Some notable in-world events are described here.
The first story arc of the reboot, which took place from May 2, 2023 to November 2, 2023. See Felicity Love.
Recording of the event:
The Gough ceremony took place on September 24th, 2023 on Gough Island. The event was broadcast over all agent systems, rendering them unusable for regular communication between Emtanon employees. The ceremony lasted about 20 minutes and contained:
The event was riddled with technical difficulties, with the live feed disconnecting multiple times. It was supposed to end with a grand speech by J, but was cut short by an unforseen visit from the South African navy carrying out a surprise audit of the Gough weather station.
During the memorial, SSTV images of MELTR3 crew were broadcast.
Operation Spice was a failed WORM operation in Lima, Peru, which aimed to capture and detain counter-operatives from a local hackerspace. Due to mismanagement and several organizational mishaps, the operation led to the capture of agents by the Peruvian cartel, and eventually, thanks to our interference, to the loss of the ship MO3 and defection of the crew of MO5.
FACILITY is an old cargo ship that was retrofitted as a prison for the “counter operation” and disobedient Emtanon employees. Threats of detainment there were once common. FACILITY also had a resident “judge” that gave out sentences in “trials” that were certainly free and fair.
Jeff provided us with some passwords to FACILITY's semaphores. On February 10, 2024, we found a semaphore filled with 0xFF
bytes; we flipped them to 0x00
, having no idea what it'd do. Afterwards, we learned this unlocked all prison cells. Some detainees managed to take control of the bridge and barricade themselves there. We established contact with them over Iris.
At the time, FACILITY was in the South Atlantic Ocean and heading for Gough Island. Hoping to rescue all detainees, we ordered them to set course for the nearest land: Saint Helena. MO2 was dispatched to assist at FACILITY. They managed to remotely disable FACILITY's engines, allowing MO2 to catch up to them. The detainees who took over the bridge voluntarily surrendered – but not before asking us to unlock all cells again at a specific time.
After unlocking, the detainees returned to the bridge, killing all its occupants with some sort of chemical weapon they found in a storage. Afterwards, they locked up the rest of the crew in the cells. The detainees then set course for the Pacific Ocean, as it was completely devoid of Emtanon assets.
With FACILITY definitely out of control, J decided that it must be remotely scuttled. We assisted the detainees with disarming the package of explosives aboard the ship, following instructions we intercepted on a terminal months earlier. J personally executed the commands intended to scuttle the ship; he was fooled to believe they worked, while in fact they did nothing. In message 19424, J described the scuttling as FACILITY crew's personal demand.
FACILITY hasn't been sunk, and it remains under control of the former detainees, while its former crew is locked up in the cells.
