On day eight of the month of Llama the voidtreckers will hear a
message on their comms. A friend to lend help and ask for some herself.
Ongoing is optional and the tasks of planting netpoints and getting close to key people across the city can be done alongside the original tasks which are still pressing. Even more pressing is the fact that the illusions are getting stronger and harder to resist.
The netpoints just need placed around, they are small and seem to have a small camouflage that help them blend in though putting them out of the way is for the best.
The scanners are small, small enough to be hidden under their SCA's. They do a lot of the work automatically but they only work in very close quarters, people will need to get basically to touching distance of a citizens watch in order to scan it- a hand shake is the best way.
Tier OneThe voidtreckers have made good progress mapping the tier. Those who are helping Anan have plenty to do here as having the net spread around the whole information and server centres of the top tier is beneficial. There's plenty of people here who could be assumed to have access codes, though many of this tier have taken to bunking down, as the situation becomes more unstable.
The illusions here are getting more real, not just images any more but sounds, voices. No people still but echos of words, of song, of screams.
There's an urge as well, to stay. This is home after all. For those who helped free the monks in the towers of Erda this is a
very familiar feeling. Going alone is unwise, after all it is a lot easier to fight the illusions when there's another person to help ground them.
Tier TwoHere too Anan will urge anyone who is helping place the netpoints to get them into as many places with the holograph projectors as possible, which means not just the crime scenes but other houses and offices as well. They can be sneaky about it or try and talk their way into the spaces to plant the devices.
The corporation offices are good places to scan for data though that will take more subterfuge.
And whilst all this is happening the monster attacks are getting more frequent. Voidtreckers will find themselves stalked by monsters, especially when they are trying to get into buildings or offices, as if the monsters are trying to prevent them from getting around.
Tier ThreeNot so much data to scan for here unless anyone wants to infiltrate the factories and get to some of the higher management. However plenty of places to put netpoints, getting them onto spectura devices is the aim which means getting into homes, shops and into the hospital.
Due to the work by those jumping into the game and the work of those hacking from the outside the Spectura situation has vastly improved. Many of the people have woken already though there are others still trapped. However inside the game the vines are getting more aggressive and harder to fight off, though soothing still works against them. The vines seem to target the voidtreckers as well, trying to cut them off from each other and attack them when alone.
Tier FourFor the voidtreckers who are infiltrating and asking around they will have found that their questions have led to more questions. Some of the people here are happy to be asking these questions, what is this prize? Why are the fights going wrong? What are people seeing?
Some are angry and the leaders of the fighting rings and willing to help the voidtreckers get to the bottom of this. Others are angry at those asking questions for stirring the pot. Others are just angry because the situation is becoming unstable. There are whispers that no such prize exists, whispers that it is some nefarious plot. More whispers that those first whispers were started in order to thin out the competition.
The visions are getting more common, violence is breaking out even outside of the fighting rings, bar brawls are more common, fighting in the streets. It seems whatever is affecting people is spreading, taking over the whole district.
Getting close to the people who are likely to have access codes to anything is only possible by getting through to the higher rounds but those fights are getting more and more dangerous as time goes on.
General information.~ The ongoing post is
here. It can be used for further infiltration things or just general mission-goal threads set on day eight and beyond.
~Getting the netpoints or scanners can be handwaved if you wish- you can assume either your character got them from Anan directly or the droid Chiff brought them- characters can also take enough to share around. However feel free to jump in an NPC thread with Anan if you wish.
~ Either way let us know below if your character is planting netpoints or scanning data and where/who they are doing it to (roughly- 'a fight overseer' is enough). If you want NPC threads for getting close and scanning data
here if the post. Please give a brief line of what you are wanting in the thread (e.g 'a hospital boss to try and get data from) to help us!
~ Also I know there are a lot of character initiatives and attempts to help the people of the city both with the imidate issues and in general. I've popped a top level on here to consolidate that information so if your characters are doing anything either with hacking, helping or generally bigger more noticeable things please let me know there!
