Today's question of the day is Oh no! Pydro has been kidnapped by some villain and can't post today's QotD, who was it and how did you deduce this?

 

It was Silverleaf! I managed to deduce this from their villainous laughter and boastful admitance of the crime.

You're unlucky? Huh. I thought you'd been lucky to survive your antics with so few incidents.

I think La Capitan has noticed a curious resemblance between Pydro and Seige-Breaker and kidnapped him to see if he is a clone, alternate reality version,  fractured aspect, future incarnation, twins separated at birth or if it's just really freaky!

I have come to this conclusion because it was talk like a pirate day very recently, though linear time means nothing to La Capitan.

First, new rule! If I don't post a question by 12:00 PM Central on any day, anyone else can. Hooray!

New question!

You are looking through the high school yearbooks of the heroes and villains of SotM. Pick five characters, how does the yearbook finish this sentence, "Most likely to...".

New day, new question!

The Sentinels' universe is very story driven (hell, it was literally built from stories Christopher and Adam concocted). What are the titles of some of the stories/books sentinel characters would write?

And a new question

Oh no! Pydro has been delayed while getting to his computer at work and can't post today's QotD, what exciting new excuse will he give that would be ridiculous in our universe but entirely plausible in a Sentinels one?

I had to bury my future self who traveled back to stop my evil twin from killing me and taking my place, apparently I'm going to invent something so important that all the world leaders want to meet me and my evil twin would have used that to replace them with clones and secretly ruled the world, that's why I'm 5 minutes late to your stupid meeting.

 

Also I wont be around to post a new question today or tomorrow, I have to travel to the future to save Craig from Paul (whose cybernetic implants run amok when he gets a virus ... I apologise about wrecking your forklift in advance).

He fell through a random time rift just as he was about to sit down at his computer and ended up in the Final Wasteland. He was assisted by Con to get back to his own time but La Capitan intercepted him as he was falling back through time and he ended up imprisoned on her ship for a while, before she was accosted by the Sentinels and in the ensuing chaos he managed to escape, ending up somewhere else. He proceeded to have a whole bunch of adventures throughout different time periods and locations, lasting (at least) several months of his life, then finally managed to get dropped off in his own time period by Chrono Ranger, right in front of his computer. At which point, as it was several months ago for him, he couldn't remember what it was he was going to do so went off and did something else instead.

New day, new question! However, please keep answering the old ones (that was fun).

On Imbued Vitality, we get to see what one of the hero's equipment would say and do if it came alive. What would another piece of a hero's equipment say and do?

A little late, but new question!

 

Haka is teaching some kids when a villain starts attacking. Not to lose an oppurtunity, he continues teaching using the action as a visual aid. Which villain is attacking, and what is Haka teaching?

Uh, oh! It's Freaky Friday, and all of the SotM characters are switching bodies. What happens when one character finds themselves in someone else's body?

All of the Freedom Five swith bodies:

Legacy ends up with Wraith's body, He immediatly tries and takes flight and fails miserably, falling on the ground with a THUD

Wraith ends up in Absolute Zero's body, and immediatley ends up with a really bad case of the shivers, trying to leave the cryo chamber she feels nothing but an overwhelming pain, as if somebody set her on fire. She instead sits in the chamber, and thinks about how she could modify the suit to shoot projectiles

Abs. Zero ends up in Bunker's body. The first thing he noticed was that his skin did not feel like dry Ice. Not being a stranger, he's fairly used to the mechanical exoskeleton. But it's much more advanced than his suit. As he tries to get used to operating it, he accidentally blows a hole in the side of the wall.

Bunker ends up in Tachyon's body, but isn't used to being that fast, and immediatley crashes into some lab equipment. After a while of getting used to the speediness, he tries to continue her research, but it didn't make too much sense to him

Finally Tachyon ends up in Legacy's body. Knowing what kind of odd stuff he can do, curiosity gets the best of her, she goes to her secondary lab and performs some self experiments, trying her best to figure out exactly what part of his genetics gives him all those powers.
