By now, Otherworlders have been appraised that an event known as High Rise Expo is coming to Magisteria. This congregation of the city’s movers and shakers, the inevitable showcasing of the most cutting-edge technology, can sometimes provoke a backlash in the city’s underground.
And there are hints that it’s happening now: the intruder at the Digital Flora Dome, who may be connected to the Null Rebellion (an anarchist group), and the mysterious phrase, “Symphony of Disruption.”
On the nights of Solstium, the air begins to pulse with an aberrant signal. At first, it is something like a background sound, but soon enough, individuals with cybernetic enhancements begin to experience difficulties: distortions, glitches, slight malfunctions. They are annoying, disorienting, and possibly even a little painful. And with each night, the effects are worsening, threatening the possibility of intense pain for beings with implants, as well as other beings with sensitivities.
The Response
Otherworlders learn that there is not a singular form of law enforcement in Magisteria. Rather, there are various official groups who interface, sometimes form alliances on particular outings, and even have (generally friendly) competition.
Two such individuals appear, variously to be found around the apartments and the coffee shop. They are Selena Voss and Titan-7, the first being a private investigator and the second being a member of an android group known as the Steel Sentinels.
Selena: My aXess Link is blowing up with people wanting to travel with us. Is it any surprise? This is Magisteria, where everyone thirsts for action and adventure. But we thought this would be a good opportunity for Otherworlders, so we’re inviting you along.
Titan-7: Should matters become too dangerous, Selena and I will intervene. We are confident in our ability to deal with the current threat, whatever it may be.
[ Eagle-eyed observers might notice that Selena has the same “esper girl” features as Seraphine Nova, and it may come up in conversation that she too is from the Aetherium District and she has already attended Atlas University. ]
