EVENT: ASP LORE SEE TEA

[trpmods]

(Temba, his arms open.)

WELCOME TO AGRA 10.

EVERYTHING IS BROKEN.

Well... not everything. The Data Point that you woke up next to when you arrived still works. You're sure of that, because of the way that it went ahead and downloaded a bunch of information into your head without even asking first. You have an idea of where you are, what happened, who brought you here, and what your job is -- which is to fix the place up, so the Agrii can come back home.

But ... what's that saying?

Right -- Put your own oxygen mask on before assisting others.

Before you can even start restoring Agra 10 to its former glory, you've got to make sure that your own basic needs are met. That means water, shelter, and food. Ideally it also means power and medicine.

The first two are pretty well taken care of, even if just temporarily: the fountain in the town square is a source for potable drinking water, and the hotel -- as people have taken to calling it -- is full of compartments, even if they're not quite built to the proportions you're used to. These are fine. You'll make do. But the Whale Comb feast is only going to last so long, and it's probably not a great idea to subsist off of sedative meat and intoxicating cherries.

Take a look around the town square, and you'll find the following buildings (the numbers are marked on the map for reference only - they have no such identifying features IC).

1. One of the tallest buildings in the city, this structure contains floors designed for growing food crops. Its walls are transparent to let the sunlight in, and the building is fitted with an advanced irrigation system. Underground levels are suitable for root vegetables and night-blooming plants.


2. This building leads into an underground area that looks like what, on Earth, might be an abandoned zoo....


3. "The Hotel" -Its large, overgrown lobby leads you to the staircase and over a dozen floors of rooms in varying conditions. Despite it looking as though no one has set foot in here for decades, the stairs and floors all are secure. The rooms that have doors on them open up to dusty rooms that all have a bathroom (of sorts) attached and long, narrow bed frames. Figuring out a mattress will be a challenge but at least this is a safe place to sleep. As long as no animals laid claim to this room before you got in.


4. This is a small, adorable building that is covered in foliage... Wait. Are those real leaves or is that carved? What is that intoxicating smell coming from inside?


5. This building has two entrances. You could even say it goes both ways. Heyoo.


6. Whatever was here, most of it isn't here anymore. The front entrance is beautifully painted in a pattern of stripes, but beyond that is mostly rubble. How sad.


7. This is another tall building designed to be impressive. Lower levels contain wide open spaces for recreation, along with rooms with strange-looking equipment that could just as easily be for medical purposes, torture devices, manufacturing, or sport (hint: it's the last one); entire rooms with a fading grid marked on the walls and floor; and a huge hall where it looks like lectures could have been given. Moving up you will find offices, and finally residential spaces on the very top floors. The roof contains a huge empty basin that could have been a swimming pool.


8. There is a big plaza in between these two buildings, which are set low to the ground and mostly destroyed. Fragments of circuitry, glass, plastics, and many other materials litter the ground. Dozens of shattered spheres - earlier iterations of data points - are scattered throughout this building, but obtaining their knowledge is not possible.


9. White seems to be the universal color of medical areas: quite a ways off from the hotel, a large, stark-white building stands against the sky like a solid cube. It seems to almost be made of the same glass as the weakly blinking signs around town. Touching it is like touching cold glass but there are no visible seams or connection points. It takes awhile to even locate where the door is as it’s only a slightly indented area from the rest of the wall and not centered. Pushing against it will lead you inside where you will see just what this hospital holds.


10. The tower rises up next to the blocky-looking station, which looks very sturdy indeed. Offices are on the lower levels, with upper levels containing a series of closets ... or are those jail cells? The only way to get to the upper levels is via elevator, which is not functional, but contains a 2.5cm diameter hexagonal slot in a panel off to the side of the elevator doors. The Tower allows for a panoramic view of the whole city, and also contains broadcast equipment. There is a data point here, and while it doesn't appear to be on, there is another hexagonal slot in its base...

SOME NOTES FROM THE MODS...
CRITTERS: We hope to have a post available soon with some examples of flora and fauna that you may find on Agra 10. Until that post is ready, we encourage you to come up with some of your own ideas - just remember that the greenhouse and farm are designed for agriculture, so biological specimens should fall under that general distinction (which is to say, more sheep than tigers, in practice). If you're not sure whether something will fit, please don't hesitate to ask!

CYAN SECTOR: Any of the buildings in the cyan sector of the city (as indicated by the map) are not accessible, except for those noted above. All of the buildings in the yellow sector, however, are fair game!

PLOTTING & POSTING: Please use top levels on THIS POST to PLOT for the event - organize parties to explore the city, figure out what your character will do and how things might go wrong (or right!) for them, etc. We have left a lot of pieces open ended - this is your city, after all. You live here now. Please post logs to the community, and mark whether the threads are open to all, select few, closed, etc.

EVENT DURATION: This event will run through mid-September. After that time, the Agrii may have something else in store for you, he rows...
