Campaign 4: The Unleashed

potential in victoriaphysical science

Introduction to victoria

2

With Vexis' dreams of creating new life dashed, you turn to a battered Maurice Wilkins who introduces you to a man by the name of Dr. Edward Jenner. He claims he can use the Shrieker cell membrane and DNA to artificially create a virus that will only target Shrieker cells. "It is like creating a cold that only those dreadful beasts can catch!" Jenner exclaims. "All this

time I have worked to fight viruses, this is the first time I shall try my hand at creating one!"

All eyes turn to the sky as a bloated football-shaped craft slips into view. You marvel at the airship floats above you. Under the incredible air-bladder is a boat-like structure and there at the rail is an angry Necrift!

"Shipments of Vexis' creations are already in route to my master!" he shouts. "You've stopped nothing!" From under the ship drops several small containers that crack open on impact with the shore. Gas erupts from the containers as you and the others flee to the lab compound.

"Are there any other airships here?" you question, watching the madman escape to the south.

"Haber is heading for Victoria." Jenner assumes, "We've lost all contact with them for some time. The telegraph lines must have been destroyed to cut off communication between the continents." Jenner grabs your arm, "Newton was here. You just missed them. He spoke of their desires to unleash the potential energies stored in the universe. This must not be allowed to happen! It could destroy everything!"

"How do I get to Victoria?" "It is southeast of here. It is a land of enlightenment and science. The industrialized age is

in full swing. They have marvels that could only be dreamt of! That airship Haber is taking is just one of thousands of new pieces of technology! New energy drives unimaginable possibilities! You must not allow them to unleash the energies that remain hidden!"

3. I can create and use force diagrams / free body diagrams to compare the forces on an object.

4. I can compare an object’s direction and speed when its net force is zero and when its net force is greater than zero.

5. I can analyze and compare forces that oppose motion of an object.

There are different types of potential energy.6. I can explain that gravitational potential energy changes in a system as the masses or relative position(s) of objects are changed.

7. I can identify and compare gravitational, elastic, chemical, electrical, and magnetic potential energy.

8. I can, given specific materials, plan and implement an experiment to determine the relationship between the height/mass of a metal sphere and the amount of change it can make to sand held in a container below.

Some forces between objects act when the objects are in direct contact or when they are not touching.9. I can explain how two objects can exert forces on each other without touching.

10. I can describe energy conversions of generators versus motors.

11. I can compare the electric, magnetic, and gravitational fields.
