terminal scavenger hunt

[melnik]

Hi, expi! As I'm sure many of you know by now, there has been an IC discussion going on re: forming several groups to go seeking out the terminals. Root (computation) suggested to Miller that he take charge of organizing these groups while she would work on organizing the technical side. They are specifically interested in doing the reset after making a backup of the current system. So, just making this post to let the plotting commence!

Obviously this is a player organized sitch, so please feel free to ignore and it and completely do your own thing if that works better for you!

But for those who are interested, here's the basic rundown right now:

- Groups will be assigned by general scouting location (Aldrip and surrounding area, Ketsora, Lorentia Cave, Desert, Pessiria Forest/Rumpitur area, Ruins).

- STEM club will be providing a telemeter to each team which will provide a signal helping lead them to the terminal.

- Communication will take place via the STEM club's established darknet to keep details as secure as possible; characters who can’t already access it will be provided access. Spock, Kirk, and Pike will be acting as support and coordination for everyone.

- ICly, Miller will be looking for at least one tech-savvy person for each group and at least one battle-ready person (but preferably more); he would favor characters going to certain regions based on their own background in game or in their own canon (e.g. he's from an apocalyptic underground society, so he knows how to navigate underground), but we can pretty much flub anything based on your preference.

- If your character wants to be in a group with another particular character or characters, just let me know you'd like them to be paired together!

- If you have a preference for a location you either want your character to go to or don't want your character to go to, also let me know! If no preference is given, I will RNG your character into a team. The idea was originally for 6 teams, but if we get too many people, we'll just have more teams!

- Want to be involved and your character hasn't talked to either Root or Miller? Totally cool to handwave that interaction with Miller! No need to ask my permission. But feel free to add me on shomonkai or hit me up in the game discord @ seraphita2033 if you need to hash anything out.

For the sake of not slowing down the event, sign ups will close on 9/20 at 12 pm PST (GMT -8) at which point I will respond to you with your team assignments! But there is, of course, no time limit on what you devide to do with it. Happy searching, Chosen!

Feel free to use the comments below to plot out things amongst yourselves, not limited to but including trying to throw a wrench in these plans completely.

Well, if you want a chance for the Koromaru thing to come up, maybe they could run into some sort of danger? It does say Aldrip and the surrounding area, so maybe they could go out into said surrounding area and run into something dangerous.. Either a monster, or a glitch... or a glitched monster, the worst of all possible worlds!!!

I DO LOVE THE WORST OF BOTH WORLDS... I will be happy as a clam so long as Koromaru get to show his stuff 🙏 They could tackle that and then maybe come across a portal later on + let Seimei and Izuku know what they found, or Seimei and Izuku can find the portal first. Either way I am game!! If we wanted to save time, we could even just stick them in the outskirts of Aldrip and have the two of them running back to the city after bumping into danger?

I would definitely be alright with starting things out there! c: Would you mind writing a starter, or should I?

[memori3s]

I can write the starter for us! Is it safe to assume Ange reached out to Minato to look around Aldrip with her? Or should I just run with the assumption that Miller just threw the 2 of them together in a group with Izuku and Seimei?

[entreats]

You can assume Ange would have reached out to Minato! Maybe sometime around the time of their post-Gnosia event conversation when he invited her out to eat together she would have realized that Minato is a little bit like a puppy who needs some direction.. So in that case she would have made sure to drag him with her to make sure he doesn't end up in anything dangerous this event.

omg Ange dragging him around to make sure he doesn't end up in anything dangerous... especially since he ran into so much trouble the prior event... Ok that works! I'll get that starter going for us asap and drop the link in here!

edit: got our starter over here! Lmk if you need edits!
