TEAM COGNAC

After that strange Retrospec post, you may be wondering how to contact this "technician". Luckily, your phone or whatever device you have handy to check the network chooses that exact second to go haywire... Team Cognac roster: Allen Walker, Aradia Megido, Fai D. Flourite, Fuuka Yamagishi, Grell Sutcliffe, Laurent, Mafuyu Kurosaki, Mako, Mohammed Abdul, Pitou, Prompto Argentum, Roronoa Zoro, Tsurumaru Kuninaga. On whatever device you use to view the retrospec application, you may note the following scrolling on the screen instead of the usual options: ALERT: CRITICAL TIME-SPACE ANOMALY ACTIVE. SEARCHING FOR ADMIN... SEARCHING FOR ADMIN... DESIGNATED ADMIN CANDIDATE: EMPLOYEE #91962 M. MAHONEY PLEASE INPUT AUTHORIZATION CODE. The prompt does not seem to be for you, however, as the text prompts continue to scroll, this time with some input. > ********************** ACCEPT ADMIN STATUS Y/N? > y DESIGNATE PROGRAM TO RUN. PLEASE BE ADVISED WE ARE SYSTEM CRITICAL. > run subroutine designation echolocation-alpha CONFIRMED. EMPLOYEES ACTIVE IN AREA: 2 > list employees EMPLOYEES ACTIVE: M. FITZWILLIAM LEVEL 0 ACCESS, INTERN M. MAHONEY FULL SYSTEM ACCESS, ADMIN > search for alternative assets CONFIRMED. SENDING ALTERNATIVE ASSET LIST. Names scroll by on the screen. and look, there goes yours! It seems like someone is manually picking and choosing from a list of every Retrospec user who didn't disappear into the void, and several names queue up. > initialize support team CONFIRMED. TEAM DESIGNATION? > cognac CONFIRMED. TEAM COGNAC MISSION PARAMETERS? PLEASE BE ADVISED SYSTEM ENERGY LEVELS ARE CRITICALLY LOW. > make contact with sysadmin > contact point entrance 8 > temporary access level 1 granted CONFIRMED. MISSION PARAMETERS SET. TEMPORARY ACCESS LEVEL 1 GRANTED. The screen clears itself, and instead of the familiar retrospec logo, there is simply TEAM COGNAC as a designation. the application will refuse to show anything other than a map, with one point highlighted in red. it is, of course, up to team members to decide whether or not they approach the access point. Team Cognac's access point is in the Recollé Subway System. Team members will find they can travel further in the subway system so long as they approach it in a group of two or more team members. Only Team Cognac team members can see or enter the subway system sublevels at this time. Please see the Objective 1 toplevel for more information on what they can see when they travel further down the tunnels. This is the Team Cognac Event Log. You are free to toplevel and thread as you choose on this log, but only team members may utilize this log. Important links to mod toplevels are: Mod Questions & Participation Reporting. Please be aware you are responsible for reporting your own participation & objective completion efforts with links; the moderators will try to keep up with threads, but as we are currently running several teams with participation, we require you to keep us up to date! Please read each of the toplevels and instructions! The schedule for Team Cognac is as follows: WEEK 1: Objective 1; CLEAR (M. Mahoney); Maurice WEEK 2: Objective 2; Team 1 IC briefing; Team 2 IC briefing WEEK 3: Objective 3; IC mission briefing 24th: Objective 3 closes (8PM EST), Final city-wide log posted (9PM EST) Objectives will be given in mod toplevels to this post with instructions; please check the log currently for Objective 1 to see how this will work. NPC interactions will be rnged from your team roster once per week, and toplevels for those will also be posted, although all team members can hear/see these interactions!

WEEK THREE IC MISSION-GIVING

[recollecters]

[ while ronnie isn't at the same location he was before, he does set up an armchair in the terminal room. he'll be reading a magazine for most of the week.

his briefing is as follows: ]

Ah, you'll want to clear out the rest of the issues in the subway rooms here. Shouldn't be too difficult, I don't believe.

[ that appears to be as much direction as he'll give...but he's not the chattiest member of the team. however, he is available for advice or questions relating to the objectives until they have been met for the remainder of the week; ronnie may decline to discuss other things, but may occasionally entertain them depending on mod tag load. ]

[prometheanflame]

[Ronnie is a cool dude, Mohammed will chat with him first.]

How is the subway doing? Any more problems there?

[recollecters]

[ as a note, ronnie will be a little slow as the mods dole out assignments, but since i had this open: ]

Oh, nothing I can't deal with for the time being. As soon as things are entirely cleaned up, it will be better.

[prometheanflame]

The unreality going on? [Obviously. Candyland is fine and all, but sugar is kind of annoying when it's all over the tracks.] Do you mean it'll be usable when the monsters are gone?

[recollecters]

No, I shouldn't think so. That would require more fixing than can be done currently.

[prometheanflame]

Why don't you have more employees working on this? It isn't fair to leave everything to you.

...How long as Retrospec run the train system?

[surprising]

[ after hugging it out in the tundra, rindou returns from room 13's investigation with a coin in hand.

once he sees ronnie in his funky armchair in the terminal room, he waves, then quickly makes his way over. ]

Hello! Ronnie, right? What exactly do we do with these?

[recollecters]

[ ah. ronnie will hold out one hand. ]

It's part of the toll. I'll take it, if you like.

[surprising]

[ ...toll? he assumes ronnie won't just go running off with their hard-earned coins, but — ]

What toll?

[recollecters]

For information.

[surprising]

Is that information you've already given us, or are you going to tell us something new after we give you each coin?

[browbeater]

[he holds up a coin in his one good hand.]

Heard we were supposed to give these to you.

[recollecters]

Thank you.

[ ronnie will hold out one hand for the coin ]

[browbeater]

[and he's depositing it!]

What are these supposed to... be, exactly? Since the rooms are weird enough.

[recollecters]

They're part of the toll.

[livingdeadgirl]

[O hai Ami and Mohammed are back from room 11! Ami holds out an odd coin to Ronnie.]

We found another one!

[recollecters]

[ ronnie will take the coin. ]

Well, you're all making good time.

[anguinous]

[ Laurent has returned from telling secrets to room 8, and after studying Ronnie for a long moment holds out the mysterious coin to him. ]

I believe we are to give these to you?

[recollecters]

[ ronnie takes the coin. ]

That would seem to be the case.

[anguinous]

I can't say it's a currency I'm familiar with, it seems as if it should be in a museum collection.

[ Also, it was previously an orb. Laurent's just sayin', seems a little unusual here. ]

[recollecters]

And should you be familiar with everything?

[mercurio]

[prompto heads on over to ronnie, showing him the coin he, fuuka, and noah recovered from their room with the skeleton looking for a dance show.]

Hey, here's another.

[recollecters]

Thank you very much, young man. [ ronnie will hold out his hand for it. ]

[flowrite]

[Late in the week, Fai wanders over to Ronnie with the coin from room 10 in his outstretched palm.]

Is this something you need?

[recollecters]

It is.

[ then this happens ]
