Some of Aco’s media story may be set right at the start. Depends on
what he does exactly. I’m still not exactly sure on what Ahuizotl and
Rat are doing. Everything between the shadow team infiltration and
Strago’s tale is up in the air as far as ordering goes, but both Aco’s
and Tay-Dor’s will likely happen in the order listed due to location.
Tay-Dor’s involves the labyrinth, so the location is fairly set. Aco,
the floors I’ve listed would be good ones for you to use. Level 122 is
used by the Greens, but has a lot of trideo equipment and levels
123-130 are mostly abandoned. There is (or was) a resistance group on
floors 126-128 which could be useful - they could be the group your
newsies were in contact with. I have absolutely no idea where Renee
wants to set hers. Same with Logan. Tamino’s story location is a
suggestion based on the fact that he’s dealing with the Renraku team
(probably) and they’re going to be moving down. It could also be set
lower if it is placed near the end. Strago’s location is a suggestion
based on where everyone is moving to. The finale location is pretty
set, unless we want to move further down. Level 41 is the highest
holding pen that would be of any use to us, so that’s where the shadow
team’s target will probably be. There, or level 40, where they do the
experimentation.
Oh, and Mockingbird - I was thinking about some problems I had with
your idea before. If you recall, I was wondering why Renraku was
sending a second team into Deus’ territory and how the first team would
avoid getting swatted by the anti-air defences? Well, if you haven’t
got any ideas, I think I have. The reason the second team had to go in
is because, after the Red Sammies took back part of the arc Deus had to
try to cut off all the I/O ports in that part of the building.
Otherwise the Renraku deckers could get inside easily. So either he had
his goons do it physically, or he packed the access ports with black
ice. So the only feasible way to get a decker in is from Deus
territory. This leads directly to the second point. The first part of
the second team’s distraction is to TAKE CONTROL OF THE ANTI-AIR
DEFENCES on the appropriate level. That lets the strike team land
safely. The second part of the distraction is the noisy stuff, which is
designed to stop Deus and his goons from noticing a) what they’ve done
to the anti-air defences and b) the strike team.
Anyway, that’d be my suggestion if you haven’t already gotten something
for it.
So a summary of the core teams’ movements:
UCAS team infiltrates level 6, grabs a lift and shoots up to somewhere
between levels 100 and 200. They are forced to change lifts once or
twice, have an encounter or two and get to level 203 where they meet
with Cliber (on the floor above her old offices – thought that might be
appropriate :) ). They get down to somewhere between levels 199 and 194
and are ambushed by the Renraku team. They meet the Resistance (UCAS
Team Infiltration) and work their way down to somewhere between levels
51 and 80 where they temporarily link up with the shadow team to grab
the leech serum. (Leech Serum Retrieval) They then ambush the Renraku
team between levels 40 and 50 and the two survivors escape – probably –
without Cliber. (Finale)
Renraku team infiltrates via the helipad on level 220(? – not sure of
the exact level). They make their way down to 203, but miss Cliber.
They follow the UCAS team and ambush them between levels 199 and 194.
Then they keep heading down. (Renraku Team Infiltration) I’m not sure
where Mockingbird intends to finish with them, but somewhere between
where he finishes and level 50 is where Tamino’s story will take place.
(AI Story) They are then ambushed by the UCAS team between levels 40
and 50, lose Cliber and are all or mostly killed – probably. (Finale)
Shadow team infiltrates via Ork Underground on basement 4. They make
their way up to 123. (Shadow Team Infiltration) They run into Aco’s
media team (Media Story), and are then assisted through the labyrinth
by a troll ganger. (Troll Ganger Story) Once through they find out that
their target is down lower (sorry about that :) ) from resistance
members in all probability and head back – this time they bypass the
labyrinth. They find their target on level 40 or 41 and realise they
aren’t going to be able to free her intact. Said resistance members are
likely to have mentioned the leech serum, so they realise they need to
get this and manage to find a resistance team between levels 51 and 80.
They get the serum and head back down (Leech Serum Retrieval), freeing
their target in the nick of time (?) and escaping into the Ork
Underground again. (Finale)
This leaves Ahuizotl’s, Logan’s, Rat’s and Renee’s stories. You’ll
notice that the Renraku team and UCAS team only feature in one
intermediary story each, compared to three for the shadow team, so if
you guys can work your stories in with them, it would be good.
Sorry about the formatting of the table if it's out. Try pasting it
into a Word document if you can, as that's what I was working in.
If I've gotten anything wrong, speak up!
