february mod plot log

Who: Everyone
When: February 3rd to February 28th
Where: Thisavrou + New Worlds
Warnings: death, blood, violence, torture


thisavrou monthly info ( the tmi )

All information is current as of day 32 ( there are 100 days in a cycle, which started on January 1st).

The storm around Thisavrou is particularly volatile this month - plums of dark energy twist and turn. There’s an upsurge in the number of Outpost techs called in to work in an effort to monitor and research Thisavrou’s unruly cage. Weather on Kauto is a moderate 70°F / 21°C during the day and 65°F / 18 °C at night, and Chioni’s has reached record highs of 130°F / 54°C at peak hours.

Savrii Notices:

  • Region One grocery depots are offering fifty percent off of any item purchased between day 41 and 45.
  • Region Four’s population of Gorgóna are giving away free underwater training lessons on the 51st day.
  • Mission notices have been posted to TABs for anyone interested in earning a little extra cash. Available missions are listed below:

  • Day 39 (February 10th) - The locals of Region Three (R3) are in need of “pest” control assistance. Creatures called Tanglesnakes have infested the trees and are eating the natives’ homes! Anyone willing to remove them will be paid 100 sencs per Tanglesnake. However, catching them might be tricky; they are quite fast and are smart enough not to be lured by snacks or kind words of encouragement! They also have a tendency to curl around and trip up anyone after them, hence their name.
  • Day 47 (February 18th) - The waters of Chioni are boiling! Scientists stationed out on the third burg are asking volunteers to bring back samples for study. Anyone willing to risk the harsh climates of Chioni will be compensated with 250 sencs as well as travel expenses up to 80 sencs.
  • Day 55 (February 26th) - The majority of Savrii responsible for the Ingress Complex’s upkeep have suddenly fallen ill, which has left them short staffed. For those not too proud to pick up trash and put a little elbow grease into shining the windows, compensation will be given for the time. This mission pays 40 sencs per hour.
  • As a welcome gift to all the new visitors, Savrii will be handing out treats.


    ingress travel info

    Signatures are the base reason for traveling through the Ingress (aside from general exploration and monetary gain) and are used to discover the correct world visitors on Thisavrou wish to return to. Every visit through a different Ingress brings the technicians a little closer to finding it. The two worlds open for access this month only have a slight impact on the signature of each person who travels.

    Missions are jobs or specific tasks listed on the TAB once new worlds are open for exploration. Be sure to check if Clearance Levels are required to accept some of these missions.

    Clearance Levels are given to visitors for the length of time they have been on Thisavrou (or traveling on the Moira). Each CL offers access to certain things or incentives that others will not have.


    aueia

    To welcome the new arrivals to Thisavrou, all visitors will be granted access to one of the worlds already known to the Savrii. Aueia (proper pronunciation here) is the native homeworld of a species some Moirans may already be familiar with: the migratory space whales. While isolated from the rest of the galaxy, the whales’ homeworld has been known to the Savrii for generations and viewed as a peaceful center of cultural exchange.

    Although some disorientation is common enough with all Ingress travel, transit to Aueia is commonplace enough to make the trip relatively straightforward. A brief sensation of a fall and a wash of color (felt as much as seen), and visitors will find themselves stepping out onto the greeting dock. To leave, characters may make use of the same portal, or explore to find their own—there are multiple transit points scattered through the world, as well as a few maps designed for humanoid interpretation.

    A gas giant encircled by a unique interstellar medium, Aueia holds three distinct zones.

  • The outermost layer, or "sea" of the planet, consists of a liquid shell inhabited by a diverse set of fluid-dwelling wildlife. A variety of tours go out regularly to explore the oceans, and platforms are set up along the boundary for those with interest in "beach" play. The fluid composing the sea is a pale green, and has no harmful effects on contact. However, human-analogous life forms will be advised against consuming the mixture, and may experience dizziness, indigestion, or mild hallucinations if they do.
  • The second, gaseous layer, composes the main range of habitation for visitors and other non-aquatic life. With an oxygen-rich atmosphere and a wide distance from the denser planet core, this region of the planet includes the Ingress dock and the majority of non-native living areas. It’s also known for its low gravity! A wide array of ships and settlements can be found floating through this layer of Auiea, including trade barges, explorers, and a wide variety of schools and learning centers. The lower one goes, however, the less stable the atmosphere, and pockets of dangerous or flammable gases have been known to gather near the boundary with layer three. Gliding equipment can be borrowed or rented at low cost for those who want to travel unassisted. However, visitors with no means of propulsion should take care—falling means a very long way down. On the other hand, you’ll have plenty of time to flag a passing flier to come grab you.
  • A strong layer of electromagnetic distortion separates the habitable second layer from the third. Once crossed, both gravity and pressure intensifies rapidly, well beyond the tolerance of most beings. Standard materials dropped through this layer will crumple and compress before sinking out of sight behind the orange haze of the interior. Even more disconcerting are the shapes that can occasionally be seen within: odd, gigantic silhouettes brushing by the surface of their world. These deep-sea wildlife can’t cross the pressure differential on their own, but are widely regarded as one of the main hazards to any efforts to explore the lower zone. By visitors, at least-- the whales of Aueia are the undisputed masters of their planet, and the only species known to move freely through all layers of their world.
  • As a world visited regularly by the Savrii, Auiea has a relay station set up to enable communication through the Ingress. Some lag may be expected, but TAB functions should persist.

    Clearance Information (Each person can take what is noted for their CL or below into this world.):

    CL 1 - Clothing, swimming equipment.

    CL 2 - Personal weapons.

    CL 3 - Private transportation.

    CL 4 - Small ships.

    CL 5 - Extended stay or the right to build.

    Missions available:

  • Wildlife Preservation - The outer layer of Aueia is home to many creatures. Senc donations will be made to anyone that spends volunteer time cleaning up and caring for the wildlife here. (50 sencs per hour).
  • Object Retrieval - Samples, samples, samples. A sample (it doesn’t matter what it is) from each zone can be sold back on Thisavrou. Z-1 (100 sencs). Z-2 (200 sencs). Z-3 (300 sencs). Savrii will absolutely not purchase creatures that were hunted and killed. However, there might be visitors on Thisavrou interested in this.

    (All sencs are awarded ICly when you come back through. OOCly, you keep track of what you earn.)


  • eosoros (cw: death, blood, violence, torture)

    Ingress technicians have discovered an energy link to a new world. It has been marked as Exploration Class (EC’s) and all who go through will be given a drone to use for documentation. As with the majority of EC’s, this new world’s Clearance Levels will center around weaponry, and most missions focus on security, research, and object retrieval.

    The Savrii are an inclusive group - when they open this world for exploration, all visitors are allowed to enter. They will be told that, as it has not previously been explored, it could be dangerous and for all to heed that carefully before entering. High-paying missions, listed below, will be offered to anyone willing to take them through and Clearance Levels will be posted and applied to TAB devices.

    The ride through the Ingress might be disorienting for some, though many will notice that the temperature steadily increases as they move through the blue energy. Upon entering this new world, they’ll find that the energy dissipates as soon as the person steps out of it. Discovery of a way out of this place is found in Exploration. Broken up into what can only be described as increasingly terrible levels of horror, this world’s only exit (energy that takes you back to Thisavrou) is found at the end of the seventh sector. Each level can be experienced with the same partner or someone different every shift.

  • Level One - You are neither here nor there. The ground is a muted grey color, almost ashy, and each leafless tree is an exact copy of the one before it. In the center of each tree is a carving, the word - Go. Ambiguous in nature, it’s hard to tell if it means to go back the way you came or to continue forward. The choice is in the explorer’s hands. No matter what direction you walk in, the landscape never changes. Colorless and barren, but without any sense of impending danger. After a thousand steps, gait is of no importance, there will be an abrupt shift and the second level will begin.
  • Level Two - That same empty landscape is cut by large, violent storms so close together that there is no place for respite. The wind whips you about, debris flying through the air cuts and breaks, lightening scorches the dirt, and the screams of swept up travelers can be heard from inside the massive dark clouds. The third level starts when the electric heat of a burst of lightning can be felt on your skin.
  • Level Three - Up to your waist, black slush stretches out for what seems like an eternity. As you trudge through, you’ll feel hands grabbing at your ankles and legs, tugging in an attempt to pull you under. The moment the sludge crests the top of your head, the hands let go. This cycle repeats until you’ve crossed two miles of the putrid liquid, and the instant that you touch land, your entire body will vibrate and you’ll be in the fourth level.
  • Level Four - Groups of travelers, some who have been here for a long time and did not arrive from Thisavrou, stand around groups of giant boulders. No matter which you choose, the stone will be extremely difficult to push. Grooves in the dirt show that previous visitors have pushed boulders to the top of a small hill and left them there. Whether you push your boulder alone or have help (one stone gets one person through), when it reaches the top, you’ll vanish and enter the fifth level.
  • Level Five - The heat and smoke surround you. There is only enough space inside the tomb for yourself and whoever else might be inside. Flames billow up on all sides and the stone coffins are hot enough to burn. There are two ways to the next level - put the fire out or let the fire take you.
  • Level Six - It’s a fight to overthrow. Spread out are thousands of people in various forms of battle - verbal, physical, mental. There is someone standing at the ready to explain, if visitors dare to ask them. They’ll spin a tale of the imbalance of power and how the only way to move forward is to best someone else. The method is up to the visitor, and there is only one rule - be the person with the upper hand and you can continue on.
  • Level Seven - You are now standing at the beginning of a cavernous, sloping landscape. In the far off distance is a storm set at the top of a craggy mountain. The energy is a familiar shade of blue - you came through energy just like it. It’s a harrowing journey, a labyrinth of twists and turns. Most get lost and overwhelmed looking for the path that takes them to that storm. Those that make it, who step into the light, return back to the place they had come from.
  • TABs - Functions stop after going through the Ingress.

    Clearance Information (Each person can take what is noted for their CL or below. Standard methods of transportation can be taken through by any CL holder.):

    CL 1 - Small handguns only.

    CL 2 - Rifles and shotguns.

    CL 3 - Explosive type materials.

    CL 4 - Vehicles with affixed weaponry.

    CL 5 - Dangerous creatures.

    Missions Available:
  • Security - Savrii of all backgrounds are looking to hire someone to take them to this new world and bring them back safely. The standard offered rate is 1,000 sencs, but most are open to negotiations.
  • Research - Technicians are looking for scientific aware minds to document and look into the effects of Ingress energy on this world. They’ll pay handsomely for the information. Anywhere between 200 and 500 sencs, depending.
  • Object Retrieval - Samples, samples, samples. A sample (it doesn’t matter what it is) from each level fetches a fair price. L-1 (50 sencs). L-2 (70 sencs). L-3 (90 sencs). L-4 (100 sencs). L-5 (150 sencs). L-6 (200 sencs). L-7 (350 sencs).

    (All sencs are awarded ICly when you come back through. OOCly, you keep track of what you earn.)

    There were a few people who had it right.

    [That Shaw woman, for example, though her article had been mostly dismissed as a wild conspiracy theory. Perhaps that's what Lena thought, too.

    He holds the door open for her, even. The inside is spartan, but sort of quaint--Jack doesn't particularly care what his living space looks like, so he's left it to Ana. It's probably a little obvious. As soon as they're inside, he gestures to a chair at the kitchen table if she'd like to sit down. Jack takes a moment to start unbuckling all his equipment, starting with the mount for his mask.
    ]

    Not a bad guess.

    [Here is a very long moment of silence.]

    Okay. Gave it a shot.

    [Now he is standing, like this very brief kitchen sit-down is now coming to an end. Because it is. Soldier: 76 will not be grilled about interior design choices.]

    You can go.

    [Now she laughs and shakes her head in amusement, stopping only to greet the cigarette with her mouth. So predictable, little child.]

    Somehow I knew you were going to say that. But haven't you heard? Cats have nine lives. [She says with a low voice as she blows another smoke cloud down, right at them.]

    Is there any reason why you can't tell me?
    inconsequence: (❤ you call your life)

    [personal profile] inconsequence 2017-02-26 09:19 pm (UTC)(link)
    "Can't"?

    [A slightly mocking lift to the word - because "won't" is far more accurate, is it not? Not to say the child is being contrarian simply for the sake of being contrarian, but they do rather excel at Antagonizing everyone they meet.

    Why contest what is so plainly true?]


    I've yet to meet any cat that has nine lives in actuality.

    [ Lena gives the room a cursory glance. Whatever creature comforts in the farmhouse must be because of Ana. She sits gratefully and watches him put his equipment away, stripping off layers of Soldier: 76 and bringing out more Jack Morrison. At least, that's what she sees.

    Lena rests her elbows on the table. ]


    Lucky for you, no one believed that reporter. Even I thought she was mad.

    [ Especially her. She's one of the former agents who wants to keep the ideals of Overwatch going-- Jack's ideals, by extension. ]

    Been a bit protective of you since you've been [ dead ] gone.

    Please, ignore him. Would you like some tea, dear?

    [Zevran isn't one to wear a suit to an interview, he doesn't even own one nor does he really know what a three piece suit looks like. He isn't about to dress like some fancy noble either. He wears his combat gear, because that is what the job is all about. It's different than the leather armor he wears back home. It's covers more, he can move easier, and it's more 'modern' as they say. Too bad it doesn't have that same smell of leather, but he could deal without it.

    He gives Shepard a charming smile as he enters, the blades on his back shift just slightly with the straps as he walks and sits.]


    So, exactly what would you like to know about my skills?

    Don't answer her.

    [That's directed at Lúcio, of course, though 76 already knows he has lost this battle. He'll try anyway, turning his attentions to Ana once he's snapped a command at their "guest".]

    He was just leaving.

    Angel. [She repeats it to memorize it better. But it is a strange name and not the first she has heard one having such a name, so out of curiosity, she asks:] You...are a mutant?

    [She sniffs, trying it pick a scent of anything out of the ordinary, but nothing is blatantly apparent. Angel does not seem like any mutant she’s met before.]

    [She comes across the scene and would have passed it by entirely if the way the man had been standing were any different, but from her perspective (built from her experiences and memories, at least), he seemed quite like a soldier that had somehow been ordered to stand in the water for...some unknown reason. It is both curious and suspicious to her.

    She keeps her distance but calls out curtly, clearly enough that she should be heard.

    You. What is it you are attempting to accomplish?

    [personal profile] handofrapture 2017-02-27 01:24 am (UTC)(link)
    [Thought waves. So the creature is like the woman Kerrigan, then? They certainly don’t look anything alike, the blue creature all light and smooth color where Kerrigan had been all angled blades. This one isn't attempting to give orders like Kerrigan, which is another plus.

    Her previous experience with Kerrigan also means that the Big Sister isn't as affronted by this kind of intrusion as much as she could be. Clear, direct communication is not something she usually gets to enjoy, which means that it’s with some effort that she attempts to respond. She shakes her head in answer to the question and imagines instead the place they had been on before arriving here, with its glowing caverns and wide open "sky." She had come with that group of people. She doesn’t know of this “Moira.”]

    [There was a small level of satisfaction in making Jack suffer company. Ana would prefer he tried to socialize but making it happen was nearly impossible.]

    It seems to me that he would like to spend some time here and perhaps tell a story or two. Despite his young age, I am quite sure he has a lot to tell.

    [That was all to Soldier, of course. And to Lucio...]

    It really has been. Make yourself comfortable while you are here. Nothing else untoward will happen.

    [She stares at him for a good beat. She’s sure he’s making fun of her now, and if that isn’t an immediate death sentence here, it’s enough to make her decide to be a good deal less tolerant. She draws herself to her full height at 6’8”, forgoing any attempt at words to growl instead.

    The message should be clear: get lost.]

    [Fi would never give orders, merely suggestions. She was a servant, after all, and while she is a guide it was ultimately the Hero's choice whether he carried through the actions or not.

    The spirit flutters quietly, sleeves at her sides as she bobs up and down]


    I see. You arrived after the crash of the Moira, when we had arrived at the Midway Hub. Perhaps that is for the best; prior to reaching Savrou, there appeared to be some dissatisfaction among crew members. There is an 80% probability that the loss of the location that had been called 'home' by many is the cause.

    It appears the 'sky' is a foreign subject to you. Does that have any connection to your apparent comfort with the sea?

    [He's chosen this section of beach for its lack of foot-traffic. As such, there's no question in his mind that the sudden, curt voice cutting through the gentle sounds of the waves on the shore is addressing him.

    He turns toward the voice, only looking over his shoulder at first, but smoothly following with a full pivot to face the woman on the shore. The small motion does not disrupt his posture.]


    Accomplish? Nothing beyond appreciation of the peaceful environment.

    [His tone, while dry, is also just warm enough to indicate that he does not begrudge the interruption.]

    It's a welcome change from previous months.

    I don't either. I'm done with that way of living.

    [He waves in the direction of the farmhouse.]

    My elf, he does that still. He was what we were before but he enjoys it still. [As long as he's careful, Bucky would never care what occupation he picked up.] I think you should do that, then.

    There are a lot of people here. I bet you could make a good business.

    jk, he can definitely ignore an answer. he's a giant fucking creep. but his methods have very rarely involved actively abducting small children, so you know, at the very least he's going to be discreet about it. more than anything, he's a magpie looking for shiny objects. it's evident that this one is too heavy to carry off.]

    She did her research. I'll give her that.

    [Went all the way out to Bloomington to talk to people, even. Jack isn't a stranger to people trying to write retrospectives on his life, but this one had left him holding his breath, waiting for people to catch on. It didn't happen.

    And he doesn't sit, instead leaning against the counter and sighing, instead. Jack doesn't need to be told that he has the best people in the world (Lena included), but when she says she's still protective of him, he finds himself wishing all over again that they'd just move on with their lives.

    Didn't I?

    [Or he did something. He's not sure. Either way, though, this is his apology. For whatever had happened.]
