thisavrou monthly info ( the tmi )

⋆ All information is current as of day 62 ( there are 100 days in a cycle, which started on January 1st).

⋆ The storm around Thisavrou is rather quiet this month. Although there is still an upsurge in the number of Outpost techs called in, many of them have been put on standby until otherwise needed. 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 dangerous highs of 200°F / 93°C at peak hours.

⋆ Savrii Notices:

Region One grocery depots are offering sixty percent off of any item purchased between day 70 and 82.
Region Three’s residents are doing a pruning ( every sixty days or so ) and all excess is available to be taken; if you need it for mulch, lumber, etc. it’s free to anyone.

⋆ Mission notices have been posted to TABs for anyone interested in earning a little extra cash. Available missions are listed below:

Day 65 (March 6th) - The locals of Region One (R1) are looking for extra help with cleaning and are hiring pairs to run each machine. They’ll pay 50 sencs an hour or 300 sencs for a full day.
Day 68 ( March 10th) - A group of newcomers have taken shelter in Region Five as their home world is no longer habitable. All of their belongings have been brought through the Ingress and is stacked up outside the EN-Line in R1. Savrii are paying volunteers 70 sencs an hour to help transport everything to their new homes. This species returns kindness with kindness, and will offer any volunteer who goes the extra mile tips ranging from 100 to 200 sencs.
Day 75 (March 16th) - With temperatures on Chioni reaching record highs, some scientists and researchers have been stranded due to EN-Line shutdowns. Those in the Ingress Complex are offering 950 sencs to anyone who is willing to withstand the heat and rescue their fellow colleagues. Any equipment needed for the trip will be provided, but due to the greater increase of temperature, some suits may only cool a body inside for a total of four hours before needing replaced. Plan the trip wisely: most EN-Line access has been completely revoked and travel by foot (or vehicle) is necessary.
Day 87 (March 28th) - Scientific Study. Do you smoke? Are you addicted to any substance? A scientist researching methods to combat addictions, of all kinds, is looking for volunteers. He’ll ask a series of questions, take samples, record, study, analyze, and apply new procedures over the course of a day (nothing invasive without permission). Compensation is 800 sencs with complete cooperation.

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.

deslora

⋆Upon entering the world of Deslora, everything seems to be connected by an intricate tunnel of tubes that lead to different and very explorable areas of this new place. Ingress travel will have been quick but somewhat nauseating for most, and returning to Thisavrou will result in the same feeling. However, it wears off quickly, and Deslora is opened as EC (exploration class). Aside from the bright colors of the “walls” and the excessive lights, there are also smells of familiarity—to some. Popcorn, pizza, cotton candy. They waft through the tunnels and get stronger the closer anyone comes to the first open area of Deslora, and depending on the route that is taken, some may have to crawl or walk right into it.

⋆Food, perhaps, might be one draw to Deslora, but it is not, so to speak, the main attraction. After piling through the tunnels, it’s like being inside a massive tent. There is no natural lighting, everything illuminated by bulbs or torches placed strategically across the path that leads to an equally smaller tent. Dangling above the doorway is a sign that reads Laugh Your Way to A Smile with reflectors and pieces of glass hanging from its bottom. Entering the tent will reveal a very small but intricately designed room full of twists and turns and mirrors. The strange thing about them comes with looking at your own reflection; passing by will do nothing. If you linger too long, you find your own physical body beginning to take the shape of what is reflected in the mirror. Sometimes, you are stretched thin and tall. Sometimes, you are short and round. And other times, you will find yourself suddenly wavy and curved from head to toe. These changes do not hurt the first few times they happen, but after the third look at your reflection, some alterations may cause pain in your limbs or torso. It increases each time you look at a mirror, and while the effects will fade after a few minutes, it’s best not to linger too long and find your way out through the otherside.

⋆Located several tunnels down - or up, depending on the direction you go - from the Deslora’s ever-popular funhouse is another equally famous attraction. At the top of the steps, a worker waits to pair up individuals into groups of two before ushering them inside the first set of doors. The foyer is quiet, and after the doors behind you have been shut, two single doors ahead of you and your partner begin to illuminate. There is a sign between the doors: Pick A Path . Once through the chosen door, it will lock and the door will slowly fade away. It will quickly become evident that what is in this room is specifically targeted at one out of the two people inside. A happy memory, a beloved hobby, the person you love most - the scenario is always different, but the overall feel is the same. Whatever the room has transformed into, it’s what makes that person the happiest. If it’s a person, they can be spoken to and touched, if it’s an object, it can be used. As the interactions between both characters and the room increase, subtle changes will begin to occur. Slowly, the contents of the room begin to morph into something new. The combination of what one person loves the most and what the other hates the most. The only resolution to be had is to confront the issues and find something in the room to help. For one past patron, the room transformed into thousands of paintings that morphed into painted memories of their partner’s most painful memories. The only way out was a can of varnish tucked back into the corner of the room. Be creative, be careful. Find the way out together.

thisavrou (R6)

Every so often, new Regions are built to accommodate visitors who are looking to make Thisavrou their homes, a place to work, and many other acceptable reasons. The Savrii pride themselves on being open to explorers and travelers, allowing Thisavrou to be a mecca of trade, exploration, and for some - a place to live. During many meetings with Savrii intermediates over the course of 600 days, an agreement was made with an entrepreneur looking to find a safe place to build their business. The funder, John Hammond, spent millions of sencs on the proper permits and is funding the building, transportation, expansion and overall creation of Region Six. Over the next 30 days, Mr. Hammond will be following very specific building schematics and with this, will be hiring temporary workers to fill the positions required to do so. Job postings will go up and those that do well, might be offered permanent employment when Region Six is up and running. Hammond, along with his temporary work posts via the TABs, will release a missive explaining the following: a few days before the Region is open he will be hiring a large number of permanent employees in (research, science, ingress, cleaning, security, transportation, customer service) fields. He’ll also thank all Savrii, and anyone living on Thisavrou, for allowing him to bring him and his to live here.

[For Angel, that single moment simply wasn't enough. The wave of energy hit her and hit hard, enough that it could have, should have chased a cry out of her, if not for the tendrils that tightened around her. Angel tried to fight it off, cursing the fact that her powers were so limited without technology, without electricity. Altering the field of view wouldn't change anything, wouldn't dissuade the force dragging her forward.]

[She tried hard to dig her heels in, to stop the assault, but it wasn't long until she was dragged before the girl.]

You can't... [Her voice wavered.] You can't destroy the mirror.

[The inexorable telekinetic pull will continue to drag the woman forward until the Big Sister’s outstretched hand can wrap around her throat. Thin fingers curl around her neck, not tight enough to cut off her air, but enough to prevent her escape.

The woman’s words only get a growl and a defiant toss of the Big Sister's head. Why not?]

[So this was what Jack's victims felt like. The fingers weren't so tight, but there was enough pressure to send wave after wave of terror crashing through her system. At the very least, the girl before her seemed to be taking far less pleasure from her positioning than her father used to.]

It's... It heals people. It healed me. You can't take that away from people.

[Heals? The Big Sister makes a sound somewhere between a snarl and a laugh. She raises her other hand, but rather than use it to strike her captive, she merely flexes the fingers. The pink skin and shortened bones they had gained from the girl in the mirror have already faded away, leaving the hand just as pale and skeletal as before.

She uses the hand still around the woman's neck to force her to look up at her with sudden urgency. The Big Sister's lips move as if she's speaking, but the sound is more like the whistle of wind through rocks than any coherent language. Still, if the woman reads her lips, she might be able to work out the two words she’s trying to speak:

Not. Real.]

[Though the girl might not have meant to harm her, Angel still flinched away as best she could, wincing in anticipation of a blow that never came. When she realized that she would not be harmed, glanced up at the hand. Both confusion and disappointment ran over her features. Yes, her own changes had disappeared, but she simply figured she hadn't waited long enough.]

I don't understand. [She spoke more to herself than to her captor.]

[When the hand around her neck shifted, Angel tensed up in anticipation, expecting for her death to quickly approach. Instead, she met the girl's eyes, and sighed in relief when she realized that was all she was meant to do.]

[She didn't need the girl to speak to understand what was going on. The mirror was simply a trick, rather than anything else.]

I thought... [She tried to shake her head, despite the grip on her neck. Of course it couldn't have been so easy.] You're right.

[The woman’s acceptance was never a given. If she had struggled, if she had denied and protested, the Big Sister might have lashed out in disgust, this time lethally. Instead, her gaze grows appraising at the woman’s words—and slowly, her fingers uncurl from around her neck.

She turns back towards the mirror then, lip curling at the false sight she can see within. Another girl, not real, no more real than Rapture’s shining walls and polished faces had been when she was only a child.

And then her hand forms a fist and strikes out at the mirror with enough force to shatter it completely.]

[Angel sank to her knees, briefly oblivious to the planned destruction. Her fingers lifted to her throat, grazing the spot where those grotesque digits had been. She winced more on instinct than anything else.]

[It was only once she heard the crunch of glass that her gaze lifted to the girl once more. The mirror, the object of their contention, rained down around them, leaving only the shattered bits of glass to stare back up at them. She reached for a piece, longing to get one last look at what she couldn't have, but stopped just shy of picking one up.]

[Better to not set off the creature before her.]

[Instead, Angel lifted herself to her feet, hoping to wordlessly sneak off the way she came, to escape and nurse her wounds elsewhere for the time being]

[The Big Sister stares down at the glimmering shards now scattered across the floor, cold satisfaction settling in her stomach. There’s no lie reflected in those broken pieces, just her own pale face and yellowed eyes, just as they should be.

She sees the woman stand out of the corner of her eyes, but makes no move towards her. She doesn’t even turn her head. Whatever danger the mirror had presented now eliminated, the Big Sister has no further interest in the woman. She can leave, if she likes.]

[With no indication that she might try to follow, Angel quickly turned heel, racing around one corner, then another. It was only there that she pressed her back against a wall and covered her mouth, trying to muffle both her breaths and whatever other terrified noises threatened to come out. She still felt the hands against her neck, still felt the cold fear that she so often associated with death.]

[When it became obvious that the girl truly wasn't following, Angel righted herself. Her arms wrapped around herself, stumbling forward and making her way to the exit.]

[She was proud of herself for looking behind herself fearfully only a handful of times.]
