SO WHILE HOME TEAM WAS AWAY

[commentboxtroll]

Hey Exsilium!

This post is about spaceships and you!

Actually, more like negotiations FOR spaceships and you, because we don't get to keep the spaceship. I'm sure you're wondering "but where the hell did a spaceship come from", well, the crew that went out on a trip to visit the UE recently will be finding one in a little research outpost near their southern border very soon. Once they've taken off like bandits with that, they'll be contacting the Initiative to do a little bargaining.

That means they're going to try and wrestle a few promises and agreements and such out of them before turning it over (sorry, we don't get to keep it). We do have a rough list of what to include in the negotiations so far, but we definitely want the rest of the playerbase to have some say, too!

So if there's anything you'd like to see included on the demands the Initiative will be receiving in return for the ship, let us know here. If you have any questions, feel free to ask those here as well.

Please keep in mind that this is, for the most part, for serious suggestions only. Also keep in mind that just because we include something, does not mean we will get it. What we do and don't get is left up to the mods.

List so far:

- More access to technology.
- More intel sharing and better cohesion for forays beyond Exsilium.
- Please send someone to find our lost assassin, we kind of stole a spaceship and we can't get him.
- Also Bariyan's boat (WE'RE SORRY, BARIYAN, BUT IT IS SAFE?!)
- More transparency.
- Access to any database with the information the Initiative ( and Transports ) have learned about the UE.
- Give warning ahead of time about upcoming missions or ideas, and stop playing things so close to the vest.
- More deets on who is who in the Initiative.
- More aid given to the overall city community in general (schools, grocery store, more comprehensive emergency support services, etc?)
- The mechanically minded of the transports get a chance to look over the spaceship as well.
- Also suggesting that the Initiative look to transports for help handling/fixing/upgrading it.
- Transports want to go for a ride in the cool new toy sometime.
- acknowledge our noncombatants, please. Perhaps even designate a squadron of support personnel that they promise not to force to fight. Medical, mechanical, other support personnel, children-- the Initiative needs to recognize that some of us are noncombatants

There will be an open network post sometime after May 1st pertaining to all of this, so there'll be a chance to give suggestions (even silly ones) and ask about all of this IC as well.

And I thiiiink that about covers it!

AS A NOTE:

Medusa will be using this opportunity to create a closer working relationship with the Initiative along the lines of transparency/warning for future missions (so that's one thing everyone is sure to get, thank you mods) in order to get herself a sliver of whatever passes for power in this place. If you'd like your character to be involved with this, please let me know!

If Raiden learns about this, he'd like to be involved.

He doesn't want any kind of authority, he really just wants answers. He's heard quite a bit about the AI at this point and wants to know just how much power it has. Raiden hates military AIs with the burning, white-hot passion of a thousand suns because his homeworld was secretly run by them.

[gamora]

That should definitely be something we can work in/ask about, so he's absolutely welcome to get involved.

[fantasticforcefields]

YO.

[gamora]

EXCELLENT

[payback]

late but Rin would at least be interested in sitting in on this!

[gamora]

they'll be doing an introductory post on sunday maybe if rin wants to show further interest in keeping tabs on them!

Nothing useful here

[marked_for_death]

/she simply gives the look about finding that lost assassin 8|

[commentboxtroll]

well there's a rendezvous point so he's not really lost.....

[commentboxtroll]

oh who are we kidding. doomed. DOOMED.

[marked_for_death]

You better get onto informing her quickly, Caesar~ you wouldn't want her paying you a special visit xD

[chosenfake]

I don't know if this is included under 'transparency', but Luke would like to know who exactly is divvying out the missions, calling the shots, etc. The fact they only have the AI to go through doesn't comfort him very much if at all.

He's also going to suggest more effort be put into the city itself, like schools and A REAL SUPERMARKET and more housing for the natives. But that doesn't really benefit the Transports, so feel free to shoot him down.

Added.

There's certainly a number of Transports who do think about and try to help the Exile population out, actually, so that doesn't seem too far-fetched at all.

what's a spaceship

[commentboxtroll]

what's ur face

[velveteened]

devastatingly handsome ;)

[commentboxtroll]

sorry bro you need to look older than ten to be that

[motherofnemesis]

Max wants to get to touch the spaceship.

preferably a lot. But yeah she strongly advocates that the mechanically minded of the transports get a chance to look over the spaceship as well.

Roslyn throws her weight behind schools/better community care for exiles and transports, particularly the kids.

[speakveryclearly]

Roslyn why this

What is Earth school

It doesn't sound good

[commentboxtroll]

Added. Seeing how the Transport population probably has more space-people in it, better make sure the Initiative doesn't hit a wrong button.

[neveraskedforthis]

hahaha oh boy
