THE TOWER
[ As per the mod post:

All groups will find that the tower is deserted, and all technology is shut off. Through some fiddling, some of CERES’ databases can be accessed, but only in the most basic of safe modes. Hacking will just get everything to shut off again, as it takes too much power from whatever emergency power source allows the systems to turn on.

There are no dangers, but even so, the characters won’t have long in the tower before their code starts to warp strangely. If they stay too long, they will be glitched right out of existence -- and then right outside of the tower. They will find that for the next three ic days, all food tastes burnt and sleeping is extremely unsatisfying, to the point that they don’t even feel like they need it, before they go back to normal. Characters will have a maximum of 3 IC hours in the tower before that point.

Feel free to thread out characters meeting up before the exploration, or bumping into each other in the rather big tower, amongst other shenanigans! ]


THE SANCTUARY
[ there isn't much of a preparation for this, but there will be a text blast alerting everybody to go to the sanctuary if they so please to discuss what people have found in the tower.

as usual, a variety of flavours of pizza is being served. there may not be pizza for everybody however, as athena is rather broke. (sweats) remember to leave your cerevices in the basket by the entrance! ]

[ Some of it had been logistical efficiency. Some of it had been pairing skills. And some of it had just been based on personalities, who knew each other the best. Hiro and Dipper would do anything to keep each other safe, and also keep the other from taking unnecessary risks. His friends from home all knew each other's abilities best, and would work well together. Mercy, a trained combatant and a medic, was perfect for Mabel, possibly the least experienced in the group. And he'd wanted to keep something of an eye on Kyoko himself, as well as be able to rely on her expertise and sharp eye.

Yu is frowning sharply as he, too, leafs through a ledger in a bookcase not far from Kyoko's. He feels anger, but also a deep sense of bitter satisfaction. He'd started theorizing months ago that ViViD was the way they collected energy, but to actually find such clear, undeniable truth... it makes his mouth taste sour.

Pawns. That's all they are...

He'll look up at Kyoko as she speaks and nod. ]

I'd like to take a whole ledger with us, but there could be a risk attached to doing so.

[ It seems as if no one is monitoring their implants right now - or if they are, they don't seem to care the tower has been infiltrated by 50-something people - but that doesn't mean that won't be true in the future, and smuggling an entire ledger out could be more difficult. ]

Let's each take a few pages. We can store them safely for later reference.

[ In the Sanctuary, he means. ]

[fittedgloves]

That's a good idea. After all, they're more likely to notice if we take more than just some pages.

[ And she'll continue to flip through the book, trying to decide just what to take. ]

...What do you think of this information?
