THE MORALITY OF MORTALITY | Arc 5

image In this story arc of our American Gods we have just witnessed the turn of the tide. Brian, Mandy, Jack and Arthur have always referred to themselves as Survivors, however they have faced mother nature herself... and won. Our story begins anew as the survivors of American Airlines Flight 283 begin to see the evidence that they are truly seperate from mortal men. Like it or not, the Survivors ARE Godlike. Lines in the sand are being drawn - a politician, a firefighter, the young heir, and a cook may have chosen to play in the big boy's sandbox... But who gets to choose sides?

  • issue # 26:5 : "Lines in the Sand" , January 23th, 2006.
    • PREVIEW: In the days following the massive aftershocks in Kashmir, Jack and Arthur plan a event of their own... The duo plan to raid "No Man's Land" the Military Base located on the site of the mysterious 5th plane of the 9/11 Disaster. Meanwhile, Brian Jaffe takes his role as the face of these American Gods with the strongest primetime special as yet attended by a Survivor - Barbara Walters. In the wings Mandy returns from her relief efforts, a new friend meets an old one and as they all settle in to the life Mandy's been rebuilding - problems begin to arise...
    • RECAP #1: The Hopewell Survivors would soon return from their time of relief aid, but it's the bits between the cracks that matter most. In the days following the largest aftershocks that nearly buried Mandy and Arthur for good - there would still be time to be GODLIKE!! While Brian toils at entertaining the world interviewed by Barbara Walters, the dynamic duo of Jack and Arthur race across the globe on little sleep to infiltrate "No Man's Land" - leaving Brian and Mandy with solid alibi.
    • RECAP #2: in the desert, The sun setting across blistering waves of heat.
      Mandy sits with a collection of crews discussing the days events and bonding with her team mates.. Shes in her eliment.. perhaphs one even sees her smile as the sad dog next her nuzzles once at her hand and looks away as if hopping one last time for a lost master to come home...
      One of the young teammembers loudly talks about a man he rescued that day he pantomimes as he talks "And we umburied him and he High Fives me! I couldn't believe it he was under all that crap and when we unbarried him he High Fived me. I haven't felt that good ever before" Exuberantly he turns to High five Mandy... as his hand lifts it begins a slowing arch through the air... strangly everything seems to become still and quiet.. Mandy looks up and around to see statues where once the animated faces of her teams celebrated the days work.. She says "hello Aurther, " raising an eyebrow even before the impossably fast man appears across from her with a plate fit to feed an entire family of refugees. Her eyes glance to the side as the ghosting of thermal patterns show her the ethereal present of Jack, sad jack he dosnt hide his expressions anymore thinking no one can see them.. see how sad he is. But she sees it.
      Jacks expression is quickly replaced however with mania as he gets that "Excited look" as he nods to Mandy... One can almost hear the crowd go 'Ought Oh"
      Jack ans Arthur begin laying out there plan to Mandy while Brian is gone on Barbra Walters they are going to raid No Mans land... After a bit of grilling Mandy comes to realize that jack and Arther planning together is just about as a dangerous a thing as you can get as there lack of Plan takes shape before her... They invite Mandy but she declines. It is decide it will be better if she knows where they are and can play backup if needs be...
      Arther releases his time effect as he and Jack go racing off... The team members hand continues down toward mandys as he continues to cheer "High Fives!!!" its going to be a very long night.
  • issue # 27:5 : "Down the Rabbit Hole" , March 2nd, 2006.
    • PREVIEW: Two dogs.
      One trained for attack, the other... GODLIKE.
      A full compliment of military strength only a call away.
      Sixteen Godlike power signatures within 60 feet.
      And Jack Bennett-Kennedy and his friend Arthur Redford stand alone!
      Stand straight true-believers!!
      In this issue - critical decisions that effect all Godlike! Brian Jaffe's face-off in front of the world turns into a pressure cooker, as Mandy Smith discovers more than she may want to know about Contact.
