Encounter 1: In California, Killer Frost and Parasite are
running amok in a S.T.A.R. Labs installation.
The GM should use the chart provided to keep track of
the time that the characters because their J.L.A. emer-

There will be no explanation or message. This is the only
warning that the automatic intruder system is able to
provide.
If Encounter 1 is ignored, the avoidable loss of human
life will result. No one will be awarded any Hero Points if
this happens.
As soon as the J .LA teleports to Novato, the Enforcers
