Rage Against the Rikti-Squadron Registry: Virtue
Meanwhile, an ocean away...
A lone figure sits in a newly-built hall, upon an ornate chair raised one step above the room. Beneath the chair sits a large, worn stone. His eyes, framed by the fine lines of care, years, and worry, flick quickly over reports as the pages turn. Most of the content is innocuous enough.
A messenger enters and crosses the room, stopping at a respectful distance. After a few moments the throne's occupant speaks without raising his eyes from the report in his hands.
"Aye, Malcolm?"
"Your Majesty. I have an urgent message for you. It's from ... Ajax."
Steel-grey eyes fix the messenger, and the room's temperature drops a few degrees for just a moment. Then a sigh, fraught with knowledge of the trials that must follow short on the heels of this missive.
"Of course, let me see it."
*parchment crackling*
"Malcolm, please send my condolences to Her Majesty in Buckingham, as I'll no' be able to attend the summit. Make sure Parliament knows they may have t' do without me for some time as well. Alert the Blackwatch. Then reply to this for me. Tell them Royal Sovereign is at their disposal."
"Very good, my liege."

James Calendar sat at the briefing table, gripping the edge of it with shaking hands. Just reading the notice was enough to bring back the memories of the worst year of his life. Some small, sadistic part of his mind insisted on replaying the sound Connoly's head made as it bounced across the courtyard at Portal Corp.
James had manged to climb back up after the war; Kelly had been a large part of that. She had saved his brother's life, she saved his soul. He'd finally managed to get back into school, and was on track to actually complete his junior year this time. Did he really want to risk all that for a chance at revenge?
Yes.

Captain Marks sat back after perusing his e-mail; it was about the only thing that worked in the shack that was HQ.
So they're coming back. Folks say how advanced they're 'sposed to be, but they keep sticking their snouts into the one town guaranteed to punch it in.

~hands in her pockets and a rifle slung over a shoulder she makes her way down the street humming to herself. Business had been rather slow with so many new heroes emerging everywhere one turned. She stops as she hears her com start shouting out "Emergency." A wide grin spreads across her face as she unslings her rifle and pops a clip into it before taking to the skies~

"Take that Hami!" ~She smashes a Jonny Icon action figure's foot into her green jello. She laughs and then takes a bite of the jello, her feet dangling from the too tall of a chair she is sitting in at the table.~ Hm? ~She looks over at her official Jonny Icon Emergency Alarm on the wall and listens to what it has to say. A big grin erupts and she shoves the table aside smashing it against the wall, her little wings start fluttering rapidly lifting her off the chair.~ "I cant wait to see whats happeneing out there!" ~She looks at the splintered table~ "oops. no time to worry about cleaning up now!" ~She then opens the window and flies off toward the fight, giggling the entire time and wondering if she'll see anyone she knows!~

Someone care to explain CLEARLY what exactly it is?
Seems like it's like the first invasion? But a bunch of us weren't there back then....is it something special or it's just like the weekend invasion?
And what's the thing about giving our global? I could probably apply and bail out if i don't like it, but i hate to do that.

Somewhere in the clouds above Paragon City, a red and blue streak raced through the skies toward Atlas Park. As the clouds parted, and the mighty Atlas Memorial came into view, the figure began to lose speed, until the blurr of color vanished, a red and blue clad hero in it's place.
The hero known as Sentry-Man touched down in front of City Hall, as he usually did before he began any patrol. The familiar sights of heroes gathered in the plaza brought a smile to his face, as his hand activated his GAH communicator.
"Good afternoon, everyone," he began. "This is Sentry-Man, signing on for patrol."
He made idol chatter with his friends and allies as they greeted each other over the channel. Suddenly, his communicator indicated a global broadcast. With a look of concern, he played the message.

Abandoning the smile from before, Sentry-Man's face now displayed a look of sheer determination behind his domino mask. The familiar red halo of energy enveloped his gloved hands, as he adjusted himself into a defiant stance.
"You Rikti never learn, do you?"
Sentry-Man was ready to defend his home.

Brickstown, Paragon City...
Saadiq Night shifted down the gears of his '08 Mustang GT as he pulled into the parking lot of his apartment complex in Brickstown. Shades adjusted on the bridge of his nose, he hopped out of his car and locked it, hoisting a backpack over his shoulder as he exited the lot. He strolled casually towards the door man, giving him a nod and a brief "Hey" before walking past him and to an elevator. He tapped the button for the 12th Floor, and let out an exasperated sigh as the doors closed.
He was exhausted. From 9 to 5, Saadiq's day had been filled with board meetings, errands, gadget tweaking here-and-there, as he struggled to get his business off the ground. On top of that, he'd been interrupted several times by the local sets of Council and Freakshow causing trouble, and on occassion he had to step out, suit up, and take care of the issues, which only made his day longer. All he'd been able to think about since he got up was getting back home so he could get to work on brainstorming ideas for new inventions. But now, all he wanted was a nap.
A ding signaled to Saadiq that the elevator had reached his floor, and the doors pulled back open. He strolled out and down the hallway, to his apartment door. He ran one hand through his shoulder-long locks as the other fished in his pocket for the keys. The grooves from the key went through the tumblers of the lock, he twisted the knob, and nudging the door ajar, he entered his small spartan apartment. The bag on his shoulders hit the floor as he dove onto the couch.
"Man, feels great to be back ho--*Bzzt!**Bzzt!*"
Saadiq pulled his Justiciars comm. link from his pocket. A flashing light indicated that a message had just been received, and his thumb activated it.
*Beep*

"...Great." Without hesitation, Saadiq rose from the couch and slapped a concealed button on his wristwatch. A silver liquid substance swarmed out of it and engulfed his body, and the nanites formed a white and black costume. The nanites closed in, and a golden insignia emblazened across his chest.
"Open," he commanded, and the window in his living room opened wide. He sprinted forward into a dive, and blasted out into Paragon City.
The Oversurge had a job to do.
