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!

Kimiko is the tick, the duct rat, the vermin living in the sewers, sucking little sips of lifeblood from the station's guts. She's too clever and too quick and to paranoid to become what Jade is.

But she does understand what Jade is, more than Hypatia does, maybe more than anyone does, except...maybe Sollux.

She's spent years waiting for a moment like this. Hypatia is not Kim's enemy, not as she sees it. Or rather, Hypatia doesn't usually make herself into Kim's enemy, for all that she's tried countless times to kill her. Kimiko doesn't blame her; she's the sacrosanct tapeworm. Nobody likes gastrointestinal parasites. But this operation is a little too bold for a tapeworm approach. Kim's never done this before, openly defied Hypatia beyond what is necessary for her continued survival. But then Jade moves into range and there's no more time for nervous waiting. After all, this is science, and science has no margin for cowards.

When activated, the hyper-wire Ellicot-Chatham-Faraday cage eliminates every external signal from accessing whatever's inside; Kim activates it and the field springs up invisibly over an area the size of a football field. It's enough of an alert that she won't be able to stay long, but the secondary effect is that without the mitigating force of Hypatia's direct intervention, Kim can temporarily exert her own control over the drones and machines and doors within the cage.

Control over Jade.

A quarter-hour won't buy enough time to escape, won't buy enough time to do more than mine Jade's prosthesis and cyberbrain for all the terrabytes she can download, but while she's working she'll be able to keep Jade from being forced to kill her, can give her a moment's rest, and can make her forget all about the subtle little mechanical tracker Kim will integrate into her systems.

The trap goes off. The doors all open in unison with the drones all dropping to the ground. And Kim darts out of a sewer-grate and into the open, blindly sprinting towards her friend Jade who is the weapon, the guard dog, and hostage.
