thisavrou monthly info ( the tmi )

All information is current as of day 91 ( there are 100 days in a cycle, which started on January 1st).

For the past month, the storm surrounding Thisavrou has quieted almost to a stop. On April 11th, that will change drastically. As the cycle turns, all locations will be subject to a blinding flare of light... and shortly after, a crack of thunder that seems to shake both planets to their core. Emergency protections are quickly put in place, and despite the lancing, intermittent bursts of light, few structures of any kind take harm. But where the plumes of power make contact, the ground will be changed: sometimes aged, sometimes warped, and sometimes filled with a new shape altogether. After April 11, new arrivals may show up at ANY location.

For the first time in recorded history, the weather on Kauto has changed... to a shocking 68°F / 20°C during the day and 61°F / 16 °C at night. The climatologists are very excited. (No one else is.) Chioni, meanwhile, has dropped drastically, with peak highs of 70°F / 21°C and lows of -22F / -30°C in the EN-Line-adjacent regions.

Savrii Notices:

  • Kauto's merchants have stepped up trade in an effort to capitalize on comfort those panicked by the storm. Protective charms, safety guides, and Artifixx knockoffs are being sold, along with more practical supplies like first aid kits and preserved food. One merchant is making a killing with quadruple-strength umbrellas-- "in case of falling people".
  • Mission notices have been posted to TABs for anyone interested in earning a little extra cash. Available missions are listed below:

  • Day 94 (April 4th) - A mob of Spitelings has taken the climate shift as an opportunity, overrunning Chioni's Burg Three while hot-weather personnel were being cycled out. Survivors are reported, but unconfirmed. The mining companies will pay 300 sencs to anyone who helps to clear them out, with a bonus of 150 sencs per survivor rescued.
  • Day 1, new cycle (April 11) - The recently-acquired Artifixx technology proved crucial to keeping the Ingress Complex intact through the first onslaught of the heightened storm. But with readings projecting further escalation, it's vital to ensure the technology gets out-- and that all regions can be protected. Engineers, researchers, and others with appropriate skills will be compensated 300 sencs per week spent on the project.
  • Day 11, new cycle (April 21) - When storm energy left a smoldering heap of melted rocks in one of Kauto's mountains, observing researchers noted it as one phenomenon of many. When said heap stood up and started to rampage, they took a second look. One very angry landmass is trampling its way from Region Two through Three-- and leaving massive wildfires behind it. Panicked pleas have gone out for evacuation, rescue, and containment. Not many have a price attached, though financial gratitude can certainly be negotiated after.
  • 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.

    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.


    Asteroid 276

    In the search to find matching signatures, Thisavrou's Ingress technicians scan a vast array of worlds each cycle. It's very, very rare to find a world that shows all signs of scanning back. A series of careful transmissions back and forth identified the beings on the other side as tentatively friendly, leading Asteroid 276 to be opened as an Exploration Class world.

    As much chaos as might be building in the void of space, the Ingress itself appears untouched... at least, for now. The world drops out from beneath you with a swooping sensation and a quiet hum. When reality returns, you find yourself inside a pleasant, well-appointed room, where a calm female voice asks you to please hold; she'll be there to help you shortly. A console on the wall accepts requests for drinks and food, provided a brief survey is completed to ensure biological compatibility. By the time you've taken a look around, the Greeter has arrived.

    Asteroid 276 is a genetic nursery: a commune of talent pooled toward innovation and improvement of life itself. Founded by a group of scientists driven from their homeworld by war, its inhabitants have spent centuries in seclusion, developing their talents to cure diseases, solve resource shortages, and, of course, seek constant improvement of their own biology. All of this and more will be explained by the Greeter, who remains with your group throughout the mandatory six-hour decontamination. While she apologizes for the delay, it's necessary to ensure the safety of their work-- even the briefest exposure to some forms of contaminants could prove lethal to the new life they shelter. And while your breath and physical secretions are analyzed by researchers elsewhere, you have the opportunity to sit back in comfort, enjoying whatever they can tailor to your needs.

  • Once decontamination is complete, you are free to explore the station. The researchers hope to establish good trade relations with Thisavrou, as well as obtain whatever samples of diverse biology their visitors are willing to provide. As an apology for the delay and a welcome gift to hopeful partners, each arrival is provided with their own companion: a being tailored to guide them and help with their stay. About as smart as an intelligent dog, these creatures bond within minutes to the first being who touches them, becoming loyal allies and assistants at need.
  • Being literally built into the asteroid, the space station has everything it needs to be completely self-sufficient. Visitors can tour the hydroponics gardens, watch a meteor shower at the observation deck, or observe the menagerie of creatures kept for research. While the scientists have, for the most part, reached a stable consensus on their own perfected form, a wide and varied array of species are produced or altered in the labs...
  • ...including, if you wish, yourselves. The main resource the commune wishes to exchange is their own skills: an active form of gene therapy capable of curing disorders and even enhancing the biology of a living creature. While secretive about their methods, they can demonstrate results on both themselves and their creations, and promise no negative effects. Everyone strives to be their best self, after all. Is there anything they can do to help you reach that?
  • Clearance Information :

    CL 1 - may visit freely and return
    CL 2 - may transport personal belongings or trade items
    CL 3 - may bring live creatures in (subject to standard decontamination)
    CL 4 - may bring whatever weapons they may carry (though openly doing so will disturb the residents)
    CL 5 - may negotiate large-scale trade agreements
    Missions available:
  • While Asteroid 276 is looking to establish longer-term relations, its residents certainly aren't opposed to more immediate trade. New genetic material (blood, flesh, or a close equivalent) is valued highly here, and will receive trade goods valuing at 50 sencs per distinct source exchanged. Live (non-sapient) creatures receive four times that value.
  • Information about new worlds is highly valued among the Savrii, particularly when they claim to offer as many solutions as this one. A reward of 200 sencs will be provided for verification of the commune's skills-- and twice that for any resources that might help Thisavrou.

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


  • Important note: More information on Asteroid 276 will be revealed as the month goes on, depending on the nature of player interactions with the setting. Feel free to ask questions here or on the feedback page, and check out the NPC starter if you're so inclined. Don’t forget to respond to the Activity Check!

    [that was......was that a dad joke? jesus

    either way, he keeps turning back to LOOK at their retreat, keeps suspiciously hopeful he gets out of this unscathed]
    shiro2hero: (all right i'll stop and ask directions)

    [personal profile] shiro2hero 2017-04-17 05:18 am (UTC)(link)

    brokeassgoing: (miserable)

    [personal profile] brokeassgoing 2017-04-17 05:32 am (UTC)(link)
    There's a little hole in the wall restaurant two streets down-- that's where I wanna be if I gotta worry about a last meal.
    shiro2hero: (WHADDA FUCK CHILDE)

    [personal profile] shiro2hero 2017-04-17 05:49 am (UTC)(link)
    ... Do you want me to take you to a security depot instead?
    brokeassgoing: (pic#)

    [personal profile] brokeassgoing 2017-04-17 06:09 am (UTC)(link)
    No, all they do is eat donuts. Like cops. Fuckers...just take me there, it'll be alright.
    shiro2hero: (really really tingling)

    [personal profile] shiro2hero 2017-04-17 06:11 am (UTC)(link)
    [Okay, admittedly, part of him suddenly goes "there's donuts here?"]

    Are you sure?
    brokeassgoing: (degeg)

    [personal profile] brokeassgoing 2017-04-17 06:22 am (UTC)(link)

    [personal profile] shiro2hero 2017-04-17 06:33 am (UTC)(link)
    [Donuts are donuts.]

    ... You're talking to a guy who says "it's fine" when things are the opposite of fine on a daily basis.

    Are you sure?
    brokeassgoing: (cutiest pie)

    [personal profile] brokeassgoing 2017-04-17 11:39 pm (UTC)(link)
    Maybe you should stop not being fine and like, take to botany or something.

    I'm sure, yes. [and then:] Thanks.
    shiro2hero: (maybe he's born with it)

    [personal profile] shiro2hero 2017-04-18 04:42 am (UTC)(link)
    Wouldn't that be nice.

    [He's quiet for a moment, on his end, before glancing back at his passenger.]

    Call if it changes, all right? Here's your place.
    brokeassgoing: (i'm not a model)

    [personal profile] brokeassgoing 2017-04-18 05:10 am (UTC)(link)
    [he had the feeling Shiro isn't that type of guy. stubborn, for sure.

    he stretches those long legs of his and prepares to bail]


    Will do. You'll probably hear me screaming from all the way over here. Thanks, man.
    shiro2hero: (im so proud of u nerd)

    [personal profile] shiro2hero 2017-04-18 05:39 am (UTC)(link)
    [You don't gotta bail, he's going to park the shuttle. So there.]

    Hey, we got a little musical bonding out of it. It's nothing.

    [Shiro that's. How is that a joke.]
    brokeassgoing: (cutie)

    [personal profile] brokeassgoing 2017-04-18 05:58 am (UTC)(link)
    [for that he's grateful again; Shiro's not such a musclehead after all.

    But he gives Shiro a Look, snickers]


    Long as you don't hate Purple Rain I think we'll get along fine next time.
    shiro2hero: (oops accidentally charming)

    [personal profile] shiro2hero 2017-04-18 06:05 am (UTC)(link)
    [There's a decidedly sheepish look.]

    Haven't heard it recently enough to hate it. So we're good.
    brokeassgoing: (youre kidding)

    [personal profile] brokeassgoing 2017-04-19 12:48 am (UTC)(link)
    Aw shit, dude, you've gotta go through the nostalgia again. Do it when you get a chance, okay?

    [seriously that's Concerning.]
    shiro2hero: (time for the charm bomb to explode)

    [personal profile] shiro2hero 2017-04-19 04:41 am (UTC)(link)
    When I get the chance, sure.
    brokeassgoing: (cutiest pie)

    [personal profile] brokeassgoing 2017-04-19 05:35 am (UTC)(link)
    [he sends a wave as he gets the fuck outta dodge]

    I have the feeling that won't be soon. Seeya, man.
    shiro2hero: (stoic anime protag pose)

    [personal profile] shiro2hero 2017-04-19 05:36 am (UTC)(link)
    Yeah. Duty calls.

    [He nods to him, maaaaybe watching to make sure the guy actually gets into the building.]

    Look after yourself.
    brokeassgoing: (nostalgia huh)

    [personal profile] brokeassgoing 2017-04-19 06:18 am (UTC)(link)
    [he makes it DAD]
