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.

With a quick step to correct her balance, she's putting on a burst of speed to close the distance between her and the droid, ducking underneath a more wild swing and flipping herself into the air-- just to come back down with a fiery punch that sends Rin's attacker (and part of the ground) crumbling.
There are a few embers drifting away from her when she straightens. ]
Your aim's not bad.

And if there is anything more damaging to his pride at the moment, it's the fact that once again, he's relying on her to bail him out and take out the robot for him. Thhat she does so without breaking a sweat or even looking nervous about the ordeal isn't lost at him at all, and Rin just stares at the scene dumbfounded, not sure how else he should react. ]
...Yours either. You're- you're not human, are you?
[ She can't be, though that doesn't answer what she might be instead. ]
I mean, thanks... for taking it out and saving me, but what you just did is impossible! I don't know anyone who can pack a punch like that.

[ Is this some weird new age spiritualism nonsense? No, obviously it's true to some extent. She just punched a robot into uselessness. Damn it, even if it's weird, that's impressive... he's feeling a little out of his league here since he doesn't exactly have any practical combat skills.
He glances awkwardly to the side for a moment before trying a nicer approach- ]
I mean- ...how are you able to use it? Is it something I can learn?

[ He has a feeling it's going to be something ridiculous. How else would he have missed it after being alive for seventeen years? He looks at her with determination, ready to try what she has in store.
Assuming it's not weird or something that will hurt his dignity. ]
Show me.

Later then. When we're not being chased by one of those crazed, out-of-control robots.
[ He's still not even sure that's the last of them which means he should get moving fast. He pulls out the card they left him with, showing it to her. This might be the best place to take cover for now or rather... the only place he can think of to run to. ]
I'm going to check out where this card leads in the meantime. Up for a detour?

Let's stop standing around here and wasting time then. The more we move, the harder it'll be for them to find us anyway. I'm not going to give them another shot to take off my head.
[ He starts running ahead, hoping he's going in the general direction of the building and letting her follow along. ]
[ ooc: we can FTB here as they go on their merry way away from the killer robots. ]
