The Blackstone Fortress (Non-40k version)
Back in Tolkeen, no sign of the Coalition could be found. It was hoped that the neo-fascists had pulled back to one of their other bases further away, and would not return for at least a few days. As the team approached the location they were given for Thomas’s work-shop, they saw a massive sprawling 2 storey fortress constructed of black rock of some sort. At the South eastern corner of the fort was Thomas Carmichael’s re-purposed warehouse; blackened and broken. Jack Chirax took point with Felix beside him, but on inspection they found nothing: no bodies, no devices…nothing. When Uno was asked to come forward and verify that this was indeed Thomas’s facility, the gynoid nodded and replied that the place had been “burned out” not just literally. She had detected no PPE signature at all. At this time Zod was near to the main-gate of the black fortress, and as he got within 30ft. of the gates, a ghostly set of cogs and gears and flanges seemed to explode outwards from the doors surfaces. A large amount of time was spent trying to figure out what this was (the ghost images actually did have some physical solidity); with Zod finally figuring out that it was a puzzle lock, albeit a rather exotic one.
An hour passed in the storm-wracked ruins as the alien insectoid worked upon the lock mechanism, with the rest of the team (including Darius & James, who had finally regrouped with the rest, leaving Tao-Shi Moon to recover back at the new camp site) standing watch nervously. Odd wolf-like howls could be heard nearby, with many of Phoenix Force believing them to come from WITHIN the fort. As nerves frayed, Zod finally solved the lock and the two massive doors of magicked oak & iron swung open. Inside was revealed a cavernous keep, with pieces of rubble strewn about and no interior lights whatsoever (off for a TW & mystic city like Tolkeen), though the structure of the fort itself seemed to be intact. As the group went in, Markus Falkon’s sensors went wild and he had to step back outside until they could clear. At that moment the ambush occurred. From the sky a gargoyle-like creature made of black iron-like material with a vultures head and twin scimitars of the same substance struck out at Uno-Rez (who was tail) and one from within the Fort flew down from one of the upper galleries attacking Jack Chirax. The skirmish, though short, proved brutal and costly in ammunition. It seemed only psionic or magical weapons could do lasting harm to the creatures, while conventional energy and projectile weapons did only middling damage unless copious amounts of ammunition was expended. Further into the Fort the second wave of attacks was triggered just as the gargoyle creatures were dispatched. James & jack were floored when they saw Free-Quebec soldiers begin to snipe at them, along with a Glitterboy (which also seemed to be suffering from the same sensor blindness that Markus’ suit had). When the odds seemed to be favouring Phoenix Force, the second ambushers refused to surrender (stating that they’d rather die than suffer at the hands of “Her” and The Prince), but instead of fighting to the last, they all brought forth small round objects, which they then seemed to “fall” into. The objects were pocket mirrors.
Leena Shidow “Smelled” a potent PPE burst coming from one of the south-side rooms and, yet again encountering a mystic puzzle-lock, Zod & Leena both quickly solved it. Beyond the door lay a large chapel-like room with a stone alter fairly crackling with mystic energy. To the north, through a half covered tunnel, Uno discovered a room below the 5th tower of the fort. Inside was a large iron safe tucked away towards the back of the room.
Outside, the storm still raged.

That was a GREAT fight, those of you who read this, some hair raising stuff is to come!!DhAkael wrote:“It’s a dead man’s party; who could ask for more?”
The situation became even more nerve wracking when Enrique passed out from encountering something ancient and aggressive whilst “becoming one with the supernatural”. Melody looked out the front of the Naruni Hover Explorer’s front windshield and saw what had K/O’d Enrique; two glowing red eyes nearly 8ft. above the ground staring through the snow squall. Chris, showing more testosterone than brains, leapt out of the N.H.E. thinking his mini-missile launcher would deal with the “threat” instead he was bowled over and missed the target completely as he was pogo’d on by the Jersey Devil.
10 minutes later and about 30 miles distant, they rendezvoused with Fionna Faraday driving her hover APC; an Eldar wave Serpent. The new sub-contractors spent a few hours getting to know Rika’s X/O and then the Captain declared a rest break. Fionna decided better part of valour and went back to her own vehicle to sleep; temptations were too strong for the burster as she had just been dumped and was emotionally compromised (though her libido was arguing this fact). It would have been a peaceful evening but yet again Chris Altobeli of the Iron Mountain Defense Force didn’t QUITE think things through and decided to test out his two .45’s that had just been re-rigged to fire full auto. Emptying not one but 2 full drum magazines of 45 rounds apiece, the reports echoed across the snowy forests… then the sensation of something large, bipedal and heavy began to create impact tremors. Leaping back into the N.H.E. Mr. Altobeli screamed;
“Company’s coming!!!”
“Meanwhile, at the Bat-Cave…” (Off-camera event)
For the past few days Rika & Markus’s “home away from home”, hAvEn, had been used by two couples. Uno-Rez & James and Felix & Leena. The Gynoid and meta-human still worked on the Morphii’n archive, searching for as much data as they could for any insight to the Aggendi, while Leena (With Felix in tow) struggled to bring the giant mecha Zeiru up at least half functionality.
It was on the morning of the 4th of November that Leena had a brainstorm. As Felix was out in hAvEn’s underground garden area catching moths and Ms. Shidow lay down on a beach towel with various bits & pieces of other Morphii tech in front of her, she finally was able to mentally piece together why the black “learning mask” would not function for any of the rest of the team. It required specialized nano-tech implants; the same form of implant she had found was required to fully operate Zeiru to full potential. Hurriedly going through the pile of technology in front of her she latched onto a solid block of black crystal about the size of a large hard-bound book (and weighing nearly 40lbs.). Applying a small amount of telemechanic manipulation the device came alive with holograms above its surface. She was RIGHT! The block wasn’t just a data-crystal of unusual size and density; it was also a solid block of nano-tech machinery. It was what Captain Rika had told the young NuMan psi-tech about from her travels across the dimensions; the block was a Standard Template Construct; a machine that could teach anyone who found it, regardless of tech level, how to create more of what the template could build. In this case, Morphii nano-tech.
Felix dropped his collection jars (thus freeing the moths he had collected to live another day) in alarm as he heard Leena’s howls of triumph. He was almost too slow to prevent himself from being knocked over by the elated NuMan.
The road to healing Zeiru had begun.
November 6 & 7th PA 109; “Gonna be one of THOSE missions…”
The company that arrived was a 65ft. walker-styled mech with stylized wolf “head” cockpit, massive weapon arms and covered in the 8 armed symbol of Chaos. The battle was fierce and at points it seemed as if the “Warhound” (as Rika managed to identify it as) would be victorious. Fortunately a fatal flaw in the machines shielding was exploited by the members of Phoenix Force able to fly in close and pass through the energy barrier to attack the hull directly, as well as the phase-gun mounted on the team’s Naruni Hover Explorer’s turret. At the last moments of the battle, Darius Lupus-Canis brought the firepower of his Centurion gunship the Cerberus to bear on the crippled mech. When defeated, the plasma reactors inside the warhound detonated causing a 150ft. wide crater of molten earth & slag to be blasted into the country side. Silence fell.
After a few introductions were made by Rika (who did NOT seem pleased with Sgt. Altobeli; refusing to speak to him) the NuMan captain went into the cockpit of the NHE and closed the door to the cab. Then the Quatoria and Iron Mountain defender began to grill the entities in residence inside Melody Turner. When things seemed to begin to get ugly (Darius & Chris both feeling that the host, Melody, was being used as a puppet and not as “partner” by the council of spirits), Fionna Faraday stepped in and pulled rank on the entire discussion; promising that there WOULD be a reckoning, but only after the present mission was finished. As Darius later mentioned; Madhaven, from what he had read about, was not a place to bring in mental & emotional baggage.
The morning of the 6th dawned grey and windy, the various persons having not had much sleep due to branches knocking on the side of the HV’s hull and in Enrique’s’ case, bad feelings coming from the dead city of Manhattan. It was decided that Fionna would stay behind to guard the bridge across to the Island (technically now an Isthmus, but still with only a narrow strip of rubble & steel connecting it to the mainland) while the rest would go in using Darius’ gunship and the NHE. Darius soon realized that flying inside the Madhaven was, well, mad. Instruments began to give false images and compasses began to spin clockwise & counter clockwise at random. On foot, it seemed, was the only way to go for the moment.
In the section they were investigating, many long dead corpses were found inside half intact buildings (held together by sheer weight, mosses & plant roots) while the sensation of being watched beat down on Enrique’s mystic senses. At one point he felt a tug on his armoured long coat and saw what looked like an Asian/Hispanic man, dressed in a black body glove run into a building behind him. The problem with this was the man had run into a building with no visible entry point. The group quickly dispersed around Enrique’s find, Darius & Melody taking to the roof while Sgt. Altobeli set up overwatch nearby. Enrique found a narrow hole at the base of the building and volunteered to go in to talk to whoever had gotten his attention (and hopefully inform them they were NOT hostile) while Rika would come in behind to provide back-up close support… just in case. Inside they found their man; slumped over a translucent green shipping ‘pod’. After a few hesitant overtures by the young mystic failed to gain any response, Rika went over carefully and did a quick field diagnosis. She turned and shook her head and reported that what Enrique had seen must have been a residual spirit; the man before them, though perfectly preserved from decay or mummification, was dead of a broken neck for quite some time. Right at that moment, Enrique saw the man right beside him: it too shook its head sadly and pointed to the pod then vanished in an eye blink.
Right when Chris was charged by two walking rubble heaps.
The first day in Madhaven proper…
It was going to be one of THOSE missions.
Post Battle and a message from the dead.
The skirmish with the rubble golems (or something else), went by quickly with minimal damage to Sgt. Altobeli. Darius was quickly sent along with the human merc to go fetch the Cerberus to air-lift the pod (which had opened revealing a red armour suit with green crystal visor looking like it had been made of giant crab shell), Enrique, and the preserved body of strange male.
Back outside of Madhaven Rika quickly put the mystic and his finds into quarantine but found no pathogens or toxins on him, the corpse or the artifacts. While examining the pod, a small hemispherical protrusion became illuminated from within and a hologram of the dead man floated in front of the group. It began to speak in mildly accented anglic.
“If you are seeing this, it means my death was not in vain. I am Life-String Weaver Kahuna Pakku-Ao-Kikta-Mu from Lemuria. My companions and I were tasked with exploring and investigating the East-lands of your continent, what you call North America. We came to this cursed island to try and succor those who died in ages past along with those still living and not tainted by the madness or harmful spirits that infest it.
For many months we were successful; guiding those lost and desperate to the garden of the white roses. On occasion my apprentice and I would use our skills shaping the life-strands to grow armour and arms so that those of strong enough conviction could protect their own on their travels through the Madhaven. What you found with me is one such armour which my people and learned men of the land created from lost experiments unearthed in the center of the Madhaven’s fallen city. In the common language it is called “Skin”; a living suit of weaponized armour close in nature to the un-living metal suits used by your warrior caste.
My demise happened while we had completed moving a final group of refugees from the land known as Tolkeen, which has significance to you if the seer among my own team was correct. Regardless, after seeing those displaced into the hands of my people to be taken to safety in Lemuria, I and my companions were attacked by reavers wearing the symbol of the circle of 8 arrows and the bladed hand. During the battle I was cut off from the rest and sought to flee and don this ‘Skin’. Sadly it seems Takka-Mo-Mu was correct in one part of her vision; I would be sent to the sea of souls by stone-fall. In the shattered dwelling a piece of roof fell on me by no other power than that which dictates that all things fall. Thus, my spirit was freed from flesh but still bound to the land until the final part of the vision comes to pass.
I give over this armour to the Spirit-Seer that walks with the flame-haired sisters of the Phoenix. Use it well and in service to life. One last message I have. To the learned-one from the clan of Cormak; your patriarch is no more and has gone to swim with your ancestors in the sea of souls but take heart. Your matriarch and siblings were living when last I saw them and if the spirits will it, they are among my people to the West, in great Lemuria.
Be well and beware; the Madhaven has many dangers and not all are unquiet spirits.”
With that final sentence, the hologram fades and the crystal goes dark.
“Because it’s THRILLER, Thriller Night!” November 7th P.A.109
Another sleepless night for Rika Hanlah-Falkon VII, however all for the good. Around dawn hour Enrique was released from the quarantine section of the N.H.E. by the NuMan after she had run exhaustive tests on both him and the ‘Skin’ bio-armour. Both were free of toxins or pathogens so after giving the young mystic the good news Rika allowed him to get dressed and go check out his new toy.
30 minutes later Rika met up with Chris Altobeli up in the obs. Blister and shared some of the coffee that had been brewed earlier. The Sergeant from Ishpeming was in a pensive mood; distracted and having flashes of headache pain as images and thoughts that may be repressed memories or not tried coming through. While Altobeli struggled with his first mental bouts, Darius Canis-Lupus asked what should be done prior to their next foray into Madhaven, to which Rika requested he send a communiqué to James Cormak, informing him of most of his family still being alive if the message from Kahuna was to be believed. With a short pre-mission meeting, the NuMan captain informed everyone she was going to get 4 hours of sleep and then they were going back in. Darius & Fionna did a quick mile radius air patrol around the camp site (finding an eerie lack of even small wildlife within 5 miles of the Madhaven isthmus) and quickly returned. While the Burster and Quatoria were making sure no one snuck up on the camp site, Enrique spent the time trying to read the instructions on how to enter his gift of ‘Skin’: eventually relying on Altobeli’s half-remembered (though from where caused his brain to feel like it was afire) knowledge that most bio-tech required the user to be naked and in flesh-to-shell contact. When the mystic did so, a brief feeling of claustrophobia assailed his mind but was quickly banished when the enhanced senses meshed with his nervous system.
Enrique felt like a new man; stronger, more alert and more importantly, protected. Soon after Rika awoke, acknowledging Enrique’s accomplishment, then she began giving the marching orders; Melody Darius & Chris would take flanking positions outside the Hover, while Enrique would remain inside the vehicle while Rika drove it in.
The first hour within Madhaven had the team find a sign marked with stylized bird outline, wings spread, in (fresh) orange paint with Elvin lettering. Melody translated the message as both a greeting and warning from ‘The riders of spirits’, which the others interpreted as being from the Shemarrain Ghost-Rider tribe informing them of the dangers inside the ruined island city. Though they saw none of the cyborg amazons, they knew they had their backs watched on the mainland.
Further in ruined vehicles of military and civilian make (wheeled & hover) were scattered along the shattered roadways and under rubble; no weapons, armour or even bodies could be found but about 2 months of both CS and NG issue M.R.E.s (meals ready to eat) were scrounged still intact. Another section showed the bizarre nature of the Madhaven; Enrique, constantly under the oppressive feeling of unnatural observation from all around was further stunned when they entered what seemed to be a sub-tropical glen filled with alien trees, moss & fungi. Both Darius & Chris followed an energy reading Rika had detected using advanced Naruni sensors on the NH.E. into a patch of fungus that erupted into toxic spore clouds when Chris (and then later Enrique) tripped on them. The energy reading was identified as a Willow O’ Wisp, which when named by the mystic, and the others backed off, shot off to the South-east howling like a banshee. The place was beginning to wear everyone’s nerves raw (except Rika, aside from natural concern for her people, was both mind-blocked and under psionic fear-suppression) with the constant jump scares and oppressiveness.
That was soon to change for the worst.
Another turn and they were now back in early winter weather and mega-crete ruins. Not even a minute passed before a new horror assailed the men outside the N.H.E.; a pack of 4 infant sized “creatures” composed of bloated slug-white bodies, 3 inch long talons and heads which were all needle sharp teeth in gaping maws. Sergeant Altobeli was the only one that actually was struck, thinking his helmet visor was being eaten away by fang and acidic saliva, he took his NG rail-pistol and shot 5 times into the horror, only to find his shots had passed through nothing but air and instead brought down a section of old building. Darius had even worse luck; his pulse rifle blew deep holes into the tarmac, which was only thinly spread over what seemed to be a very deep sinkhole (as the rubble Chris had made fell into the new craters). To add insult to injury, as Altobeli consulted his Nordic rune-set, a massive E.M. spike was detected by both Rika and Darius, coming from the Western end of the city block. A huge pit opened up amidst ground tremors and out erupted Chris’ fear made real… a Scorpion like beast nearly 80+ feet long. Identical to one of the three that had killed his traveling comrades on the NG hover train.
“If it’s not one thing it’s another…” Part 1
The battle with the giant scorpion was fierce; Chris Altobelli almost being taken out by the bio-electric railgun within the bio-constructs back. Only via close co-coordinated tactics was the alien beast finally subdued (With Rika and the Enrique leaping onto the back of the Skorpon to begin removing limbs and extremities at the root). With Melody unleashing the final blow as the Skorpon tried to retreat, its neural-cortex was smashed without damaging the bio-energy organ. A few hours later, Altobelli was buttoned-up in the tactical Dreadnaught Armour (AkA; Terminator suit) gifted to him by Rika. Just in time to find a rather peaceful open area within the center of the Madhaven.
3 thermal vents near a deep but narrow stream cutting through a park were discovered and it was voted to try and enter one of them to see what may lurk below. Barely waiting for Rika to attach a cable & winch, Sgt. Altobelli leapt into one of the uncovered holes with Darius following soon after. What was discovered was a massive underground warren of natural earth & stone formations intermixed with ancient and even new tunnels. Soon after exploring a large 1000 Sq. foot area the team detected another individual ghosting them and both Darius & Sgt. Altobelli sprinted after the rag cloaked figure they found (who had subsequently ran from the 9ft. tall man-wolf and 1+ tonne walking tank) but soon lost the person / creature near a very narrow hole drilled into one of the walls. After a few moments they were addressed by the creature (his head at least; face covered by a pre-cataclysm gas-mask), which demanded to know why they had chased him. After a few apologies by the two contrite warriors, Wiggles agreed to tell them that yes, things were bad in Madhaven but those born inside the ruined city were able to cope with the spirits, but tended to be twisted in body as a result. Wiggles also said that the Hollow-ones were no longer a danger but that something almost as bad if not worse was now present, stalking mutant, human and other beasts equally. He indicated East was the way to where these new “bad lizards” may be found. After wishing them luck, Wiggles pulled his head back into the far too narrow hole and left Rika and the 3 males to make their own way through the tunnels…weapons ready.
“If it’s not one thing it’s another…” Part 2
Three hours of wandering through the twisted (and remarkably intact) underground tunnels of Madhaven later; Enrique, Chris, Darius & Rika found themselves in front of a set of large cargo elevator doors with kanji lettering stenciled on them. The captain recognized what it could be, based on her conversations back in Lazlo with Dr. Urahara; The Solitude 1 research facility and sanctuary. Sergeant Altobelli applied the chainfist gauntlet of his Terminator armour to the door and with some applied strength by the 3 males of the group; the way was open to descend. Inside the underground facility, Enrique felt a massive build up of PPE that was remaining static in one corner of the abandoned base. Investigation found one of the rooms was actually occupied by a man in his early thirties, comatose & hooked up to an auto-doctor unit. Enrique and then Rika began healing and medical procedures to assist the man JUST as a warning message blared through the Solitude 1 P.A. system. Darius, Chris and eventually Rick (who had been addressed by the stranger before he became unconscious again; “They found me…the Aggendi”) fended off a quartet of alien looking “hounds” that had managed to climb down the walls of the elevator shaft. The brief but furious fusillade by the trio cut down the beasts but the stray weapons fire also collapsed the shaft. They were STUCK, and night was falling rapidly outside, along with the disturbing news the young mystic had “heard” a telepathic chorus of voices yammering about finding ‘prey’ as the alien hounds died.
Things looked bleak; buried alive, with the nocturnal predators of Madhaven seeking a way down to get at the fresh meat & souls in the now-compromised Solitude 1. However when Rika finally managed to re-establish contact with Fionna & Melody (who D-ported into Solitude 1 to assist the NuMan with possibly porting back out) a new avenue of egress had been found. Dr. Urahara’s Wormhole portal device was still active and NOT destroyed as Rika had assumed. A little telemechanic communion with the computer systems later and Team Alpha had their way out, but to be sure, Sgt. Altobelli and Warp-Huntress Faraday worked in tandem to make sure that the Solitude could NOT be used by any malignant forces. Rika was the final one to jump through the rapidly closing Wormhole which re-located its end-point above Madhaven just as Solitude 1 went up in a super-fueled fuel-air explosion. The lightshow was a cataclysmic but welcome end to the day.
Seeing that the rescued stranger was placed in the Naruni Hover Explorer’s medical cubical to finish healing, the team settled down to enjoy the uncommon peaceful nature of the park their vehicles were grounded in; watching the stars and the city move (yes, the city seemed to re-structure itself as they looked on in mounting annoyance).
The next day both Enrique and Chris walked past the N.H.E.’s kitchenette and absently waved to the dark clothed (and rather dashing) young man seated at the table sipping at coffee.
The date is now November 8th, P.A. 109.
A slice of life; Nov. 8th P.A. 109.
~The stranger introduced himself as Roland Duel Knight Templar of the holy order of Kalicar, attempting to repay the debt of his Commander, Taeken Angraeus-Colk. After explaining why he had been unable to do so earlier (Shalyndra either forgetting or deliberately with-holding info) and his side-quest to deal with the un-settling fact the forces of the Dark-Cabal now had Imperial Titan technology (and how Roland knew this peeked Rika’s interest). When informed of the presence of Aggendi on Terra, he became agitated and made a psionic faux-pas by yelling telepathically. As he was about to apologize for this; stating he had recently ‘re-set’ an explosion was heard outside.
~An android/cyborg/D-Bee bio-mechanoid had impacted into the frozen ground just a few meters away from the parked hover vehicles. It was identified as a R’Marr scavenger by Sir Duel; a race of borg-men who did trade with the Shemarrians, junk for tradable items. Before self destructing, the R’Marr began to speak the final thoughts in its cybernetic mind… hostile life forms to the WEST of where it impacted (even though the team verified it had crashed down from the EAST). Regardless they would go west to the map co-ordinates given by the dying borg-man. At this time it was decided that Fionna should quickly move to within radio range of Lazlo and call in support. If it WAS Aggendi, they’d most likely need extra man & firepower.
~Upon arriving at the map co-ordinates (and having the psychic onslaught of spirit voices along their trip suddenly silence), they found evidence of a large skirmish. Roland Duel had to be restrained by Enrique and knocked unconscious by Rika, as he was about to debouche the N.H.E. when dressed only in his pants & jacket. In the “streets” were strewn infantry combat robots along with several heavy war machines (that looked vaguely familiar but were too badly damaged to identify), along with what caused Roland to act so impetuously; an easily recognizable Aggendi warrior corpse.
~Following a set of stairs and short tunnel into the Madhaven / New-York underground & subway system, the team found a weirdly organic looking series of interconnected chambers, filled with faint glowing crystals and fungus (along with the smell of organic decay). Further search in these chambers revealed a pile of corpses inside a spongy mass of mold / fungus, slowly being absorbed and the resultant material pumped into giant aloe-like plants. A short burst of bolter fire set the mass aflame. This action elicited a chorus of psychic voices demanding the “intruders” be killed. Soon after the ambush started. Aggendi warriors, using tactics that made Melody confused and worried, began to open up with bio-electric blaster and particle rifle fire. Even with 2 of the latter stage clone-leaders and an equal number of broodlings being swiftly taken care of by the hero’s, the battle continued. It was as if the very walls were beginning to spawn the alien saurians.
