It's event time!
November

Hello everybody! It's time for an event and our first big player plot! Everything you need to know is below, and since there's a lot to do with this one, feel free to respond to this post with your plotting comments. (There's a form below to help with that).

November 18th and Onward

At the beginning of the month, the crew disembarked the Moira to gather supplies on Caducus Primary. The natives were friendly and accommodating, though strict in what they did or didn't allow, and everything was going as planned. On the twelfth, the crew received a half-veiled threat to leave the planet. The representative reiterated that the crew had four days to finish up and leave. They made no further contact and didn't pressure the Moirans to leave; all seemed well.

By the 18th, two days after the deadline, the natives will abruptly begin to force any lingering crew off the planet. The time has passed, and they waited longer, but feel as if their goodwill is being abused. Any and all crew members still on planet will be roughly seized and extracted. If you fight back, they will attempt to subdue you, and if you go willingly, they will be no less rough.

The Glass Shatters

Due to a bit of bad luck, and a whole lot of aggressive handling, crew member Bruce Banner will be triggered. The Hulk, unfortunately, is now causing enough damage and force that the fragile and brittle buildings and sculptures are breaking. The buildings begin to sway and bow, glass pieces the size of cars and houses raining down on civilians and crew members as they crack and give way.

In the chaos and panic, the on-planet Ingress is damaged, resulting in a wave of energy strong enough to penetrate the planet's core. The brittle planet, much like the glass that adorns it, starts to crack open and the natives issue a planet-wide evacuation. Within 48 hours, all crew standing anywhere on the Moira with a view of the planet will stand witness as it splinters open, and then folds into itself. The only survivors are those that made it onto the Moira, a transporter, or one of Caducus Primary's many evacuation shuttles.

"I am the keeper of fragile things and I destroy what is mine."

For this event, characters can choose to do any number of things. There will be the opportunity to help Clark Kent try to stop the Hulk, creating safe areas for civilians to get out of the way of falling glass, coordinating rescue and evacuation efforts, and building a cage in the cargo hold of the Moira that will be used to hold the Hulk until he cools down.

Character(s): Ivan Vorpatril whatdidisay
Is your character going to help Clark with the Hulk: nope, ivan knows when he's outclassed
Safe Zones: yes!
Rescue and Evacuation: yes!! he's probably going to get injured at some point -- falling glass? whatever -- and have to go back to the moria at which point he will be doing his PUBLIC RELATIONS OFFICER duties and setting up some oddly efficient way for people to check in and find each other? he can do his job and he can still do it while putting as little effort towards it as possible!!
Cage Building: nah, he's got no skills for building things sorry guys.

ivan vorpatril is a man who knows his limits what can he say

[petridish]

Cloney's going into MID app development after this event and I'd love for her to get the idea to make some kind of check in app from Facebook his efforts here. They can chat, she could bring him some refugees, ???

[whatdidisay]

yes that sounds excellent!!

also hey cloney he's got a cousin who's a clone of his cousin i would love if that came up at some point, although she should probably talk to miles for less "he tried to kill me" details

[petridish]

Ooh, maybe some time down the tracked when she gets outed as a clone instead of the ~real~ Commander Shepard she's pretending to be!

[whatdidisay]

YES ABSOLUTELY


as is he just might try and flirt with her i'm so sorry

[petridish]

god I would be delighted, because she would be flabbergasted (who?? flirts with her??? and at a time like this?????)

[whatdidisay]

ivan vorpatril does, because he's literally incapable of not

it's a chronic condition

[petridish]

Sounds terrible.
