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!

[Yep, that works. The mummies lurching steps start to follow their insulter, and they rapidly pick up speed, shuffling after her. All...five of them.]

Oh...crap! Uh!

[She darts after Weiss, bringing her fan in to slice at one's exposed back. It...barely seems to notice, given that it's dead and all...]

Hey! Try leading them towards the room with the big cage! I have an idea!

[heiroglyphs]

A cage? Are we even going to be able to trap those things?

[Grumble grumble, turning back to the mummies.]

You have tiny pyramids! I bet the other mummies laugh at you!

[burningblossoms]

There's something in the room we can use!

[Several somethings. Though she's sending her Persona in to try and thin the herd some, that big sword slashing at bandaged arms and legs.

And they definitely don't like that...]

[heiroglyphs]

[Vera is just going to take cover, ducking behind the entryway to the next room, rapier gripped in her hand.]

Come on, you idiots, get in here...

[burningblossoms]

[They follow, stupidly, into a room filled with large sarcophagi. And that's where Yukiko springs into action. Her persona streaks forward and grabs the lid of one of the tombs off the floor where Chuuya had left it, and comes in swinging it at the nearest mummy like a club.

-Whud-]

Okay! That's one! Help me keep these things in here so she can finish them off!

[heiroglyphs]

[Oh thank god they actually get trapped in there. Vera makes sure all of the mummies are in the room before moving in front of the door to slash at any of the monsters that might be trying to make their way out. She isn't sure if her sword can even hurt them, but at least she's cutting some bandages?]

[burningblossoms]

[Well there is flesh underneath...so maybe?

Either way, the mummies...confused, start rushing towards Vera and Yukiko. Yukiko moves out in front and starts slicing and slashing, but leaps to one side after a mummy catches her sleeve and tears it away.

Her Persona comes in hard with that big slab of stone and squashes another flat, but it begins to crumble some...]

Go for their legs! Take those out so they can't run after us!

[heiroglyphs]

This isn't exactly a greatsword, you know. I don't think they'll care if I cut their Achilles.

[She unfortunately lacks the strength or sharpness to sever limbs, but it's a better plan than she's come up with. When one of the mummies lunge at her, she quickly dodges to the side, dropping low and delivering a spinning slash to the back of its ankles.]

[burningblossoms]

So? Go for the knees!

[Down comes the huge coffin lid, splattering another monster. Yukiko darts in and out too, slashing and carving at the creatures with her fan...just doing her best to slow them down.]

[heiroglyphs]

You just have all the answers, don't you?

[Still crouching, she spins to the side as another rushes past her. A quick slash across the knees is followed up by a stab in the back of the thigh.]
