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
[Now he doesn't know what to expect.
Or believe, but he really knew that much from the start.
But is it too much to ask to want to have to deal with a corporation or a group of people who don't want something from them or have some ulterior motive and who aren't potentially using them for lab rats--]
no subject
Sousei just shifts his gaze to the city around them, before shaking his head shortly.]
It is irritating, but it certainly also brings a sense of relief.
[Quite frankly... he supposes being a bit more open with the people around him is something that's going to be necessary here, and this, at least, is easy to admit.]
Their claims of a destroyed Japan are more easily dismissed this way.
no subject
[Hinata smiles a little at that, nodding his head.
Mind you, his home was more-or-less destroyed, but while it's slowly recovering, he really doesn't want for something as ridiculous as this to have happened to it.]
You're right. And what they showed us... are things that can be fabricated or made some other way. I don't think we should trust what they've claimed.
no subject
[... ... and yet. Knowing that they are liars and can fabricate all of this does bring him a greater sense of peace than just his stubborn refusal to believe it.
Because...Japan is what's most important of all, and thinking that it may have possibly been destroyed was much too much.]
...But it is still worth knowing.
no subject
Yeah. There're a lot of things within their power that they could've done...
Though, I gotta wonder why they would've gone through the trouble.
no subject
It is easier to keep captives if they are demoralized and do not believe there is a place to escape to.
no subject
[He gestures with one of his hands, in the direction of one of these ways out.]
Except, it's not easy as just getting out. They sealed the exits, and probably monitor them too. I've been looking, and I haven't found a way yet.
no subject
[If they've sealed the exits...and Hinata hasn't found a proper way out...
Then they definitely are trapped.]
It's simply a gilded cage, then.
no subject
[Against CERES? For themselves? Either or.]
...though, yeah, that's just a guess on my part that there might be something useful out there.
no subject
[If only because then it's not their controlled environment.
Sousei pauses, and then shakes his head.]
That may be a worthy first goal, then.
no subject
Then, it's investigating their exits again... closer, this time. Seeing if there's not some kind of weak spot or at least a place that isn't as secure.
[For all he knows he could be uh doing something completely dangerous but.
Hey. Why not. (Wouldn't be the first time.)]
no subject
Rather--]
Do you have any combat experience?
no subject
[He hesitates before he says it and it seems like there's something a little deeper to his combat experience. Nevertheless.]
I can use most... forms of combat. I've mostly been fighting monsters for the last year or so.
no subject
...Like what?
[What sort of monsters are we talking here.]
no subject
[Hinata trails off. How best to describe them...?]
Most of them looked undead... the ones I dealt with. Sometimes, there'd be dog-like ones, or bear-like ones, or even ones sort of humanoid...
no subject
I see... But there are none of the like here?
[Which is good, because he's not near as good at the onmyouji nonsense as Ashiya is... he'd be in trouble, exorcising monsters.]
no subject
[Hinata frowns, his fingers rubbing at his chin.]
The only other monsters I've seen are in that video game, ViViD. There's the robots and stuff here, but.
