Mini-Event PSA and also Question AND NOW THIS IS THE POTATO EVENT
SO JUST A HEADS UP, the station will not be exploding or in much danger of exploding, as one of the Hypatia fragments is going to shoo Twosix down to Asphodel and make him the problem of the Resistance.
In the meanwhile, however, I was wondering if anyone would be interested in expanding this event slightly and doing some RPG fetch quests? There are copies of the containment chamber schematics down on Asphodel, but there are also copies (in pieces, of course) found on the station under guard of various Hypatia fragments who aren't interested in giving them up. A strangely helpful Hypatia fragment would coordinate the effort to recover these pieces, and act as a guide to any PC or team of PCs (five PCs or five teams of PCs, I think).
And by act as a guide, I mean she'll have to be carried in undetectable forms into her sisters' strongholds. And by undetectable form, of course, I mean potato.
Upon recovery of the pieces of the schematic, any PC engineers and/or Hypatia herself will be able to build the containment chamber, because of course Twosix will end up back on the station after some shenanigans with the Resistance and also kidnapping some guys, and the chamber should fix his exploding issue.
And Hypatia may have forgotten to mention before the door slammed shut on him, but that containment chamber is coincidentally similar to being frozen in a block of carbonite. At that point, any involved characters will be asked to determine his fate. Do you vote to leave him sealed away because he's dangerous? Does this scenario remind you of a particular situation back home? Hypatia wants opinions on this in order to justify locking him away or letting him free.
TL;DR alternatively Twosix will get back from Asphodel with his own copy of the schematics and take care of the problem himself. Since this is a mini-event, it won't affect the entire station and anyone is welcome to simply stay out of the problem without fear of exploding.
EDIT: Actually if anyone wants to do fetchs quest down to Asphodel itself, that would also work. BRAVE GIANT MAGMAWORMS, ACQUIRE ANCIENT DATA DISC FROM HIDDEN TEMPLE.
EDIT EDIT: Okay I'm making a list.
Asphodel Quests: Emile, Shaun, George, Bro, Thom, Raimi, Davesprite, Vriska, Thane, Ratchet, Skyfire, Foxface, Jin, Jack Noir, TARDIS
Sacrosanct Quests: Alex Wilson, Kiki, Darwin, Charles, human!Chell, robo!Chell, Jade, pink!Dave, Ladon, Sollux
HOW THIS WILL WORK:
Aight so TSA Hypatia will make a general announcement that she's booted Twosix off the station so everyone can rest easy, he's now the Resistance's problem. Also he kidnapped Gibson and Jalen on his way out but no one cares about that. Station is secure again, all in a day's work.
A different Hypatia fragment will then interrupt and offer the fetch quests to collect the obligatory Scattered Pieces of the shikon jewel containment chamber schematic files, some of which are on Sacrosanct and some of which are on Asphodel. The number of pieces/specific quests will depend on the number of volunteers, and there'll be a log for each quest. Hypatia will suggest anyone interested break into teams and she'll also volunteer to be a guide. She can multitask, so there'll be guides available for each quest even if they're occurring simultaneously.
...she'll also be inhabiting some kind of vegetable or fruit that each team has to carry around, because Portal.
Obstacles in each quest will be typical rpg fare. On Sacrosanct, probably automated weapons like turrets and maybe a secure building to break into. On Asphodel, navigating the tunnels ala Lara Croft and exploring caves and avoiding or not avoiding magmaworms and the Resistance forces and the drone patrols from the carbon factories. The logs are a chance to build CR, so players should feel free to create their own obstacles and solutions and hey, maybe someone will sprain their ankle and need to be rescued! Or maybe someone who thinks you're annoying will trip you and leave you to die. :|
Veggie Hypatia will be on hand to provide snark and maps. Just don't drop her, or eat her. I'm pretty sure you don't want to eat a mutant potato capable of providing enough electricity to run whatever bit of herself she put inside it.
The objects of the fetch quests will be data discs, which can be physically stolen or simply copied. There might also be other information on them, pertaining to more than just engineering diagrams...
Ideally, this shouldn't be a very long event either. Once the logs are up, feel free to backtag in them for the next ever. The final stage will be some kind of log where the containment chamber has been built and it's time to coax Twosix into it, and there might be one more tiny boss fight involved.
Then TSA Hypatia will be asking individuals for votes on whether to keep Twosix locked in the containment chamber permanently. Or somewhat permanently, since I'm sure somehow he'll get out eventually even if it's decided to seal him away. ANYONE can vote on this, even people who didn't participate in the event. She just wants to hear your feels on dangerous synthetics.
ALSO IF ANYONE HAS QUESTIONS OR SUGGESTIONS, please feel free to note them here or grab me on AIM at brigantinefranke or hit up my plurk at haneshinohara or PM Twosix's journal bastione or idek, send me smoke signals.
And EDIT EDIT EDIT: go form your teams.
