TEAM DAQUIRI

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 Daquiri roster: Baren Kumou, Bucky Barnes, Futaba Sakura, Hitori Togusa, Iwatooshi, Izuku MIdoriya, John Steinbeck, Koutarou Takamura, Lalli Hotakainen, Mikleo, Yu Narukami.

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

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?

> daquiri

CONFIRMED. TEAM DAQUIRI MISSION PARAMETERS?
PLEASE BE ADVISED SYSTEM ENERGY LEVELS ARE CRITICALLY LOW.

> make contact with sysadmin
> contact point entrance 1
> 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 DAQUIRI 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 Daquiri's access point is in the Retrospec Basement. Team members will find they can access the Retrospec building and utilize the elevator to reach the Basement level so long as they approach it in a group of two or more team members. Only Team Daquiri team members can enter the Retrospec building at all at this time. Please see the Objective 1 toplevel for more information on what they can see when they enter the door!

This is the Team Daquiri 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 Daquiri is as follows:

WEEK 1: Objective 1; CLEAR: Maurice; Miss Gracie
WEEK 2: Objective 2; IC mission briefing; CLEAR: J. Wiseman
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!

HAHAHA NICE. And where would the lights actually be? Since uh. There's six stars on this map and I have no idea which, if any, correspond to the two keys.

Green and blue! :) The other star locations may all have things of interest, but only green and blue would show up on his device.

before I jump on this icly, is this underwater? Like, would Lalli need to be wearing the diving gear to...survive... from the get-go, I don't mind not knowing if it gets flooded later, if it's currently clear.

It's underwater and they would have been told to put on diving gear before entering!

Are the walls of the maze soft enough that a knife would be able to carve into them, or at least make some kind of marking on them?

This can be attempted! These coral monsters will take exception and 1) fix things and 2) attack them, however.

Leaving behind pebbles or something is a safer alternative.

i'm back like a bat outta hell

So on the maze map, it looks like the blue star is in a room with two like...barriers but not full walls? Are those actually doors or obstacles of some kind?

And also what's actually there in the blue room once they get there....

Those little barriers are doors! They open like normal doors. There is no reason for them to be in a coral maze but there you go!

And inside the blue room is a blue pearl chest! There is a castle key in there, but they will need to grab the key for the chest from one of the other map locations.

.....can the chest be broken via brute force?

...What kind of brute force are we talking about here, Bucky.

well. he's got a knife and one of those javelin guns (harpoon guns?), so he'd definitely try stabbing it a bunch and then shooting it.

and failing that he'd try to zap it open with his electric powers, SOMEHOW

Electric powers will work after the stabbing and shooting, because that sounds funny.

Okay, they're at the magenta star room! What've you got for us, Lucy?

Specify which one for me is magenta? I think you're talking about the purple or red but am not sure which!

Bottom right! Sorry, had that realization and was about to edit when you replied...weeps

That's green, SO I ASSUME you mean the purple one, which has the key to the blue pearl chest. Which is possibly useless now? Thanks, Bucky!

...LUCY...I'M SORRY ABOUT MY BAD INDICATIONS...I deserve this useless key, truly

oh but also is it just out or is it in a box or what

Edited 2017-08-16 02:25 (UTC)

It is on a pile of seashells! :) They can keep it, but it's Now Useless, I'm so sorry.

LMFAO ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE

THANK YOU LUCY WHAT A GIFT

IT IS NOT MY FAULT YOU WANTED TO BREAK THE BOX OPEN!

Also, since I'm going to be in transit for a portion of the day: red star is half a key, pink star is an [ITEM REDACTED], orange star is another half a key and another [ITEM REDACTED], and green star is the 2nd chest with an orange pearl key inside. If they get to either item redacted location as a stop, lmk, and also let me know whenever they've icly claimed both keys!

Okay, will do! I was also going to ask later when we got to it, but it might be better to ask now--is there another type of monster they might encounter down there? Just in case we need another random fight to spice things up

There are some Magikarp lurking around and possibly a few more menacing Omastar if you need!

OKAY OKAY ONE MORE QUESTION

for the 2nd chest, would Bucky be able to open it if he zapped it with his electricity powers directly? Or does he have to go through the powers, the knife, and the harpoon in order to get it to open? Or some other mechanism for this one??

(no subject)

FTR, the chest drops the pink pearl key!
