Ten years later, humanity and the synthetic life on the station are at odds
Hypatia has inducted as many citizens of Sacrosanct into a private military and launched
an all-out war against organic life and the people of Asphodel.
Some were kept on the station as captives, some escaped down planet-side
to become part of the resistance, and countless others were re-purposed into
Hypatia's willing slaves.

Now, tensions are at a peak and both sides are preparing for a throwdown. Skirmishes break out on the station and planet. Many of Hypatia's prisoners have been freed, but many more have fallen to the clutches of reprogramming.

Where will you be?


How this works:
-If you are synthetic or part-synthetic, OR if you have special armor (Looking at you, Spartans, Troncast, EVERY ROBOT EVER) you are a target for re-purpose.
You can still have escaped down to the planet, but she'll be after you. Going to the station is dangerous, once you enter her wide-area-network you are at risk of being hacked

-If you are fully organic, you are either dead, kept prisoner and made to work on the station, or part of the resistance on Asphodel.

-Anything in-between? You decide. Be creative with this.

-Fill out the form below to give us an idea of what your character is up to, what happened to them etc. Thread with each other! RP it out!

-Also, bring in your extra journals! There won't be the same people on the station ten years from now! If you're planning to app someone, or just have something interesting lying around, toss them in!

This one is quick. A challenge. Excellent. It's never any fun if it's not a challenge.

He darts back, flashstepping out of the way and makes a noise that might be a laugh--dark, grating, more of a rasping cough than anything. He lets the sound ring around the caves again and bares his teeth in a hungry grin at his prey.

There's no recognition in his face.

[gamzgrewup]

He roars in rage and frustration as something happens, as the prey fights back somehow, fights him off. It sparks and hurts, like the lights his prey sometimes shines at him, and he stumbles backwards onto all fours. He leaps again, making incomprehensible snarling sounds as he scrabbles frantically at the bubble enclosing his meal.

Not fair. Not fair. Damned sheepmicefood.

[notyourchauffeur]

He doesn't wake, thankfully. He just curls tighter, much resembling how he once did when he'd found his escape from AM, balled in Convoy's lap, taking comfort in the presence of the other cybertronian.

He stirs briefly, long enough to release his helmet which transforms and folds into itself revealing his ruddy, gaunt face. Dry lips and tangled, chin-length hair, pulled back into a haphazard ponytail.

He squirms briefly, dreaming of some memory.

A sunny day on the station.

Something of comfort.

Shockwave says nothing more, remaining silent as he continues to work on the suit. Perhaps he's a bit slower than he should be, but his thoughts keep wandering.

He simply needs to concentrate and think of this as just another job. One he is not getting anything for, but Skyfire is a friend, for him it is fine that Shockwave gets nothing from this job. Skyfire is still important to him, that is something that hasn't changed.

When he finally finishes it, he carefully sets down his tools and speaks up, "It should work now... Just what were you doing, Skyfire?"

[selfkismesis]

Karkat eats the rest of the cookie, before shoving the other half of the sandwich at Gamzee. It's rude to eat all of someone else's food, jeez.

"You doing okay?"

[gottakilldaves]

He's used to how fucking crazy she is, but that doesn't make it any better. Makes him want to stab Hypatia right in her ugly fucking holographic face. If he could move, had a weapon, and if punching holograms was even possible. But he thinks she's getting better, maybe. Talking helps. He hopes it helps, because it's the only thing keeping him sane right now.

"Yeah? Well, good for lithpy. Always hated that prick, but I guess he does his job just fine." The other reason he liked talking to Jade: she gave him little bits of intel, updates on what the resistance was up to and what places they'd hit. If it wasn't for her, he'd probably still think Karkat was dead. "Glad you're doing alright. You better not be getting into too much trouble, I'd be pissed if you came back in pieces. How's your unicorn boyfriend? Still keeping you busy?

"I'm bored out of my fucking mind, same as always. Guess it'd be too much to ask to get my motor functions reinstated, maybe a working pair of eyes?"

[gottakilldaves]

IT'S WHAT HE'S ALWAYS DREAMED!!! Finally, he understands how Deuce feels, except without the freaky invisible bullshit cheater arms.

Wow, he can barely tell what's going on and even Jack realizes this is the stupidest fucking plan ever. There's like robots and shit everywhere. They're probably being shot it. This is dumb.

"You didn't even make a goddamn escape plan before getting into this, did you??"

[selfkismesis]

Oh, wow, way to be judgmental you stuped torso butt. Karkat's got this shit under control, even if they are being shot at. Because as he runs, he's dropping bombs. Lots and lots of bombs. Bombs that will soon start detonating.

"Shut up and let me run!"

BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BABY BOOM.

Sonic's reaction time is usually just as impeccable as his speed. But when he's going at full speed, it's a little hard for him to adjust. He notices the blast in time, but his body only manages to pull back slightly. The ground in front of him explodes, sending him spiraling through the air. He grits his teeth, trying to right himself in the air. He has to recover. He knows if he hits the ground badly, he's dead.

He tucks into a ball and rolls around the ground, trying to retain some speed, and rolls out of it into a screeching stop. His vision bleary, his ears ringing and what he's pretty sure is the scent of charred fur flooding his nostrils, he looks around, trying to see where the guy is. That shot was pretty much dead-on, so he can't be too far away, can he?

[gottakilldaves]

"My yelling isn't gonna fucking stop you, you dumb fuck!" Screeched directly into your delicate ears.

Not even fazed by the explosions. Instead he takes note of the more important detail here-- "Where the fuck are the bear traps, didn't you learn ANYTHING from me?!"

[notyourchauffeur]

The former drone huffs and shakes his head.

No, no help. Seeing Jin always brings a wash of unwanted memories. Things that distract him from what he needs to do. When Hypatia is dead- then he can rest and recover his memories.

Maybe become Skyfire again.

[selfkismesis]

"BEAR TRAPS DON'T WORK ON ROBOTS!" Most of the robots that had been chasing them were either exploded or focusing on the explosion. Providing a perfect getaway. Holla holla.

[gottakilldaves]

"THEN YOU'RE NOT FUCKING USING THEM RIGHT!" No. Bear traps rule. Do not pass GO, do not collect dolla.

[selfkismesis]

Dolla is collected as Karkat launches a bear trap from his Sylladex at an oncoming robot to prove his point. Unfortunately, the opposite of his point is proven as both the bear trap and the robot explode into glory.

[supernova1006]

He nods. He expected as much. Skyfire was his friend, his best friend. He still doesn't know what Jetfire is. They've barely spoken in all this time. There's so much Jin has wanted to say, but every time he sees Jetfire his throat tightens and his tongue locks up.

Seeing Jetfire hurts more than anything else, because unlike the dead or gone, Jetfire is still here. Here, and yet unreachable.

"Yeah." His eyes go distant, his gaze drops to his feet. "I suppose not."

[gottakilldaves]

Jack is still eyeless and thus can't see shit, but his ears are well-tuned to the sounds of beartraps and dead robots.

"HAH, SEE?! There you fucking go!"

[selfkismesis]

"Oh goddamnit, you're a torso. You have no eyes or limbs. You have no room to talk."

[notyourchauffeur]

"Crashed." Skyfire answers simply with a faint shrug. He turns and reveals a large bruising scrape on his shoulder blade from where his suit was forced in with the impact.

He almost manages to look proud of himself.

"Just a scratch."

[selfkismesis]

While there's no recognition in Gamzee's face, there is in Karkat's. He can see those indigo eyes and massive horns, and in an instant, he realizes what happened to Gamzee all those sweeps ago.

But that realization isn't enough to fuck with Karkat's concentration. Oh hell no. He's got no chance against Gamzee in a fair fight, and he needs to get this information back to the others. So Karkat does what he's been trained to. He starts dropping bear traps from his Sylladex, launching them straight at Gamzee.

[agentdork]

[ Hng. :( He knows that they need him to keep sane to be able to stay safe, knows that him not contacting Delta is the way they'll stay safest besides the obvious, but--

York curls into the spooning with a heavy sigh against Sarah's neck, curling in close to both of them, eyes still burning. Maybe it's from the tiredness, maybe from tears, he doesn't know any longer. ]

Yeah. Need you guys safe too. Can't imagine losing--

[ No, he's just not going to go there. ]

[gottakilldaves]

WRONG. He is not just a torso, he is also a head.

He will remind Karkat of this by biting his shoulder viciously.

[articletwelve]

Shh.

[ Wash slides a hand over York's waist and over his sides, just letting him feel the warmth of his hand. It's not much, but he knows how much feeling them close helps York, and it does wonders for him and Sarah too.

The longer York is like this, the more Wash worries he'll turn out like he did, but he's got them. It won't happen again.

He presses a kiss to the side of York's neck, gentle, and lets out a slow breath over the empty slot in his head, knowing better than to touch it right now. ]

You won't.

[selfkismesis]

"FUCKING SHITGODFUCKWHATTHEHELLWASTHATFOR--" Jack, you are getting DROPPED. And then promptly picked up. And dusted off. And tucked under an arm.

"You bite me again, I will remove your mouth." The logistics of this statement can't be verified, but fuck you. He'll do it.

[gottakilldaves]

OW FUCK you are dropping your poor old abused stabdad on the ground you horrible monster. He could've cracked a rib if his ribs weren't already reinforced with steel. Still he wheezes a little before Karkat hauls him back up.

"Oh yeah, like I haven't heard that one already." Thank fuck Hypatia never got around to replacing his voice box. "Stop calling me a fucking torso and get your ass moving!"

[notsoloyal]

The look Skyfire gets is a mix between flat and uncaring, and are you okay. Not the worse injury he's seen, but the suit seemed to have taken most of the damage.

"Have you gotten that looked at?"

It would be favorable to know if Skyfire's avoided a possible infection or not.

"You should consider some alterations to your suit." Not that alterations would make this kind of life safe, but perhaps minor scrapes could be avoided.
