PLOT SIGN-UPS: UEAI INVESTIGATORING
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

MISSION DATE 2844: PEAS AND CARROTS AND ESPIONAGE
You’ve arrived! It’s vast, it’s sprawling, it’s…
The middle of nowhere.
Flat, empty lands stretch out as far as the eye can see in all directions, devoid of almost anything green and good. Those things that could have been green or good are withering or crunchy, dried out wastes. Not a tree in sight, not even a pleasant rock shaped like a bunny or anything…
Except those of you with keen eyes or ears could catch glimpse or sound of a train breaking up the scene, just a few miles shy of where you are. Unless you’ve got yourself super speed, you won’t be catching up to that train, but if you do get to the tracks, you’ll find a train buzzing by every hour or so. Perhaps you’ll hitch a ride? Or maybe just follow them on down to the glistening dome you’ve only just noticed miles along the way.
This is an isolated crop-growing and experimentation facility, where genetically altered food stables are grown in those temperature-controlled domes and stored in excess in towering silos. There green-house like lab conditions where researchers work on the next great green bean or superfruit.
POSSIBLE DATA-GATHERING TARGETS
• The trains. AI can be plugged into the engine car computer to download whatever could possibly be on there besides train routes...it might actually just be train routes. But you never know!
• Labs. Several labs for several kinds of projects, each with their own computers, all hooking up to a single database. If there’s anything more to growing sweet peas in isolation, AI could probably find out. Otherwise, you could at least walk away with some interesting recipe ideas…
• Director of Operations Computer. If you sneak into the administration office and get by guards and badge checks, you could get into the cushy DO office to snatch at some private files! Important people on important projects have to have important secrets or communications, right?
Soldier Blue will send you your target date to IC inboxes. If none is available, please consider the data sent as a handwaved action. You can choose when to ICly go, and report what outcomes you have once the Collection post is live!
If you have other questions, let me know!
