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!

[ sena turns around and blinks at the newcomers. oh hey, another one of those gems! they're on a roll today. ]

Huh, least you guys didn't have to fight anybody. The skeleton we dealt with earlier wasn't too tough to deal with, but it's still super annoying.

[heiroglyphs]

Anything is easy to deal with when you blow it up. [She taps her foot.] If you cause a cave-in and trap us down here, I will never forgive you.

[Sigh.]

Well, at least we have half of these things now. Any word on how the others are doing?

[eyestitch]

Well, they're probably not dead yet! [Her dismissal is glib, but at least she doesn't have to worry about skeleton monsters showing up if she brushes the other groups aside like that.

Nui points at the star-shaped recession with her phone flashlight, putting on a nice light show. The flavor text may be on a break for now, but there's no denying the shiny console and it's toddler shape-matching setup. Maybe they should drop the star off, too, before they continue?]

This place seems pretty big...there's no way we've been through everything yet, right?

[recollecters]

[ the flavor text will do shit if they put the other thing in tbh ]

not a real tag

[eyestitch]

[THE FLAVOR TEXT DOESN'T NEED TO SASS US THE FLAVOR TEXT SAID IT WAS BIDING ITS TIME]

[megabond]

[Considering the recession of the sarcophagus has the same shape as his gem, Augustine didn't hesitate to put the gem inside it. Afterward, he turns his attention to the Ethanol members.]

You're right. Unless we have word on the others, I doubt we can continue our investigations on the other rooms.

[adoringpast]

Relax, I have complete control over my bombs.

[ just dismisses vera off with a wave of his hand ]

Anyways, guess we'll just have to wait for the others. Wonder how long we're gonna wait, though.

[heiroglyphs]

I don't plan on rotting in this crypt, you know. I'll drag them back if I have to.

[eyestitch]

If you rot away, you'll look like you belong down here, though!

[Her smile is totally chipper and cheery, so she's probably not taking a potshot at Vera.]

I wonder if we'll get another light show... [She taps her chin with her index finger, looking back to console.] Or maybe we should just start looking for that skull! [Why the skull...]

[judgementkazzy]

We're doing pretty good if we're only missing the skull.

[ Why a skull... Retrospec has some weird level designers don't they... Either way, they've now got the star in place so thanks Big Mac dragon, please take the wheel, flavor text. ]

Hopefully it'll show up soon.

[recollecters]

[ there is indeed another light show! you are still missing two things, however, the skull and the cube. ]

[eyestitch]

[She only cares about the skull because it's creepy, so she wanted to emphasize it! Obviously, duh, that didn't make her previous statement confusing or anything.

Also to avoid literally everyone living in this one thread, it's possible a new one will be made when the other 2 pieces are found, so we might be done here! Thanks, flavor text!]
