{Quest} Take Back GC Safe Zone Effort!
| > Not long after customers of the megacorportation WhiteLightning received this message, several other reputable businesses have been requested to help in exchange for various deals. A number of armored bulldozers and trucks are steadily making their way to rendezvous at a strategically advantageous area to begin operations. Since this has started the Fiber-Internet company has been sending out holo-mails to anyone whom might be interested in assisting. Will you answer the call?
| > Looking at the massage with amazement.
Ok, we are doing it. Who ever this girl Aethia is, she definitely know how to put the show in the road...
| - Vereks
| I'll been doing maintenance on the public matrix networks. While it's not anything really amazing, it should help deal with some of the instability the past couple of day. -CN
| >>83267 >>83286 Thank you both for your response. Vereks, specifically, for encouraging me to get off my ass. Its gonna take time to make a difference...but, hey, I doubt we'll be without others to answer the call.
- Aethia
| ah, what the hell. i'll do what i can. -IN1
| I don't have much, but I'll try to support the effort with what little I have! -MERCurio
| >>83306 That depends on what we can manage to secure. I have a ballpark figure for about 10 acres of land to start and another ten if we can manage it. You see...we need to *secure* the land first. Which is going to require armed forces. I'm *HOPEING* the police will like me enough to help. If not...well I'll hire mercenaries.
- Aethia
| Knowing how big GC is, it's a bit of a struggle to think of a realistic figure without any military resources already on hand. WLF isn't a military company soooo...I'm hoping this is where other businesses and volunteers come in.
Also, >>83303 >>83299
Thank you two for your contributions if they be in funds, action, or service. Please register with us on the website that'll be up in 48 hours on what you'd like to do. Or just tell us here.
- Aethia
| >>83330
Well, 10 acres it is. We should get a good solid foothold. And take extra ground WHEN and IF we need more. I'm hoping the police will help us. Better for everyone. And what amount of heat we are at anyway? Rockets? Really? Should we convert one of the bulldozers into makeshift tank, Killdozer-style?
-Vereks

| >on patrol, sees holo mail
>83342
I heard some news about this in the station, I'll put it some word and see what i can do about securing an armed squad or two.
Your friendly neighborhood PD
-Ferris
| >>83342 Killdozer? Lol Well...I know some R&D folks that would love to work on something other than wires all day. Pitch it to them and see if they want in on the insanity. Just...don't destroy anything you don't have to. GC's suffered enough.
>>83654
Thank you, Ferris. I know I teased you a little while ago...but thank you for caring. It's a rare trait.
- Aethia
| >>83689
>uploads a scematic of convertion. By and large, it's just a bulldozer with added armor, anti-rocket metal grid and a LMG on the cabin roof. Nothing too fancy.
Well... LMG could be replaced by high pressure water cannon... for non-lethal option.
| Hey [Aethia], brass is a bit skeptic. -how- are you going to maintain the security for a long period of time for the safezone anyway? Even i wouldn't want to invest in something that pulls out quick
And dont worry at all about the teasing haha
-Ferris
| >>83718 Okay. I'll pass that to my R&D. Do you want to be a part of the construction or...? I mean if you do I can have them pick you up later?
>>83736
Well you already know that I've been a bit more amenable to the idea of Mercenaries. Right now I'm looking at balancing funds for a group to handle the security process until I can supply my own security detail to supplement them. What does the police need in order to comfortably do their job?
- Aethia
| Just assurance that the project will be big enough to be worthwile and impactful enough to give people a reason to look at them since they're mostly convinced by the chance to show off, and get fresh popularity wise.
As for equipment, i can safely say that we have much more equipment than... willing personell..
-Ferris
| I swear the more i talk to these guys in charge the worse i feel for the city
-Ferris
| >>84341
New experiences are usually the key toward learning about the self. Are you sure you don't want to at least enjoy watching them put it together? Lol
>>83777 Yup. That's pretty much why everyone makes fun of the police these days. But hey...You can tell them that this is their chance to change that. I'll be amazed if all of GC doesn't notice that they're helping all of a sudden.
- Aethia
| >84379
In their defense, going out leads to someone getting shot more often than not.
So i understand that they wouldn't want to stick their necks out.
Lol maybe we should put some ads out for a PSA- please stop shooting at us so we can do our job
-Ferris
| On a brighter note, i got them in by saying it'll be a REAL easy job, being spearheaded by a megacorp that seems to be pretty serious about it.
I have 2 dozen men and some pretty decent equipment.
Just say where, when. And we'll roll out.
I got put as acting CO for this op,, probably so that they can pin the responsibility on me if anything goes wrong.. so im kinda screwed over if it does.
-Ferris
| >>84404
Yeah. On paper they seemed like a real strong force. The way they were organized, the level of equipment they had.
And i just loved the name "white knights" and the armour they wore when i first heard of them.
. . .but corruption really did them and the city over huh
-Ferris
| >>84409 Yeah it did. In the end they were chewed up by that corruption just as badly as the police currently are. At the risk of sounding self righteous...A lot of the reason the city is as bad as it is involves the fact that nobody was held accountable for an extremely large amount of time. For a little while the White Knights did that for the police, because it was clear they weren't going to do it. It's why people believe in Mercenaries and vigilantes.
- Aethia
| Hopefully after they help with this effort...They'll understand that this is more than about looks. Hopefully I can find enough volunteer vigilantes and mercenaries to supplement their involvement.
-Aethia
| >>84379
you know... Watching a bunch of eggheads trying to make a tank out of bulldozer... ^_^ It's going to be fun. Count me in. Pick me up when ever you are able to.
- Vereks
| >>84425
In general, the suppression of riots 50% is available in the form. The depersonalizing uniform, the formation is all that would make the guards more frightening.
| How many men are we going to need for this op though? How much do we expect?
I might juuuuust convince my superiors to send more in. If only to maintain being the major force in the operation. I dont wanna take away anyone's spotlight or anything but it's how i'll convince them into sending more men.
-Ferris
| >>84577 Then I'll have them pick you up in the morning. Be sure to take plenty of pictures! It might be a fun thing to look at later down the line. Knowing my R&D department they're going to make a damn party of it. Haha.
>>85605 I've not entirely considered. What would you suggest? To be honest I'm still working out the logistics as we speak with my employees...
| - Aethia ^
| I think what I have now is enough for securing 10 acres, im worried that all the heat we're packing might be a bit overkill even.
... Just how much resistance are you expecting anyway?
-Ferris
| >>85792
I don't know... Enough to warrant building a makeshift tank.... And construction barricade what can take a rocket
- Vereks
| >>85792
Rockets?!?! Who the hell's gonna shoot at us with rockets?!
I get more and more amazed and terrified by this city each day
-Ferris
| >>85825
Oh you poor sweet summer child. You're going to learn that GC is a beautiful place and an equally dangerous and terrifying one besides...
- Aethia
| - vereks
| I can provide firepower to ground teams, and I can chip in a GMG for the makeshift tank, and general logistics help. But, I won't be able to be on the ground myself.
-AnoMeat
| >>86551 That'll be fine. Any kind of help is good help as far as I'm concerned. Thank you very much, AnoMeat.
-Aethia
| Any reports of the opposition's firepower potential? I'm not exactly keen to send lethal weapons against unarmed or underwhelming rioters, because after this blows over, I'll still need customers.
| -AnoMeat
| Why exactly would they want to shoot at a rescue and relief operation
| >>86913 >>86927
Ideally there won't be any need to use the security provided. I'm just preparing for when the inevitable show that the world isn't always ideal occurs.
Let us all remember that excessive force is unnecessary and that we only require nonlethal force to deal with rioters whom may seek to sabotage our efforts.
-Aethia
| Preparations are going well, I'll soon be setting up a temporary communication network for our purposes. On the off chance rioters might be watching this thread I'd like to decrease the risk of problems arising in the future.
-Aethia
| Alright. I'll set plans for non lethal ammunition at the 3d print factory. Please report your ammunition requirements after the encrypted net is set.
-AnoMeat
| Aethia, any ETA on the encrypted net being set up? I'm getting death threats. It seems the rioters are watching.
| -AnoMeat
| >>87065 Tomorrow at the latest I'll be creating this encrypted net. Please stay safe until then. I'd also ask that any rioters watching to please consider the fact that we aren't out to hurt anyone and are equally willing to provide treatment for you without danger of being put away. Don't let your fear and hatred dissolve your reason. You're not sending a message, you're merely hurting people and giving people a reason to hate you.
-Aethia.
| >>87065 >>87003 >>85825 >>83299 >>83303
I have created the encrypted channel. I've made sure to have an identification filter on to make sure no rioters will be able to enter the channel. Be sure to follow the instructions very closely. You have a two time shot to correctly match your identity profile... [ https://discord.gg/UNftZt4 ]
-Aethia.
| I’ll patch in to it later. Having issues with an unhappy customer.
-AnoMeat
| Just making sure everyone that's interested is patched in.
- Aethia
| I can help. Any way I can. I'm more of a tech junkie, but I can do whatever is needed. I've got fire power, I've got White Knight data, anything. I can help keep the channel air tight too. I kept some creepy White Knight shit under locks for years. Security is my shtick.
