Plot Update: October 16th, 2015
Hey, everyone! It's time for another plot post! The second Echo Incursion event has come and gone, and while various actions have been made against Thunder Corp, certain details still remain in the shadows.
As always, plot events in Raise the Earth generally aren't going to take care of themselves - even phenomena that come to an end will have fallout and lingering after-effects. Take to the streets, investigate, compare notes, and take action!
Recent Events
From October 1st to the 14th, a worldwide Echo Incursion occurred where facets of people's past lives literally materialized in the real world. Much like the dinosaurs before them, these things still remain unless otherwise destroyed, but new incursions seem to have stopped. Unlike the last one, this was not as focused, and spread out over a smaller span of time.
In addition, the details regarding the informant's leak regarding Thunder Corp were made known to the Network at large, though it remains a secret to the public. One individual, Alexandra Ryker, attempted to attack the warehouse where the object was being kept (though her identity isn't known to anyone), but she and her monster were repelled by a combination of Numbered and private security. However, said private security were clad in armor seemingly not of this world...
Game News
A new test drive is coming up, and one of the prompts will be a current game event like last time! For details, check the "Things Coming Soon" tab below. Other than that, we have the rest of October coming up, and the November Activity Check is on the horizon.
Things Coming Soon
The next event is the Factor Industries charity benefit, which we told you about in our last post, and which Sonia Kaiser recently brought to the network's attention here. This will be a general post for your characters to mingle and interact with in person, and which serves as an example of something we want to provide monthly going forward. So if you want to build new CR, this is the place for your characters to be! It will be occurring, ICly, on October 18th (Sunday), and be posted tomorrow, the 17th (Saturday). This event will also be on the new test drive, which will also be going up on Saturday!
The intent of the party is to provide an alternative voice to Thunder Corp's in Locke City, so they will be inviting people to speak (and some indeed have already agreed to do so, including Philip Santorini and Kirara Hoshimoto!), and to show that Numbered care about the repercussions of the invasion and healing old wounds without necessarily having to throw their lot in with Thunder Corp. If you'd like to have characters do so, you can reply there, or, if you'd rather handwave it, just respond here in the space below! We'd really like to encourage characters to take this opportunity, as it gives you a chance for your character to gain some influence and affect public opinion.
They're also seeking entertainment, so you can sign up for that as well! You can submit a character in Sonia's post, or sign up here!
Things Coming Later
Thunder Corp is still operating in the shadows, and they'll be looking to make good on some of the alliances they've tried to make as well as acting against those who have already made moves against them. What's more, November has the potential to turn characters' eyes west towards the Western Territories and New Los Angeles, so keep your eyes open.
Echo Opportunities
Using a teleporter for the first time since July 25th gives a plot Echo, even to characters that already received such Echoes before that date.
As always, canon recurrences give matching Echoes. Note that these can stack with the upcoming plot echoes as well.
That's all we have! There's a space below to ask any questions, and to plot or sign up characters to speak in the upcoming event if you're so inclined. We've also added a space for anyone to submit player plots they have cooking up, so if you have something you'd like to organize, you now have a space to do so!
