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!

[ the portal basically explodes behind them, and shimmers - then it becomes an...ordinary wall. wendy absently sheathes her sword and will, like, catch nui.

she looks mildly impressed. ]

The hell are you guys doing with that kind of firepower? But it worked, so nice job.

[ okay, she's...in the crypts. probably she needs to report to mahoney, but wendy seems all right for the second to just, like, chill outside of her stupid flower trap. FREEDOM. ]

[adoringpast]

[ and sena just... waves chuuya off because HIS CHILL COULD NOT BE LOCATED HERE APPARENTLY, CUT HIM SOME SLACK.

just give him a moment to catch his breath and then: ]

So... that's it? We-- We fixed the unreality there, right?

[ or did his bombs fucking destroyed the fabric of reality because uh

that's his bad ]

[doublesmall]

We got named team Ethanol, 'course we'd have firepower.

[listen someone had to do it.

chuuya shifts to sit properly, just chilling on the ground for right now, because now that he's resting after all that, the ninjas earlier and everything else-- well, it's going to take effort to get him back up again. he's tempted to just pull a nui and pass out here.]

And I sure as fuck hope that's it, I don't think I have it in me to deal with another ninja swarm or something.

[eyestitch]

Sena, if you made it worse, I swear...

[More kneecapping will probably happen, but there's not a lot of rage in her voice right now. This really isn't the life she imagined when she moved out to live on her own. She sighs, heavy-boned, and yawns.]

My legs hurt. Hope we get some answers soon...this is way above our pay grade, right? [Right? Right? The question is for anyone, but she's definitely ingratiating herself to...certain people...]

[recollecters]

No, that should cover it. It got rid of the twist. I mean, Mahoney or some of the others would probably call it reckless as fuck, but who cares if it works?

[ team ethanol's area-specific npc is their kind of person, probably, since wendy is like "why don't we just blow everything up, though". this probably won't end badly for anyone, ever! ]

I should probably report in to the Doc, if she's in charge. It's seriously just Mahoney and the intern?

[adoringpast]

[ this settles it - wendy is literally the coolest retrospec person sena has ever met. he manages a grin after panting and stretches out his arms. god, he's fucking tired. ]

That's basically how we roll. And yeah, those are the only people who showed up to us so far.

[ but with that's done, it's time to get out of here. he coolly waves a hand at nui - the piggyback offer is still up in the air if she still wants it. ]

[doublesmall]

Don't get any ideas, Sena, I don't wanna have to save your ass again.

[please...

but okay, okay, he'll push himself to his feet with a quiet groan and stretch out his arms-- the cut quickly reminds him it's still there, and chuuya winces, letting his arm drop.]

There's other groups looking for your people, from what I heard-- so hell, maybe they've got a couple back by now. One way to find out.

[he's lingering a bit before he leaves, though, if only to make sure that they're all making it okay. he'll help carry nui if he needs to.]

[eyestitch]

Yahoo! [With noticeably less energy than usual, but still seeming much like herself, Nui jumps onto Sena's back and locks her arms around his neck, getting into piggyback position.

She'll be fine, probably.]

Hey, thanks for the...you know, the not letting me get stabbed! The doc was hanging around just out here, kinda, but that was a while ago...

[Let's blow this popsicle stand, trusty steed.]

[recollecters]

[ for the record, wendy will go with them! and report to the doctor, in a thing i will write tomorrow/today at not 3:20am...

post that, wendy will be hanging around ethanol's area for their next week's thing, so she will be around to be talked to after the briefing, which will be able to be overheard by the people around, since yeah.

team ethanol has cleared their objective and wendy will talk to them more tomorrow... ]
