Epidemic Exsilium: Quarantine

As of now, the United Earth has sent a message interrupting all available devices found on the island of Exsilium. The Initiative AI has allowed this message to display, while tracking the point of origin. (Edit: Now with 200% more game-wide log!)

With the United Earth stepping in directly, it can't be good news, and if any of you are thinking that: you're right.

In three days from now, on June 18th, the United Earth will start bombing the habitable areas of Exsilium. Their main focuses will begin on the Hospitals and the Hold. Those who were around in October of 2012 may remember a similar tactic being used; these bombs will fall every one to two hours for two days straight. Not all of the bombs being dropped are explosives. Some will be gas bombs, and upon detonation, will flood the immediate area with gasses that attack the eyes, nose, and throats of victims. Others will cause temporary paralysis. Yet others cause temporary blindness, or permanent, with enough exposure.

For people already having difficulty breathing, this may be the death toll ringing.

Bombing will abruptly end with an all clear signal from the Hold on the 20th of June. In the aftermath, the Initiative and the Transports will find the surviving natives have increased hostilities toward them as a whole. The willing blindness the natives indulge in in order to look the other way with regards to the Initiative and their Transports will have been pulled back into their line of vision. Those who look to obviously be a Transport, i.e. inhuman, richly dressed, anything starkly different, will be especially side-eyed and maltreated.

Some natives will resort to outright violence, but by and large, the natives will be surly, unwilling to work with player characters and Initiative NPCs, and only tolerating them for efforts made in helping renovate the city and heal the injured in the aftermath, and a short term memory of the Initiative Hospital assisting the ill during this epidemic. They want your money, but not your lingering presence, and they're not so sure even your money's worth it right now.

It will be critical to continue to help administer antibiotic cures and to offer assistance in rebuilding and clearing up the city in order to garner any good will from the natives. Even the Initiative will have to consider the majority as they also look for a way to get the Transports a functioning, safe retreat. (More on that later.)

Enjoy the rest of your June, Exsilium. It's going to be the bomb!

Hmm, would it be possible for her to come across him in such a way that he can still deny/derp his way out of it, but would leave Huntress permanently suspicious of him? Like- she can catch him unhooking IV drips, but can he play the ignorance card and be all surprised that no, you can't take patients off that without killing them?
psychopath: aww yeah (chicks dig me)

dropping this off before bed, uh--

Shion is...pretty much useless above ground and will probably be spending her time helping care for the sickly in the catacombs. Might even try to get someone still aboveground to get some supplies-- blankets and so forth (considering the possible damp).

Aradia could help with redirecting the bombs, too - so just to clarify, is "impact" strictly defined as "actually running into something else" as opposed to "a sudden deceleration or stop"? I seem to recall that modern bombs can use both of those as trigger conditions.

obligatory plotting post

Caesar will be... around? In the catacombs! He's finally a bit too sick to do anything useful, not that he could do much against bombs from the sky anyway (besides organize... things... and people?!! idk, maybe he can still do that as long as he doesn't have to move :T)

meanwhile, Mallory will be nursing whatever injuries she gained from the Nightcap (because she sure as hell wouldn't go to a hospital i guess) and generally not wanting to deal with people, though she'll be lurking around the catacombs nearby anyway. Everyone's already scared, so she won't be needing to creep on people to get her fear fix.

Sure! Billy's supplies are getting destroyed in the bombing, but he saved copies of all his blueprints on the tablet.

True Sight would work! Since she detects energy, and these things use lots of that, she'll be able to mark and tag those at a reasonable cost to her own magic ability.

It would be any sudden deceleration or stop, not just a direct impact, that is correct. Hence redirecting them elsewhere will prevent them from exploding on contact, where-as going up to meet them and stop them or decelerate too quickly will cause them to explode.

Sweet. :| Sev knows Federation, Borg, and who knows what else tech like the back of her cyborg hand, so between the two of them they could make up some truly awesome tech.
