When: Saturday, October 14, 2006, 1PM MCT
WGAnubis and GreatWyrm have been attacked in the real. Was it a fluke? Explosions, Sallo's signal from her hovercraft The Pariah lost in the fray, disconnected from The Devil's Advocates. She has been salvaged In Exilium, but who is she? What is she? Was she a Commander or merely a sleeper cell biding her time before she gained the rank and opportunity to bring down all the key human resources of the Merovingian himself.
She is a cyborg. Human and program, metal and flesh, predestined for her purpose to destroy that which she had built, unconcious of this destiny?
This Saturday an experiment will be performed, her physical self has been lost since before the creation of The Pariah, her own ship run by a program she created, a program that nearly detonated killing the members of her crew that included Barloke, QueenAthena, Kshana..
She needs to jack out, open again her eyes in the real and find the answers. Has it been too long, is it too late, in this scenario can time simply be a matter of perception.
This experiment will cause her human portion to feign a death like sleep, forcing her program self to reestablish a connection. Theoretically, this program will echo to 6 different locations in the Matrix where Sallo felt most connected to, it will need time at each location to reestablish a partial link. If it is successful without interference the future of Sallo is truly unknown. The program was designed for one purpose, to aid Sallo in her rise within Merovingian ranks, put her in the prime position to break it down into unrecognizable pieces thus rendering the Merovingian organization as well as the Merovingian himself, utterly impotent. Now that the program long time in the making has failed..
As Sallo the program echos it will most likely break through the encrypted barriers of various faction lines, due to the nature of this process, Sallo will be flagged hostile.
Each organization will have 2 opportunities to protect the Sallo program as a partial link is established to herself in the real. They can lock onto this link to retrieve a partial Trace Code should she survive hostile attack. The Sallo program will function as Sallo, that is, it will not want to be destroyed and will use any means necessary to ensure its own survival, including the exchange of information to her protectors.
Each organization will have 4 opportunites to destroy the Sallo program and from its slain form retrieve a copy of a partial Trace Code.
The Devil's Advocates need these Trace Codes along with the Decryption Codes they already have to locate Sallo's body in the Real. They need at least 3 Partial Trace Codes to locate Sallo's body in the real and are willing to deal with any organization able to obtain this.
Sallo is but one person, one story, what does it matter if she is recovered or not? While the nature of her being is of interest to the Merovingian organization, she is no overt threat to the Matrix as a whole. She isn't The Assassin, or Anome but a woman who excercized a blatant lack of popular morality to conduct her business and get to her position. The question is then, what is it worth to you in coin?
=OOC Logistics=
Sallo will be travelling to 6 locations, these locations will be divulged in simple enough clues dispatched throughout the week.
Out of these 6 locations she will be flagged as Zion in 2, as Machine in 2, and Merovingian in 2.
If she is at a location and is not found within 10 minutes , she moves on to the next location and the partial link from that location will have been established, meaning no orgnization receives the partial Trace Code from that location.
If she is at a location and is found and assisted by friendlies (that is, members from the orgnization she's currently flagged as), she will be able to establish a link within 10 minutes and all confirmed friendly members at that location will receive 100k. After 10 minutes she will say "Link Established" and the first friendly to send her a tell requesting the partial Trace code will receive it. After which she will say "Partial Trace Code has been awarded to --- " Note: 10 minute timer starts from the moment she enters that particular location.
Note: To be confirmed as a friendly either Sallo or her Event Assistant (TBA) will have to call your name out in Area Chat so be sure to make yourself known to either player. The logs will be reviewed later to ensure that those who were participating friendlies are compensated.
If she is at a location and is found by hostiles (that is, members from organizations she's currently -not- flagged as), after she has suffered her very first attack her system will undergo an emergency back-up process that will enable her to establish a partial link within 3 minutes. That is, all hostiles have 3 minutes to kill her 3 times. Explanation: should she be killed she'll immediately receive a blue rez, in an RP sense you're to disregard the rezzer and consider it as Sallo echoing back to that location in another attempt to recover the trace. Due to system limitations, she can only do so (be rezzed) 2 times per location. Note: 3 minute timer starts from the moment she receives her first attack.
-Should she be assisted by friendlies during hostile presence and survive the 3 minutes (with at least partial life on her 2nd last reconstruct) all friendlies confirmed (see note above) will receive 200k and she will say "Link Established" and the first friendly to send her a tell requesting the partial Trace code will receive it. After which she will say "Partial Trace Code has been awarded to --- " Note: For this, EPN will be considered as Zion and Cypherites will be considered as Machines.
-Should she be eliminated 3 times by hostiles within the 3 minutes, all players who had a kill shot will receieve 1 million info. Once she is eliminated 3 times she will announce "Sallo was dominantly eliminated by --- organization" and the first hostile -from the organization that got the most kill shots at that location- to send Sallo a tell requesting the partial Trace code will receive it. After which she will say "Partial Trace Code has been stolen by ---" Note: EPN will be considered as Zion unless EPN specifically has the most kill shots at that particular location, in which only an EPN member can request a partial Trace code, this will be mentioned by Sallo, same goes for the Cypherites and the Machine organization.
After a partial Trace Code is either awarded or stolen from a particular location, Sallo will move on to her next location.
Information awards and partial Trace code tokens will be delivered after the event once the logs have been reviewed. Once that is done a post will be made here recapping the event and announcing all those who were awarded for their participation and success, particularly the members who have acquired partial Trace Codes.
A single player will need to acquire 3 partial Trace Codes in order to haggle for information compensation from the Devil's Advocates. The going bounty is at 40 million info for these 3 partial Trace Codes but unlike other awards given in other competitions, in true Merovingian spirit, one hopes this player will be skilled in the art of negotiation to be able to obtain 3 partial Trace Codes and then to further negotiate their exchange rates. More information on that will be given once this Saturday's event has completed. Also keep in mind that the DA may have other means to track Sallo's location in the real.
Additional notes:
* Other than unbuffed clothing changes, the Sallo program will have the same loadout throughout all 6 locations.
* She will not take any consummables unless they are given to her and she is instructed specifically to take them.
* She will not join your team.
* She can be healed and buffed indefinitely.
* She will not be attacking and should she be interlocked her perogative is to roll out so that she can continue to focus on re-establishing her link.
* Each time she echos, that is, each time she is recalled to another location she will not be cognizant of her previous echo, she will act as if she has always been a member of the organization her current tag reflects and act accordingly.
* No level restrictions to participate and receive award, low level players are encouraged to participate as players of most levels will be able to make the kill shot.
I understand that with the new patch org hopping is not an option, but I assure you that this execution of this event is very possible. It's all in the name.~
*If you're interested in participating on the events team, please send Sallo a PM on the DN1 boards*
Additional Background information on Sallo's Character can be found here (update's regarding DA's in-faction event yesterday have not yet been made but general information on that event can be found here). Note: The Of Sallo thread is an extensive Open RP thread and those with some/partial/general knowledge of the storyline or any part of the storyline are more than welcome to post so long as they do not misrepresent my character or use my character in a way that has not been approved OOC.
