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

Re: FINALIZED GROUP SIGN-UPS
MISSION DATE 2704: PLAYING POLITICAL CHARADES
The building you’ve landed in seems to be a small town America church, currently set up as a voting area for an election of some kind. There aren’t many people around, and both the volunteers running it and the few people voting seem tight lipped and nervous. The voting booths are high tech and require finger print and iris scans from everyone voting as well as a presentation of ID to the volunteers.
A little bit of looking around will determine that this is an election of city officials for the town - the mayor, the city council, and so forth. It’s supposed to be an election year for more national levels of power too, but that part of things seems to have gone defunct now that the UE is a Thing. Perhaps that’s why people seem so nervous?
That’s up to you to find out.
POSSIBLE DATA-GATHERING TARGETS
• While you can’t actually vote in the booths due to the security measures, they aren’t useless. If you can manage to duck or dupe your way past the volunteers and secure a few minutes in one you might be able to download some valuable information from them. Though they’re a closed network, you never know what’s going to be in them.
• Talking to the volunteers or those voting could net you some information. While they’re tightlipped they’ve got a lot to say if you can get them willing to talk.
• If you’re particularly daring, the volunteer’s running the voting center are checking people’s ID’s off of a central database of some kind that’s connected to the rest of the UE’s networks. Managing to download information from here would prove highly useful. But be careful! Everything is on high alert, and as soon as the volunteer’s press any kind of panic button you’ll have at most three minutes before highly armed security forces arrive.
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!

With the volunteers and voters, is it possible to skim information via telepathy whether while observing or while talking to them?

Re: MISSION DATE 2704: PLAYING POLITICAL CHARADES
To clarify-What if Raiden attempted to upload AI into the UE network instead of using it strictly to download things to start fussing with stuff from within.
It's close to the way he took out the AIs back home so it's something he'd think to try.
