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.

I could do without the whole criminal thing, but I guess it wasn't a bad workout.
no subject
Criminal? [ he blinks, taking a second to let that sink in, before catching on to what she means. ] Oh, right. Those things have been going haywire all week... I wouldn't let that bother you too much. [ pause. ] Well, they're a little more dangerous than they were before, but it doesn't seem like that's going to cause you much trouble.
[ though, since she's the first of this new group to show up, he can't help but ask... ] You guys aren't really behind that virus, are you?
no subject
... [ There's a sigh, before Yang rests her hands on her hips. ] Look, I get that we just met and all you know about me is that I've got a good-looking mugshot, but I take responsibility for my actions. [ now. Mostly. When it counts. Shh. ] I don't know anything about a virus and if I was going to get chased after, it'd be for a better reason!
no subject
Sorry. [ he'd more or less asked the question just to be sure, but he can understand why she'd be frustrated. ] Everybody's just a little on edge right now... that virus really made a mess of things.
It doesn't make any sense to blame you guys though. CERES brought you here like the rest of us, didn't they? [ ...at least, he assumes so. he's not sure how else anyone new would get here. ]
no subject
Yeah, I got the whole spiel, right before something tried to stab me. [ As long and slightly alarming as it was. ] But is this virus really a big deal?
no subject
Well, I'm not sure how dangerous it is. If anything, it's just been inconvenient... and it's made the robots act strange. [ a frown. ] That might be why that thing was trying to kill you.
Not the best welcome, but trust me. It could be worse.
no subject
[ It's still a lot to take in. Yang's just doing it a little bit at a time. ]
no subject
[ .........okay after he lets that sink in a bit, he realizes it actually doesn't seem entirely awful on its face. ]
Er... it was worse than it sounds.
no subject
no subject
But the food they gave us was bad. [ he could explain that they secretly served them alien meat that drove them all crazy, but... don't want to freak the poor girl out too much right away. ] Really bad.
no subject
Like food poisoning bad?
no subject
Except ten times worse.
no subject
[ Ludger, please, she can take it. ]
no subject
They fed us burgers. But they didn't tell us what those burgers were made out of. [ he'll let her imagination fill in that blank. ] Nothing really happened at first, but after a while it started making people see things. And other stuff.
[ he scratches his forehead a little, just to make sure it's still normal. ] I grew scales.
no subject
[ Yang no bad. ]
no subject
Yeah... I had to go on a quest to find a cure. [ wow when he puts it like that, it sounds really corny. ] CERES is usually pretty welcoming for newcomers, so I'm not sure what's going on this time.
[ unless they really are behind the virus, but... no, that can't be. ]
no subject
[ yeah no, and she sighs a split second later. ]
I'll give them points for creativity, but I'd like a better greeting committee.
no subject
[ ...he assumes so, anyway. not that he imagines a complaint will do much good. ]
I'm sure this is all just a big misunderstanding anyway. It should blow over soon. [ a pause. ] Just... make sure not to get killed before then.
no subject
[ No, she just wasn't planning on dying. ]
no subject
[ well, if she says so. ] Should I go find a cute guy then? [ at 2 in the morning... ]
no subject
Let's start with your name, and I'll take that for now.
no subject
Ludger Will Kresnik. What about you? [ ...actually he sort of remembers seeing her name on the wanted announcements, but he might as well ask. ]
no subject
[ no one uses her full name anyway. ]
no subject
[ pause. ] We should probably get somewhere safer, before another one of those things shows up.
