Event #002 - Valentine's Day Party (Ctd.)

"...because of your hard work, dedication, and results, we are more than happy to host this party. Participation is mandatory, yet it is only because we wish you to have the best time possible! Refreshments, alcoholic and otherwise, are provided courtesy of both The Diner and Briscoe's. Everything provided is free, courtesy of us here at Weyland. We hope that you enjoy your special day!"

Aside from the somewhat-puzzling message, the party looks great. Set at the cleared out hangar, tables of food are set out, and Lauren Mackenzie is manning the fully stocked up bar. Lights have been set up, as well as a sound system, and aside from the fact that Heron's Hope is light years away from Earth, it looks like any other party. As colonists trickle in, it begins to become more lively.

At this point, colonists are free to interact with each other at the party. Nothing odd or unusual has occurred yet, although the fact that it takes place may be interesting to some characters! Further plot drops and individualized plot messages will be issues this weekend! As always, use and track the tag tlfevent2 for further information throughout the week. If you have any questions, please feel free to message the main. Have a great time!

Event #002 - Valentine's Day Party

"...we realize that, given the stressful nature of the last field expedition, colonists may need something to break the routine and give them a chance to relax. The package within contains materials for a party set on Valentine's Day. We urge colonists to be responsible in their enjoyment of the festivities, yet we also want to show our appreciation for all the hard work they've done. Enjoy!"

Along with the latest staple supplies, the above memo was attached to a shipment of, indeed, party decorations. Though no one is sure why Weyland has decided to extend their generosity right now, it would be silly to complain. Therefore, the party is set to begin, as instructed, on Valentine's day. The Valentine's Day Party event will take place for two days in-game time, and will last from today, February 9th, to Monday February 17th. The colonists can prepare for the party however they wish February 9th and 10th, and the party will last the rest of the week. Further plot drops will ensue, so keep an eye out! Track the tag tlfevent2 for further information throughout the week. If you have any questions, please feel free to message the main. Have a great time!

Event #001 (Ctd)

The blips have faded in an out for hours now, and in an effort to find the source of them, the colonists have split into smaller groups and spread out. With little organization, the colonists have free reign, and one of the anonymous engineers brought along gets a little too curious. A few touches of the symbols on the wall, and suddenly all the corridors everywhere are lit up with a strange blue light.

Soon, the colonists begin to see images projected by the light – holograms of humanoid, male figures that run through the halls and deeper into the structure. Before any of the colonists can attempt to follow, though, the images fade away and a deep rumbling appears. Whatever triggered the images seems to have disrupted the fragile balance of the structure, and it’s clear that cave-ins are imminent.

Emergency alerts are issued, and colonists are to evacuate the structure and get back to the vehicles as soon as possible – there is no time to grab anything that they don’t already have, and some equipment, discoveries, and other things will be forced to be left behind in the pursuit of both brevity and survival.

Interactions from this plot drop can take place concerning any of the events listed above. Colonists will be restricted to carrying only small items, and larger things will absolutely need to be left behind, no questions asked. Therefore, much of the evidence (collected and destroyed) will not be able to be brought back. Once cave-ins start to occur, they will also need to get out of the structure as quickly as they can. Remember to tag paras with tlfevent1, and hope you enjoy the final act of this event. Happy roleplaying!

Event #001 (Ctd)

As the colonists delve deeper into the mysterious structure, tension rises. The eeriness is palpable, the darkness all encompassing. As creepy as it may seem, though, nothing living or dangerous seems to be around, and the scientists finally begin to set up their equipment for a preliminary scan and readings of the place. Distracted, no one notices the activity on the motion trackers at first – blips of activity not too far off. It isn’t until the beeping alerts someone that the colonists are aware of something. It could be the equipment going haywire, and it could be something out there, but now the group faces a decision – leave now while their safety is assured, or continue even further into the deep.

At this point, colonists are free to notice the activity on the motion trackers. The motion trackers would indicate substantial figures, yet, as the prompt says, it isn’t clear whether it’s actually something out there or simply a glitch in the machine - if it is something, it hasn't and won't reveal itself yet. Characters are free to react as they will, and groups may begin to fracture or split off from one another at this point. Remember to track and use the tag tlfevent1 for this, and happy RP’ing!

EVENT #001 – Field Expedition!

“…It’s been brought to our attention that a structure, previously undetectable because of the high winds surrounding the mountain ranges to the west, lies unexplored. Preliminary scans indicate that the structure, which lies in a valley, is hollow and dotted with corridors and caves. This is a huge find, and although we’re very excited, we must scout it out first to determine the exact nature of the structure and assess it’s security. As such, a large team will be sent out on a preliminary research mission. We urge colonists to remember that although this is a major find, it is also completely unknown, and under no circumstances are crew members to wander off alone or disobey orders from any of the team leaders. Further instructions will be issued soon, but for now, the current roster is as follows:

Security Team – Diane Mercer, Skylar Sarai, Samuel Larson, Lachlan Greene, Laila Lanka, Petra Knight, Joanna Beech, Roman Velasquez, Church

Science Team – Jerome Kirby, Madison Ruiz, Elizabeth Chase, Raoul Ferguson, Trinity

Civil Team – Owen Frank, Audrey Finley, Darren Porter, Barnabas Kelly

We will embark tomorrow, so prepare accordingly – remember that this is only a preliminary mission, so pack light and only bring what’s necessary. See you bright and early, colonists!”

Welcome to our first event! The field expedition will last from Sunday, January 12 to Monday, January 20. The colonists will prepare for the expedition Jan 12th, and the crew will formally embark on Jan 13th. Further plot drops will be issued throughout the week, so keep an eye out for them soon. Track the tag tlfevent1 for further information throughout the week. If you have any questions, please feel free to message the main. Happy hunting!
