It began as a day like any other. This quickly changed when the air went silver and clouds of nanites fell upon Emerald City. People caught in the clouds were changed. Not everyone was affected, but those who were quickly found themselves transformed into powerful and often unstable individuals reeling from the massive change the Silver Storm wrought.
The Storm was the product of Tellax the Redeemer, an alien machine seeking to create an army of superhumans to destroy a coming threat. Tellax never considered or cared about how those transformed would have their lives changed. Regular people became heroes and monsters that day, and the world was never the same. Worse, some did not change obviously and immediately — they are living time bombs waiting to explode when their altered genetics combine with the wrong situation.
Now Tellax lies inert in Emerald City harbor, a shining reminder of how the world has changed. Weeks after the Silver Storm has passed, one of its victims is about to erupt at the Cannery, a local landmark and major shopping center.
