⏵ PLOTTING ⏴ This post is for all plot-related questions! Things that don't have to be run by mods: A character wants to use an empty space to build something (though you may want to add it to locations!). A character starts a fight with another character. A character does something within the guidelines of a mission that would not affect the entire player base. Things that should be run by the mods: A character kills an important NPC during a mission. A character destroys a portion of the built city. A character wants to do something that will affect the entire player base. Please come to us with your ideas! Maybe your character wants to recruit a few other characters to try and escape the city, maybe they want to try and interact with Echo directly, or attempt to hack into the system at the hospital. We'll do our best to build plots around your ideas; if you dislike what we throw back at you, please let us know, and we'll offer alternatives when possible. Game plots are meant to be interesting for players and make playing in the game fun; to that extent, we'll do what we can to give you plot you can build off of.

Since it's related to this plot, Gorgug is going to go to the hospital and have a walk around to see what security is like by just being his good ol' normal self. He'll actually ask Aurora if he can see her-- actually her, if it's possible, under the premise that he just wonders how she looks.

Is there another post with information on the different floors of the hospital that are accessible?

Also, is it fine to find the basement computer with all the intel on everyone during this mapping of the hospital? And does the information on the computer include characters that have since left Etraya?

[etrayamods]

There is a post for the hospital now! It's here, and links from the locations page.

The computer does not contain data on characters that have left Etraya, only those who are currently on the planet.

As for actually seeing Aurora, she will approach Gorgug in her android body. If he asks to actually see her outside of that, she'll seem a little confused.

The security on the upper floors is non-existent outside of when newcomers arrive. When there are new arrivals, the companion bots carefully watch after the upper floors to ensure their arrival is as peaceful as possible.

The elevator does not go down to the underground floors without Aurora's explicit permission. Breaking in is possible - one can go down the elevator shaft regardless of whether the cabin does. If the underground floors start getting a lot of attention, Aurora will begin upping her security.

Gorgug would explain he means where Aurora's data is stored on Etraya, if it is! Explaining that he's never met AI like her before, and is curious about what she looks like as a computer.

Thank you for the link and info!

Aurora's "brain", so to speak, is on the one-hundredth floor below the hospital.

She would advise Gorgug to reach out to Accelerator and Yuri if he's curious - they have seen her central processing unit, but she is unable to tell Gorgug where to find her, as well as what precautions he would need to take to safely visit.

[tinflower]

Thanks! And would she give him permission to go down the lift sometime, or no? Not being pushy about it, but if she said he would need permission to go down, he would ask that.

[etrayamods]

She would permit him to visit the first couple of floors! As long as he takes a companion bot buddy along with him for the ride, or Aurora herself.

Visiting lower than that risks his health, as well as her own. She would allow Gorgug to go down that far, given the trust they've built between them. If he wanted to go with others (outside of Yuri and Accelerator), she would be hesitant to approve it.

[tinflower]

He would just visit with her or a companion bot! His initial visit to the hospital to check it out to ask about Aurora's brain would be Gorgug on his own, just being curious. Nothing more!

He would thank her and/or the companion bot he's with.

Coming back to this with talking about the answers to Chrollo's player (and this will be shared to them). In regards to the servers on the fourth floor, if Gorgug sees them and asks about them, would Aurora tell him what they are?

If he came back another day and asked if he could take a look at them, would she let him? If he promised to be careful, since he doesn't want to destroy them. And he's happy to do so under her supervision or a companion bot's (since she would want him to have company anyway).

Aurora would note that it is data pertinent to them, but would not be able to give a more clear answer than that! From the way she talks around it, it's clear that it's not intentionally keeping secrets - she cannot directly state what is contained on them, just that it has player character data on it.

Aurora would allow him to look at whatever he would like to on the first several floors. If Gorgug tries to access the servers, she will note that this is not a recommended action, but she will not move to stop him or offer any reason why it is not recommended, just shake her head in response to any questions as to why and answer again with the same response: "It is not recommended". The files themselves will be hard to gain access to - they are heavily encrypted, and attempts to get passed the encryption will have Aurora begin to attempt to stop him from pulling the data. She will let him know that the data does not need to remain down here, and she will not physically prevent him from taking it, even if she will continue to repeat that it "it is not recommended" to access it.
