You all have the dubious honor of scouting out the situation Earth-side, and reporting back what it is you find to the people up at the Moon Base. You leave 11/27 0300, arriving planetside at 0800. Gotta love that trip back down.

All those on the scouting mission will need to scavenge supplies beforehand from the Moon Base. They will be told about the temperatures, and as of tonight, the AI has successfully hacked some of the satellites in orbit around Earth to get good imagery of what the ground looks like. Based on heat signatures and taken images, the AI suspects they're dealing with snow, and smaller numbers of people living in scattered groups, centralized around one large, city-like group it plans to land the scouts.

Mission objectives are simple. Locate the Initiative and begin a dialog. It's suggested everyone make use of the holographic technology still maintained on the Moon Base in order to blend in with the locals. Be warned, the holographs don't hold up under actual touch, and they don't change what your footprints look like outside of immediate physical range.

Any and all non-humans will be met with fear, up to and including violence.

Be careful, and be on the lookout. This iteration of the Initiative works on the extreme keep their heads down side. Talk to everyone, and be as subtle as you can be. That's the best way to flush them out of hiding.

Plotting and questions invited below (questions to the questions thread only, please, to not be missed!). The game at large will go down to Earth the first week of December.

Edit: The Scouting log is now up here!

A pet penguin would be such an awesome gift, considering the weather and all.

Also way to make points, Caspian.

RAIDEN NO DON'T MAKE THIS WORSE sob we're all going to screw this up. But yeah! if that'd be a fun thing for you to do and the mods ok it, I think we could have fun with that!

and really hope that we manage to get ourselves some proper fasttalkers because why do we have so many people here who didn't put much into their diplomacy stats?

((I think it'd be a lot of fun if we could do something with getting the semi-criminal types to integrate themselves with the underworld for information purposes. Can we talk Dante into it with.... FRIENDSHIP???

No?

Come on!! Friendship is great. Christopher will be friends!!))

-Fails diplomacy check

And I am cool with it! I'm always up to shenanigans.

(I took Dante from the first game so he can be swayed by the power of FOOD. Or MONEY....or doing it on his own eventually because it's the right thing to do but sighing about it)

Yay!! Shenanigans are my favourite so this will be fun! Especially Even if it ends in failure.

(HEY WE CAN DO THIS Christopher is a fabulous baker and cook. ...Morals are harder to come by sorry.)

Caspian's good at hunting and fighting, if need be - he'll have both his sword and bow with him. He's also got diplomacy skills, and he's good at getting to know people and ask questions. He's had experience in scouting in cold terrains. No sciencey or extra abilities, but he's good at understanding things, so if you want to put him to work, he'll be able to handle the easier stuff.

Feel free to grab him for anything!

[personal profile] ready_to_bloom 2013-11-27 08:17 pm (UTC)(link)
Now he'll just have to work out how to get one, since they don't talk to him in this world.

Points! He definitely wants to score points!

Merrill you're Christopher's newbie Kanaya said he can have you she made a huge mistake

I MEAN. Er. As Christopher has been assigned Merrill, would you be amenable to Christopher, you know. Looking out for her. Giving her unsolicited advice. Hanging off of her shoulder. Generally being the nuisance he is, But in a very supportive way? if you want!!

1) How far away from civilization are they setting down?
2) For Transports who had to leave things behind - stuff still there, or no? (more specifically, Nate had a motorcycle he rebuilt out of parts that he left out on the edge of the ruins pre-nuking)
3) What sort of information would he be able to lift from the minds of ordinary citizens?

This is something I never knew I wanted but must have, now!

Are our characters building a camp down there, or will they be returning to the base when they need to?

ALSO Elmer is heading straight towards any locals he can find to chat their ear off. He'll try to act like he's from somewhere further off (but not TOO far). What can he learn from them? Can we get some general info to thread it out or will mods be tagging in for stuff like that? 8|a

Thanks all!

Rinth is going to work her way into town as a hunter looking to trade off dead stuff (possibly more for fur than for meat, but whatever), then take whatever she traded for and just... keep going deeper and deeper into the bigger city-ish places.

Mostly she'll be asking about power supplies like some backwater yokel. Would she turn up anything particularly useful? Would her questioning while being some unknown new person garner any attention? :|a
