What they are saying
Science may have given
us the GPS, teflon coating and the but it also opens the door to a
universe of nightmares, catastrophes and rogue phenomena ever ready
to spill out into the world. Most people remain in blissful
ignorance of the threats to reality which are routinely dispatched by
the three brilliant freelance scientists of Fate Inc. Most people
are ignorant, but the interwebs are abuzz with rumours as
supposition.
But really....
The three Kindler
sisters were once the wunderkind of the scientific community, gifted
in the fields of quantum physics, mathematical complexity and
evolutionary biology. Brought low by a plagiarism scandal
(engineered by the egregious Dr Buchner) they have found new careers
in the private sector as freelance scientists of the strange. A
mysterious benefactor has set them up with offices and laboratories
as 'Fate Inc', investigators of rogue science.
Mashup Abilities
Each of the Kindler
sisters is a brilliant scientist in her own right and possess
abilities are connected to the power of the Fates, as articulated
through scientific concepts of complexity, emergent order and chaotic
dynamics.
Sissy (Lachesis)
can measure and perceive the strands of causation and complexity,
tracing out different paths of destiny. This also makes her a deadly
martial artist and a terrifying driver. Her fields are mathematics
and software engineering.
CT (Clotho) can
spin physical forces such as gravity or magnetics. Her fields are
evolutionary biology and extreme medicine.
Po (Atropos)
possesses the power to cut or nullify forces, to pull the inertia our
of projectiles or the heat out of combustion. Her fields are quantum
physics, electronics and robotics.
Stories
Fate Inc face a variety
of weird menaces, terror scientists and incursions of the strange.
Their chief enemy, Dr Buchner, is also a mashup who personifies the
corrupt deity Cromm Cruach and hollow madness at the centre of order.
Dr Buchner corrupts other scientists, his solution to the so-called
'god theorem' turns regular geniuses into mad geniuses bent on
destruction.
