Okay, I did a quick post just to course-correct the Luke thing. I didn't want to invalidate Danny's freak out and Caty's response, so I changed what I had in mind slightly to have Luke thrash on the ground a bit before he recovers. That way Danny's response still makes sense. I'll do a large post once Sincerely has done hers. Also, I was planning to have David go into detail about what the Terrigen Crystals were and their nature, but I realize we're in a position where Danny and Caty might need to explain it first. Since they should be just as knowledgeable about the topic as well, I'll just explain them here so that Crim and Kindred can use that in their posts to explain it to the other characters if need be. Project Terrigenesis arose from attempts to revive Project Rebirth from the 1940s. It is only one of several such programs being worked on by various companies with government funding. One way to translate that into in-story dialogue would be: [color=fff79a]"You remember the Super Soldier projects from the 1940s that everyone thought was just a hoax? Well, they were real and this mist is the culmination of decades of research and development. It has a high probability to spark genetic mutation, but the vast majority of such mutations are unstable and lead to total destruction of DNA. That's why it was never approved for human testing -- we just found out tonight that our mentor at Grayburn Labs went rogue and slipped a few crystallized chunks of the formula into the fireworks on that barge. The crystals reacted to the heat of the explosion, exhaling that blue mist, which carried the mutagenic properties of the formula into the crowd. Sorry if that's a lot to take in."[/color] I picture Danny or Caty saying that portion in the yellow text, so it will probably sound a bit long winded since they are science geeks, lol. Feel free to reword it when translating it into Danny's or Caty's voice. Though they both may need to explain it to the characters near them.
