Quote:Scenario: 30 minutes ago Freeport 1 was rocked by a series of violent explosions. The cause is not clear. There is chaos and frantic calls for help are sent out on open short range frequencies.
It is time for first responders to act and keep the worst from happening.
Our mission: Save lives, Rescue the wounded, salvage the dead, contain the fires, repair the broken up hull, bring in emergency supllies, evacuate people, etc. Be quick!
The Freeport is in need of help...
... and hopefully many will respond.
> when: Sunday, 16.12., 21 GMT/Server Time
> what: a pure "humanitarian operation" rp event that recreates the first hour after the blasts
> what not: pvp origies. If you want to use the setting, pvp a little further away.
> who: everybody who has a character that would want to help in such a situation
> what can be rped:
+ shuttling wounded to nearby planets
+ flying repairships and rping emergency repairs
+ handling traffic
+ salvaging floating debris
+ Search&Rescue of cargo and personell thrown out by the explosion
+ ... be creative. What would you do if you arrived first at the place of a desaster?
> how long: I would say 1-2 hours of rping the aftermath
Very fitting rp that comes to my mind could be done by these groups, but there are a lot of others who can fit in perfectly:
+ the acting FP Administrator (storyteller of what the base looks like)
+ [FP1], the Freeport 1 group
+ all Omega 3 + Cambridge parties (these would be the first to respond irply)
+ IMG| which has 3 bases nearby
+ Zoners in general
+ Bretonian civilians / lawfuls / navy (who would likely respond)
+ ALG for cleaning up the mess
+ Cryer for bringing in stuff and personell
+ the TAZ ship with the medical background (name forgotten)
+ and generally everybody who would jump up to help in such a situation
Important: this will only work if roleplayers add their creativity into the mix and work together to create cool scenes, make nice screenshots, express the story with talk about what they do, make up things to carry on the story... etc.
SENDER: Jaden Armand, Freelancer pilot RECEIVER: Freeport 1 ORIGIN:Garanchou freighter, Principe.De.Jade, Cambridge System, Bretonia SENT ON: 10 (Monday)/12 (December)/819 A.S./1556 Hours (3:56 PM) SUBJECT: Condolences; Desire to Aid FP1 Restoration
The woman bows low before the camera, "My dearest condolences to those who have lost, or are currently losing, their lives on Freeport 1. But I don't intend to stand by and simply watch: in fact, allow me to assist in the relief effort, por favor.
"I happened to be at Planet Cambridge on my Garanchou, the Principe.de.Jade, when I picked up the distress call, and I'll gladly divert from my current activities in order to assist, from routine supply-deliveries for the teams working there, to assisting them directly as additional security detail. Yours truly was once an experienced mercenary, so any infidels that seek to cross the teams' path would have to answer to the wrong end of my pistol first.
"... And what do I want in return?" She smiles at the camera, "Why, just the simple fact that I've helped get these poor souls through this misfortune, something that I am unfortunately quite familiar with."
The smile quickly turns to a frown as she continued, "I'll be honest with you. I am of Cretian-descent, which technically makes me Corsario. But at this hour, I do not represent my people's vengeance and fury. The people of Crete have always lived a very brutal existence of constant famine, shortages in supply, and threats of infidels in every flank."
Her expression slowly becomes hardened, her gaze focusing intensely on the camera, "So I come instead to represent the heart of the Corsario, our determination to get through disasters such as this, our sense of unity that transcends any and all differences of opinion and origin, our endurance, and our willingness to stare directly in the face of danger, even death itself if need be, to ensure that no compadre should ever be left behind. I offer all these... and more, to ensure the guaranteed survival and continuation of Freeport 1."
The woman then sighs tiredly at the camera, "I know the words of a single madre would probably not be enough to convince you, but that's not going to stop me from doing my darnest to see to it that every single victimed man, woman and child of Freeport 1 will get through this darkest hour, with hope in their weary hearts, and a vision in their eyes for a greater, brighter future."
It was AWESOME! I had never thought that a simple story like "RP a first response to a catastrophe" could create this amount of interaction and rp. Feedback and criticism, and anything oorp goes into this thread.
Wow that was amazing!
Since I missed the announcement I was totally surprised.
But me Sails char got the bar inventory secured - if someone noticed that
I got there and was at first like "Cool let's just hang and stuff and be kinda menacing like Mad told me to" and then out of nowhere .
conspiraceh.
and then
a bit of meta.
But fun running into someone I haven't seen for quite a bit, and a good change from the standard diplomatic work I do.
gone four years, first day back: Zoners still getting shot in Theta :|
