    Signal Light

    Signal Light

    Before we dive back into the world of our troubled teen superheroes, we take time to flesh out our version of Halcyon City.  Who is Maggie McIntyre, and who did she fight? Who is the ex-hero that killed Hal Monroe's team, and what is his history?  How many aliens have passed through Halcyon?  Why did the Good Boy pick that particular name?  All this and more will be answered in today's episode!  (Though if you don't like worldbuilding episodes, you can safely skip this and go into the next season without it.)
    The game we played today is Signal Light, a Masks-themed hack of Microscope.  Microscope was written by Ben Robbins; Signal Light was written by James Malloy.

    Kim and Papillon sit down with the brain behind f-no-reversal, Oscar, and learn his strange, sad story.  Once Papillon ensures her fanbase will not be disappointed, life returns to normalcy for a while.  Then, Final Hazard gets called to a real disturbance in action:  a strange portal has opened up downtown, spewing an endless stream of black ooze disrupting everything in its path.  What's more, one of Reversal's "villain rehab" cases, a shapeshifting alien called Quicksilver, is at the scene, suspected of being the perpetrator but swearing to their innocence.  Can the team pull together to beat this new foe?  What secrets await them at the scene?
