Residents of the Tower may have noticed, over the last couple of days, that a few of the worker units with chipped collars have made their way into the residential levels of the Tower. They are much more prone to attempting to help the residents avoid death, giving them detailed warnings about jobs, being more gentle about collar checkups, and explaining to new residents that they have to eat the oatmeal first. Just after midnight on April 8, Jason can be heard over the intercom:
"All worker units report to the administrative levels for emergency maintenance."
All worker units are gone from the residential levels of the Tower for three hours. When they return, none of the visible worker units have chipped collars. But, as the week goes on, the worker units begin acting odd, and various residents begin disappearing...
It seems Jason made a bit of a miscalculation (or maybe it was intentional...), and now the worker units are acting strange. Some of them do nothing at all, standing in corners and staring at walls. Some do everything far more rapidly than any human should be able to move, making them look wildly unnatural. Some are hostile to residents of the Tower, ranging from simply ignoring them to actively attempting to kill them. And occasionally the retrieval units show up and drag someone away, down into the infirmary behind a locked, impenetrable door, for no apparent reason.
One character per player may participate in this plot. Those who sign up will vanish from the Tower at some point this week (the time is up to you; you can have them vanish as soon as you sign up or wait until the last day before the plot begins), having been dragged to the infirmary by the retrieval units. They will be subject to
brainwashing and surgical modification before being released back into the Tower acting--well, different.
The following options are available for the modification:
Group A: The mystery option. This group is subject to the most intense modification and brainwashing, and this option is likely to be the most traumatic.
Only seven characters will be chosen for this group.Group B: This group will be turned into something similar to retrieval units. This group is subject to intense modification and brainwashing, second only to group A.
Group C: This group will be turned into something similar to an advanced worker unit, such as the ones which work in the processing center of the Tower. This group will be subject to moderate modification and brainwashing.
Group D: This group will be turned into something similar to a basic worker unit, such as the ones which work in the residential areas of the Tower. This group will be subject to mild modification and brainwashing.
If you would like your character to be chosen for one of these groups, please fill out this form and place it in a reply
to this comment. Note that you cannot specifically request group A--because this group is limited, we will be randomly selecting characters from those who request the possibility.
