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.

iv.
[ It's abrupt, coming from above—because there's one Supergirl floating down from the sky towards him. ]
I saw you on the screens. [ Awkward... ] What a welcome, huh?
no subject
Well, maybe he should stop classifying things for now.
It's not like it's making any difference anyway, and she seems polite enough. In response to her bringing up those screens, he just blinks once, placidly. No, he's not bothered by the accusations. He's heard worse (presumably. Still not sure what a vending machine is.)]
I have heard that this is unusual. [A huff, faint and irritated.] It was not a problem for myself, but there are others who didn't look as though they could defend themselves.
[It's tough to make an accurate judgement based solely on the pictures, but...some of them looked like kids, okay.]
no subject
[ She comes down low enough to just barely scrape the toes of her boots along the ground, crossing her arms with a thoughtful look. ]
I'm going around asking people if they need help with anything, because of today. You seem to have yourself covered, though.
no subject
I am fine myself. I intend to also see to the safety of the others.
[Mostly because he can't quite shake the need to, when people are getting attacked by assassinbots when they haven't even done anything wrong.]
...You likely will be able to find them more quickly, however. You should search for the youngest.
[There's no way that tiny little girl was a) a criminal and b) capable of defending herself from assassinbots.]
no subject
[ Her tone can't get any more incredulous if she tried. Seriously. She knows of lots of villains who can appear as kids, but that was just unbelievable. ]
no subject
[His tone is as even as ever, but...well, he agrees with her incredulity, which he shows in a different way, namely by being as calm and logical as ever.
What a party pooper.]
That they have accused each of us of a crime without evidence makes it suspect enough, even before taking into account her age.
[So yeah no. Just no.]
no subject
Did they do anything for you, after all of that hassle?
[ She'll punch them if they didn't at least apologise. ]
no subject
Still, his eyes narrow, and there's some distinct disgust in his tone at this.]
They attempted to offer monetary compensation.
[aka they tried to buy him off, as far as he's concerned, and that's pretty irritating and offensive.]
no subject
[ WHAT A DESPICABLE THING TO DO, THOSE BASTARDS. Money is great but Kara's used to not worrying about it because she lived with someone back home and didn't... really eat much... or sleep much... so she just has the notion that people are obsessed with money. ]
Well, I'm sorry you had to go through that.
no subject
...You do not need to apologize. It was not your ineptitude or malice that led to this situation.
[He doesn't much see the point in taking responsibility when they're obviously this dumb.]
Your assistance on the other's behalf has been appreciated. [He probably couldn't have saved everyone, especially on unfamiliar terrain.]
no subject
[ And she pauses, smiling. ]
That's just what I do.
no subject
...Well, he could always ask, probably.]
I see. [But first, politeness.] My name is Abe no Sousei. [though it's...probably obvious from the billboards and televisions WHATEVER, HE DOESN'T CARE.]
no subject
[ She's still not aware that most people here haven't heard of superheroes with names like that.
Whatever!! ]
no subject
Supergirl, then. The pleasure is mine.
[He can be polite, at least--though then he nods.]
I won't take up more of your time, then.
no subject
no subject
It's appreciated.
[For now, he'll head on out to explore the city more, now that he has the time--but he'll remember this for certain.]
