Open Event: FEEDING FRENZY! (3/25-31)

[aminerproblem]

 

Summary
On March 25-March 31. the Moira will be suffering from an infestation of scraplets, making a mangled mess of the ship's systems as they chew their way through its internal workings. They will then try to make meals of any non-fleshy crewmates that happen to cross them until they are exterminated from the ship.

What are Scraplets?
A horrid mix of termites and flying demon pirahnas, Scraplets are a pest from the planet Cybertron. They consume anything and everything metal, and make mincemeat of Cybertronians in large enough hordes. Although they can basically eat giant robots alive, they are harmless to anything that isn't food. They are even shown to be friendly to organic species, as long as they have no metal bits to them.

A lone scraplet is a pomeranian-sized bug-like robot with deceptively adorable eyes, and can generally easily be destroyed by itself. The problem is that there's never just one of them.




One of the greatest killers to stalk the surface of Cybertron.

TIMELINE

PART 1: Arrival (ICly, March 25)

Due to Megatron's Space Bridge increasing in activity, a  frozen canister will be spit out of his chest portal into the cargo bay. After the canister thaws, the scraplets will begin to chew their way out and make their way into the Moira.

PART 2:  Escalation (ICly, March 26-29)

As the infestation begins to spread, they will begin to make a mess of the internal systems: Lights may go out, doors may stop working, there might be leaks in places you'd least want them. Scraplets have a preference for living metal, though, so the horde will eventually gnaw to the surface and try to attack and eat any crew members that happened to be made of their favorite food source.

PART 3: Counterattack (ICly, March 30-31)

The infestation will start to threaten critical systems if left unchecked, and will need to be taken care of. Because the Cybertronians on board are(mostly) from another continuity, they won't immediately recognize the scraplets for what they are and will pretty much be on the same page as everyone else.

By now it will be known that:

• There's a horde on the ship
• They consume any and all metal, metal on living beings is preferable
• They ignore everything else
• They are vulnerable to the cold

So they will need to smoke them out and get rid of them, through cold or the void of space. The event will be played in a catch-all log for whoever would like to participate! The plot is OPT IN, so you can feel free to participate however you'd like. However, those interested in being part of exterminating them should sign up so that I can keep track of who will do what for the Counterattack phase of the plot.
