YES MORE PLOT STUFF. PLEASE READ THROUGH!

[calibrating]

Hey guys! Getting sick of me yet?

Okay so last post we went over the main events of the plot, but didn’t get a chance to really do a timeline. So here’s a proposal for one that will hopefully be flexible for all of us! There are also a couple of other things (involving character arcs and overall plot summaries) that could use some opinions, so be sure to check it out and drum up some discussion over here.

Originally I was going to make this all pretty, but I decided to get cute/corny about it instead. ANYWAY, screw it let’s get right down to the good stuff:

Proposed Timeline

Keep in mind: all dates are IC unless specified otherwise; this is just a basic blueprint of events, go nuts with anything else you’d like to do; if something doesn’t work for you or if you have anything to add, LET ME KNOW! It’s not too late to change things! Last thing that would be cool is feeling like you’re shoehorned into something!

August

Prologue/What's happened so far

What Weak Mortals

Kamui and Loki have been releasing these guns to the general public, thugs, etc.

Undercover Agents

Minato has a rival gang to Kamui’s, and has procured a shipment of guns. Minako has been infiltrating various areas in the slums related to the guns [Normandy Crew Black Ops Team has been assisting w/protection]
(If your character is also involved in undercover or investigative work, let me know in the comments, please! Also please specify what they’re doing exactly!)

Amelia, The Good Witch

Amelia has been setting up safe areas around the Thor, helping to prevent any refugee or civilian casualties.

ACT 1

30th

Attacked and Kidnapped!

(actual logging begins the 24th) Kamui, under Purist orders, breaks into the Normandy. Bakara faces off against him first, gets her krogan butt kicked. Joker is captured just after he locks Gunny and Kolyat in the bathroom like the losers they are.

Bakara is taken to the clinic for very obvious reasons. Wrex gets mad.

September

1st

Problematic…

Mordin talks to Fem!Shep about what’s happened after finishing Bakara’s treatment. FemShep hulks out and leaves the hospital.

Dave Nails overhears the whole conversation, including the bit about the guns.

3rd

Do You Expect Me to Talk? No, I Expect to Break Your Spine!

Joker is “interrogated” (log with NPC)

We’ve Got Some Bad News…

AEGIS in full is informed about what’s happened.

ACT 2

5th

Read all about it!

Dave releases the information he’s gathered to the entire network; general public is informed about the guns

Joker’s Message

Joker manages to get in touch with the Normandy Crew via omni-tool and reveal his location. He subsequently gets the ever-loving shit beat out of him, including taking a metal rod to his lower back.

7th

Rescue!

Normandy Crew infiltrates the Purist hideout to rescue Joker and bring back some souvenirs—namely, Joker’s interrogators. Datamining is also a thing.

Joker is brought to the clinic for intensive treatment. (Logs for visiting afterward?)

Eye for an Eye

Purist Operatives are interrogated in return by AEGIS, where a familiar name is brought up: General Doodicus

Minako’s snooping has paid off! We learn some interesting information not only on General Doodicus, but on the Purists as a whole.

Loki's name pops up

INTERMISSION

Take a breather, guys! No seriously, use this time to chill out, do some one-on-one stuff, backtag, etc. We just went through a lot. We’ll get back to playing on the 17th! OR if you have proposals for stuff that can happen, let me know!

ACT 3

17th

Protect the Innocent! Gather Allies!

Open logging begins! EVERYBODY GET IN HERE! The Avengers are out patrolling the ship for people who need saving. Do you want to help them? Hinder them? Need a hand with that thug? Get involved here! Nothing is off limits! (just no killing, please!) This is also where new people who are interested in joining in AEGIS stuff can get their feet in the door!

25th

Final Confrontation Part I

Let’s celebrate the NA release of the Avengers by having a good, old fashioned fight against Loki and some Purist baddies!

30th

Final Confrontation Part II

Loki lets it slip that Kamui, one of the other major players, is down on the planet. Fox flies Wrex and Aria planetside for another showdown. Everybody has to make their way back to the Thor before it leaves! (NOTE: this actual fight log will start on the 17th due to schedule stuff)
Not Everything is Happy

Well, Loki’s been grounded again, and some good information’s been uncovered. Unfortunately, if it wasn’t obvious already, Joker’s been paralyzed from the waist down. But not all hope is lost! It’ll take a while, but maybe some Stark and Preventer technology can help him get mobile again, one day.

AND FIN

OKAY. QUESTIONS. CONCERNS. IDEAS. EVERYTHING EVER. Let me know! Also, everyone can use this time to get in touch with one another to start talking specifics surrounding these events. REMEMBER. THIS IS JUST A BLUEPRINT!

ALSO!!! These dates don't have to be exact. There's leeway if needed!
