TEAM COGNAC

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 Cognac roster: Allen Walker, Aradia Megido, Fai D. Flourite, Fuuka Yamagishi, Grell Sutcliffe, Laurent, Mafuyu Kurosaki, Mako, Mohammed Abdul, Pitou, Prompto Argentum, Roronoa Zoro, Tsurumaru Kuninaga. 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? > cognac CONFIRMED. TEAM COGNAC MISSION PARAMETERS? PLEASE BE ADVISED SYSTEM ENERGY LEVELS ARE CRITICALLY LOW. > make contact with sysadmin > contact point entrance 8 > 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 COGNAC 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 Cognac's access point is in the Recollé Subway System. Team members will find they can travel further in the subway system so long as they approach it in a group of two or more team members. Only Team Cognac team members can see or enter the subway system sublevels 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 Cognac 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 Cognac is as follows: WEEK 1: Objective 1; CLEAR (M. Mahoney); Maurice WEEK 2: Objective 2; Team 1 IC briefing; Team 2 IC briefing 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!

[ Laurent has returned from telling secrets to room 8, and after studying Ronnie for a long moment holds out the mysterious coin to him. ]

I believe we are to give these to you?

[recollecters]

[ ronnie takes the coin. ]

That would seem to be the case.

[anguinous]

I can't say it's a currency I'm familiar with, it seems as if it should be in a museum collection.

[ Also, it was previously an orb. Laurent's just sayin', seems a little unusual here. ]

[recollecters]

And should you be familiar with everything?

[anguinous]

Not at all, I am aware there is plenty I know little about. That is why I was hoping you might tell me something about them.

[ Since Ronnie seems to know a good deal about these things in general, although he is not particularly talkative. ]

[recollecters]

The toll was meant to be for something else, but I suppose if you all want me to tell you what the toll is I can make it for that instead.

[anguinous]

[ Laurent's brow furrows slightly, weighing that up. ]

I find that hard to judge, not knowing what it was mean to be for.

[recollecters]

Is that so.

[anguinous]

[ Ah, we're being like this are we.

Laurent knows this style of answering questions intimately, because he often does it himself. He smiles a little. ]

It is. Knowing the right thing to do can become incalculably complicated the more options there are. Perhaps I will leave you with this coin for now, then, so we might have time to decide what answer we truly seek.

[ If Laurent just asks his own question he knows, somehow, it will be disappointing anyway. ]

[recollecters]

Don't let me detain you.
