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 2219: TO THE MOON AND BACK...AND TO THE MOON AGAIN
Your location is the moonbase just before going out of function (less than six months). The layout is exactly the same, but its functions are not! This is a live, albeit sparsely staffed facility. Mistaking you for support staff, you’ll be reminded that today is the day the gravity generators are disengaged and powercells removed, to be prepared to follow zero-G protocols.
Because your VR disguises only take care of your physical appearance, you won’t have the scan-chip access that you’ll see other staff members waving at door sensors to get in and out...fortunately, you’re in one of the main hallways, so you have plenty room to explore and perhaps pilfer one of your own.
People you talk to here will range from morose resignation to hot-under-the-collar cynicism, all pointing to the fact the joint committee of nations funding this base are now pulling back, dissolving, most because of seemingly petty political reasons. They talk about the potential advancement of food harvesting and human wellbeing through their isolated, sterilized research, and how this environment promotes unbiased scientific research. That hell, even their IS/AI systems are developed quicker than in Earthbound R&D, where lobbies and other stakeholders are breathing down your neck! At least here you can turn the screen off, they will joke.
The easiest way to get around unfettered is to push the role of janitorial or gofer. You could route data tablets or drives to other wings of the facility on behalf of another researcher (access codes/scan keys and everything!) or be granted access to clean areas by absent-minded staff members who know to get out of the way of the floor polisher.
POSSIBLE DATA-GATHERING TARGETS
• Three R&D branches with three different rooms housing their topic-specific data: Human wellness, Agriculture, and Information systems. Each of these rooms require level 3 security access, and each has a computer the AI diamond drive can plug into. A full data download of each will require 15 minutes – you can also choose to allow AI to use any one of those ports to effectively download the entire base’s data, but that will take close to 2 hours, and you risk being caught by security midway for how long you’re lingering (remember, there are security cameras here!).
• Talking to people. As mentioned above, they have a lot of feelings about what’s going on here.
• Private rooms. Some researchers, but not all, have their own data saved that isn’t on the main servers. Data drives, tablets...things that aren’t compatible with the diamond drive entry plug. These are items you can steal...if you can find them. A lot of these researchers sure are messy. Be careful not to get caught red-handed!
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!
