Pamphlet: Retribution of the Daleks

From Whatis
Jump to: navigation, search

A new danger has arisen in the multiverse. A new force of Daleks has come into power on another Earth and now is making it's way across their own universe with the possible mission to attack that of 1337-A. This pamphlet is to help understand and keep track of events.

Timeline

March 13

During the evening, Chat became aware of one of her universal branches suddenly dying. Investigating, The Hotel denizens found their counterparts dead in their version of the lobby, as well as technology gutted from it's structure. With the help of Masked Figure, they were able to look back in time and discover the culprits to be a group of Daleks, who murdered Raoul, David, Masaki, Masked Figure, Thrash, Eitak, Cressida, Vermillia, Gemini, Xadium, Freya, Orion, Green and Caligo with ease, while kidnapping Intern for "interrogation."

Seeking possible help, Burroughs suggested calling his counterpart as well as Raoul's family in that universe, only to discover their version of the netherworld massacred by the same force. A further investigation by The Magistra discovered that the universe was very much the same as that of Earth 1337-A, though room 1603 had been left abandoned in the structure for several months, as well as the Theatre having been transferred to Freya's name. At the same time, a new force made its presence known: The Establishment, who made it clear that with their hands on Hotel technology, this group of Daleks could very well become an omniversal threat.

March 14

After a meeting, it was decided that The Actuary would head to the alternate Earth to find out the truth. Making her way to the remains of the Hotel, she discovered that its defenses had been shut down remotely by code. She also learned the traces of energy had a quantum trace to it, an energy based off reality crystalline disruption. The energy was found to have matched the Lodestone energy found on Quinox. It was discovered that in this universe, Matsumi had been captured by the Daleks and converted. In her struggle to escape, she accidentally killed Hideki, driving her insane. Actuary soon vanished, dying due to her exposure to the shadow realm. The Tyrant, as well, sensed the danger the Daleks posed and sent Mr. Stix to suggest a partnership of goods.

March 16

With confusion at an all time high, The Scalpel came in and explained as much as she could to the rest, including how the Dalek's weapons (a reality splicer which changed the odds of getting harmed) worked.

March 19

Scalpel reported that fluctuations were coming from a singularity point--the Dalek Fleet was headed this way!

Forces assembled and began fighting the fleet, only to soon learn--the Ultimate Dalek of 1337-YDX was that universe's Matsumi. She came with a report: The Actuary convinced the Hotel's people (namely Nelius, Xadium and Eitak) to help in the construction of the Reality Drill, a galaxy-busting superweapon intended to eradicate the Daleks once and for all. The weapon worked--a little too successfully, as a neighboring galaxy was also caught in the blast.

The alternates of the Hotel regulars who were killed by the Daleks were targeted in retribution for their association in an act that cost an incomprehensively large number of innocent lives, and to ensure that the weapon could not be duplicated. Unfortunately, one key target escaped. Actuary, after having seen her daughter get horrifically injured during Simon's death, began a crusade to cross into other dimensions, find those versions of Simon and the Daleks, and wipe them out.

It seems that 1337-A is next on that list. However, Dalek-Matsumi detailed how the drill was formed--Xadium made the core and inner workings, Nelius provided an entire Netherworld's worth of magic to fuel it, and Eitak worked out transportation methods.

Simon, who had previously advocated inaction because there were an infinite number of other universes' worth of heroes who would step up to stop this "Dalek threat," zealously reversed his attitude upon learning that he specifically was the target of the superweapon. Seeing a prime opportunity, and eager as ever to avert his own death, he gladly lent his services to stopping YDX's Actuary from carrying out this plot.

April 10ish

The Actuary of YDX revealed that she's had a significant hand in the subtle troubles that the Hotel has been having with its systems, its power, and its security. Chateaux, deeply spiritually troubled with this revelation, has left a shell program operating the TARDIS while she trains with rei.bot.

April 15ish

The Hotel food and water supplies have been tainted with aspirin! One Time Lord has already gotten thoroughly sick, and nobody else knows how much they might have been influenced by it, which naturally creates a panic among the folks of the Hotel. Yaijinden has temporarily abated the water concern by filling it with mostly-benign spirits whose nature inclines them to do exactly that, allowing the kitchen staff to clean everything back up and replenish their food stores.

April 18

Showing up in the Hotel via the TV, Actuary offered to end the violence if the Hotel was willing to give up Simon. In addition, she gave them 48 hours in order to comply.

April 19

During a discussion, the hotel was horrified to find the desecrated and torn body of Chiyoko, most of her parts removed. With what strength was left of her, Chiyoko gave the warning that a shape shifter was among them before passing on. They also discovered her Thunder Crystal had been forcibly removed.

April 20

With the deadline for turning over Simon passed and no sign of compliance, Actuary activated a series of bombs, blowing up the Moon Palace, as well as causing explosions on the other planets in The Sol System. She then forcibly teleported the suit that Simon supposedly was wearing (since it had been constructed by her rather than Chat), only to find it empty. Instead, she decided to use the data preserved in the suit to try to hunt the Lich down. In addition, it was discovered that Kailey had been kidnapped earlier, along with the Dragon Balls she held.

Later that night, it was discovered that the Matsumi which had been present for most of the events was in fact Actuary in disguise. With little choice, Actuary fled, it being revealed that Matsumi was safe and sound in the US.

May 11

With Simon desperate to destroy Actuary, the lich contacted Obsidian through a silver raven, unaware of the rogue Time Lord listening in via nanoprobes. Once on the planet, the nanites took over the surface of the world, threatening to destroy the capitol unless Obsidian handed over Simon or the object Simon had entrusted to him. While the nanites' plan was defeated by an arriving group of heroes (including a mysterious cloaked figure), it left the planet damaged and prepared for war.

June 7

Once the mysterious figure revealed herself to be a future version of Intern, Kailey and Sakura escaped to embark on a dangerous plan. While Actuary was stopped from attempting to wipe all versions of herself from the multiverse, the two Time Lords managed to pull AU Actuary's own war machine into real time via the Namekian Dragon Balls. However, they were left only with a wrecked shell, as well as the dead body of YDX's Rei Hino.
