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.

[That answer comes easily, at least. He knew what Shinpachi was getting at originally, of course. But hearing someone who seemed otherwise so good-natured confirm that there were people here who were trouble is worth knowing. It's interesting, really.
... Hm.]
I will keep an eye out for the more troublesome of our group. [Because that's what he does.] As for myself... I am aware all you have is my word [and he's already cast as a criminal...rude much] but the only trouble I intend to cause is for our captors.
no subject
[ Of course Shinpachi knows that these matters aren't so simple, but hey, it's a good starting point. Besides, it's also just a general gut feeling. He can't say those are always right, considering for how long Kaoru managed to fool him, but it's served him well most of the time. ]
If it helps, you may wanna keep an eye out for a pompous guy with blonde hair and red eyes. You'll recognize him right away, he acts like the whole damn world belongs to him. [ It's true, okay, Kazama is practically borderline a parody of himself. ] He's a pain in the ass, so you probably want to avoid him.
no subject
If I was looking to cross swords with a captain of the Shinsengumi, I would prefer to do so in a more controlled environment.
[You know--for a proper match.
...Though he pauses at that, blinking. Red eyes...? That sounds...highly suspect (and very supernatural). If anything, Sousei's pretty well-versed in that. But.
welp.]
I will keep your warnings in mind.
no subject
But at least there's no time to express LOVE FOR SWORDFIGHTING here when things are a little more serious than that. And while Shinpachi's sort of grumpy due to a lack of sleep. No one wants to deal with his manchild mode. ]
Good. Seems like you may actually do pretty well here then.
.. as long as those green things with all the teeth don't attack again, anyway. [ the crocodiles.. sousei, you doN'T UNDERSTAND.. ]
no subject
No wait, understanding flew out the window.
What.]
Green things. With teeth.
[??????]
no subject
[ PRAISE YOURSELF LUCKY, SOUSEI.. and hope you never have to endure the terror that is crocodiles. Or having to deal with oversized reptiles. Shinpachi's taking enough for everyone else's share as well.. ]
I dunno if they're anywhere around here, but one of my friends got one of those CYBuddy versions of one, so I'm sure they're just hiding.. but I'll be ready when they decide to show up! [ Yeah. That didn't explain anything.
He probably doesn't even realise, honestly. Especially since he looks so oddly serious.. never make light of Shinpachi's reptile PTSD.. ]
no subject
??????
This is not clarifying anything. He keeps waiting for a sudden light of clarity.
And there is none. Nothing is forthcoming. Why.]
I...see. Then...if they should show up, I shall look towards your expertise. [???? the hell is happening here]
no subject
Ah, sounds great! I wouldn't want anyone inexperienced getting screwed over dealing with 'em, so just leave it to me!
[ He seems a little too excited about this, doesn't he.. but as much as he hates crocodiles, fighting reptiles is sort of his speciality by now. It's like a talent show and he's here to show off his riduclous talent he's just a little bit too proud of. ]
You can count on me..! [ At least that's true - Shinpachi is always a man of his word. Even when it comes to ridiculous shit like this. ]
no subject
But what is a crocodile.]
I... very well then.
[this is clearly a waste of time to pursue...]
Do you have any other wisdom to share? [signs point to no]
no subject
I guess.. depends on what you wanna know, y'know? I have a little bit of experience with this place already, even if most stuff here was new to me when I first got here.
[ Technology.. ]
no subject
Hm.]
I will return with further questions, should I have them. [It's hard to say right off the bat what he can or can't figure out for himself.]
...Your assistance has been [confusing] appreciated.
no subject
Yeah, got it. [ Not that Shinpachi realises just what the other guy is thinking though.. he just figures that somehow Sousei has most of this figured out already. He seems like a smart enough type.. Shinpachi guesses.. ]
I'll see ya around then.
[ It's impossible not to with how the group of people stuck here sure is smaller than in Zelien, honestly. ]
