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.

hello modlings i have a question about our dear friend zan:

what sort of info would be circulating about him amongst info brokers? like sightings of him on leith etc or is this one a bit more restricted since it's plot relevant?

[personal profile] lotusmesenpai 2017-01-14 04:15 am (UTC)(link)
WAIT I don't think I asked, but will she be on Leith then, or Westerley? I *think* they're going to be stuck on Leith once the quarantine goes into full effect...

[personal profile] brickinthewall 2017-01-14 04:25 am (UTC)(link)
yep she's killjoy and hanna doesn't know how to be civil so being at odds but forcibly making herself play nice for the sake of $$$ would be the way to go

Character: Angel
Location: Westerly?

Primary Faction Goals: As Jack's info sleuth, Angel is tasked with phishing out any information that may be of value for him, whether it's criminal activity or inner workings of the Company, if it can give Jack the advantage Angel is in charge of finding and bringing it to him.

Secondary Faction Goals: Assistance to RAC agents contracted or associated with Jack. Actually, just by being a high ranking RAC agent you may be of interest.

Desired CR: Are you subscribed to HACKERS weekly? Just kidding, there's no such thing, but if your character is particularly tech-savvy, a fan of AIs and maybe a bit of a conspiracy theorist then they may have heard of the urban legend that is the Guardian Angel AI, and may be interested in seeking her out or visa versa. She could use a (secret) friend.

Any CR under the false pretense of Angel being a helpful AI, maybe someone who likes to gab a lot about top secret intel or blackmail fodder. Also anyone who doesn't like Handsom Jack. (wait that's everyone)

Any CR that will help to plant the seeds of eventual rebellion are also very welcome.

Offered CR: Want some company on your travels from a helpful AI with a soothing voice? Okay with being possibly probably manipulated? (listen, it's not totally her fault!) What about having private info passed along to Jack so he can totally doxx you leak your nudes get ahead and probably knock some heads? (again, not her fault!) Then Angel is your girl!

Anything else? Angel is a bit of a restricted character, she's stationary in her current location, and can only be interacted with in person by those who know where that is (a number that can probably be counted on one hand.) As such, she's only really available through the network, and any logs will have to be done with some kind of communication device present, either one she can already access or one she can be uplinked into.
Also, I'll be making a pre-game CR post catchall asap, if you have ideas hmu here, on plurk @weirdtakoyaki or @memefkkr on discord (preferred)

What about some (eventual) double crossing? A claim to be a mole (since Angel is inside the Company by proxy) while gathering resistance trust and info from Damian? And hey, she can relate to all those Daddy Issues, even if she can't speak about them.

YEAH that works!! I just tagged it back, so I assume they have seen each other around and then met (in that TDM thread) so they probably have established CR from there from both Scarback and Resistance! Is the scientist thing common knowledge, or would Steinbeck only know one of the two personas?

Ahah yeah Giovanni's a bit of a dick when he knows he can get away with it but at least he'll have orders not to kill killjoys so they can snark at each other but play more or less nice.

And go for it! winging it works for me. He has open prompts here! or just surprise me!
ofobedience: please do not take (pic#7763982)

[personal profile] ofobedience 2017-01-14 09:01 am (UTC)(link)
No real preferences! Though he's more inclined to kill than capture, so there's that.

[personal profile] rhygret 2017-01-14 09:28 am (UTC)(link)
During would work great! Rhys is spending a fair amount of time there for this event since he's going to get infected there! After he gets the infection he'll be holed up in recovery so he'll be mia
rhygret: (Default)

[personal profile] rhygret 2017-01-14 09:30 am (UTC)(link)
Yes please! I'll be a little slow this next day or so, but I should be able to tag in after that!
