Gods R Us

Gods R Us is a canon written by Zahhak.

July 2015
Over the full moon of July 2nd, 2015, the Earth was bombarded by a meteorite storm composed of shards of an unknown metal. The storm lasted two days and the shards ranged in size from fingernail-sized to football-sized. The material was a dull gunmetal silver with an iridescent rainbow sheen. Most shards, however, ended up in the sea, stuck at the Earth-Moon Lagrange points, or falling across the dark side of the moon.

Within a day or two, people had started collecting the shards. Each shard was a fragment of an alien environment suit, endowed with impossible power, and collecting a single shard helps the bearer to find more shards. Those who construct full suits are effectively gods compared to those without any shards at all.
