UNPLUGGED
By now, just about everyone and their mother knows about Specials, Evos, whatever it is that you want to call individuals with supernatural powers. No longer are they the subject of bogus magazines and zany superstitions, they are not the myths that we thought them to be. Some see these people as heroes, beings who are here to help save the world and right the wrongs, while others see them as freaks or monsters. What can not be argued though is that there are a vast array of these individuals, with their powers as varied as their ethnicity and places of origin.
Since the shroud of mystery and existence over these people has been cast aside and the truth laid to bare, we have seen instances where those powers have disappeared. Some thought that God or Gods stripped we mortals of powers because we were not ready as a society for them or for retribution of foul use of such gifts. Much like Atlas, we were made to be powerful but then cursed with a foul punishment for reasons unknown. Those powers would return eventually, once revealed to be negated by a power Special of their own right, other times just a freak occurrence.
What if I was to tell you now that some members of the Special community have now seen their powers gone haywire. Not stripped away or negated as in times past but that they no longer work as they used to, that they had become dangerous to themselves? Further still, it seems to be specifically effecting a certain subgroup of Specials, those that are in some way connected to the fabric of time and space itself? More worrying than haywire powers is that people are disappearing without a trace and some Specials experiencing debilitating migraines.
What new threat lingers just beyond the horizon, is nature once more playing us for fools or is there sinister forces at work? Is it perhaps just a huge amount of consequences and that the Special community is just paranoid in the aftermath of the Registration era? I hope it is the latter but I fear that there is something dangerous lurking just beyond and that this is more than just a Special concern. Perhaps I am wrong, lord I would love to be wrong, but experience has told me that human intuition is a powerful tool. I for one will be wary of this newest power failure and I urge all Specials and Civilains to be vigilant and supportive of those who do show such symptoms.
