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!

aw yeah
misplacedxsheath: (Hmmm...I'll consider it.)

[personal profile] misplacedxsheath 2013-06-16 04:02 am (UTC)(link)
Would it be possible for characters with long-range attacks to detonate some of the bombs before they hit the ground? Margulis has a pretty solid range on his fireballs and lightning bolts.
misplacedxsheath: (Now what?)

Well...falling shrapnel is better than a bomb blowing up in your face? Yeah, he's coming home bloody.

EXPLOSIONS!!

so Axel's a firebender. and he owes Riku a favor. so i was thinking whatever clinic or area Riku's laid up in right now could get one of those handy dandy explosion-type bombs. so Axel can go and get his sorry ass out of there. cuz he can make those flames move, bitch, get out the way.

anybody else want in? Axel might look scary (or ridiculous--the hell are those tattoos anyway?), but he'd be pretty hard pressed to just bail and leave someone behind if they obviously needed help getting out. if you're one of his friends, you can bet your sick behind he'll sack-o-potatoes you and drag you out of the flaming rubble like Mr. Incredible.





only much much skinnier.

how long would effects like temporary blindness etc last?
blahblahblah: (Hold on a second.)

[personal profile] blahblahblah 2013-06-16 04:07 am (UTC)(link)
Maybe I'm just forgetting something from an FAQ somewhere, but if a character is afflicted with something like blindness from the bombs, is that permanent permanent, or will it fade if a character dies and is resurrected?
fe_male: and slightly offended. that's my job (no: i will always make you feel special)

[personal profile] fe_male 2013-06-16 04:07 am (UTC)(link)

if any characters have shielding capabilities, how effective will they be against the bombings in the hospital?

What would happen if one were to kill one of the natives in the aftermath? Or more, because Kagura's that kind of girl.

Are characters able/allowed to discern the hidden message in the United Earth's message?

In regards to the cloaked bombers, would they be hidden from things like Celena's true sight?

In regards to the bombs will they be set off by the smallest movement or would it be allowable for them to be 'caught'/redirected telekinetically off course?
