In the aftermath of the strange inversion of the metagene bomb, the party started to feel very strange. Dynasty and Katrina start uncontrollably blasting energy. Their energy washes over the other heroes burning them.
Katrina realises that the blast seems to have effected their powers somehow. Dynasty creates a nullification shadow blast in hopes of controlling their out of control energy. Katrina looks around and our heroes black out.
Dynasty awakes in complete darkness. She feels an incredible pain in her head. She attempts to use her abilities but cannot activate them. Furthermore, she is restrained. She realises she has been effected by the metagene bomb. She hears someone come in to her room. She hears a voice a talking and apparently transcribing scientific observations but doesn't talk directly to her.
Quatro comes to and is aware of an intense pain in his head. He sees he is in a room like an operating theater. Furthermore, he is bound and restrained - unable to move. He is unable to break his restraints. He tries to communicate through his flight ring and is able to reach Dynasty. However, the being monitoring Dynasty takes her ring.
Skid awakens feeling intense pain all over his body. He is restrained in an operating room as well. On the table next to him he sees "wooden dowels" which he realises are core samples that their captors have taken. He notes his healing power and friction modification powers are failing. Skid works and manages to work his hands free from his restraints. He manages to free himself.
Katrina awakens and finds herself in a clear tube with a series of tubes attached to her that are pulling the atmospherium from her body. She is mildly restrained and that her powers are also not working. She looks around the room and realises it's a primitive (by her standards) laboratory but understands generally what she is seeing. She manages to contact Skid and Quatro via her ring.
Skid picks up the core sampling tool and manages to capture one of the aliens that are in the ship, a Psion. He orders the psion to take him to the others. He orders the Psion to take him to Katrina. They free Katrina, reverse the process, and lock him up. Skid hands her the omnipad the Psion had and figures it out.
Quatro frees himself and looks around and sees on the table next to him his removed and sliced secondary brain. The portion of his skull that housed it is EMPTY and exposed.
Dynasty manages to perform a ritual, using knowledge she gained from Antonion Stefanacci, Former Curator of the Museum of Mystic Arts in Sanangelopolis, Sorcerer Supreme of Earth, Assistant Instructor at the Legion Academy, Wearer of the Helm of Nabu, and Servant of the Lords of Order that allows her to free herself. As she escapes she notes that she still cannot see. Her eyes have been removed. She uses the ritual to start healing herself and regrow her eyes.
Skid and Katrina strike out and find Dynasty and Quatro. Dynasty works the ritual and heals the rest of the party. They also realise they don't know where Reflectikid is. Katrina reads the various notes on them by the Psions. They also read that there are other beings who have been captured.
As they finish, Khund troopers arrive. The party, powerless fights them. Katrina hacks the surgical laser in the ceiling to use as a weapon. They defeat the Khunds.
Dynasty suddenly realises that she can "un-nullify" the metagene bomb effect with a ritual to similar to how she healed everyone. Their powers return.
While this is happening, Katrina gets a call on the omnipad from the other Psions. They convince the caller that there is an error but they are able to proceed.
They head out and try to find the others who are being held captive. They locate and free Stealth, Vril Dox II, Garryn Bek, and a being that looks surprisingly like Dynasty's mother.
Should full casters and Monks have one weapon mastery?

After playing 2024 for a couple months I am thinking about giving full
casters each one weapon mastery. There are two reasons for this.
