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!
psychopath: no (awwwwwww)

I'M SORRY but Jack will, uh, in order to help transports (i.e., trying to find just two people), he will be sacrificing natives-- like, discreetly locking natives into their hospital rooms, taking their supplies, and such.

He may actually go as far as intentionally trapping sick people, so if you want your character to come across him doing so, just hit me up!

oh my god LMAO SIR


If Huntress saw this happening she'd probably Not React Well, would that be a thing you'd be up for or would you rather he get away with these shenanigans?
psychopath: i have it all under control. (don't worry)

[personal profile] psychopath 2013-06-16 03:17 pm (UTC)(link)
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?

[personal profile] gevurah 2013-06-16 09:05 pm (UTC)(link)
Make that two vigilantes suspicious then! Jack is locking people in the rooms in the log, right? How would he talk his way out of that one? Not that I think that during all the chaos Batwoman can do much for the time being, but likely as Huntress will, Batwoman won't React Well either.
psychopath: look at my fucking eyelashes (maybelline commercial)

[personal profile] psychopath 2013-06-17 02:27 am (UTC)(link)
Locking rooms would be a tough cookie for him to wiggle out of, how about the disconnecting life support thing? He'll explain that he'd be trying to move the patient but wouldn't know that no, you're not supposed to do that without having some sort of super speed or power?

She and Huntress can come across a person or two locked in their rooms after they meet Jack, it's up to them if they chalk it up to him being dumb or him being sociopathic.

Would he be moving people or making it seem like it? Because if was just disconnecting stuff and walking away Kate would simply not believe him at all. WELL NOT AT ALL but more like what exactly are you trying to do... sorry wording there makes it too uh, infomoddy and I don't mean that!

The latter works, though. She would be eternally suspicious of him. If anything she may just tell him to beat it since he's not helping because she has no time to do much about people doing potentially illegal things during the bombings.

[personal profile] psychopath 2013-06-17 03:54 am (UTC)(link)
Oh yeah once caught he'd be all like YEAH I WAS TRYING TO MOVE THEM. Additionally his weapon allows him to stop time, so he'll play that up, they won't go into cardiac arrest immediately right YOU HAVE TO BELIEVE HIM OK or he'll shoot you in the face. Um.

Suspicion is great! Sideeye him forever :

I think we could work something out!

As the Batlady said, I think the locking rooms would be tough, but if they didn't catch him at that and somehow it could be chalked up to him being ignorant and not knowing what he was doing in trying to "help" move patients, that could fly. She's probably give him a shit time and tell him to go to the catacombs and NOT KILL PEOPLE WITH YOUR IGNORANCE DEAR GOD

We can always brainstorm a bit and see what happens, I am happy for Jack to avoid running into them if it'd wind up being tricky to juggle it.
psychopath: (her whisper is the lucifer)

[personal profile] psychopath 2013-06-17 02:40 am (UTC)(link)
I'm cool with Huntress yelling at him and probably giving him the stink eye for the next... year or so haha! Jack's home world is pre-Victorian so he can try and go the 'I've never seen these machines before' route.

How about she catch him messing with the drips, yell at him to get his ass to the catacombs and stop trying to 'help', but find an uncapped syringe of air somewhere on the floor when she and the others do try to move that patient after Jack has run off? That's one way that Jack is trying to induce heart attacks.

But yeah if it's too finicky Huntress can just yell at him lol.
crossbearing: (super fucking lame ugh americans)

[personal profile] crossbearing 2013-06-18 01:32 am (UTC)(link)
That sounds awesome! And a potential set up for plotty things later if we ever want to play with that :Db

Do you have a thread for Jack where Batwoman and Huntress can go LOOM at him with their collective fabulous/terrifying, or would you like me to set up a thing?

I AM ACTUALLY SUPER EXCITED FOR THIS JSYK

/steeples fingers
Aww c'mon you lovely ladies, Jack is harmless, look at him, it's not like he maybe kind of killed an entire city or is actively trying to destroy his own world or is just batshit insane or anything, gosh.

Jack has a hospital thread here! Please be gentle >:
