This is the start of something bigger.

[ceoqueen]

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.

Market District

[ceoqueen]

[it doesn't take very long for the news to reach the business district of the station. given the fact that there are many, many asari on omega, the news of their homeworld falling under siege has them all panicking. shops are closing in haste, there are asari running around rampantly trying to make sense of things. mass hysteria will ensue.]

Questions, But No Answers

[ceoqueen]

[there are always going to be those on the station that don't take kindly to the outsiders' presence. in the event of this crisis, those native to omega know what this means. they know what it means when the reapers move in, know it's only a matter of time before things are taken over - but if you think they're going to clue in the newcomers? you're dead wrong. any questions asked around here will be ignored - and likely those asking them will, as well.]

Panic (But Not at the Disco)

[ceoqueen]

[what was that about mass hysteria? once news gets around the station that thessia has fallen, those who know what it means don't waste any time panicking. they know what the reapers are capable of, they know what they are going to do if they manage to get what they want - and it doesn't mean anything good for the galaxy as a whole. cue those that can't manage to hold themselves together to be the ones running around rampant, like the proverbial chicken with its head cut off. if you want chaos, you'll find it here.]
