BREAKING NEWS


Phase two of this plot is hitting now! The sequence of events will be as follows:

1) On Saturday the 15th, around 2PM, the virus Legion infected Orion Pax with during their brief encounter will go live, infecting both Orion and the Fake Dynamo with a replicating program that will cause any capable system it touches to start broadcasting its location to the Alpha Tower. This means that they will have access to the exact coordinates of the 3 prisons, though they are still not openly visible on the surface. If they go to investigate immediately, they will discover signs of a structure approximate 3 meters beneath the sand in the desert location, 10 meters under the tar pit location, and form reasonable assumptions about the downtown one being inside of a normal looking office building (that is surprisingly difficult to get into.)

2) Around 6PM, smack dab in the middle of supper rush, the AI known as Fake Dynamo will realize that its security has been compromised, freak out, and basically go nuclear. It will go into its phase two, which appears to be open war against the "Inhuman Threat."

3) Subsequently, three towers will appear at the prison locations (large, albeit smaller than pictured.) The ones in the desert and tar pit locations will spring out of the ground like daisies, whereas the one in downtown LA will appear to shed an "outer skin" that looks like a normal office building to reveal the alien architecture within. Yikes.

4) The towers all well defended, both with hard to damage and penetrate exteriors and defenses with the same sorts of energy attacks boasted by the cyborg soldiers. Also, unsurprisingly, more cyborgs are going to flood the streets, this time averaging towards the bigger and stronger - choice members of the flock perhaps.

5) The most dangerous of which are several superhumans that have been fully converted - namely the captured members of Nightforce (including the real Dr Dynamo). They are basically mindless cyborgs with super powers and robot parts who obey the AI's whim. Nightforce members will be mod NPCs who will appear in rescue logs. If you want to be responsible for the death of one of them, you can call dibs. There are four.

From any point past stage one, captives are able to be rescued or escape. How long it takes to infiltrate the towers depends on player actions but it will probably take at least several hours to deal with things, if not more, and longer to actually clear out the interiors. HOPE YOU LIKE DUNGEON CRAWLS, because all the towers go at least another full length beneath the ground, with extensive mining systems down beneath.

Fake Dynamo is an AI built into the three different towers, as described in the Scary Jail posts. Though in three different bodies, they are all the same mind, and run all three areas simultaneously. They have a lot of processing power, but given the fact that they are controlling all of their soldiers and all three buildings, it is possible to overload them with distractions.

STUFF YOU CAN DO:
1) Fight monsters yaaay.
2) Help breech the exterior walls of the towers. How you do this is up to you, but getting a ton of people in there should be relatively difficult. The exact defenses and potential methods of entry are flexible, so you can basically make up whatever plans you want and run with it. If you're unsure, as a mod.
3) Rescue living captives, which are mostly some animals, minor superhumans, and even some vanilla humans. Also all those player characters.
4) Try to get in an shut down the Fake Dynamo AI - this will have to be done in all three locations to truly get rid of them.
5) Capture the Ai...or destroy it! What happens here is up to you. The potential risks to trying to hold something like this are obvious, but if it can be restricted and questioned there is valuable information that can be gained from it, both relating to this plot and beyond!

As usual, if you have any questions, let us know!

[PS. If you noticed any eerie similarities to SCP-962 from The Foundation, you were correct! This plot has been an AU version of that entity, tweaked and fleshed out to better fit this setting. Just in case you forgot that these fuckers were still around.]
