Event 1: Gods and Monsters

[letsplayamod]

[Time is a bit difficult to measure in this place. The storms that rage beyond your safe barrier, overtaking the horizon with their shifting lights and shadows, aren't doing it any favors. If you were to ask Athena, she'd say it's been about a week since your arrival. And since then... there's been scant signs of things improving.

Today, you wake up to quiet. No drone of distant winds. Not even birdsong breaches your bedrooms. Like a inhaled breath, the world seems to have paused.

And then, it exhales. The ground under your feet trembles and shakes. Dirt flies. Rocks shower down from the direction of the cliffs.

There, like an open wound stabbed into the earth, was a large crack where there wasn't before, spilling out an oppressive red light. Stranger still, some larger rocks are floating over the opening itself.

...Investigate?]

What kinda fields?

Androids -- they have gotten to the point where it's hard to differentiate them from any random person on the street. Apps for your Bitphone with all kinds of effects on you, like that one going around that increases your strength by a lot...

[Actually illegal, that one, because some people were using them to punch each other]

...and also general communications. The phones you use with your brainwaves got popular about forty years ago. By now literally everyone has one, customized in any way they can want. Doing whatever you need with just your thoughts is very useful.

[That's partly why she feels a bit nerfed around here: her Bitphone had a lot of investigative tools and resources she could use]

...alright, controling things with your thoughts is a new one to me. If that's available, it's not common. Androids, too, aren't very common, but there are some known ones that exist.

That whole phone thing seems pretty useful for some people. I could see that technology being pretty popular in my universe. [he's got an intrigued look in his eye lmao]

I'd show you mine but I seem to have lost it since my arrival. It's been strange to not have my Bitphone on me at all times...

[She actually has two different Bitphones in her regains, so hey, she'd give her old ones to Quark if he wanted to take them back with him if he wanted to get them reverse-engineered, hah]

[latinumsbetter]

Hey, who knows. You might get it out of that cornucopia thing if you're lucky.
