High Risk Quest #1: The Ghost Signal








High Risk Quest #1: The Ghost Signal




Note: Here we go, gamers! The first High Risk Quest for Magisteria. These quests will serve as tiered mini-events which reveal crucial world lore, goings-on, and also tie into the metaplot and the large events. High Risk Quests will trade off in emphasis, meaning tech --> magic --> tech --> magic.

While this quest has seeds for the Tech Path Conflict, it should be noted that it's OTA and also that quite a bit of magic-specific locations/mini-events will open soon. The Magic Path Conflict is brewing in the background and will become more apparent soon, too, so keep one's eyes peeled.

Context & Recap



This quest takes place after The Coffee Shop Mingle, which features NPCs discoursing on the goings-on of High Rise Village. Players are encouraged to look at that.

In the first event, Training in High Rise Village, we learned about a mysterious intruder who infiltrated the Digital Flora Dome and the Neon Nest, two properties belonging to an android named Rosalind Vireo. PCs who restored the properties deciphered a mysterious phrase, "Symphony of Disruption..." Seems portentious! In the above coffee shop mingle, Rosalind speculates as to the possible culprit(s?).

Bling



See the plotting post: PCs can go all out with the cyber weapons on this one, in addition to whatever tech or magic they've learned, whatever canon abilities have returned, and Selena and Titan-7 can also be used as weapons (so to speak) or defenses/back-up. Feel free to write interactions with them or them stepping in however. Of course, the main route to success will be PCs supporting other PCs!

"I can stand. Wouldn't mind a hand up, though."

Lucy has to lean heavily on said hand as she makes her best attempt at standing. She's familiar with this part: overexertion on deepdives means her legs feel like they can't take her weight, but with enough stubbornness, they can. She wouldn't be this bad off if she'd had a cooling suit and a physical line to port in through, but hey, emergencies are emergencies.

She's pretty sure Musashi gave the Fractured far worse hell than Lucy managed, but she did manage to snag some of its code. She'll be able to look over that later.

"I think ABYSS is my favorite so far," she muses, thinking back to the various clubs they've gone to. She's done her best to tour most of the clubs in the Entertainment District, from the tamer ones to the wilder ones. ABYSS is somewhere in the middle; freeflowing verve, the occasional throuple having sex against the wall, but in a classy way, you know. "Might have to recover for a few hours before we head there, though."
