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.

oh man YES i would love for miles to deal with tali freaking out. miles is going to be pretty much in his element here, he's combat and command-trained and thinks well on his feet, so he'd be more or less prepared to help tali out. niko's also told him that they had to destroy a planet before, so he'll be at least a little aware of what's up with her.

HAHA SORRY TALI, she can yell at him about it when he comes back to life :') also, if you want, tali can give ivan and gregor a death offering to burn for miles, which is the custom on barrayar -- it's something personal, usually a lock of hair, but it doesn't have to be. ivan & gregor will be collecting death offerings to burn for miles after clark gives them the news, so :B

Usually Tali would be a hell of a lot better under pressure - but by the time they're evacuating, it's like... yeah, she's seen this before. She did this before. ahaha I think if she realises Miles knows, she'll be pretty terrified. Your friend finding out you committed genocide/...whatever the word for planetary destruction is (stellacide...?), that one time? Kind of a bad moment.

Aww, that's really sad damn you ;; Yeah, a lock of hair would actually be good. Her hair's sort of weirdly important to her? It would have been easier to go bald wearing an envirosuit, but she wanted to keep that one thing of her own, so.

OH NO TALI.... ;; it's okay, miles already knows they were forced to do it, so he can assure her he's not judging or anything. he's dealt with things like combat paralysis before, so if she seems like she's really freaking out, he'll make sure she gets back to the ship safely ;w;

oh man then yeah GO FOR IT. i'm not sure how read & ammay are going to handle it exactly, but they'll probably ask for death offerings from any of miles' friends who want to give them.
