Heist Results + New Upgrades!
The party's still rocking, all partygoers oblivious to anything heist-like occurring in the depths of the asteroid's complex! But what will the fleeters find? What's the ultimate result? It's time to find out!
On the heist mingle post, there are now two new toplevels for the final destination and the great escape! Feel free to use those!
The Laboratory
Those taking part in the heist were able to reach the final destination: the underground laboratory. Here, there are many, many computer terminals. Some are filled with information about what's happening in the system - trade routes, political details, some insight into some shadier dealings and goings-on. Other computer terminals have more intriguing info: files on Atroma. These files include speculation about the technology used, in-depth research into AI and computer logistics, and what looks to be investment information. On top of that, some files contain mentions of the Hosts and the Marsiva... It might be prudent to take some of this with you, if you can. Communications augments who went on the heist will of course have much better luck getting into any locked or encrypted files. Copy what you can!
ICly, players are free to get the data. OOCly, we will be answering questions in the comments below! Take the opportunity to do as much digging as you can, before time is up! (We will give it a few days, don't worry!) Any questions that we can't answer just yet will be explained as a data file that was corrupted during transfer or decryption.
But wait, there's more! Out of all of the computer terminals, two of them stand out way more than the others, containing two very important prizes for the heisters to grab:
More Upgrades!
That's right - more upgrades will be available after this! In the interest of not overloading you with information, we will make a new post in the OOC comm shortly, when the upgrades go live, with more information. For now, here is a breakdown of what the Fleet will be getting:
The information for these updates can be grabbed from a specific terminal, and once taken back to the Fleet, they will go into the network for purchase, effective immediately.
The AI Unit
This is what the Interceptor Fleet caught wind of. This is what ties Orfwin Dreadhorse to Atroma more than anything. This... is the ultimate prize of the heist.
A massive computer terminal in the back houses this behemoth of an AI program, and it is ripe for the taking. The Interceptors have two drives to copy the AI onto: one for themselves, one for the Fleet to keep. So, plug those drives in, and get going!
No seriously, get going, because once the on-board security system recognizes the unauthorized access (about ¾ of the way through the transfer), there will be alarms. And guards on the way. Oh boy...
The Escape Route
Once those transfers are done, it's time to run like your lives depend on it!! Going back the way you came would be far too risky, given the maze-like nature... but luckily, there's another secret tunnel in the back! Go, go, go!
This tunnel will take all of the heist participants back to the mansion! From there, everyone is welcome to slip back into the party and pretend like nothing serious just happened, or just head right back to their ships. Congratulations - it looks like, at least for now, the heist was a major success! Take your spoils and be proud!!
... There will be more information to come in the next few days. STAY TUNED, DEAR FLEET!

- How are they able to bring people from different worlds?
[ ... ] By adapting interdimensional technology obtained from [ REDACTED ] it is possible to achieve sending and receiving across universes. Until it is possible to obtain an artifact or relic to study in greater detail, it remains unclear where the line is drawn between transportation and replication.
- What is their real goal?
[ -- invalid search parameter -- ]
- Is it really just a reality show? If it is, how do you end it?
The long-running hit reality series known as The Drift Fleet continues to go strong through the turn of the century. Though viewer numbers have dwindled, enough popularity surrounds the show that it cancellation is unlikely. [ ... ] The length of a "cycle" varies, dependent on the course the participants take, and the actions taken in each system.
- What is there in the rest of the Marsiva?
[ ... ] As a Host Ship, the Marsiva featured in the current cycle is just as the others: the only aspects seen by the audience or the passengers are the hospitality deck and its facilities therein. The rest of the ship is believed to house the inner-workings of the show itself, such as production crew and other teams of people, but this has not been proven. Another theory is that perhaps the entire show is automated, or remotely controlled from afar. If anyone could possess the technology to accomplish such a long-distance remote control, it would be Atroma, masters of technology that they have become. Without concrete evidence, what truly lies on the unseen parts of the Marsiva remain a mystery.

- Is the augment in their heads sending information to them?
( There are a decent number of files looking into the augments, but all of them approach the topic as a viewer from the outside with no real access to an actual augment implant to take apart and fully research. As such, most information in these files is simply theoretical speculation. Specifically related to the question of whether or not information is being sent to them: It can be assumed that the knowledge given to passengers to do their augment-assigned jobs, or any extra abilities loaded into their augment via purchased upgrade, is on the augment, and not streamed to the passenger as-needed. It simply exists once installed. No extra information is being actively sent/streamed to passengers through the augments. )

R&D project #0088582-85-B
Objective: • To develop an artificial intelligence program that mimics all of the capabilities and processing powers of the on-board artificial intelligence program seen in the hit television series The Drift Fleet.
• To expand the capabilities of this developed artificial intelligence for use in other R&D projects TBD as needed.
