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.

[Is that comforting? That's probably not comforting. Komaeda watches as this guy sets the robot to tumbling with its own momentum. Huh. Not bad at all. He steps closer, his crowbar held in his hand like that's going to totally help.]
So you're definitely saying they're false then, all those accusations? No shred of truth in them at all?
no subject
Sousei just gives him a flat look, before he responds quite honestly--]
I have not committed a crime. I cannot speak for the others, but I suspect that those accusations are equally false.
[The robot gets up. Sousei smacks it back down with his sheathed sword, expression unchanging even as it clangs to the ground.]
no subject
But luckily he seems to decide that this guy has the robot handled, so he can stick with conversations.]
It wouldn't be surprising. That sort of glitch would be in line with other glitches that have been happening. [In that it's a glitch. It's a little more serious than, say, spam advertisements for robot sex.]
So it's probably just a matter of getting whoever is in charge to change it in their systems. Though that may be easier said than done.
no subject
...Then you think it is accidental.
[Look, he's from the 1800's, glitches are foreign to him. The robot doesn't seem to be moving, though Sousei eyes it rather warily.]
no subject
Well... I'm not actually optimistic enough to call it that. It could be sabotage or an intentional "mistake" by the people running this place. I don't really believe much of what they have to say.
[Komaeda rattles all this off cheerfully enough though.] Their story is too convenient for getting us to help them out, don't you think? ...ah! Did they tell you about it, I wonder?
no subject
Considering their current greeting, I am not truly prepared to believe everything they have told us.
[Because assholes who lie probably are lying more.]
no subject
[Komaeda is extra paranoid after the island and his stint in Haven, so he may have a particularly unkind view of this place.]
So since you've already figured that out, I'm sure you'll be fine. ...well. Once the robots stop trying to kill you.
[Minor detail.] Do you need somewhere to hide, I wonder? [He can help with that! Probably maybe without something going terribly wrong.]
no subject
Sousei does glance Komaeda's way at that, before shaking his head shortly.]
I have no intentions of hiding. If the... robots intend to attack me, then they will sorely regret underestimating me.
It will keep them from attacking the others.
no subject
[Komaeda nods.] If you're capable of defending yourself, then you definitely would do more good... though I guess that means you're a little like bait. But it'll be helpful for anyone who isn't good at fighting.
Aah this really is a mess. I wonder if death is really permanent here.
no subject
... ... ...pause. What.]
... Do you have reason to believe it wouldn't be? [He's been trying so hard to keep up but...death not being permanent???]
no subject
Hmm? Well, I haven't seen it put to the test yet, but in the place I was before, death was temporary. People revived and reappeared a few days later, usually with a few scars, but alive.
I'm still not convinced this place and that aren't connected.
no subject
... ... ... or maybe he can, and this is a whole new version of insanity that Sousei has fallen into, but regardless, he doesn't have the time to process that now.]
I see. What was the place you were in before called?
no subject
[He winces at the irony of it before his shoulders heave in a little sigh.] I'm sure they named it that on purpose. It was the furthest thing from a safe haven you could find though.
In that respect,t his place is much much nicer. [Even if it's probably a trap.] Well. When the robots aren't trying to kill us anyway.
no subject
... [NICER??? okay sure, he's...not even going to question it at this point. It's not worth it. IT'S NOT WORTH IT.]
I see. What matters now is the current situation first and foremost, and the rest when it has settled.
no subject
Ah! How practical! But you're right, I'm sure. First things first.
[Stop the killer robots accusing newcomers without proof.]
no subject
In other words, Sousei is going to turn on his heel and start walking. He's not accomplishing anything standing around, after all. KOMAEDA IS WELCOME TO COME IF HE PLEASES but Sousei's not going to extend an invitation.]
