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.

no subject
[But Ten-nii? Aniki?? Hinata looks surprised, considers for half a second before deciding that no he couldn't possibly... the only one he could call something like aniki is Kuzuryuu and that'd just be to see if he'd be happy about it or not. Ah, informally exchanging cups with a yakuza... In the end, with an acknowledging nod:] Tenka.
The Japan I'm from is probably... a lot further along in time than yours. If not different altogether. That's the things with places like this one.
[A gesture at the area around them before he shifts toward the dinosaur-costumed robot...]
no subject
[Thanks for offering though. But admittedly Tenka's not the type to ask for help in general... so if it's something like lifting this robot out of the way, he's just going to put his back into it and... yeah, definitely carrying it over to somewhere that it won't get in the way. Like it's a sack of potatoes and not a metal robot thing. Uh-huh.
But that's... a lot of obscure information in one sentence there, Hinata.]
So you really might be from the future? I mean, how do you have a different Japan...
[wouldn't they at least come up with a different name]
no subject
[Hinata looks sheepish, at least, considering how to word it.]
But... say, if a war happened. You might wonder what might've happened if the side that had lost had actually won. In fact, another world might already exist parallel to yours that had that result, and then that'd lead to a different Japan...
[A pause. He looks at Tenka, to see if he's following along.] I mean, the place I was in before was some kind of Earth, but it'd gotten messed up, run by this corporation somehow... definitely different from what happened in mine.
no subject
So are you saying... that even before you came here, you were somewhere that wasn't your home?
[That sounds... rough, to say the least.]
no subject
[Or, is it third? Should be count Jabberwock Island? No, but even then the islands were in the same world.]
So I'm familiar with this whole... different Earths and different worlds thing.
no subject
[Honestly that's all Tenka has to say for a moment, tilting his head thoughtfully. Then he's just shaking his head slowly.]
That's tough. I hope you get back home soon. Travel's great and all but... it sounds like you haven't been with your friends or family in a while, huh?
no subject
[He doesn't mention anything about his family, leaving Tenka to draw what he likes from that much.] Komaeda's still with me, even here. Sonia... she's still back in that place, I guess. I saw people I know from my world come and go there, though I made some good friends there.
But I do wanna get back someday soon.
no subject
Though he grins easily enough too.]
I'm sure you can then. I'm not sure how much I believe about our homes being destroyed, to be honest - but even then, I personally don't plan on resting until I can see my brothers again. Whatever that takes.
[And despite their circumstances, his tone holds no room for argument.]
no subject
[Hinata nods, looking more closely at Tenka at that tone of voice, his own expression contorting with thought, his knuckles raising to press against his chin. Well. He smiles slightly.]
Aa, I'm not planning on giving up until I can get back to my friends, either.
...We're all in this situation together, even if we're mostly all strangers. So we should work together toward finding our way out. [He says should but oh he remembers, remembers a friend (or not a friend, because she'd never said) levelling a gun at him, remembers the anger that came from those who betrayed them... it can't be helped, he'll just have to get to know everyone slowly.]
