Operation: Roll Out

[initiates]

With all the Genetics and Cloning Missions coming to a head, the Transports face one final obstacle. One final hurdle. One final foe.



Your objective is simple: go forth and do. Collect information, good will, money, food, terrible life choices, all of it's as your character decides.

The why of being here is simple. There's a big Genetics and Cloning Technology Convention being held by the best and brightest corporations within the United Earth. Here is where decisions will be made or broken, and here is where key information on the origins of the UE AI and the UE itself will be found.

Anyone who attends the "Historical Relevance of Progress and Technological Achievement Within Our Great Nation" panel will gain information on the beginnings of the United Earth, and the United Earth Artificial Intelligence. However, there is a whole conference to disrupt or blackmail or otherwise pull strings within, and beyond the conference?

Vegas, baby!

Everything people have said about Las Vegas in modern times is present in a big way. Major shows, lights that keep it almost day-bright for the whole of the Neo Las Vegas stretch, themed hotels, carnival rides, indoor canals, interactive historical recreation environments, and, of course, lots and lots of gambling. Most is done with electronic casino debit cards, which are provided in gift bags handed out to those attending the Conference. This city still never sleeps, and people are more inclined to be loose lipped and handsy happy cuddlebugs and possibly dragging you down to an alter for a cheap wedding done by a Cleopatra look-alike. (No judging!)

Player Characters will arrive within the laundry facility of the Nuclear Hotel and Casino. Built to resemble a large nuclear reactor, it's next-door to the convention facility and host to the largest number of attending members. They have nightly shows of reaction meltdowns because they're just tasteful like that, but the hotel as a whole has no actual nuclear energy in use.

You have from January 31st to February 4th to achieve your objective, Transports. What you do lies within your own power...

... But it'd be nice if you did manage to change the course of history while you're at it all.

On plurk this mission was called "mandatory", so my question is... how is this being enforced IC? Will it be similar to old mandatory missions where dissenters are taken in by means of their tablets? What advance warning if any will be given, and by whom?

[initiates]

Activation of the Transport Pad can forcibly summon all those who have been brought into this reality to and from any given location (as has been used before in the past). Advanced warning should have come from the AI and those working on the Transport pad in the week coming up to this point, but it's been known for even longer that there would be a mission to tie up the rest of the loose ends relating to the missions run to control and guide genetic manipulation and cloning efforts in the history of this world.

A few of these activities seem too mature for younger characters. What is there that's more age-appropriate for children to do? Is there an age limit to attend panel discussions / would anyone even hear their questions?

[thebutt]

There is no age limit on the panel discussion, but in terms of what there is to do for younger children — it's basically like the real Vegas. There isn't much, but there's still things like parks, movie theaters, arcades, and other such activities once you get out of the bulk of the casinos.

Because I'm kind of really dumb and impulsive and forgot to ask before posting around...

Are newcomers still allowed to tag this or do we wait for the next event? I asked because I kinda assumed we were allowed to but I was informed that they actually appear after the event, so I just wanted to make sure. I deleted my comments anyway just in case it's the latter, though really sorry for the trouble that might've caused.

[thebutt]

Technically they'd appear after the event has started, but since there's no official "transporter wave" this round, rather just an irregular trickle of people, we can definitely fudge it and say they came in in time to go along. Tag away!

Thanks! That's all I needed to hear.
