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 2976: GHOSTS OF CORPORATE PAST
This has got to be one of the fanciest-looking rooms you’ve been in for a long time, maybe ever. Very extreme business-chic with a heavy side of tech. Outside the wall-high windows, you’ll see a scene of dozens and dozens of glassy skyscrapers, all densely packed together and varying very little. Documentation/signage you can find gives you this building’s address somewhere called Financial City.
Move quickly -- cameras detected your presence in this private, executive suite and an alarm is humming.
You are on the 102nd floor of a 138-floor building...and every single floor looks exactly the same. Even more, it seems entirely vacant. Even as the alarm hums continuously, not a soul is in sight. Should you touch any of the windows, however, you’ll suffer a pretty hefty electric discharge! Should you try to leave doors at ground or roof level, the same will happen. On the horizon, drone planes are coming in, hailed by blinking lights on the roofs of the other scrapers.
There’s time to move, at least, so you can take to investigating all the workstations and cubes on the abandoned working floors. Problem is, every single computer you can plug AI into...has absolutely zero data on it! Set pieces. This is all just a massive display piece.
And that’s not all: The longer this goes on, with all the monotonous rooms and impenetrable exits, it’s very clear you’re in a very large cage.
Lingering for more than an hour and the drone planes will swoop in, hovering floor to floor to find and ping you with its sensors, triggering a lockdown of that floor. Steel panels over the windows and doors, sealing the entire floor up until 25 armed guards swarm in to capture or kill, if necessary.
POSSIBLE DATA-GATHERING TARGETS
• Various cubes, meeting rooms or exec suites will have documents lingering of project planning or data coordinating...whether these are accurate or just part of the pretend is unclear. These are able to be stolen or photos taken by your communicators.
• Utility rooms have access to circuit boards...and computer terminals! Snooping here will successfully get you to a place AI can plug into that actually has some substance. Be warned, though, the longer you keep AI plugged in, the faster security will swoop in on you, and you risk the power on the floor shutting down.
• Guards you subdue wear sophisticated computerized helmets, lined with neuro-circuitry. These can be stolen as well. Trying to get word out of the guards themselves, however, will prove useless. There’s something strange and glassy-eyed about them…
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!

Mostly.

1) Would they have any luck trying to leave by the roof? And/or how would explosives work on the sealed doors/windows, since Steph has some of those?
2) The post mentioned to collect what data people got, is that OOC or IC? And if it's the former, will there be another post going up where things can be logged out, or will we just do that ourselves?
no subject
2. The tally/collecting post is gonna be OOC, just kind of inventory for what things were hacked/taken and such. The missions proper can be done at any point, arranged by the groups themselves in whatever formats they like!
