L.N.
Spur: a rust-noir town in a diesel-western world of declining
industry.
The
Dean Hogue Applied Science and Technology Lab, where folks work late
into the night on a secret project...
Dr.
Dwight D. Floyd tests
his latest device, the Super-Liminal Aether Phase Resonator, or
S.L.A.P.R.
BBG-01
Talos helps with
heavy lifting, and Chet
Frankly climbs
into his protective suit while Eloise Whittaker coordinates
the crew.
But
outside, the skies suddenly fill with bizarre red lightning…
sending the experiment awry!
The
lab screams and distorts, tearing itself apart and landing in a
featureless, twisted, liminal space.
Dr.
Floyd is nowhere to be seen. And a new machine has appeared amongst
the wreckage…
Talos introduces himself, and after a datalink
transfer, knows this new stranger as DW-40. But what world are they
from?
Eloise
checks on Chet, who complains about a ringing in his ears. When she
opens his visor, the suit is… empty?
Worse still, she sees
her own reflection, now a glowing ghost of plasma!
Desperate
to get the lab working so they can return home, Talos and DW-40
venture out to the Scavlands to find much needed resources.
Talos
stumbles into an inverse gravity field-- reality is as twisted as the
landscape here!
As
maybe-Chet and once-was-Eloise look for resources, they spot ratlike
creatures known as Scavs- who fire arcing bolts of electricity at
them!
The
Scavs infiltrate the Lab, and argue over whether to power up the
machines or rip them apart for scrap...
A
swirling tornado of warping plasma tears into the Lab, escalating the
confrontation!
The
crew drive off the worst of the Scavs, and get the S.L.A.P.R. up and
running again, warping away before the storm consumes them all! But
where, or when, are they going?
