Arc III Arrival (OOC)

[savmods]

Welcome to Arc III!

The dust is settling, characters have arrived in the new setting, and there's work to be done...but also the opportunity to rest. This month, characters will have the opportunity to explore their new home base and learn about the changes that await them before travel to other world resumes. Players are encouraged to use the new locations page and the arrival log's highlighted points of interest as a guide to the setting, but you are absolutely not limited to those. Along with asking any general questions you have, you are invited to use this post to ask questions regarding specific activities your character might undertake in the new setting. (Ex. "They spend two straight weeks flipping through every printed book in the library—what's the No. 1 most interesting thing they can find?") We'd like to note that some locations may undergo changes as characters explore and improve things—we will be updating as we go depending where they focus their time and attention. The Locations page, Housing page, and FAQ should be more or less up to date, but other game info pages will be expanded and spruced up in the immediate future. Please pardon our dust, and feel free to let us know if you spot anything seriously out of order! Some fun things are planned—we hope you enjoy the ride.

Chilltober: Updates and Upcoming

While things will be much calmer this month compared to the last two, a much lower-key surprise awaits characters later in October. If you would like to participate in this miniplot, please comment here to list one thing your character misses, enjoys, or would like to see from home. (Those who play multiple characters can choose one for each.) It can be an item, such as a favorite book, or it can be a concept, such as the smell of one's kitchen back home. It does not have to be from the character's canon point. However, it cannot be sentient. We're also glad to announce that the promised player plotting page is up! This form is intended to provide a more structured way of pitching plots you'd like to run or general ideas you want to suggest for possible mod-run plots. We do not intend to have a rigid schedule for player plots; their frequency will depend on the number of plots submitted and the scope of each, as well as what we have planned for mod-provided plot in a given month. Due to the combination of last minute modwork and last minute apps, processing for new arrivals is taking slightly longer than expected. Watch this comm—or our modplurk—for an update and an OOC intro post when acceptances go out! We'll be getting to that as quickly as we can; thanks very much for your patience! Finally, please remember to check in at this month's activity check!

Questions/Comments

[notyetsore]

I feel like I might have missed an answer to this somewhere, but what will happen regarding the mental states of those who were captured and brainwashed by the Savrii? Will the brainwashing be undone now or have to be worked through over time?

[tearsinajar]

CAT TREE?? Is it possible to regrow somehow? 😢

[squadgoals]

So yes it's been 300 years BUT

NORMANDY SECURITY: IS THERE ANYTHING LEFT

[welcomeprofessor]

I didn't see this on the housing post, but I may have missed it somewhere, just point me elsewhere if I have. In regards to the units/suites/whatever, are these rooms with a shared common space, or is this more like a studio space with open bunks?

Re: Questions/Comments

[warandpeace]

Will the away team wake up about anywhere or are chances higher they'll be in the Ingress Memorial?

[gentlemenpreferblondes]

How do characters know it's future? Will there be calendars or logs to be found with the information?

[shiro2hero]

Since Sideswipe is... about fifteen feet tall... is the space station large enough to accommodate him or will he have to hang out in one area most of the time?

[mylawn]

Is the network/personal inboxes more or less functional right away? NEVERMIND I can read. Thanks guys!

Re: Questions/Comments

[impeccableorigins]

The previous post said something about some Savrii being picked up by the shards of light...did they end up here too? I.e. are there NPCs?

Is the description of the Ingress Station as it used to be still available anywhere?

Also, is there any reason not to make up past residents of the station doing the things that the location descriptions imply were done in each place?

[deal_me_in]

What sort of information can be gathered/looked up through the computer system's records? It's what Cayde and his Ghost would dig into first thing. Would a full layout of the station be accessible, even though only some areas are able to be reached as of yet?

Also how far back does any pertinent information go, anything that might stick out in particular, notices, events.

[welcomeprofessor]

I hate to have to be the person who has to ask about accessibility stuff on the housing floors, esp the communal bathrooms, but can I ask how that set-up works? I'm having a hard time working around it.

[seeingscarlet]

Is there anywhere large enough to park a small ship that got rescued in a pac-disc? I know it can't go anywhere, but it could be useful as extra housing.

[skelepun]

to steal your own prompt (with slight boozey adjustments): Sans is spending two straight weeks sipping a lifted bottle of vinegar from the bar and flipping through every printed book in the library. He's also going to be sleeping in there, whoops.

What's the No. 1 most interesting thing he can find?

Re: Questions/Comments

[gridfather]

Flynn's taking a crack at repairing the network transmitter and modding some of the communicators. How successful can he be with it?

[araignee_du_soir]

Using her infravisor to track heat/life signatures, can Widowmaker get any kind of reading on the pests that are calling Avagi home along with them?

[lavelly]

Lavellan's getting a bit of a jump start on cultivating the greenery into something people can use. What varieties of plantlife already exist there? Or, well, I'm sure it's all alien, but is there anything analogous to familiar species/anything edible?

[prorenataa]

Adrien is spending most of his time working on getting all the equipment in Medbay up and running.

He would also work on any available R&D equipment (including what he has in his pacdisc) to start trying to replicate any and all available medicines to start warehousing.

[neveroutwrenched]

Ratchet is spending a lot of his time experimenting with the taskbots...namely not very useful things, but in an effort to actually maybe learn something about the technology of the ship! And just...for fun.

[beautifulspaceraptor]

Nihlus will be attempting to get a better layout of Life Support and Sanitations, mostly looking for blueprints/manuals/instructions from the previous residents about how everything works. He wants to know all of this so that he can fix things should they ever break down. How feasible will this be?

In addition to this, he will be modifying a few power outlets throughout the station so that they will act, essentially, as 'drinking fountains' for the local Programs. Will there be anything that will stop this endeavor?

[gentlemenpreferblondes]

Regarding the mini-event:

The locations will turn into normal but if character takes items (like food and drinks from Grillby's bar) will those last past the event? :)

ANOTHER QUESTION

[skelepun]

Regarding the library. Again.

If Sans goes on a hunt Very Specifically for reference to a person named 'Siddony' would he find anything.

Late but IMPORTANT

[magneticfields]

Is the birth control still working

Erik doesn't need any more kids
