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.

[ He gives her a cranky look in spite of having perked up a little at the mention of a "monster". One that likes beaches... come to think of it, she does look kind of like Haru. He should bother to ask him when he gets back if he's got a cousin in L.A. he never told him about...
or rather, if he gets back. He doesn't want to think about it, but that possibility is there, hanging in the air thickly. The thought that he might never see Haru again or race against him... even his friends...
He shakes his mind out of it before he can dwell on it and just awkwardly rubs the back of his neck. ]
Yeah, I know someone like that... he's really something. But are you really from Los Angeles? I always wanted to go. Hey, that means you must be pretty good at English, too.
[ He switches suddenly to talk to her- ]
I lived in Australia for a few years myself. Picked up the language while I was there. We should practice some time so I keep it fresh in my head when I move back.
[ If he moves back. Again, that thought is becoming oppressive and annoying, but he wants to have faith that he'll be able to continue on his career path when he returns. This can't be the end for them. ]
no subject
Though the remark about being good at English makes her lift an eyebrow with a slight smirk because she never lost her English accent from when she was staying in London with her family all those years back- it still got her teased at the Academy, though she realizes when he actually switches that they're all speaking some kind of unified language or being properly translated into non Google-translate speak.
Why did it take her so many months to figure that out?!
The shock of that is cut off when he finishes talking, and though it's very plainly obvious that he's more a Japanese than English speaker, it's kind of cute to hear it, and she replies- this time focusing on her own words to hear herself actually speak in English. ]
Australia sounds cool, though. Keep hearing that it's out to murder everyone, but I guess those shark teeth saved you, huh? This place translates everything automatically, but we can talk like this if you want.
[ She can't help but smirk, before cocking her head at him and motioning him over. ]
Come on, Matsuoka. Shoes first, verbal fun later. Don't want you catching fungal infection or something. You should tell me about your swimming stuff, too. It sounds like fun. Maybe I'll race you at the gym here.
[ Maybe he won't be so bad to hang out with, if he manages to survive this crazy day. Guess she'll have to look after him to find out. ]
no subject
[ He'd just unconsciously started speaking when he got here and assumed everyone had some working knowledge of Japanese. It hadn't occurred to him that he was speaking in any other language, which does make him wonder how they are all able to understand each other. It shouldn't be possible at all, should it? Not without doing something to their brains, which wouldn't be entirely unheard of. They were hooked up to some weird machine -a 'videogame'- when they got here.
Come to think of it, Rin's not even entirely sure he's out of the game, yet. All of this is still too hard to believe. He's never seen anything like it before or even heard of a place called Cerealia.
But she has a point. If he's going to get by anywhere, he has to avoid tetanus first. ]
Anyway, they said I had some money on this card they gave me, so just tell me where the stores are, and I'll be out of your hair.
[ He pauses, managing a small grin- ]
Though, I'll track you down later for a match some time. Let's see how good you are moving in the water.
[ He doesn't know if he'll even be here that long. Ideally, he'd like to get back to Nationals right away, but he's got to do something in between ...he doesn't even know where to start looking for a way out at this point. ]
