TEAM ETHANOL LOG

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!

Don't worry, I won't!

[Leaping off the ground just as the quake starts, she drives her fan into the small of the fire golem's back, her Persona stabbing ruthlessly at it's front. The monster, caught and really unable to hit Yukiko, takes a swing at the Persona. It ducks underneath, sword coming up to neatly sever one arm. Another cut, and more fire from Yukiko and the golem wobbles forward, almost collapsing.]

Close to done with this one!

[It...has huge guts. Rip and tear!]

Working on it--

[the ice golem doesn't seem to be smart enough not to attack something that's on one of the others, so it sends more ice at chuuya; he lets go of the rock golem just in time, leaving an ice slick spreading across it from the point where it was struck. it doesn't do much damage, but that's fine for now.

chuuya turns his attention back to his target, darting in and scaling it to search for a weak point. he's not sure a knife is going to cut it when it comes to slicing through rock, but if he can break it a bit...

he settle for weighting its head, leaving it top-heavy enough to start toppling forward when he pushes off of it to land behind the thing, and when it slams into the ground there are small cracks spiderwebbed through the rock. it's having trouble getting back up, and settles for chilling the area around it since it's blocked from firing.]


Hey, torch this one when you've got a sec!

[Another strike from Sumeo-Okami, this one aimed for the golem's head, takes it through the neck and sends it toppling over backwards. Yukiko leaps clear, slashing the back of it's knee as a final parting gift, and it drops to the ground and shatters, finished off.]

Coming!

[Holding out both hands, she lobs a fireball the size of a watermelon at his target, and then another, and another. These aren't that much effort, and hopefully that'll melt their ugly friend.]

Stay down you stupid thing!

[Out of the corner of her eye she spots something, the bigger golem lunging at her partner...]

Chuuya! The third one! Duck!
doublesmall: (hide & seek)

[personal profile] doublesmall 2017-08-20 10:58 pm (UTC)(link)
Shit-!

[he'd been busy watching her melt that ice golem, assuming their rock friend over there was still stuck-- he quickly ducks to the side as its foot crashes down where he'd been standing, barely keeping his footing as another small quake ripples out from the impact.]

Guess this guy doesn't stay still for long, huh...

[with a gesture at the ice coating its front, he adds-]

Try hitting it there!

[personal profile] burningblossoms 2017-08-20 11:09 pm (UTC)(link)
[Well that's good. Two down, just the big one to go, and he's given her a nice target.]

Right!

[Here comes the fireball, aimed right for it!]
doublesmall: (crop circles in the carpet)

[personal profile] doublesmall 2017-08-20 11:17 pm (UTC)(link)
[the ice didn't do much damage at first, but it did settle in, and the fireball hitting that spot to melt the ice weakens the golem further! there are cracks spreading from where the ice used to be, now.

so of course chuuya goes right for it, aiming a gravity-strengthened kick at those cracks to split them deeper. the thing rumbles again and swings a heavy arm at him, which he barely ducks in time-- it clips him, which will probably still bruise hard, but he'll take it.]


Alright, I think that's doing it-

[personal profile] burningblossoms 2017-08-20 11:25 pm (UTC)(link)
Right! Sumeo-Okami! Go for it!

[Flames surround the Persona's sword and it rushes forward, point first. The enchanted metal bites into the cracked area, driving a deep gouge in it. She twists, ripping the blade free and tearing a large chunk of stone away.

Yukiko follows up with more fire, driving into the monster's exposed innards.]


One more good hit!
doublesmall: (and you decided this)

[personal profile] doublesmall 2017-08-20 11:32 pm (UTC)(link)
You got it!

[the knife isn't really going to manage a good hit, and neither is an unarmed strike, and also he doesn't want to punch heated rock-- so chuuya is just going to grab a hunk of that defeated fire golem instead, picking up its severed arm and hauling it back over.

he pulls it back, lifting it with his ability and then bringing it forward in a swing that's about as heavily weighted as he can manage, right into that deep gouge. the arm breaks, but so does the rock golem, more of it falling away as it begins to crumble.

GO TEAM.]
burningblossoms: (...Teddie)

[personal profile] burningblossoms 2017-08-21 03:13 am (UTC)(link)
[With that taken care of, Yukiko immediately launches into healing mode. Magic flies from her Persona and in just a moment, all those cuts and bruises are gone. Sighing softly, Yukiko looks at Dwayne...]

I guess we passed your test, right?

[RIGHT.]

So...what's our reward?
doublesmall: (but the waves hit my head)

[personal profile] doublesmall 2017-08-21 03:24 am (UTC)(link)
[the reward is apparently a couple of glowing golden coins! yaaaay.

chuuya takes one, looking it over curiously before he tucks it into his pocket and gives yukiko a nod.]


Sounds like we're finished here then, yeah? Nice work.

[personal profile] burningblossoms 2017-08-21 03:28 am (UTC)(link)
[Yukiko flips hers over and stuffs it in her pocket before offering a hand for...a high five.]

Yeah. That's four golems between us. Good job.
doublesmall: (when busy streets)

[personal profile] doublesmall 2017-08-21 03:32 am (UTC)(link)
[that's a gesture he doesn't exactly expect, but- after a moment, chuuya grins and high fives her. teamwork!!]

If we're lucky, that's all of 'em. They can only fit so many down here, right?

[says the guy who's gonna have at least 2 more monster fights so good job jinxing yourself chuuya]

[personal profile] burningblossoms 2017-08-21 03:53 am (UTC)(link)
Hopefully that's true.

[Nodding out towards the exit, she banishes her Persona and heads out.]

Let's check back in, hopefully nobody needs more help.
