<strong>Plot Overview</strong><br/><br/><em>There have always been people with power. From the legendary heros of old who could lift mountains, banish demons or communicate with birds, to the more modern slew of telepaths, savants and supersoldiers. But they have always been rare figures, spoken only in myth, paranoid suspicions and stories that happened to a friend-of-a-friend involving an encounter with one of these metahumans. Even in the billions of humanity, these people have never risen above a population of 70 members scattered across the world.<br/><br/>Until now.<br/><br/>It all started when a green sphere, constructed of technology far beyond human creation, was discovered off the coast of Hawaii. The government quickly seized the device, and transferred it to their secret facility in Delta, Vermont for study. Examinations of the machine revealed that it mutated every living thing around it. As the research team began to cut into the machine for more information, the device reacted violently. It unleashed a pulse of green energy across Delta, mutating every living thing. Where once the metahuman population was in the double digits, there are now hundreds.<br/><br/>Naturally, this won't do. A day later the government realised that something went wrong, and carpet-bombed the town. Afterwards, they locked it down and captured or killed all surviving mutants in the town.<br/><br/>But in the day between the pulse and the assault by the government, many mutants escaped into the country. Most fled to Burlington, a much larger city for medical attention, but found government agents waiting for them. They gathered together and fled underground, constructing a basic complex deep in the earth.<br/><br/>As the mutants struggled to survive and figure out went wrong, rumors began to spread. There were whispers that the device that changed the townsfolk has been moved somewhere in the city above. A group of mutants gathered together to investigate the rumors, calling themselves Diggers. Each one has different motivations, but all seek the same goal; the truth behind their transformation.</em>
