Welcome, Strontium 2011, to the fourth and final season of Pisay Heroes.
P-roes is the collection of fanfiction written between three authors (David Ples, Rebecca Yu, and Benedict Almirol) about ordinary people having extraordinary abilities. It is set in the Philippines, vaguely follows plots and concepts from the TV show Heroes, and stars classmates and friends (as well as some teachers) from Batch 2011.
This recap is designed to help you understand the events of this final season, Season of Reckoning, in relation to the previous three seasons. EITHER YOU READ THIS TWO PAGE SUMMARY OR YOU READ OVER THREE HUNDRED PAGES WORTH OF FANFICTION. :> Your choice.
_______________________________________________________________________
Garnet Heroes was based on Garnet 2011, and tells the story of the Company – an organization founded to monitor, protect, and in some cases control, people with abilities. The Company had its enemies of course, and in that season Micah Austria destroyed the headquarters. He was a major villain, and is now in a coma, so he isn’t appearing this season. Sorry Micah. :-j
Champions was based on Champaca 2011. In this season, the Company Boss (that’s me, David) sets out to rebuild and relocate. He reconnects with some of the old Company founders, and fights off a rebellion led by Iego. Also, a villain called The Collector (Andro Milla) was out stealing people’s powers and turning them into statues for his giant chessboard. In the end, the Company found a new base in The Collector’s headquarters and survived the rebellion; The Collector was subdued and his statues were returned to normal.
Season 3, Equinox, was written late in second year. This one stars random friends from the batch, such as Sean Fortuna and Miguel Matugas. In this season, the Company undergoes some leadership changes – David becomes a tree (my power is to control plants) and appoints Becca, Myrtle, and Iego as High Executives. A schizophrenic villainess who can control machines, Shaula, sets out to put a mass suicide into effect as a sacrifice for her demon talisman. Also, Mark Burdeos, a scientist, accidentally creates a bacteria that kills people with powers (the term is posthuman), so that has to be stopped too.
The season being written by Rebecca Yu for Cesium is unfinished, but it ties to our story. All you need to know is that people are going to become aware of people with powers, so when Sr starts, posthumans are no longer a secret.
________________________________________________________________________
Now, if you’re already bored, it might be hard to read P-roes. So practice reading =)) Now I have individual character summaries for people who’ve already appeared.
DAVID – He founded the Company and can control plants. His character is a lot bossier than the real me, but has about the same wit. :> At the end of Champions he turned into a tree, so you can expect him to come back in this season.
JI – He was a priest in Garnet Heroes, with the power of enhanced hearing. Like, he can hear your heartbeat or the sound of approaching rain. He accidentally eavesdropped on Dan and Enzo Marigomen, and was mostly on the run as a witness in danger. He came to the Company with Enzo in Equinox, and has been affiliated with them since, no longer preaching.
MICAH – He got mad at David for killing his daughter (it was necessary, she was dangerous okay) and vowed revenge on the Company. Which he got – he destroyed our HQ. But I put him in a coma. :> :> :> He’s out of it for now, so, sorry again Micah. :))
ANCER – Works as a teacher at Pisay Ilocos, which looks just like Pisay Main, but you know, it’s in Ilocos. XD He can paint the future, and has been a valuable resource for the Company in predicting and preventing disasters. He is a friend of Jethro.
JETHRO – a teenager studying at Pisay Ilocos; this season he is third year. Back in Champions he discovered he could absorb energy (electrical, mostly) and was enjoying the idea of being special. Until, you know, Andro the Collector tried to take his power. He ended up turning Duke into stone by accident, so Jethro becomes a hero on a rescue mission to find and save his friend. He has been “borrowed” to assist with the Company several times, and appears in the hypothetical what-would-happen-if-we-didn’t-save-the-world future episode as one of the few surviving rebels.
DOM – was a detective who could photoport (think like, Blues Clues, when they go into paintings). He helped solve the case of The Collector in Champions, and also briefly appeared in Equinox looking for a missing Sean Fortuna.
ELIHU – was a farmer who had his lands claimed by Andro Milla. He went to Andro’s island to get ownership back and helped defeat him. He was sadly murdered by Shaula in Equinox, because with his ability to control water, he might’ve been the only one who could stop the tsunami from happening.
REG – was an old acquaintance of the Company who was, to make explanations shorter, immortal. When the bacteria of Mark Burdeos spread however, she was infected, and the 400 or so that she had escaped rapidly caught up to her. She turned to dust.
ADRE – debuted in Equinox as a 50-something war veteran. There are two striking things about him – one, he lost an arm in a mission abroad, and two, he can turn his skin and bones into metal. He came back from abroad and tried to return to a normal life, but found that his son was dead (Stuart) and his wife had cheated on him. He went back to being a regular at the Company, under David’s wing again, supposedly. Except, if you were paying attention, I’m a tree now.
CLAUD – her story is different than the others, because it begins in the future. Her best friend Dani Rina commits suicide, so when she meets a time traveler (Isko), she asks him to send her back ten years. Her ability, body snatching, causes her to get trapped inside the body of fifteen year old Dani. She is trapped there until she finds her present-day body, so she spends the time trying to change Dani and make sure she is happier and better adjusted. They become friends (again, for the first time) and Dani helps Claud return to her own body.
PATTY – a teenager introduced in Jasmin, capable of turning her drawings into reality. AJ’s plan to take over the government hinged on her ability, as he planned to create an invincible army. Her parents were killed by AJ’s goons, and she has been under Company Custody ever since. She now studies in Pisay Ilocos.
CANDY – another orphan, she was found by AJ after she accidentally blinded her father with her ability – photo/lumokinesis (the ability to “bend” light). She was able to control her abilities under AJ’s guidance, while at the same time furthering AJ’s plan to take over the government. She reluctantly betrayed AJ after she realized that AJ’s plan was pointless. She also helped in stopping the dreaded tsunami scenario in Equinox, in exchange for her freedom. She is now on the loose somewhere, biding her time.

OUTING RESCHED???
Friday, March 05, 2010
This blog still has a little left in it. We're not done yet, here, people. /:)
congrats to everyone for making it through perio week. now, on to business.
we have to readjust our outing sched or work out an alternative plan, because apparently, MAY PASOK SA MARCH 15. :| Yeah. We have to go to pisay to meet with every subject teacher, pass everything, and fix our grades. This does not seem to be negotiable. The officer in me says we should go. (but the real person in me says boycott =)))
anyway. here are our options.
1. We do the school thing, and finish at around 5. Then we go to Bulacan and overnight. This means we only get the overnight. YOU MUST ASK YOUR PARENTS FOR PERMISSION TO OVERNIGHT. This is currently our most feasible option.
2. Go to school, have outing on Tuesday instead. We get the whole day, but Ma'am Kiel won't be there. In short, this isn't really an option. Plus, if we do this the whole day on tuesday, there's no more overnight, because photog has their thing on wed.
3. We can wait until 19 to have our outing (let photog pass first). it's a bit late already and a lot of people will have gone to the provinces by then. not so much an option.
4. Clearance week. but when? and we already booked the location. in fact, maam kiel and hannah and patty are there now checking it out.
REGARDLESS OF WHAT WE ARE TO DO, we have to wait for the March 15 sched to come out on monday. AND REGARDLESS, you must pay out all of your debts to the class funds. If we cough up the cash by the end of next week, then WE DON'T HAVE TO PAY ANYTHING FOR THE OUTING ANYMORE.
Last note. Prom DVDs are available. Check outside the caf for Mr. Elliot Kam if you ordered already. I'm not going to lie - ten people ordered but somehow only 9 payments made it. Somehow we lost 150 pesos. if we are to sort this out, all the people who ordered must go to Mr. Kam so we can figure it out.
COMMENTS PEOPLE. SUGGESTIONS. GO.

PHYSICS WORKSHEET (transcribed)
Saturday, February 27, 2010
hi guys. david here. challenge to self: transcribe physics worksheet into blog entry. :))
Formulae:
Stress = Force / Area
Units for Stress: Pa (pascal) or N/m^2
Strain = Change in Length / Original Length
Units for Strain: none
Area of a Cylinder or Rod = Pi x Diameter^2 divided by 4
Elastic Limit = maximum stress a body can take without deformation
Refer to "Stress = F/A"
Modulus of Elasticity = Stress / Strain
Units for Modulus: Pa
Young's Modulus = longitudinal stress / longitudinal strain
Use this for objects like rods and bars which are much longer than they are wide
Y = (F / A) / (change in L / L) or (FL)/(A x change in L)
Units: Pa
Shear Modulus = ratio of shearing stress (F/A) to shearing strain (theta, also distance/length), in other words, (F/A) divided by (d/l)
WORKSHEET QUESTIONS:
1.) A woman wearing high-heeled shoes is invited into a home in which the kitchen has vinyl floor covering. Why should the homeowner be worried?
Hint: Stress is calculated by (Force divided by Area)
2.) If the elastic limit of steel is 2.48 x 10^8 Pa, determine the minimum diameter a steel wire can have if it is to support a 70kg circus performer without its elastic limit being reached.
Hint: use Stress = F/A, then calculate for D using the formula above (area of steel rod)
3.) For safety in climbing, a mountaineer uses a nylon rope that is 50m long and 1.0cm in diameter. When supporting a 90 kg climber, the rope elongates 1.6 m. Find its Young's Modulus.
Hint: Solve for area using given diameter, then apply Y = (FL)/(A x change in L). Your answer is going to be a big number.
4.) The distortion of the Earth's crustal plates is an example of shear on a larger scale. (HAHAHA. Aliw naman ako.) A particular crustal rock has a shear modulus of 1.5 x 10^10 Pa. What shear stress is involved when a 10-km layer of this rock is sheared through a distance of 5.0 m?
Hint: Use Shearing modulus = Stress / (d/l)
Good luck, people :> Sana naintindihan niyo yung mga formula sa taas.
