FIRST OFFICIAL PLOTTING POST HOORAY

Okay so what is this plot all about?

Well we’ll get to that! This whole thing is basically a freewrite so I can just go ahead and write and get all the stuff out without having to go through all the pain of thinking. For now. Anyway here’s what we know so far:

The planet is a war games planet! Laser tag and stuff, nothing involving live ammo…

…that is until the Purists appear! DUN DUN!!!

So here’s the lowdown on that: As we know (or will know once I finish that OTHER write up haha) the Purists have infiltrated most of the political higher ups (ANT CLARIFY. I DON’T KNOW WORDS). On the planet there’s going to be an exchange between a Purist rep and some arms group I don’t know. A neutral party, a high ranking military official, is going to be overseeing the whole process.

The Normandy crew is going to get a tip off on said exchange. And, seeing a chance to expose/catch/etc. the Purists, or at least one of them, they’re going to storm the base. Cue firefight.

There are going to be full details once we have a good idea on how big our cast is going to be (HOORAY APPS!!! 8D) and who would react how.

No matter what, though, the military official escapes. This is where the rest of the game comes in—whoever so chooses the job that has to do with bounty hunting can bring this dude in.

IF FOR WHATEVER REASON nobody else in the game is able/doesn’t want to be involved/whatever, this job can default to a group that’s already involved in Purist plotting. Preventers? Someone who’s acting alone? We’re going to need a head count or something.

So after general dude is brought in, there’s going to be a trial (?). I don’t know the specifics of that, but the final result will be a huge expose on the Purists. We may have to warn the whole game? Not sure. ANT CLARIFY THIS TOO.

Extra stuff:

The Purists have information on the entire Normandy Crew! It’s possible though that Male Shepard is a wildcard, since the information they got was from a Legion that came from a Female Shepard storyline.

Garrus is a marked man with a “KILL ON SIGHT” order. This could be something to play with, whether with antagonists in the cast (AHEM TIM) or something that could come into play in the plot. Because of that, everybody is on watch, too, with emphasis placed on Shepard since she’s been helping him shoot people. PLAY AROUND WITH THIS INFORMATION GUYS!!! It’d be awesome if everybody could get their own piece of plot pie ALONG with a whole plot cake. WE ARE GOING TO GET SO FAT.
The Normandy Crew will be acting with LETHAL FORCE. I’m not sure how this will affect their relations with Preventer. Robyn, can you clarify this?

I FORGOT THIS IN THE ORIGINAL WRITE UP: We're also planning on having something happen to Mordin's clinic where one of the bodies Garrus brings in has been bugged using some sort of synthetic organ thing. This will put the clinic in danger (EVEN MOAR DANGER). RYO YOU PROBABLY REMEMBER/KNOW MORE ABOUT THIS THAN I DO. LET ME KNOW IF I MISSED THINGS!

The Normandy herself needs an awesome moment. ANY IDEAS?

There are people who are not part of the ME cast who will be involved too! The one who comes to mind is Fox mostly. IF YOU KNOW ANYONE ELSE WHO WANTS TO BE INVOLVED, PLEASE, LET ME OR ANT (mostly Ant) KNOW!!!! It’s already shaping up to be something big, so if it’s going to get even bigger, we absolutely must know in advance so we can accommodate everybody.

If I missed or got anything wrong, or if there’s anything you’d like to add, feel free to do so!


Use this post to ask questions and discuss any ideas you may have! Feel free to add, critique, etc. We want to make this as fun as possible!

Hell yes I want in. I always love doing stuff with Bill.

The Star Fox cast is basically just the pets of the Mass Effect cast anyway, amirite?
