Unscheduled Downtime

[ornithologist]

tl;dr version: Aurora will have only essential functions for a couple weeks during the mission. This is the outcome of a small player plot that isn't likely to impact the game at large - and characters who don't frequently reach out to Aurora may not notice any changes at all, given everything is being kept running according to plan. But you're welcome to run across his CR circle taking over some tasks for Aurora during this time.


So Bossie nottheboss killed Cloud nimbuster to see if God was listening in the couple weeks leading up to the mission and Harold asked for an exception with Aurora to pay Cloud's death pass and prevent the resulting mem loss before he resurrected. Normally, you have to pay this prior to the death occurring.

Aurora agreed, but was reduced to only essential functions for a period of about 2 weeks during the mission. (Maybe this is why she's not available for the new arrival speeches on the TDMs and the bots are going a bit amuck?) Cloud's actual death occurred pre-mission, but Aurora was able to postpone the consequences until now.

Harold is tasked with ensuring things stay running smoothly while Aurora is reduced to limited functioning, and being Harold, he is not likely to make a public network post about anything.

Harold will probably only be reaching out to preestablished CR and making individual requests for help with this, but you're more than welcome to have your characters notice what's going on! Feel free to comment around here in this post to set up interactions with characters working on this if you'd like!
