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.

i.
When she looks, though... ]
Mafia crimelord? [ ... ] You don't look like any mafia crimelord I've ever seen.
no subject
They're lying. I don't know what that is, but they're trying to frame me! What kind of weirdos try to frame kids for their crimes? [granted, she doesn't know if that's what is happening, but it sounds better than anything else she can come up with.]
no subject
[ Who would mistake such a cute kid for a crimelord. ]
Maybe they got your identities mixed up.
no subject
[not entirely impossible, but she'd rather not think that.]
They have my picture and everything, though. [this is confusing and frustrating.]
no subject
[ Smooth, Kara. ]
Did they say anything to you?
no subject
but her other question causes elle to tilt her head.]
"They?" [she isn't sure exactly who that's supposed to be. her accusers? whoever tried to explain the situation in terms not suited for an eight year old's understanding? it's a mystery.]
no subject
The people in charge of this place. My own arrival here was a... lot less hectic than this.
no subject
[not that she'll have any idea about it, but they did kind of just leave her to fend for herself.] They don't seem very smart.
no subject
They're called Ceres. Apparently, they're a research company who are set out to help us save our worlds from aliens. I've only been here for a few weeks, so I don't know how honest they are but... a little while ago, I got to talk to someone who works for them.
[ She's talking about the time she responded to a laxative ad because she didn't know what it was, and a nice person emailed her to warm her about it... and they got philosophical. That situation warmed her up to Ceres a little. Not that she's going to admit to them, of course. ]
no subject
[she purses her lips a little, thinking about it for a minute. it sounds kind of ridiculous when she knows there are people in "her" world that can probably kick some serious alien ass. it seems weird, but she's not in much of a position to question it deeply right now. there are more important right now.
you know, like questioning a total stranger about the little things. besides, if she's saying she isn't sure about their honesty, elle knows she probably shouldn't just believe the first thing she hears. somehow, that never works out well.]
You talked to them? What did they say?
no subject
[ She rubs the back of her head. ] At least, that's the impression I got.
no subject
so of course, elle crosses her arms over her chest and tilts her head.] I don't really get it.
[at least she's not being totally sassy about it, even if her expression may just have a hint of "translate for the child, please."]
no subject
no subject
[with or without the current situation, it seems pretty dumb as far as elle can see.]
no subject
Seriously. Sometimes I don't even understand them. [ And with that, she holds out a hand to Elle. ] Sorry the circumstances aren't any better, but it's nice to meet you, crime lord.
no subject
[she may be tilting her head a little at the notion that kara doesn't get them when she seems plenty grown up herself... but it's not all that important. she seems cool and pretty, and that's obviously good enough....
you know, even if she doesn't say it at all. instead, she returns the gesture. and thinks it's totally cool to get to greet someone with a handshake like that, instead of just being treated like a useless kid or something.] Anyway, I guess it's not your fault that everything else here seems like it's super weird.
no subject
[ There are no such things as useless kids... just ones that are ruder than others. Looking at you, Damian Wayne. ]
I guess not, but I still wish it was easier on you. My own arrival was pretty tame. There was a significant lack of false charges.
no subject
[well, it's enough to sufficiently distract her. though maybe that's because when she says it like that, it sounds like a secret identity.
without the secret part, because she just said it, but elle can toss that aside. good job totally distracting the child from the bigger issue for a couple of minutes.] It kinda sounds like a superhero name or something. Like in a show, you know?
[not any show she's seen specifically, but still.]
no subject
[ So.
Exactly like a superhero. ]
no subject
[she's shocked... and impressed. that's so cool! not that she's ever seen those comics or anything, but she at least gets that it's not the same as where she's from.] So, do you like... fight evil bad guys and stuff? Like... pow pow!
[sunscreen rangers sound effects are totally valid here.]
no subject
[ She's even punching her fist into her palm, making a similar noise to... whatever KRAKKKK!! is supposed to be. ]
The 'fight evil bad guys' thing is right.
no subject
[never mind the fact that her friends have saved worlds, punched god and whatnot. that's totally different.]
no subject
I keep hearing that... there are so many of us back home that I'm used to everyone knowing about them.
[ She refuses to think of them in a past tense, no matter what she was told. She can save them, regardless of if she goes with what Ceres says or not.
So it's definitely "there are" instead of "there were"
no subject
I guess that's what it's like where you're from, huh. Superheroes and stuff everywhere to save the day from the bad guys... [she's thinking hard about this. it sounds so cool in theory... more places should have stuff like that to deal with things like terrorists and other scary beings, okay.]
I've only ever seen that kinda stuff on TV.
no subject
I'm sure there are heroes in your world. They probably just don't go by silly names or wear costumes.
