//event003.EXE 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 [ 0001 ] 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.

//RUN.EXE Welcome to CEREALIA's latest intro post. For your convenience, we have compiled a post detailing everyone's arrival experience and a FAQ that should explain everything in more detail. Please read them thoroughly before playing. Thank you!

[prosecutory]

[Edgeworth hears a voice and turns to see the speaker. He does not recognize her, but perhaps she had been paying attention to the other names and faces being broadcast all over, so she must have caught his name.

For a moment, he tears his attention away from her and focuses on the droid again. His sword grazes its metal fingers with a shrill sound.]

Hardly. [He leaps back. When he ducks to kick the droid's legs, it jumps at the precise time to avoid his foot.] These are mine.

[fairbrook]

[While to Integra it did not appear as if he recognized her, she could be wrong. What with all this world hopping, it wasn't surprising to her either. Still, so long as she remembered him she figured she'd milk her share of amusement out of it all the same. It was fun (to her) watching him flip out.]

It's just amusing is all. Last time we had met, you could barely put up a fight.

[Not that she is searching for a fight, mind. She exhales the smoke from her lungs, emitting a dark chuckle.]

[prosecutory]

["Last time we had met"...?

That throws Edgeworth off sufficiently that the droid's katana narrowly misses slicing his arm off. He has to dive to the ground and then promptly block the incoming strike with a resounding clink. While their swords are locked, he glances at Integra.]

I apologize, you must be mistaken! [Those words are said through gritted teeth as Edgeworth slowly raises himself back onto his feet while he and his opponent still have their swords crossed. But she was right, once upon a time, he could barely put up a fight.]

[fairbrook]

[Oh, yeah... he is still in imminent danger. Might as well assist him. When Edgeworth falters against the droid, Integra unsheathes her own blade gracefully hacking into some of the flimsier metal.

Still watching the droid carefully, she gives a hearty chuckle at Edgeworth's words.]

I'm hardly surprised you don't remember me, sir. What with all this travel between worlds, one is bound to forget eventually. [Trust her, she's already dealt with two other renditions of the man.] This would be, [a pause] the third time we've met?

[Integra, stahp.]

Sir Integra Hellsing.

[prosecutory]

[Edgeworth nods his thanks as he is now free to disengage. One feint and complex pass later, the droid's katana goes flying over its shoulder. The prosecutor can't help but end that move with a flourish of his saber, and takes this time to look at Integra.

So, it was like those times people returned to Death City without memories, was it? Was it? His travels through time and space and across worlds are truly migraine-inducing. He sighs wearily.]

I must admit, I've come across people who forget their trips to other worlds, but to remember an alternate world and forget another where one has been sighted...is unheard of.

I regret that we are unable to meet at a more auspicious time, Sir Hellsing.
