EVENT 007 VOTING POST
Hello, Larkers! This is your voting post for the event. This post revolves around two points:
1. Whether the attempt to retrieve Judas will be a success.
2. Where Judas will end up after the fact.
For an idea of the consequences, Judas is a military AI that has been on a local, off-network quantum server in the UNA HQ for hundreds of years. He's had no outside interaction, and he seems to be fueling a lot of their technology (including the program ALIGN that turns the UNA soldiers into mindmelding individuals with a specialized formation instinct). Taking him away would gut the military arm of the world. However, giving him to Cassius would be potentially handing him over to an AI who's proven that he'll take countless lives. In addition, there is no way of knowing if giving Judas over to El will revolve reneging on the deal with Cassius—and there's no real way of knowing for sure that El, whose actions started the AI-Human War, has friendly intentions in taking Judas back. With all that in mind, Judas was instrumental in nearly ending humanity during that war, while El has spent that time pulling together resources to create Morningstar: the only successful anti-capitalism, anti-UN rebel group for the past 450 years.
A few notes to keep in mind:
◉ The overall preference for how the event ends will be based on what you want to see OOCly, rather than what your characters would like ICly. For example: Gaby would like to see the device holding Judas destroyed immediately, removing him from the world. But OOCly, Gaby's player would like to see what chaos could ensue from giving Judas over to Cassius.
◉ There is only one vote per player!
◉ We'd like a brief summary of what your character is doing during this event. New characters are welcome to take part! Please do, in fact! If your character is just visiting the base and stealing food, that's still of note. This will help us figure out where characters' priorities were during the event. For instance, in our UNA event last January, we were able to use the plotting comments and IC prioritization to figure out which aspects of the event would be ultimately successful. The plotting is looser around this event, so we'd like to essentially get those short summaries delivered to us so we can write a summary.
◉ Please feel free to have your character throw a wild card into the mix that might be harder to RP out, but will have some amazing consequences. We can't promise that it will be visible in the aftermath—that ultimately depends on the vote itself!—but we think it would be fun to toss it in if you have any ideas.
◉ This voting post will close on November 25th at 23:59 PM UTC. Please feel free to make edits leading up to the date itself!
Now, a form!
Player Name:
Do you want to know the results right away or once the aftermath post is up? Choose one!
Preference 1.A: Do you want them to succeed in retrieving Judas, or fail?
Preference 1.B: If your preference is them failing, how do you want them to fail? This is either via Displaced intervention or UNA intervention.
Preference Two: What do you want them to do once they retrieve Judas: destroy Judas, give Judas to El, give Judas to Cassius, or take Judas for themselves?
Character:
Journal:
Did they take a deal with Cassius?: Yes or no.
Will they renege on their deal with Cassius? Yes or no.
Summary of Actions in or around UNA base: We will try to keep everything in mind!
All responses will be screened until the results are revealed. The mods will each have a vote, but it will not be weighted any differently from anyone else's.
no subject
Do you want to know the results right away or once the aftermath post is up? lmao
Preference 1.A: Succeed!
Preference 1.B: N/A
Preference Two: Give Judas to El.
Character: Sora
Journal:
Did they take a deal with Cassius?: No.
Will they renege on their deal with Cassius? N/A
Summary of Actions in or around UNA base: Sora is on team get Judas for El, though he'll mainly be following Ren's lead on this. The original idea was to see if he could use his power of mental healing to calm Judas down, though that isn't actually going to work in practice. He would also try to convince anyone who was going to give Judas to Cassius that it was a Bad Idea and that they could reconsider.
Character: Soldier: 76 / Jack Morrison
Journal:
Did they take a deal with Cassius?: Yes, eventually.
Will they renege on their deal with Cassius? It's an on-the-fly thing, so... not really?
Summary of Actions in or around UNA base: Jack's main goal will be getting his hands on the ALIGN-installed implants within the base. As soon as he does this, Cassius will reach out to him to explain that if he tries to leave base with those, tracking will tip off the UNA to what's happened and to his location. Jack will, for lack of a better option, strike an on-the-fly deal with Cassius, though he won't play any direct part in retrieving Judas.
