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!

Name: Chell(bot)
Current location: Sacrosanct
Current Physical Appearance: Being synthetic, she hasn't visibly aged. Her gaze is oddly blank, the lights in her irises now the same icy blue as Hypatia's hologram form.
Summary:
She didn't stand a chance.

The programming that had forced Chell to obey GLaDOS worked just as well for Hypatia once she got her claws into it. Chell rebelled for a while, subverting what orders she could, trying to escape at every opportunity; but Hypatia got the better of her in the end. With most of her original memories and personality suppressed, Chell is as tame and obedient as her new mistress could hope for.

She's no soldier, but Hypatia has a different role for her. Her portal gun and knack for finding hard-to-reach or hidden places make her the perfect choice to seek out whatever rebels remain on the station.

If she's good, sometimes she's allowed to test the prisoners.

Sometimes, when he reached too far into trying to subvert Hypatia, he would have to change locations, and fast. Most of the time he could get out of the way.

Sometimes, they sent her after him, and he would have to move fast.

He knew that Hypatia knew where she was, and he was packing up what he could. He just hoped he could get away before she showed up.

Chell knew the station better than almost anyone by now, but finding her quarry would still be next to impossible without Hypatia's many eyes.

(Sometimes, when she passed a camera, she had the strangest urge to pop a portal under it and knock it off the wall. She could never remember why.)

As soon as she receives the coordinates where he was last sighted, she's on her way, flinging from building to building to speed her passage.

It's been about a week since he arrived in Sacrosanct, undergoing a one-man reconnaissance mission. So far, it had been pretty damn successful. For now, he's organizing his notes and planning his next investigation, all while remaining hidden in the remoter regions of some zone whateverplace. Hypatia was probably on to him by this point, which meant that he needed to get the fuck out of Sacrosanct, soon. Unfortunately, for his risks, he was getting invaluable information about where Hypatia's best hackers were, which meant that he wasn't going to leave any time soon.

She recognizes this one. He's tricky; she's failed to catch him before. And he was last spotted in a Garden Zone, which puts her at a disadvantage due to the lack of proper portal-conducting surfaces.

Chell doesn't think he's actively fleeing yet, though. They usually don't avoid the cameras so well on the run. If she can just find his hidey-hole, maybe she can ambush him...
