Welcome to the CERES! You are now under arrest!
Did you think the glitches were over? Boy, were you wrong! Through the last remnants of the digital kerfluffle, the latest batch of recovered code has manifested in CERES' computer systems as the guilty parties. Yes, that's right, all incoming arrivals are now placed on the wanted list, accused of having committed the heinous crime of creating and releasing the gorg0n virus all over Cerealia. These vicious twelve have been working together all along and conspiring against CERES, and it's now up to everyone to figure out if the new arrivals are truly guilty or if they are as innocent and confused as they claim.
In the meantime, CERES has dispatched assassination droids to stop the accused and bring them to justice via disembowelment. So while CERES rushes to stop the droids from committing murder, characters are perfectly welcome to a.) soil themselves b.) fight off the droids c.) run while soiling themselves or d.) cry a lot. e.) ask for assistance!
"ASSASSINATION MODE: ONLINE
OBJECTIVE: ELIMINATE THE ACCUSED
TIMEFRAME: 24:00 HOURS
JUDICIAL UNIT-00345 DISPATCHED"

//SCENARIOS.EXE
PHASE I [ 00 01 ]
It's a minute passed midnight, and the newest sets of recovered code are being spat out of ViViD and into Cerealia. Before the joyful reunions begin, an announcement starts blaring through everyone's computer screen, TV sets, devices, billboard screens, and so on. The image flashes with twelve names and twelve pictures along with a list of crimes each person has committed. They continue to flash again and again throughout the colony, alerting everyone of these heinous criminals. It's up to anyone if they want to engage them or stay far, far away from these perverts and miscreants.
As the arrivals begin to explore, they will see themselves plastered on just about every screen imaginable.
PHASE II [ 200 ]
It's still dark outside, hardly anyone out and about. It's the perfect time for an assassination attempt because that's when the information is received and processed by Cerealia's judicial system, but this isn't a job for any ordinary donut-eating cop. No, this is far greater than that. They bring out the big guns.
Twelve assassination droids, clad in armor and carrying katana, are immediately dispatched and sent to take out each of the accused at any cost. Characters are welcome to do any of the above choices while veterans to Cerealia can assist the arrivals, assist the droids, or just sit back and watch others suffer. It's completely up to you. They can also run into the droids on their search and try to interact with them.
PHASE III [ 700 ]
Your friendly CEO has finally gotten his ass out of bed, but by then, who knows how many people are left alive? After hearing of the kerfluffle, he decides to issue a cease and desist on the assassination droids, and instead, has his investigation units step in to confirm that the new arrivals are not guilty of any of the crimes and charges listed under their name. They will be pulled aside for painful, painful questioning before being released to explore as they wish.
To make up for all the damages and trauma incurred from the near-death attempts, Julius will also be giving the new arrivals a settlement of 20,000 credits each, so go out and party.
PHASE IV [ 1200 ]
By noon, the incident has been cleared up with little to no blood spilled (hopefully). New arrivals are welcome to explore and enjoy their new living arrangements or possibly lie in bed and just cry some more. Either way, welcome to the magic that is Cerealia. The CEO will announce that the last of the virus has been officially cleaned up and taken care of, and he'll be issuing a video with a public apology for all.
BONUS [ whyo'clock ]
Among the police droids dispatched, there will be a rehabilitative droid in a dinosaur suit, looking to cure the criminals of their improper behavior and their moral indiscretions through the power of LOVE and HUGS. It was developed after the researchers in CERES did extensive research on other worlds and found that this mystical creature was capable of creating worldwide joy and cheer. It will be chasing those who are on the Wanted List exclusively, but it will not stop at just them. Your character will be accosted and hugged whether they like it or not.

What do you know of the legal system in place?
no subject
What. Do you think I look like the sort of guy who'd know that stuff?
no subject
I apologize; did you arrive recently?
no subject
It's been a little while. [ Weird Cerealia time.. so he makes sure to clarify-- ] I didn't arrive this morning like some people apparently did.
no subject
no subject
[ Look, do you expect him to keep an exact count of the days? It'd just be awkward since it would be a count of the amount of days he's spent away from his sister.. that's just stuff he doesn't want to think about too hard if he can help it. ]
Part of the first group that ended up here, I think.
no subject
no subject
There could've been a group before us, but I haven't seen them. [ Or spoken to them.. and then he doesn't even want to think of what could have happened to a group like that to spontaneously disappear, honestly, so it's just easier to assume they were the first. ]
It seems we all got the same story, though.
no subject
[Edgeworth tries not to jump to this conclusion. It could all be a trick.]
no subject
They haven't said anything about how we're supposed to help yet though. Who knows if it's all true or not.
no subject
[Anything could be possible if he had a bad case of worldhopping syndrome right now.]
no subject
[ It's some scepticism, sure, but there's also some curiosity in the way he looks at the other guy, although it's harder to find.. granted, he does have that stereotypical smart people look (isn't that what cravats are for), but who knows, he can't really form a solid opinion on this guy just yet.
Heung Soo will be glad though if he actually can figure out if it's the truth or not - it's just that he doesn't think anyone easily could, considering how little CERES has told them so far. ]
no subject
[He sounds very confident. What Edgeworth doesn't know is that he's in for a major disappointment when he ends up as clueless as everyone else with no choice but to presume that if there's no way to disprove the existence of...well, everything, then it would be the truth.]
no subject
Who knows. It all depends on how this turns out. ]
Well. If you can find out, it'd help everyone. [ Since he sure would like to know for sure whether their worlds are okay or not..
He's not polite enough to say "we'll be relying on you" or anything along those lines, but at least there's this?? ]
no subject
[At this point, Edgeworth recalls the last time he tried to mount a major investigation effort at a strange world. It only confirmed that such world wasn't a farce and didn't really yield any other definite answers. But now was not the time to dwell on that.]
no subject
Then.. [ He nods his head, at least a little politely, because.. well, if this guy can really figure shit out? Then props to him, even Heung Soo's got to admit that. And he's more polite than he looks, anyway. ] I'll be going now. If you don't have any other questions.
no subject
[He holds up a finger to emphasize his point. Really, just one last question and he'll let you go.]
Have you heard of gorg0n?
no subject
[ They're the ones that caused all that spam, right? That virus that the one guy in charge was talking about.. did this guy already find out about that? ]
I'm not sure if I know anything useful about it though. [ If Edgeworth has heard of it already in general, then he's probably already heard everything Heung Soo knows too, he figures. ]
no subject
no subject
[ Sorry, he's sort of short about these sort of things, Edgeworth...!! Especially since he doesn't really like being ordered around or whatever, but at least he'll comply with this if this guy can really figure out more about this place. ]
It got into the robots here once. Made them go crazy like some movie.
no subject
no subject
Yeah. Pretty much. [ You don't want to know how you feel when your toaster suddenly starts attacking you, okay, Edgeworth. There's quite some shitty things out there in the world, but that's definitely one of them. ] It was a huge pain.
[ Understatement.. his grumpy expression at the recollection tells as much. ]
no subject
[Sorry, Edgeworth is going to dredge up those unpleasant experiences for the sake of the ~TRUTH~]
no subject
Except even if Heung Soo might have the normal people variation of those things about some issues, this isn't one of them. It's just annoying - and it shows in the way he reacts, sighing like it's the most bothersome thing ever even to just recall it. ]
The washing machine started spitting out clothes. When I tried to grab toast from the toaster, it tried to jump up and bite me.
.. Whatever it is weird angry toasters do, considering they don't have teeth. [ He refuses to be part of this Disney-style horror movie bullshit, okay!! The Brave Little Toaster more like no, can we not. ]
no subject
Holy butts, attack of the household appliances. He doesn't like the idea of his refrigerator suddenly running after him after he opens it, for example.]
That's... [His expression says it all.]
