⇨ ESCAPE TIMELINE

[ringleaders]

ESCAPE TIMELINE↴ A lot of things are going on, and people have asked for a timeline of events! I may be being generous time-wise here, but action happens fairly quickly, and I am assuming no one spends much time dawdling. This is all a rough estimate. The "present" time is the 30-40 minutes mark. Gild has apparently been attacking/fighting the Mother of Invention for most of this time, keeping her distracted. ► 1 MINUTE: Childermass boosts his shadow teleport abilities with a Gild Mark and starts getting people out of their cells. This moves fairly quickly. Some information is quickly shared. ► 5-10 MINUTES: Team Rescue leaves for A5. Team Distraction enters the Farm and starts setting fires/damaging anti-fire equipment. Team Fortress heads to the staff area and quietly starts taking out emerging staff via Yukio's sleep inducing sniper gun. Staff are given alerts indicating that a fire has broken out in the Farm, which results in several of them leaving their rooms and immediately getting sniped by Team Fortress. ► 10-20 MINUTES: Team Loot leaves for A5. Team Rescue meets with Shimmer and starts swapping out Classification Chips to give Rita Beta level access. After that's complete, Team Rescue goes back to the teleporter, crossing paths with Team Loot. Team Loot goes to meet with Shimmer, and they send out an alert, hoping to lure in another Beta to steal a Classification chip from. Meanwhile, Team Fortress clears out a space in the staff item shop, and Team Distraction takes out some technicians that show up to try to stop the fire. ► 20-30 MINUTES: Team Distraction realizes that the fire may be burning too violently, and that no more technicians are coming to put it out. They start plugging vents to rob the Farm area of oxygen and keep the smoke from spreading. Sans grabs some fire extinguishers from the labs, which helps.Team Rescue finds Ignatius in C2, and frees him from his bonds, giving him healing potions to help him regrow lost limbs. Team Rescue meets up with Alyss, Reyna, and Samyaza who are apparently there with Gild. They all head back to Sector B7, to join Team Fortress. Team Loot waits for a Beta to show up, and eventually fights a security team with a Beta leading it. They take the Beta's Classification chip and put it into Tyki's implant. They leave through the teleporter and go to A3. ► 30-40 MINUTES: Team Loot fights a security team defending the A3 inventory. Lambert, Childermass, and Tyki manage to take them out almost singlehandedly,and then the group finds the storage area where everyone's stuff is being kept. They start unloading it into the eggspace dimension. Ignatius is brought to Team Fortress to rest, and Herbert attempts to remove some of his remaining implants. The fire in the Farm is mostly contained, though some smoke leaks to other parts of the Sector. Other stuff will probably happen. Some technicians have escaped but are regrouping in other parts of the Sector and/or are actively trying to leave the Sector thanks to the fire. ► 40-50 MINUTES: A violent series of tremors goes through the station, and then go silent. It seems like it might have something to do with the Mother of Invention and Gild. The Loot team heads back to Sector B7 with everybody's stuff in tow. Some people have returned Ignatius's power to him in the hopes that he will be able to help with the inevitable conflict. Upon the return of Team Loot, he's gotten about 60% back of what he gave away, which results in EXCITING BENEFITS TO EVERYONE WHO HAS CONTRACTED WITH HIM! IGNATIUS focuses his will and pushes back against the Mother's restrictions. All Ignatius contracts will now have 50% access to their abilities, regardless of when they sign on! Any new contracts will be under the same terms as what Ignatius offered during the Hunt. Rita will have the same percentage power that Ignatius has heart pieces returned, which is now 100%. This timeline will update as things occur.

⇨ ARE YOU GIVING IGNATIUS HIS FIRE BACK?

[ringleaders]

30+ minutes in, and Ignatius will be in the Fortress area. Everyone who contracted with him during the hunt was apparently given a fragment of his heart in order to power their magic, which has significantly reduced his personal strength. Your character does not have to give it back now, but it will potentially help him to act if more people return their Heart fragments to Ignatius.

Please reply here if you character is in the Team Fortress area and wants to do that! Doing so will mean that they will no longer be able to use their powers, but that may change if enough people do it. Ignatius will also extend contracts of protection to those that missed it the first time, in the event he gets his shit together.

SURE DUDE LIGHT IT UP

[impatientdefense]

Yeah, Beau can live with her punches being a little less badass in exchange for the fire fae making another try at burning an escape path out. And maybe he can do something about all the fire in the Farm? Just a thought? Thanks man.

[soft_focus]

Reira will quickly give her fragment back!

It's not like empathy is important right now.

[amphibiopathic]

Since team distraction has well and truly distracted the shit out of things, Eruka's going to give hers back to Ignatius and spend the rest of the time cowering somewhere until this is all over.

[osteothropy]

Sans doesn't have a contract, but he'll agree to one ASAP in the hope that something will change magic wise.

[fortuneglass]

Carly lacks a contract but will make one under the large hope for magic soon..

...and the Smaller hope that it somehow actually benefits Ignatius to have contracts or something.

[betheman]

Now that Zangetsu is around, he'll leave the soul surveillance to the one with better range. Gongenzaka will give Ignatius his piece of heart back.

[textsfromhotland]

If it's gonna get them outta here, Alphys will definitely give it back.

[atouts]

Now that team loot is back, yes. Once everyone has what they think they'll need from egg dimension, he'll return Ignatius's fire.

[alphudo]

As soon as Yuusei returns from Team Loot and hears about this, he'll readily give Ignatius his power back.

[kingsroads]

Once Team Loot returns and Strange does any last minute scrying/spellbreaking/magic that the plot may need, he'll return Ignatius's power.

[bananaspeedrider]

Yugo is also giving back his heart piece upon Team Loot's return

[hippocarnival]

After Yuya retrieves Steven he'll give his heart piece back to Iggy

[periphrasing]

Once it becomes clear that Peridot isn't actually going to lose anything by doing so, she'll return her piece as well.

CONTRACT

[spaghettimonster]

It takes a lot of hmmming and deciding, maybe a little consulting with people, but eventually Papyrus decides to contract up.

4 pieces!

[moonfang]

After Ignatius gets enough of his heart back to push the MoI's influence back enough for them to do the jobs they've been doing (defending portal in Rin's case, sensing threats in Zangetsu's), they'll both give back the pieces. Rin has one, Zangetsu has three.

CONTRACT

[scientificist]

Herbert inevitably decides to contract with Ignatius as he figures Ignatius probably owes him anyway what with all of the lifesaving he keeps doing for him. So obviously that means the contract is safe.

Contract

[worldlyafflictions]

Assuming Shima's there, he'll just go ahead and contract at this point.

[whattaprick]

Lambert will opt for the contract when he returns from Steven Fetchquest 2018.

Contract

[prazerbutterfly]

Now that I have a stable internet Tyki will take that contract now seeing as it falls into his 'whatever it takes' mentality right now.
