PLOT SIGN-UPS: UEAI INVESTIGATORING

[initiates]

WELCOME TO UEAI INVESTIGATION.



Per this post, the chance to go on missions to start filling in the timeline gaps relating to the UE – the UEAI in particular – is now available. There are a number of locales you can select from and some information to use as prompts for your excursion – but please note, this IS NOT information the characters know beforehand! These time jumps are pretty blind ouside of date/location, so characters won’t know exactly what they’re getting into until they’re there!

This is a good time to mix up and get some interesting cr combinations going, or send some already well-working teams back to work! It’s up to you how many you want to work with at once, but we ask that there be no more than eight per location, especially since these are designed to be small, more sneaky-like jobs. Of course, sometimes it’s hard to be sneaky when you wind up in the middle of a war or killer party.



Your characters will be in control of how long they stay and how they gather the information. They will be given a diamond drive with an upload of AI that can be plugged in to computers and other such compatible electronics that you may find in order for it to begin downloading and deciphering the sequence of events that follow, which opens up more potential dates to tag. So each subsequent mission is prompted by the ones before them!

Those who sign up will receive their calls to get to the Transporter icly by Blue via their ic inboxes or it can be handwaved/oocly pinged if no inbox is available. You can choose when to go icly -- from now to January 23.

A post to collect what data and inventory of what damages may have been done (are YOU a bad enough dude to punch a president?) will go up and be linked here and those signed up will be pinged of its presence. ETA: Post is up and HERE.



Here’s how it will roll:

In this post, there will be a top-level comment to confirm signed-up teams. Use the rest of this post to plan/call out for partners, share powersets or other things you think might be useful for you! Let a rep from each agreed-upon team comment in the sign-ups, and you will be given the background information of a scenario you and your team will be going on! You won’t know what it is before you sign up, and remember, your characters won’t know at all until they get there!

You will also be given a list of potential findings that you can choose to succeed or fail in obtaining. Both failures AND successes will have a role in how things cascade later on, so don’t assume flawless victories is the way to go! But don’t assume they’re NOT, either.

These sign-ups will remain open up until the actual 23rd! Because we are a game that is all about backtagging. Our only request is at that point, you have a decision for what you succeed/fail to get in advance so we can advance.





BULLET POINT SUMMARY ACTION:

• There are a number of missions available to help AI fill in the timeline
• Characters will NOT know what they’re diving into until they get there, but PLAYERS will know in advance!
• Groups should be no larger than 8
• One rep from each group should sign up in the comment (LINK)
• Characters will be contacted icly to report for their missions, but players can determine what ic date to go/how long they spend on mission
• A post to collect what successes/failures groups make will go up as things get underway

If you have any further questions, please ask in the question thread below!

THANK YOU AND GEAR UP

QUESTIONS

[initiates]

Go right here!

[controlledvariable]

Can each character only go on one mission or are they able to head off on a few?

[alightlost]

Anyone want to take Sailor Star Fighter along please and thank you?

[braavado]

Since we hadn't figured anything else out yet in the ooc cr meme, would you want to use this to kick off their cr? :D

[oldsoldiersneverdie]

HEY SPEC OPS PEOPLE GET IN HERE Nate is all over this shit and will totally be organizing people he knows for these missions.

For new people, if your have a character who would ICly be interested in hanging around taking orders from this sort of hardcore grizzled old soldier-slash-X-Man, you are welcome too and I will totally figure out a way to get your character in with him.

[commentboxtroll]

official "yeah I'm in" note so I remember this, will be tagging Blue's post later.

LFG

[hornedomen]

Ico can fight. He's fast, strong, full of energy, and he's a quick learner. He's good for missions that involve problem-solving and physical tasks. He lacks technological knowledge and he'll probably need someone who could at least use the diamond drives.

Francœur is here for hilarious and possibly inspiring others to action. His weapon will make enemies dance. So if someone wants to see a group of Masked soldiers start to tango, waltz, or twerk, Francœur is your bug.

He'll also need protection, so if anyone wants to play that out, he is there for pitiful sadfaces and helpless chirping. Other strengths include getting the hell out of places fast by jumping. Weaknesses are everything that involves fighting.

[braavado]

I wanted more threads with Ico so...maybe we can work something out for the endgame?

Looking for party members!

[pactfulfilled]

Asbel's an elemental swordsman with negotiation skills who can play team leader or take on a secondary role (if someone else wants to take charge, that's fine!). His tactical abilities are okay, but he has no skills with technology and can only heal himself (and not much at that don't rely on him to prevent a KO).

As such, I'd like to put together a grab bag group that includes at least one healer/medic, a few people who are good with computers and gadgetry, someone who's skilled in sneaking and gaining information, and whatever other wonderful folks you'd be willing to toss my way.

If anyone's interested, comment here or send me a PM or PP at circadia. (You do not have to have previous CR with Asbel, he is cool teaming up with strangers, but we can handwave or thread a meeting out if you wish!)

Please and thanks.

[devotedtothecore]

Hi! Is it too late to add +1 gunner-engineer to Asbel's party, or is it pretty fully up? I meant to comment earlier but then Life Happened...

LFG!

[have_hat_will_travel]

Pidonus is a capable bard who can enhance combat parties in various ways - but she's also got some high-powered charm and magical-suggestion capabilities that can make getting around people problems much easier.

If you'd like her help, PM this journal or PP at NekoIncardine. Previous CR optional!

Raiden is a super strong, super fast cyborg ninja with the problem solving skills of an angry five-year-old. He has passionate feelings about AIs so whoever he works with will have to be patient with him thinking more with his robo-heart than with his head. He has the potential to be incredibly violent.

[ventusaerius]

in which I resist the urge to have Raiden work with Heat or Harpuia because I HEARD YOU HAVE FEELINGS ABOUT AIS?? wow wait no this is perfect

Would you like to be in a group with the angry AI(?) or the calmer but still slightly asshole-ish robot? We can discuss robot/human ethics with our swords and fists.

Oh, and complete a mission maybe. '-'b I'm sorry

[lucency]

BELLE would be more than happy to handle this shit, honestly. she'd come in more handy as a diplomat than a fighter, but would not hesitate to get in on that, if she needed to. she's smart. she reads a lot. someone take her along please.

JULIA is - idk i just want her to fuck up a mission, honestly, that's what she's here for. barring that, if you need someone to play mind games with someone else on a mission? or? something? do you just want someone drunk and shouty to come along with you? hello, is it me you're looking for?

get at me at audreyhorne if interested!!

[moonlitlove]

...Usagi could attempt to be Belle's bodyguard?

I know I've been fail at threads before, but with a solid action plan I could probably do something.

[undealt]

GOLD just wants to not sit on his ass anymore, so he'll be all over this shit. He's a 300-year-old sorcerer with awesome manipulation diplomacy skills and a shitton of magic- like seriously. A shitton. HOWEVER, the downside is him using magic may fuck up the mission somehow because magic prices, so if you're looking for a mission to either fail, succeed but with MASSIVE CONSEQUENCES, or turn into a massive clusterfuck that requires lots of quick thinking and TEAMWORK to get out of, Gold's your guy.

He's also a pretty shitty team player, so HAHAHAHAhahaha good luck with that. May also do something really shady if cornered that will upset his girlfriend if she hears about it. WE DON'T KNOW.
