I don't believe there is much you can do with your final turn, so you can just post "finished playing" or something like that if you don't feel like bothering with a full post. Thanks for playing, and thanks for writing some fun narratives for your posts! I hope you enjoy the RPSC, and I am looking forward to seeing what team you start writing for.

I'll be writing up an epilogue post soon.

FINISHED PLAYING

Ya it was very cool

I look forward to running my own team soon.

Just curious, the scenario and story..was that written by you or Lightshear?

I wrote the story, but Lightshear (as the editor) was in charge of coming up with the scenario for me to play.

Epilogue

"Temporal coordinates locked!" shouted Doc Brown over the growing hum of the Way-Back-Machine. He flipped dials and levers like mad, his choices appearing random to anyone watching.

Cir crouched inside the time-travel pod, catching her breath after fighting her way through the horde of aliens.

"Power to full... 1.21 Gigawatts!" called out Doc Brown, the lights dimming as power was diverted into the machine.

Cir tried not to worry about her friends and the people of Metropolis, telling herself that Buster would find a way to protect Chyrl, and that everything would always work out in the end. Ahead of her a portal in the ceiling pulled open, aligned with her pod as it prepared to launch. She focused on the here and now, not thinking about what was about to happen in the near future... err, past. Whatever. Cir braced for launch.

"3...2...1... Liftoff!" Doc Brown counted down, throwing the final lever as the flux capacitor reached the critical energy threshold. With a rush of exhaust the Way Back machine shot straight up into the air, rocketing Cir-El up into the air.

"Urrp." Cir gurlged, feeling her lunch move up into the back of her throat. She placed a hand over her mouth just in case, feeling a little motion sick. How unladylike!

Moments later the blue light of Earth's atmosphere faded into the black of outer space. Turning in her seat Cir looked back at her home planet, just in time to see it being swallowed by the white void of anti-time. The planet crumbled under the stress, coming apart into chunks and exploding outward as if the bits of planet were trying to escape their fate. Thankfully the frightful image faded into the distance as Cir's rocket picked up speed. The pod moved faster and faster until space became a black and white blur, images and scenes from history passing by the glass top of Cir's time-machine faster than she could comprehend them.

Very quickly the black and white images blurred into gray, then darkened into black. Or perhaps Cir had simply blacked out? It was hard to say. It was harder to tell how much time had passed for her, when suddenly Cir experienced the hardest impact she had ever felt.

Opening her eyes, Cir found herself sprawled in the middle of a blackened crater. There were no remains of her time travel pod; she assumed it must have been utterly destroyed by the impact. Cir dusted herself off, shaking off dirt and patting out a fire that had started on her cape. She huffed, feeling tired, frustrated and hungry.

"Okay, so where to now... oh." Cir looked up to see a weathered billboard with her mother's smiling face on it.

"The Daily Planet" it read in big, faded letters. "News that covers the globe, and then some."

"Mom! She'll know what to do." Cir decided. Cir puffed out her chest, pointed her arms the the sky, and called out "Up, up, and away!"
