Chapter 2 OOC Information + Plotting

Chapter 2 Launch



Chapter 2 Event Log is up for your review. Please feel free to post there or your own logs for the event - whichever works best for you.

Chapter 2 Calendar / Timeline is available here for the expected timeline of the month.

Note that for the public broadcasts (noted in the above timeline), we'll be putting up the new posts as they get closer to real-time. As such, the first broadcast is available here.

To help you get started, here are some potential quick notes for things you could do with these prompts--but feel free to expand or come up with something entirely on your own!

Prompt Notes



The Nine

Delle Seyah Kendry has requested the RAC conduct an 'impartial' investigation to determine who is behind the attack on Land Derrish - after, of course, planting a difficult to find and subtle trail leading those investigators directly to her enemy's doorstep. Which team, or teams, is going to have the dubious honor of giving the Lady what she wants?

Other members of the Nine have also decided that they need their own verification, so this is an opportunity for characters that are members of the Nine to step in and either help or hinder Land Kendry's ambitions.


The Company

Mid-to-Upper level Company officials will be tasked with the duty to either clean house (someone had to have given information to the True Leithians for them to strike and acquire all those papers so quickly), assess loyalties within, or attempt to maintain order during Harvest week. The question through it all is, for you Company gals and guys, will you be the one interrogated - or the interrogator?

Maybe even both?

After the pandemic starts on Leith, however, priorities will shift a bit. Some will be needed to provide security around the quarantine zones while others will be needed to guard the medical teams as they struggle with a rapidly declining population across not just one moon, but two.


Westies

Party like it's 1999, and wake up with that New Year's psychotic break!


True Leithians

Thought they were exterminators this round, imprisoning and framing Westie scientist Zan Nikora for the pandemic.


Leithians

Will be falling to the pandemic in droves, once the initial incubation period has passed. Once the hospitals on Leith make the call, the moon will go into quarantine for all cities that have either been affected or have had commerce to. The only location on the moon that might be free of the stop-movement will be the Monastery.


Resistance

A lot to do for those already set to plot the Company's downfall! Coordinate with info brokers to find a new cell or contacts within the movement, Find new safe and storage houses, coordinate with Scarbacks to funnel in supplies and weaponry, seek out those Company employees that seem sympathetic to the Resistance's cause...


The RAC


Our first warrant posting is available here, with listings for both general warrants and plot specific ones, so glance them over, plot it out here, and then sign up there!


Major Plot Points


P43X - Bio Attack

The infection will spread in the following stages. Note that time frames provided are for a normal, plain-jane metabolism -- characters who are enhanced or augmented can expect to experience the stages at a different rate. The rate is up to you, whether it's faster or slower, as it will vary between individuals. Not all symptoms will be experienced by an individual and as they progress through the stages, some of their previous symptoms are likely to become exacerbated while others may disappear entirely.

Note that participation is optional; you can sidestep the infection itself as long as your character isn't in the direct line of exposure (Leithian bazaar, W2D6) and have them participate in the form of relief work, trying to escape the paranoid and manic NPCs (or PCs), and etc! This is a great opportunity to start messing with their memory regains in the form of fevered-delirium, although whether or not those regains are fully accurate is up to you -- they're ill, after all!

Additionally, since death is permanent here, we recommend leaving the brain death to NPCs.


StageTime (Days)Symptoms
0
(Incubation)
2-3Exposure without symptoms.
1
(Prodromal)
1-2Nonspecific symptoms begin to appear: fatigue, muscle pain, auditory hallucinations, mild fever, dizziness, fainting, difficulty breathing, loss of appetite.
2
(Acute)
3-4High fevers, multimodal hallucinations, delusions, paranoia, intense fatigue, mania, difficulty concentrating, neuropathic pain, coma, brain death.
3
(Convalescence)
2-3Symptoms begin to dissipate as the individual recovers, though the pathogen may remain present and put others at risk of infection.


A cure will be developed and disseminated through Company, RAC, and volunteer hands between W4D3-W4D5, halting the progression of whatever stage your character happens to be in during that time and putting them into Stage 3.


Emergency Meeting of the Nine

On the last day of the chapter, an emergency meeting will be called with the Nine to discuss recent events and their response. Note that the failure of the Seventh Generation Accords is a fixed plot point, so this month we'll be taking an OOC vote on the result and using IC actions to support either end in the narrative, while returning to the cooperative style plotting seen in Chapter 1 hereafter.

Please vote, OOC, on which scenario you would prefer to see with a +1 in either the abolish or delay threads here.


Scenario: Delay
The Council will vote to delay Claimant Day until the True Leithian and Resistance threat can be eradicated, auspiciously under the guise of system stability. As such, the system will retain relative stability while focusing its efforts on quashing both the Resistance and True Leithian terrorists during Chapter 3. Land Kendry will continue to manipulate the political arena within the Nine in order to amass support and ultimately strike down the Seventh Generation Accord at the beginning of Chapter 4.


Scenario: Abolish
The Council will vote to abolish the Accords immediately, citing the actions of Zan Nikora and the True Leithians as evidence of civil rebellion. Martial law will be imposed on Westerley and any disobedience will be met with immediate punishment at the hands of Company agents. The Resistance, still a fledgling organization, will rally support amongst the Westie population and launch its first true counterattack at Company forces, starting our faction war in Chapter 3.

I can tag into your pre-game log! It'll just be a set up of what he's up to, and she can do her thing lol as he goes thru his evening (and probably notices her somewhere along the way I'm sure)

[personal profile] shikomizue 2017-01-13 04:46 am (UTC)(link)
oooo yay!!! I'll contact Stein's player and see if they wanna have him and Takasugi know each other, but so far as Rhys goes I'd also love to work something out!

Adding in the whole setting Rhys up to get that name made for himself, that respect he's always deserved (or whatever makes him happiest to hear lol) would be awesome, as well! It echos things Takasugi has done in his canon, so this works out nicely ;u;b THANK YOU

So the resistance had a mole within the Company, and Rhys went to expose them, got caught up, and the situation appeared as if he was the mole, ad now the Resistance are protecting that sensitive information in exchange for him leaking things to them? Is that correct? I rephrased it to make sure I'm following ;u;

Are his hackmods beyond the legal limit? I peeked at the powers section in your app, and I assume as much, but I wanted to double check!

FINALLY LOL I'm sorry for 20 questions - what sort of name does Rhys want to make for himself? Does he want Company prestige? A higher influence within the Nine? Something else? :Dc

obvs i replied to that but HOW ABOUT GOING ON A KILLJOY MISSION have him get knee deep into a warrant that's too high level but hey DEEP END OF THE POOL!

[personal profile] tropism 2017-01-13 06:04 am (UTC)(link)

[personal profile] rhygret 2017-01-13 06:50 am (UTC)(link)
Sounds good!! Let me know C8

And yes, that's an accurate summary! Rhys is above the legal limit for hackmodding too at 35% yes so that's another thing they could have on like, has zero interest in helping the resistance otherwise so keeping stuff on him will be a good idea lmao so now he gets them supplies/intel in exchange for them not ratting him out.

AS FOR NAME he wants to be a distinguished member of the Nine if he can help it, but he will settle for Big Business or Noro tie th of the good variety! He really wants people to know him for him, and not just for being a Kendry

[personal profile] shikomizue 2017-01-13 07:46 am (UTC)(link)
Every little thing he gives them is another black mark on his record - the longer he works for them the more implicated he is RIP Rhys - but yes, they can have info re: his hackmodding as well!

So if they were to try and set him up as the head of Land Kendry, would that be a workable goal? While of course keeping Kendry as one of the more influential families, of course! It doesn't take away that Kendry stigma, but lets him shape the family to /his/ ideals (I've discussed this briefly with the other mods and it's a viable long-term plot)

If you don't think he'd really go for that, we can take the Company route instead! The two are conflated in Takasugi's mind, so he's got no preference, just whatever gets a puppet in a high place

A+ I'm down with that!

I'm not sure if I'm going to top level or not, so if you have one I can tag in - even if there's not a prompt for it I can start us off! Otherwise, if I get around to starting things and don't see a top level from you, I'll link you :D!

YEP THAT'S P MUCH MY PLAN like his situation is the literal W o r s t, nothing good can come of this ever.

Holy shit that is .....like that would be. Amazing?????? HOLY MAN I NEVER DARED TO DREAM THAT HIGH??? God no I am so on board for that, Rhys would love to be the new head of Land Kendry????? He always assumed he would never stand a chance so that would blow his mind. Like he would happily assume head of Family as well as pursue Company stuff, but then if he was head of land Kendry he could be head of whatever the heck he goddamn pleased in the Company to so it's pretty win-win 6u9
