Some updates about game mechanics:
You all (except Jack) have 4 characteristics: shooter (yes/no), coder (yes/no), can connect to the network (yes/no), and a strength value. You can use it for fulfilling the tasks that will arise.
To use ELPIS menu (once accessible) and interact with pod systems please use bold. For other actions, use italic (you won't probably need it due to reaction pics). Simple text for speech.
If the task goes "need x shooters", you need x people who can shoot post shoot action mentioning the object of shooting. Okay?
If a character is injured (when I say it), they can only talk, and do not count in team tasks. If your info says you "care about someone's safety", consider it your side task to keep them uninjured.
As always, do not rush, discuss the options, or it may soon become too late to reconsider.
I'm sending you your parts, ask your questions if you need.
Comments
"Noone goes in or out!" Every hologram of Handsome Jack announces in a booming voice. "I will find you, Rhys. Anyone who reports his location will get a promotion or will not be killed, whatever interests you more." Jack adds in a more casual tone. "And, my deep condolences to any space ship arriving to Helios - we are closed, please return never". He roars the last word, then laughs loudly.
Rhys, Fiona, Sasha, Yvette, and Gortys stop in their run upon hearing these words.
"He can't." Fiona breathes heavily.
"Oh, he can." Rhys replies gloomily. "He owns this station now."
Sasha glares at him. "Yeah, don't get me started on how you allowed it to happen."
Rhys only sighs. After battling Jack he has no desire for more arguing. Gortys hugs him sympathetically.
"Rhys," Yvette exclaims suddenly, "we need to get to the main core. We can reprogram the hangar controlling system."
Rhys smiles. She was always the levelheaded one. "Let's go!"
"Yes!" Gortys raises her small fist in the air. "We are gonna win, Jim!"
"Not so fast."
They all turn to the Hangar door to see August with his mercs.
"The ship's locked. The turrets are shooting. We are not staying there." August declares, and his argument is his gun, ready to fire. "Also we've killed enough guards to get on the black list of that bluish bastard."
"We are going with ya." Kroger adds.
"Whatever, just move it, we have little time!" Fiona summarizes, and they follow Rhys and Yvette to the main core.
They run for their life, evading turrets, cutting through the packs of Hyperion guards. In the middle of one hard battle Fiona and Sasha use Vallory's mercs as live shields, which ends bad for those guys. Sasha grabs Finch's gun before they left the corpses behind.
And when they arrive to the main core, Jack is waiting them, multiple faces watching them from the walls. August and Fiona shoot two more guards, earning the indignant yell from the AI.
Then a Hyperion employee runs into the chamber. Seeing the armed group, she lifts her arms in the air.
"What are you doing?! Do not hurt him!" The Hyperion girl yells, pointing at one of Jacks.
"Actually, that is not our main goal..." Yvette states cautiously. She is not at all happy with all the bloody mess.
As he has had his ideals shattered, Rhys can't agree with Yvette fully. But it is not a good time to argue.
The Hyperion girl clasps her hands in front of her. "I knew you were not going to kill Handsome Jack! I know you, Rhys! You are a fan too!"
"Was." Fiona corrects her sternly. "Right?" She glares at Rhys. Sasha reloads the gun casually.
"Right." Rhys breathes, trying to ignore loud "Oh, come on!" from Jack.
"I say, fire!" August commands, and all weapons are aimed at the core. Hyperion girl gasps in terror.
"Wait, wait..." Gortys tries to stop them, but the gun sounds are already too loud. Yvette crouches down and hug the little girl, and they both wait for what comes next. Hyperion girl is killed in action.
"Warning! Warning! Main core critical damage! Evacuation in process. Evacuation in process." A female voice announces. It stops them all. The room could be "the widest eyes" contest judging by the look on their faces. And the winner is Handsome Jack.
"Shit." He says. "ELPIS." He runs a hand over his face.
The chamber dissociates from the Helios station and starts floating away into open space.
"The engines!" Jack yells. "Turn on the fucking engines, ELPIS!"
"I'm not able to reach the systems. Manual activation needed. After 2 hours and 30 minutes the return to Pandora will become impossible." The voice from before replies calmly. "Also, nice to hear from you again, sir. Fancy meeting you here." The voice adds in a mocking tone, despite the polite words. Jack only frowns in irritation.
Others listen to this dialogue but understand nothing.
"Tell us what must be done." Fiona voices their shared silent question.
You look around. There is a metal cabinet with the letters "Total reboot", the armed glass cabinet with the letters "ELPIS reboot", and a terminal with a keyboard.
You can use those three objects.
[Open metal cabinet] - requires 5 strength units
[Break glass cabinet] - requires 3 shooters
[Use terminal to hack the controls] - requires 2 coders
Heyoheyo
Looks like they can't reach the main core still
Yes I'm getting impatient
@Eryka, @GrowlingPeanut, @GaredAndBacon, @JumpyJoey, @Kennybadger, @xtheunseenteenx, @Daryace
@Mawula I don't think I can play, sorry
So eager to leave Helios? I thought you liked it there.
Sigh okay.
Whoa hell I thought this was starting much later, I'm here! I've been messing around with Blender :P
Actually one hour still remains
I don't want to play... Maybe next time.
Oh, oh thank god. I said I was gonna be available but then I got interested in this cup-making tutorial and I've been working on it for five hours
Okay.
It'd be better if you said that yesterday, but don't worry, we're cool.
I just got up relax, man.
.......NOW FOR COFFEE LOTS OF COFFEE and some food
I just woke up and I'm so tired. Again, I'm sorry.
Please don't be, you did nothing wrong. It is not a duty, but a thing for fun after all
Nvm, I am a panicker
Coffee is Love Coffee is Life
Okay, I'm here (at least for the moment) and I have a few questions. How are we going to handle the comment nesting format? Should we all just make new comments, unless we're specifically replying--I don't know. Don't listen to me.
Whatever. it'll work. imgur is eating my photos and my mom's hovering, but i'm here.
You just do as it goes. We'll manage, no spoilers this time.
@GaredAndBacon, @xtheunseenteenx, @Daryace
Guys, please say something. Are you here?
Dary isn't at home so she can't come.
A pity. Okay, let's see what goes next.
You know we can postpone it until later... like...after the holidays?
That'll be after 15th of Jan then... Cause I'm having a vacation that big, lol.
@GrowlingPeanut, @JumpyJoey, @Kennybadge, @SirScrubbington, @JohnSmith_13
I apologize, guys, but I really don't know what's happening. You decide, shall we wait more or not. I'm going with anything.
I guess it won't continue, if you ask me.
What do you mean "won't continue"? The wait, the play, what...?
Well, um, we can't do it without Cara, right?
...give it a few more minutes?...
I can give it all you want, my dear Joey
but it is strange. People usually show up by this time.
That's okay, honestly. Gives me time to get the rest of the non-Hyperion pictures up and finish some one-shots without rushing.
I'll say wait, but at in 40 minutes my vote, will change, due to I'll have to be to work later tonight.
It is strange, I don't know what to make of it
It's not that late... then again it is.
The play, there are so many people missing.
That I have to agree. I'm so sorry
I might be able to make it later, you know I can stay up all night, but I don't know who else is on late at night besides you and Kenny.
So sorry guys I'm so sorry I couldn't reply.
I think I'm having a heart attack... Now if Gared comes here, I will probably die from overexcitement.
It's okay.
Pretty sure we're rescheduling it anyway. To maybe sometime after the holidays.
It's up to Maw.
I think if Rhys (Gared) comes here, we can do it.
Relax darling, worst case, we do it at some later date.
