Sammy's Power Transfer

Date May 6, 2019 Location Voss Campus
Outcome: Sammy gains size-alteration; the team's power-distribution program begins

Summary

At the Voss Campus obstacle course, Sammy received the first power juice transfer via syringe, witnessed by Voss and The Dragon. He manifested a size-alteration power, marking the first field application of Voss’s power-transfer technology and the start of a program to spread power across the team.

Details

This milestone occurred during [Session 07 - The Vegas Hive - Napalm and New Powers](…/chapters/Chapter 1 - The Hungry God/Sessions/session-07-the-vegas-hive-napalm-and-new-powers.html) at the Voss Campus obstacle course. Sammy became the first recipient of a power juice transfer, administered via syringe and witnessed by Voss and The Dragon.

Sammy manifested a size-alteration power, experienced as a warm spinning energy he can control:

  • Slowing it shrinks him to roughly 4 feet.
  • Speeding it up grows him to roughly 9 feet, shredding his clothes, with strength scaling up with his size — but leaving him fatigued and ravenous afterward.

Fine control — attempting to enlarge a single hand — failed on the first attempt.

This is the first field application of Voss’s power-transfer technology and the start of the program to spread power across the team, rather than concentrating it into a single champion as was done on Terra.

Participants

  • Sammy Castaneda — First power juice recipient; manifested size-alteration
  • Adrian Voss — Provided and oversaw the transfer technology
  • The Dragon — Witnessed the transfer
  • Power Juice — The transfer agent administered by syringe

Outcome & Consequences

  • Sammy gains a size-alteration power (shrink to ~4 ft / grow to ~9 ft)
  • Growth scales strength but causes fatigue and ravenous hunger
  • Fine control not yet achieved
  • The team’s power-distribution program begins, contrasting Terra’s single-champion model
