself.

[/code][/quote] [b][code]Oakdell Harbor, White Coast_[/code][/b][hr][hr] Wendy played around on her phone, while lying down on the sofa of the RV. Mostly to distract herself from the welling grief that was associated with this city. She sighed as she deleted her account from one of her favorite forums! But, that place wasn't what it used to be, and it was for the best that Wendy removed her mark from there. Then again, the world wasn't what it used to be. "Yo, Wen," Jessica's voice snapped her out of her reverie. Her eyes were diverted away from her phone, to the red-haired woman (who was approaching her thirties, in fact). She was muscular, and just had a freckled face that inspired Wendy. She was the one driving the RV they were staying in, but kept her eyes on the road. "Sure you're ready to go back? You can stay with me and my pops in Texas if you need more time." Wendy looked over to the research notes on the table across from herself. "I'm sure." She said. "There's something I have to get to the bottom of in Baybridge." "That missing scientist?" Jessica asked. Wendy looked over to the research notes on the table across from herself, with "SEAN ROSIER'S NOTES" on the cover of the book. "Yes, it all leads back to Baybridge," Wendy said. "I'm sorry, but I want to get to the bottom of it." "Nah, it's cool!" Jessica said with a smile. "I should be the one apologizing... Wish I could help you, but me and Kai still got a lot more adventure ahead of us!" "I understand... in fact, I shouldn't let my own ambitions hold you up from following yours," Wendy cheekily half smiled. "But.... what about Rowan?" Jessica asked in a hushed tone. "What does he think?" "What-what... someone want me?" A voice groggily called out from the back of the RV. "Rowan, my maaaan," Jessica said. "What I was [i]asking[/i] was if you were gonna stick with us, or go with Wendy?" "Wait-" There came a heavy thud, followed by a brief grunt, before the sole male occupant of the RV emerged from the compartment at the back, a shirt having been hastily pulled on other his head during their journey. "Wen', so you're really going? I mean, I know you talked about it, but what with all that shit..." He trailed off for a moment as he made his way towards the front, placing his palms against the walls of the interior to steady himself, eventually plopping himself down in the sofa adjacent to Wendy's position. "You're serious about this, then?" He asked, idly rubbing at the mess of coarse hair along his jaw. "Yeah... I want to look for something," Wendy said. "And, Kumiko says that she knows people that will help me find it." "Yeah?" Rowan raised an eyebrow at that one, "Didn't know you'd been talking lately." "We talk all the time," Wendy said with a smile, as she stood up. She grabbed the research papers, and walked over to Rowan. "But, do you remember our talk about that scientist? Sean Rosier?" "Sean Rosier... Sean Rosier... just remind me, again." She held up the research notes for Rowan to see. "This? Remember? I got this from the Family's base... he's a brilliant scientist that was on the verge of discovering something [i]amazing[/i]...." Wendy trailed off, before she said. "Dimensional travel." She shook her head. "But, then he disappeared, and the last of trace of him ends in Baybridge." "Yeah, yeah - got you now," Rowan finally clicked, his groggy demeanour fading away. "And you want to find out what happened with this guy, right?" "Yes, and possibly continue his work." Wendy said, as she turned to her blond-haired friend. "You don't have to come along with me... I can do this with Kumiko helping me." "I'd rather go with you," Rowan said, before turning his gaze towards Jess and Kai, "No offence to you guys, or anything. It's been great here, the best couple years I've had, y'know? But if Wendy wants to figure this out, I'm in on it too." Jessica smiled. "I hear ya' loud and clear, and I'd like to say it's been a real pleasure having the two of you on board." Wendy was honestly flattered when Rowan said that... and a little flustered. Her face went red, she smiled. "And I wouldn't have anyone else by my side." She got a similar response from him as he shuffled into thr back of the RV yet again, undoubtedly to collect the few belongings he had with him and pack them into his bag. They had long crossed the Bravewater Bridg, and Jessica merely followed the GPS to the location that Wendy had given her. She raised an eyebrow as they approached a mansion on the beach front. "You have arrived." The GPS said, and Jessica came to a stop in front the building. She looked behind herself. "Well... looks like this is goodbye... damn..." Jessica somberly said, "I thought I was ready for this, but it's so hard to say goodbye, ain't it?" She said. Having emerged yet again with his possessions, Rowan was the first to step towards two of the three people who he'd come to know as not just friends, but [i]family[/i]. Slugging an arm each around Jess and Kai's shoulders, the once scrawny kid pulled them into a fraternal embrace, before whispering something to them with a wry grin. "You better not give us a fake address, I don't think Wen' would appreciate knocking on the [i]wrong[/i] Texan's door." "Who do you think I am?" Jess said with a smile. "A bad driver? I get you to yer' destination!" Wendy smiled at the scene. "Well, I hate to hold ya' up, me and Kai have a lot more journey ahead of us," Jess said, as she tipped her hat. "... And so do we." The door on the side opened, and Wendy loudly gulped as she mustered the courage to step off. Only because she didn't want this to ever end. After everyone said their goodbyes, both Wendy and Rowan got off the RV that was a great part of their lives, and it slowly drove away. Wendy could just see the sorrow in Jess' eyes, but she was going to keep in touch with them. And that was a promise. For now, the two young adults looked up at the mansion. Kumiko told them to come here if they needed help, and Wendy damn well was going to get it. But, the first obstacle was the large gates before them. She wondered if could just have Rowan open it, when the gates unlocked themselves and were pulled open. She was confused, until she saw a woman walk up. A tall, Asian woman, wearing jeans, and a dark-red blouse. Age was certainly setting into the older woman, as even Wendy could spot the wrinkles. "... Wen!" Kumiko shouted as she ran over, and embraced her daughter. "It's been a helluva long time since I seen ya'... well, in person, but you know!" "Same!" Wendy said. "And you Rowan," Kumiko said as she let go of Wendy, "You're a handsome young man, now." She smiled. "Uh... thanks.." Rowan said, caught off guard by the remark. "Well, what are the two of ya' waitin' for?" Kumiko said as she practically yanked the two of them towards the entrance. "Come on in!" "Wai-" Before Wendy knew it, they were through the front doors, and Kumiko whipped around to kick both of them shut. She let out a sigh. "Phew..." Kumiko trailed off as she leaned up against the door. "Sorry about that, kids." She chuckled for a moment. "We have a [i]looooot[/i] of enemies that are probably keeping an eye on all our movements, so it was for the best that we get inside, and in cover, fast as possible." "I understand." Wendy said, giving Kumiko a quick nod. "So, uh..." Kumiko pointed at Rowan, "Did you brief him on our little deal? Because if not, that was a real dick move, Wen. [i]Real[/i] dick move." That earned her a strange look from her fellow traveler, "What am I missing?" "Diiiiiiiiick move." Kumiko almost shouted. "Well, Rowan..." Wendy said, "Remember when I said 'I knew people who could help us'?" He raised an eyebrow at that, "Oh, right - you said your mom could help?" "Well, not quite..." Wendy said, "My mom works for this organization that helped bring down the Founding Family." "... The Philosophers," Kumiko said. "They call themselves a benevolent group of scientists..." She narrowed her eyes at Rowan for a moment. "... Take that with a grain of salt." "And, they're going to help us piece together the puzzle that is Sean Rosier," Wendy explained. "... Well, hate to get your hopes up..." Kumiko sighed. "But, they're kind of busy... and - surprise - I'm the only field agent willing to help!" Wendy sighed. "... That's fine." "Well, provided that you find it, I'm sure [i]someone[/i] in here will gladly help you make use of it." "It's not like we haven't done some breaking-in before..." Rowan said to Wendy with a hushed tone. Wendy snickered a bit, as she said, "Yeeeeeah." "But, I mean, this is the first time I seen the two of ya' in years," Kumiko hopped off the wall, almost surprised they were so formal. "Relaaaaax, let's have a little bit of fun before we go off on some adventure. Liiiiiike...." She remembered something. "There's a DOVE rally today... probably gonna end up being lame, but they're at least offering free food." "I don't know..." Wendy trailed off, as she looked at Rowan. Given that the two of them were runaways in the eyes of DOVE, Wendy wasn't in a rush to change that. "What do you think, Rowan?" Wendy asked. "Uh, I dunno... you really think they'll know it's us?" Rowan shrugged, shifting his gaze towards Kumiko for a second, "It's been three years, Wen' - we keep our heads down, we could be good. Worst case, we have to run - can't be too hard, right?" "I guess..." Wendy said, still unsure. "Alright, we're going to go." "Yaaaaaay!" Kumiko said, "We'll discuss this boring Philosopher stuff later." She gestured down the hall. "We'll take my car, let's go!" Kumiko said.
