Scouting Group for Winter Wonderland
The results are in, and after a trip over to Random.Org the following 25 names have come out on top. Congratulations!
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!
Abbey BominableYou 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.

Related the diplomacy stuff above but
What are our characters offering to them? What do our characters want in return? Are we being open about the ability to time travel? Do we tell them about the Transporter?
Re: Related the diplomacy stuff above but
And yeeeeeeeah, kind of late but the way I figured it went with Caspian: he did make contact with the Initiative, he did tell them about the time travel, and the Transporter, he wasn't offering them full access, but in exchange for helping the Transports get settled back on earth, he was offering them some access to the tech AND the remaining members of the previous Initiative up on the moon base. He didn't say they were all basically refugees on the moon, just that the moonwas one of the places they were - basically implying that the Transports are doing this new Initiative a favor by offering to come down and work with them, not for them.
The basic idea was to let the Initiative think the Transport had a lot more power, and that this was going to be a collaborative effort between Transports and Initiative, not the Initiative calling the shots.
But I don't know if that makes a difference to the overall plot, so... yeah. *hands*
