massplotting | 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!

Hey, yeah thanks for telling me all about this comm, y'all.

Also, fuck yes lethal force.

And Sheploo is still in Mordin's clinic ~recuperating~ so he can be there to bust some skulls when shit goes down.

And I'd like to see Preventer get all up in their grill for lethal force so that Sheploo can renegade talk the shit out of someone because I am a horrible person.

He is also going to stick his omni-blade into a bad person.

Also, I love the idea of wildcard manShep, especially because he tossed his paperwork out the damn hospital window.

Uh, if I think of anything else, I will probably say it. I'm nursing a hangover so fuck computer screens.

OKAY COOL. I'll take it that Sheploo isn't heading down planetside? For reference I think we're aiming to have them storm the base around mid-month. I'll put up a full blown timeline when things are cemented!

It's ultimately up to Robyn, but getting some tension between the Normandy crew and Preventer would be pretty kickass! Even if it's just some bickering. We'll see how that goes!

Omni-blading is pretty much required.

AWESOME!! Wildcard Manshep (that sounds like a Marauder Shield's style nickname HAHA) can tip the scale in any direction. Like he can wind up saving everybody by being a jerkass, or he can wind up screwing things over... by being a jerkass. WHICHEVER YOU WANT.

GO EAT AND LAY DOWN BRO GODDAMN

Ooooh what kind of tension you want?

Well, basically... Renegade Shepard has no problem with blowing a dude's head off and will probably do that several times during this.

Sooooo... yeah.

Yeah they hate killing. There will be arguments about this! 8)

AS AN ADDENDUM TO WHAT INC SAID:

That's going to need a bit of brainstorming amongst the cast, BUT, I think it'll eventually come to a head between lethal force and non-lethal force (I know Garrus at least is getting frustrated enough to want to just storm the Purists with guns blazing).

Do you have any ideas on what you'd like to have happen? :D?

Hm...they can like compromise. She doesn't like killing but can stand by it if it's NECESSARY. So there can be tension if they killed some derps who could have lived without consequences to them. "They may not be like you and me but they have families, too!" etc etc...

Shepard would take full blame and responsibility for anything his crew did and then tell Preventer off if they got on his ass about it. That's how he rolls. And uh, he's not really the passive aggressive type, so if there's tension, he'll just come out and say something about it.

she appreciates forwardness. :) and yeah, sometimes one has to make alliances with people who have differing ideals etc etc so we got this

hah. hahaha... yeah, Shep knows all about alliances sob

He'll probably be able to go down planetside around then. He's just staying in the clinic for now instead of his room because Mordin is a total bro. SO he can come along and storm the base and be a badass with the rest of the badasses. I CAN DO EITHER/OR/BOTH so it doesn't matter to me.

Bickering and headbutts is a must. ROBYN DO YOU HEAR THIS?

He can do BOTH SORTA? He can save everybody somehow but then sell some info they get on the Purists to TIM afterwards or something. HE JUST WANTS TO KEEP TIM FROM FUCKING WITH HIS CREW so he might do a thing or two for the bastard here and there as his way of keeping tabs on TIM while also building up his own contacts.

Judge him all you want, crew. Renegade Shep has a method to his madness, a very badass method.

The more badasses the better! Also with a bigger crew, we're going to need more leaders anyway! Both Sheps can pick a squad (schoolyard dodgeball style!) and we can go from there!

I AM DOWN WITH THAT. It'd be awesome to have TIM do his thing as a major antagonist even now and that added layer of being unsure about New!Shepard (he's just ranking up those nicknames). JILL IF YOU'RE READING THIS, YOU HAVE OUR FULL BLESSING TO BE A DICKHOLE.

;w; O Captain my Captain?

I like that idea. Yes, pick a squad and go with it. TWO TEAMS FTW.

YEAH, TIM already boner'd when Shepard mentioned getting his missions done at whatever the cost and shit like that. And Shepard sorta had enough with Kaidan being a suspicious dick about what he was up to, SO he'll most definitely be keeping things a secret >_>

...Dammit Sheploo. :|

Aww yeaahhhhhh picking a squad 8D

One squad gets the mako, one gets the hammerhead

And both Shepard's get to drive.

OH, EXCITING!

He needs to pull out in front of her and give her the bird or something because he's mature

LMAO DO IT

jfhsagfuia

She'll get right on his ass later on too B| wail on her horn... if they even have horns sdjfisgjuis

YEAH IDEK WHAT I'M SAYING ANYMORE. IT'S LATE BRO
