Beyond Awesome: Blue Light Special

Blue Light Special 
Superhero Setting.

Background
There are thousands camping in the Colorado Rockies, and thousands of others passing through when a huge burst of energy lights the sky over the Rockies bathing the region in Blue Cherenkov Radiation.  While emergency personnel hurry to provide aid, only a few survivors emerge from the disaster zone. Media desperatly broadcast knowledge of the disaster to every corner of the world but the world hasnt seen something like this since June 30, 1908 when the sky over Tunguska, Russia erupted with a blue glow before an explosion obliterated the region.

Amongst the diverse populace of civilians, vigilantees, law enforcement and millitary agencies are the Special Operations Directorate.

Special Operations Directorate
This top secret government Agency was first on the ground in the Aftermath. They took samples and survivors and were gone before emergency services had even arrived. Their Director is literally a blue light alien. Director Blue as she is now known was travelling at FTL in a string between colony worlds when the earth got in the way back in Tunguska, 1908. Realizing she would not get home any time soon, Blue began investigating the local life forms. Establishing an Agency that would begin pulling together the necessary resources to create an FTL connection and go home.

All SOD Agents have special Blue Aura Yoga Training which has imparted to them an enhanced enlightenment and combat edge.
