I leave for a short time, and I come back to this?

[Megatron may have taken what he considers a 'short' sojourn out to the badlands to scout for Megatronus Prime--one of the few things he manages to agree with his Firstforged about. Granted, 'short' was almost two months, and 'sojourn' was more like 'grueling death march,' but he cant say he regrets it.]

[So now...coming back to what looks like a battleground?]

Is there anyone who cares to fill me in on what I missed?

Megatron.

[An acknowledgment as he offers a nod of greeting – he's spoken to you at least once or twice before.]

As others have already explained, we had a failed nuclear power plant brought through by the Lambda. I have reason to believe it may have been the Chernobyl plant which famously went into meltdown and exploded in the Ukraine back on Earth in 1986, forever ruining a vast region now known as the Exclusion Zone. Apparently the center area that zone was brought here, though it must have been from an alternate Earth than my own, because it brought with it mutated horrors that the Zone from my world simply doesn't have.

The power plant has since been destroyed, somehow sent back through the spatial rift it came from apparently, since it seems to have taken all its monsters and its radiation with it.

[He asked for a description...and that? That qualified as one.]

Is the radiation really gone? That could be more difficult to get rid of then monsters.

[thankyou4myheart]

Not wholly yet, sir, but it seems to be fading rapidly. Humans and other susceptible organics - [And others with insufficient shielding…like him] - are still being advised to exercise caution and carry radiometers anywhere they go to watch their exposure, and decom baths are still being kept at the ready at the medbays, but overall the situation is definitely improving.

[megaton]

Ah.

Well, give it another month or so, I'm sure we won't have improvements for long. I'm starting to wonder why we try building anything of our own. If not radiation, then monsters. Or earthquakes.

OMG I'm tempted to have Deckard simply make the comment that he's from Japan... 9,9

[thankyou4myheart]

((ooc: Monsters, earthquakes . . . and what was the name of that RL power plant in Japan that melted down not that long ago? 9,9))


Determination, I suppose. What's been built here keeps getting damaged, but it's not yet been completely demolished. That I've seen or ever heard of, at least. Overall, it seems like we keep making progress, even if it gets set back a step or two at a time.
