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!

Kanaya doesn't need to come up to the station, prefers not to because every time she does she has this feeling that she's leaving something behind that she can't remember. She returns to her little corner of the carbon plant and looks over carefully stitched words that she knows she made. Little scraps of what she's remembered that hold no relevance after trips to the station. Not until something triggers a memory relapse.

But she's still Hypatia's in the end, and like any robot, she needs repairs to her limbs. At the least, there's no additions Hypatia has seen fit to make. And sometimes she see's Jade, which is a weird-nice thing. Hypatia let her keep her memories of Jade, but it always feels like there's something missing just beyond their old conversations. Like there used to be others like her, bright eyed and eager to play and win and meet everyone.

She remembers this troll, she thinks. But this one isn't an enemy, not to her programming -- not like most of the others, the leader and the girl with the glowing circuits and especially the boy who once was human. So she watches the repairs curiously, perched on a table nearby. Watching mechanics rings with her, somehow. Like she used to know how to do things like this, something that wasn't killing.

There's a long pause as she gathers her thoughts, trying to sound as put together as possible. "Did you fight a lot, on the planet?"

"Fight? No, not a lot. Most of the resistance members are very easy to kill. I don't think it constitutes as fighting anymore." She remembers when she was new to this, new to the lack of memories of a life before this, new to her limbs and the synthetic blood. But is got so easy, the killing and the hiding and the lurking, that she finds it so so easy.

"Sometimes things break, though. They break them. The ones who I think fit into the pieces of my mind I'm missing." She doesn't mention that she never really tried to kill them, that she just attacks them and talks to them sometimes. She doesn't say that she never gives it her all, not really. Hypatia already knows that she's not much use as anything other than a destroyer of morale and an experimental sentient probe.
