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? No preference (I'M SORRY I know that wasn't an option)
Preference 1.A: Fail
Preference 1.B: UNA intervention (This is transparently a selfish bid for the world's worst and least satisfying IC I Told You So ever)
Preference Two: If they do get Judas I think that someone should have a crack at keeping him for themselves because I'm a glutton for conflict.
Character: Laura Moon
Journal:
Did they take a deal with Cassius?: Yes.
Will they renege on their deal with Cassius? No.
Summary of Actions in or around UNA base: Mostly Laura's providing cover for anyone who needs covering by messing with the senses of stray soldiers. She's not going to be much use when it comes to getting in to Judas proper and is aware of that, instead she's focused on providing close support during combat or stealth situations and will put herself in harms way (within reason... she really wants this coin but she doesn't want to die for it) to be able to manipulate the senses of UNA soldiers where necessary to allow other Displaced to avoid them or put them out.
Character: Dr Stephen Strange
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: On the assumption that somebody tells him the rough plan of action, he'll have set himself up somewhere relatively close to the loading dock the Displaced entered through with his paltry bag of med supplies. He'll be keeping a close eye on the network and listening out with his power for distress within his range, but mostly his intention is to use his power to reroute anyone who approaches intending to enter (ie UNA, other delivery folk, etc) away from the base toward various locations in the city using his fun new mind control power branch. He will also attempt to keep the loading dock clear with that same programming power to try and give the Displaced an easier time of exiting the building if they do manage to come back the same way.
