TEAM ETHANOL

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 Ethanol roster: Almedha, Augustine Sycamore, Chuuya Nakahara, Heine Rammsteiner, Izumi Sena, Kazuma Kiryu, Nui Harime, Peko Pekoyama, Rosalind Lutece, Weiss Schnee, Yukiko Amagi, Zaveid. 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? > ethanol CONFIRMED. TEAM ETHANOL MISSION PARAMETERS? PLEASE BE ADVISED SYSTEM ENERGY LEVELS ARE CRITICALLY LOW. > make contact with sysadmin > contact point entrance 6 > 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 ETHANOL 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 Ethanol's access point is in the Recollé Graveyard. Team members will find the grave of "G. Mahoney" will move aside to reveal catacombs so long as they approach it in groups of two or more team members. Only Team Ethanol team members can see or enter the catacombs 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 Ethanol 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 Ethanol is as follows: WEEK 1: Objective 1; CLEAR: M. Mahoney WEEK 2: Objective 2; IC mission briefing; CLEAR: W. Guo 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!

Comments

meetup and maybe catacombs;

[originallutece]

[It doesn't take Ros long to decide to head towards where her app is leading her (although she's the sinking sense of walking straight into a trap as she does). It being in the graveyard doesn't help her sense of unease much, but seeing someone else will. Still, she's poking around, looking at the names on the graves and glancing down at her phone as she does.]

[burningblossoms]

[Yukiko's quick to follow instructions, practically blazing her van to the cemetary and when she arrives, she begins looking for people that seem like they're checking stuff out. Ros is clearly it.]

Hello? Are you...[She holds up her phone with the app open, clearly a little shaken.]

[originallutece]

Yes.

[That's all that's needed to confirm nowadays, it seems. Rosalind's expression is neutral, but it's a careful neutral, suggesting that it's more a mask than a true feeling of calm. Tucking a stray strand of hair behind her ear, she nods.]

Dr. Lutece. I assume you received a strange steam of coding on your phone? All that . . . team nonsense, and accessing, and those names?

[burningblossoms]

That's right. I'm Yukiko Amagi. A...freshman. Or I will be, this fall.

[She's holding herself together at least enough to seem calm, if shook up.]

I'm sorry Doctor. Does any of this make sense to you?

[adoringpast]

[ yeah, the graveyard does have that effect on people - even moreso with the recent happenings in the city. nevertheless, sena is here on his... um. trusty steed? please don't judge him, he really doesn't have a choice in the matter.

he does spot the doctor, who he's seen around the university as a professor but he's not under any of her classes at all. nevertheless, he hops off his horse, ties it to the nearby fence, and leaves it to graze on his own as he quietly approaches her. ]

...You here for the app too, professor?

[doublesmall]

Fancy meeting you here, professor.

[Chuuya is definitely less shaken than he could be; this is all worrying, honestly, but- it's something to do. A direction to go. He'll take this over aimless worry, even if it turns out to be some kind of trap, because at least it isn't sitting at home or having no starting point to work from.

so here he is, taking a seat on a headstone and poking at his own phone.]

Not so sure if being here is a good thing yet, but at least it's not all with strangers, huh?

[megabond]

[Considering how long he's been on the app right now, Augustine knows that following the map is the only way to figure out what is happening here. But even he remains calm despite their current location, Modeste, on the other hand, feels uncomfortable to the point she has to walk near her human friend to get around.

However, what he didn't expect was a familiar face. Well, familiar since he used to see her passing by back in the university. He just hopes that she doesn't mind seeing a dragon with him.]

Well, this is a surprise.

[sivard]

[He really doesn't want to go tromping around in a graveyard, but here he is.]

....Funny seeing you around here.

[He looks a little put off by the scenery, but he's clearly annoyed enough at the app to both show up, and look like he's ready to figure out what's behind the mess of code. And the damn monsters.]

[judgementkazzy]

[ Ah, so they're all having a graveyard adventure. Good to know he wasn't the only one. ]

Professor-sa... Professor. Nice to see you.

[ He almost called her Professor-san, Majima is officially a bad influence. But there's other people here too, this must be what they meant by Team Ethanol. ]

Are we supposed to be looking for these Fitzwilliam and Mahoney guys?

[smothershadow]

[There were many things that irritated Amelia, but few things did more than that.

Being unable to contact her son was one of those few things. It drove her into a panic, and she grasped onto the first clue that even gave her a slight hint hook, line, and sinker.

The tall woman didn't quite run, but her steps were definitely hurried. Amelia didn't seem very bothered by the graveyard, but seeing someone else was still a relief.]

Hello- [wait, she did need to pause for a few breaths] -do you remember Kurt Wagner?

[It was an oddly specific question.]
