Hi everyone
I though we could copllectively put together our intel on the happenings of the Anniversary event. What is quite interesting is that this seems to be an event which has a definite impact on the storyline, unlike previous special events such as Halloween and Christmas. We've had one critical mission and a load of hostile NPCs as well as this blue sky stuff floating around the city.
OK- so here's what I got so far, please chip in
Blue Skies- the most obvious thing to notice is the wonderful blue skies we've been having. Blue skies don't tend to appear very often except when Sati makes sunsets. This implies a link to the Oracle being behind this, but no one's confirmed or accepted this possibility, and it doeasn't seem likely. Well it seems that Sati has found a place and a purpose within the Matrix and is no longer threatened with deletion, since the Machines give her permission to alter the sky. But this means either she's involved or someone else has that power too.
The party- an unknown event, seemingly musically based taking place over a weekend- no other details known. The posters are up and the vendors are selling special gear out in the parks of MegaCity. They deal in information, so they certainly are aware of the Matrix and aware of awakened redpills and how to deal with them. They also offer "Security" clothing in exchange for mysterious blue fragments- we have yet to see what either of these involves.
Sleepwalkers- A group of masked individuals, dressed in purple/blue have recently been storming the Matrix and attacking redpills near Hardlines and in the city. They are definitely Redpills, yet something about them doesn't quite fit, though no one is sure what. It seems alsmost certain that they are Cypherites, from their garb and name- "sleep" is a big word in masked circles. There have been reports among several orgs about an extreme splinter group of Cypherites who wish to forcibly reinsert all redpills or something similar- this group would seem to fit the bill.
Does anyone have anything to add, because I'm guessing that working together is what will get us through whatever danger loom.
