July Plot Post & Announcements
As of this post, the two invading groups of aliens have been subdued and captured. As per the players' vote, these aliens will be kept on the station as captives. The network can now be accessed through each character's passport bracelets in order to make new posts and responses to others.
However, because of the events of the last week, Knowhere is not in the condition it once was. Beneath the cut you will find information about this month's events, as well as OOC announcements.
OOC ANNOUNCEMENTS
1. Because of the game's grand opening, there will be no activity check for June. The first activity check will take place from July 24-31. At this point, players will provide activity from the last week of June as well as the entirety of July.
2. The network is now active! Players are now welcome to make their own posts to both![[community profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/community.png)

JULY PLOT: REPAIR KNOWHERE
Following the attacks of late June, the station of Knowhere is damaged and nearly deserted. Characters now have access to their barracks, the marketplace, the observation deck, Starlin's and Continuum Cortex, as well as the hallways between.
A Kree man by the name of H'rry will be available to answer the transport's questions. However, his answers won't be very helpful. Yes, the characters are now hosts of a shard of an Infinity Gem. No, this cannot be removed. Yes, the Continuum Cortex should be able to send characters home. However, its capabilities were significantly damaged in the attacks, and for now it can only draw in new transports.
Additionally, many of the inhabitants of Knowhere fled during the attacks-- taking their spaceships and other transport with them. There is currently no way off of the station, and many of the shops and residences of the station have been abandoned.
H'rry's announcement makes a few things clear: one, the Storage Crystal is vastly important, and must be found. Second, no transport will have access to the captives unless they make a convincing case. Third, the station itself and the Continuum Cortex must be repaired.
1. FIND THE STORAGE CRYSTAL
2. NOT-SO-DIPLOMATIC RELATIONS
3. CAN WE FIX IT?
4. WHERE DO WE GO FROM HERE?
QUICK FACTS
1. The network and certain aspects of the station are now open for use/exploration.
2. Characters who wish to search for the Storage Crystal must remain in the search zone for at least one week.
3. Characters must submit a case below if they wish to have access to the prisoners.
4. The Continuum Cortex and station must both be repaired; each of these tasks will have IC consequences.
5. A status-update will appear on July 28, along with the next stage of plotting.
As ever, this post may be used for player plotting! Please direct any questions to the mods under the correct heading below, and use the appropriate headers to submit cases to H'rry and sign up to repair the Continuum Cortex. Have fun!

Following the attacks of late June, the station of Knowhere is damaged and nearly deserted. Characters now have access to their barracks, the marketplace, the observation deck, Starlin's and Continuum Cortex, as well as the hallways between.
A Kree man by the name of H'rry will be available to answer the transport's questions. However, his answers won't be very helpful. Yes, the characters are now hosts of a shard of an Infinity Gem. No, this cannot be removed. Yes, the Continuum Cortex should be able to send characters home.

H'rry's announcement makes a few things clear: one, the Storage Crystal is vastly important, and must be found. Second, no transport will have access to the captives unless they make a convincing case. Third, the station itself and the Continuum Cortex must be repaired.
1. FIND THE STORAGE CRYSTAL
According to H'rry, the Storage Crystal may have been taken to the area beyond the Observation deck-- into the brain of Knowhere. Unfortunately, this is also the area that has been most effected by the aberrations in space/time. This area of Knowhere is almost entirely unnavigable, with inconsistent twists and turns. There's no accurate way to map this area, but the Storage Crystal must be found.
Characters who choose to brave this area of the station will be lost for at least 7 days. They will still have access to the network through their bracelets, but will be unable to make their way back to the main part of the station for at least a week (and therefore cannot take part in other action/logs for this week).
Characters are allowed to and encouraged to pool their efforts and create expedition teams, or encounter one another within the maze.
2. NOT-SO-DIPLOMATIC RELATIONS
The two groups of alien attackers are now be held by H'rry and the rest of the Cortex's staff at an undisclosed location. If characters wish to see these captives--to speak to them, or anything else--they must make their case to H'rry. He is unlikely to condone torture and will look for a valid reason--something that will get the transports closer to repairing space/time. Groups of transports will be more likely to be allowed access than individuals; H'rry wants to promote cooperation.
Players who wish to have access to information on these attackers must state their case in the comments below. Starting on July 7, players will be informed if their case has been accepted. These players will then receive specified information that their characters will be able to discover and share with other transports.
3. CAN WE FIX IT?
Characters with technological know-how or a willingness to learn will be encouraged to help repair the Continuum Cortex. As this is an endlessly complicated device, the repairs are slow-going and will suffer many setbacks. Characters should be advised that small-scale explosions. Additionally, as the characters begin to make progress, the teleporting capabilities of the Cortex will come back online. Unfortunately, until the Cortex is fully repaired, these capabilities will be erratic.
Characters who sign up to repair the Cortex may find themselves randomly transported to other parts of the station, including the area where the Storage Crystal has been lost and other uncharted aspects of Knowhere.
The bulk of these repairs will be done between July 7-21.
Additionally, the rest of the station must be repaired! These are more mundane damages and any character should be able to help. Doing so may result in rewards for your character later on.
4. WHERE DO WE GO FROM HERE?
On July 28, the Cortex staff will make an IC announcement about the characters' progress. Depending on how the meetings with the captives, search for the Crystal, and repairs go, this may have different outcomes. Look out for an OOC post with more information closer to that date!
