This is the start of something bigger.

who. Everyone on Omega.

what. The station finds out about the state of Thessia - in that it is now being taken over by the Reapers.

where. Various places all over the station.

when. Immediately. Right now.

warnings. None as of yet, other than general panic and chaos.

It begins like any other day on the station. The sun isn't shining, the grass isn't green - there are vorcha sleeping in back alleys and krogans still drunk on ryncol trying to start fights with anyone passing by, but that's just another day in the life of a patron of Omega.

Except today, there is something different. It's not in the air, at least not yet.

During Cerberus' occupation of the station, handy little devices known as quantum entanglement communicators were installed to allow communication with The Illusive Man, and though Cerberus is no longer on Omega, their devices remain. It was likely that this was the only way Aria could maintain contact during her exile, and thus the only reason they remain now that she's back - but that's neither here nor there.

Today, there's something different coming through. Not the usual galactic noise, the static that bleeds into everything else where the station is concerned. Today, it's something completely different.

The Reapers have invaded Thessia. Asari commandos have held them off for as long as they possibly can, but there is only so much they can do with limited resources. And as the news makes its way around the station, everyone seems to react differently, but the song remains the same: ultimately, chaos will ensue. It's only a matter of time.

Why all the worry? The asari are the most advanced race in the galaxy. If they don't have the means to hold the Reapers off, no one does. It's hopeless.

We encourage you, as players, to plot and thread as you see fit - how your characters will react to the news, how they will be affected, etc. There will be some starter threads below, but you are more than welcome to start your own.

[That will get her to smile at least. He isn't wrong that she enjoys books to people.]

It's alright, you are correct in following that line of thought. Work is easier than being social, I find I'm not very interesting when talking with others, or I somehow make it sound like I want to use them for a lab experiment.

[Embarrassing times with Shepard, those were good times.]

[hey, a smile is always a good sign.]

At least you don't actually want to.

[he's still convinced that mordin wanted to pull some weirdass experiments. Y'know, that whole mad scientist thing.]

You're a Prothean expert, isn't that right?

No, I have no interest in experiments that involve people. My work was all theoretical based on archaeology.

[Mordin probably does, because he's crazy, awesome, but crazy.]

I suppose I am, it's been a while since I've been actively researching as in depth about the Protheans as I should. Actually meeting one changed many of my hypotheses about their culture and political structures.

[Kirrahe would argue the awesome part but hey he's a bit of a cloaca.]

Wait, you met a Prothean? How is that possible, they've been extinct for 50,000 years.

[He can be, don't let scientists argue or it'll just turn ugly.]

Cerberus stumbled upon one in a stasis pod on Eden Prime, Shepard unlocked it and he decided that fighting the Reapers with Shepard was a better choice than going on his own. I was fortunate enough to talk with him, even though he is...not what I expected.

To be perfectly honest, I don't know what I would expect from a Prothean. What was he like?
dowhatittakes: (crossed arms)

He's...angry. [That's being polite about it.] He's a soldier and refuses to let anything get in his way of stopping the reapers, unless it's reminding you that you're a primitive species in his opinion.

Well, he certainly sounds charming. I can't say I could blame someone in his situation for being angry, though.
dowhatittakes: (I can't believe this-hand)

[personal profile] dowhatittakes 2013-05-19 11:36 pm (UTC)(link)
No, I can understand why he's so angry about the situation we're in and he is. I'm just tired of him reminding us we're primitive to him.
