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!

He finds her hand and runs his fingers over her knuckles thoughtfully. God, she's just skin and bones. This isn't how Buffy's supposed to be-- fragile and lost. It's wrong.

"Of course. We've got movies to watch and shit to eat."

"Good. I start forgetting when you go away. What we talked about. My memory drives are malf--"

She stops herself and takes a deep breath, her hand tightening around Karkat's. No, no, she might still have a synthetic eye, parts of her mind might literally be circuitry, but she is a person. She is not a computer.

Not anymore.

"My memory doesn't work well yet," she corrects herself after a moment to rearrange her thoughts. "Things don't... stick. I think I forgot how to remember things like a person. Is that possible?"

[selfkismesis]

"Yeah, it is." It shouldn't be possible, but it is. Fuck you, Hypatia. "Have you tried writing things down? I can get you pens and whatever if you need it?"

[notthatbuffy]

Buffy ponders this for a moment. The act of physically writing something down could potentially trick her memory into thinking it's writing to a very slow drive, and make it easier to remember. Or, if nothing else, she'll be able to look at it and remind herself what she's remembered.

She nods. "Yes. If it's not any trouble. I think it might help."

...She grabs a whole three pieces of popcorn and adventurously puts all three in her mouth at once. She is such a badass.

"Alright, next time I come, I'll bring paper and pens. Colors and shit, so you can coordinate or something."
