So I thought I'd be cool and give a little in to the common pot seeing as how you guys have been all helpful and accommodating and whatnot. Have some movie references.
Job Title: In Space No One Can Hear You Power Up
Player Requirements: Level 4 Fighter, PTO, Kold Demon or Independent, must be space resistant.
Job Requirements: 400 words, 25 posts
Job Location: Free Space
Story: A certain corporation approached you recently with a rather lucrative offer. Apparently they had purchased the rights to a system quite close to you and had intended to install a structure around its star to capture and harness its energy output, you believe you’ve heard the theory of such a thing discussed under the name of a Dyson sphere. What no one told them was that the system in question is actually inhabited and as you might well imagine the inhabitants aren’t overly keen on the idea of someone turning off the lights on them. With the local species’ resisting and the board unable to find another buyer the company faces severe losses. That is… unless someone can remove the –ahem- issue.
Mission Goal: Wipe out the local forces protecting the star.
Enemies:
Job Title: What Has Science Done!? - Genisys
Player Requirements: One Level 3 Fighter, sunglasses and biker leathers optional.
Job Requirements: 300 words, 20 posts
Job Location: Earth, West City
Story: Earth has always struggled to defend itself against intergalactic threats, largely lacking the apparatus to train powerful fighters and populated as it is by species’ which are generally weaker than those of the wider galactic community. What it DOES have on its side is technology and a singular penchant for innovation, that and a lot of unused bodies. A few months ago you heard about a special program called the Genesis Initiative which would take willing volunteers, the clinically brain dead and condemned criminals and rebuild them, make them stronger, faster, better, putting them under the control of an advanced AI whose sole mission was to protect the Earth and its people at all costs. Because that couldn’t possibly go wrong. Admittedly when the fruits of the project were unveiled you weren’t entirely unimpressed, but when they started firing in to the crowd… eh, not so much. Apparently the advanced Cloud AI was thinking ahead and had decided that the biggest threat to Earthlings were Earthlings themselves. Go figure. Not being particularly keen on subjugation or conversion you power up and enter the fray.
Mission Goal: Defeat the Cloud Specimens and Destroy the Main Server
Enemies:
Job Title: What Has Science Done!? – Rise of the Machines
Player Requirements: One Level 3 Fighter who has NOT completed “Genisys”
Job Requirements: 300 words, 20 posts
Job Location: Earth, East City
Story: So you remember how a couple of weeks ago West City was saved from an AI rebellion? Apparently the aptly named Cloud had the presence of CPU to upload itself to the internet and has now infected a fleet of construction robots (why do construction robots even need wifi?) and broken in to a lab in East City which the general hubbub holds was working on some kind of medical nanotechnology. Oh goodie.
Mission Goal: Defeat the Cloud Nodes
Enemies:
Job Title: What Has Science Done!? – Judgement Day
Player Requirements: One Level 3 Fighter who has NOT completed “Genisys” or “Rise of the Machines”
Job Requirements: 300 words, 20 posts
Job Location: Earth, North City
Story: So you know how there was that other thing that happened in East City, there were robots and Nanobots that wanted to take over the world but there was this brave, dashing fighter there to suppress them? Turns out that they weren’t quite as suppressed as everyone thought. Only by a factor of one, but that one was more than enough to detonate itself in the heart of North City, covering the entire downtown area in a cloud of Nanobots that started infecting and converting humans. Thankfully your higher than average ki seems to overload and destroy the bots if they try to infect you, but they seem to be cooking up something rather special this time.
Mission Goal: Destroy Cloud Nodes and Hold Off the Cloud Control Node
Enemies:
Job Title: What Has Science Done!? - Salvation
Player Requirements: AT LEAST 3 Fighters who have each completed one of the following: “Genisys, Rise of the Machines, Judgement Day” This quest follows on directly from “Judgement Day”
Job Requirements: 400 words, 25 posts
Job Location: Earth, North City
Story: It all comes down to this. With all of its drone Nodes destroyed and it confined to a single body for the moment Cloud is more vulnerable than it’s ever been. Granted, that body just spent the better part of five minutes knocking one of you all up and down North City, but with the three of you together you might just have a chance to finally clean this mess up proper.
Mission Goal: Defeat Cloud once and for all!

Mission Goal: Wipe out the local forces protecting the star.
Enemies:
- Alien Marines – Denizens of the system who use enviro-suits to be able to function and fight in space. They are generally very weak, requiring blasters in order to harness their ki for attacks but they have great numbers on their side.
- Alien Officers – Though they require the same enviro-suits to be able to function out in space, these elite warriors are able to manipulate their own ki without blasters. Though none are quite on your level they seem to be able to provide something of a workout and you’ve noticed about a half dozen or so milling about in the ranks.
- Alien Commander – Both a powerful combatant and experienced warrior, the Alien Commander can not only harness his ki free of technological aid but is also able to survive in the vacuum of space. Like any good CO he doesn’t jump in right away, preferring instead to lead from the rear and organize the battle accordingly. Despite this you sense a power which might rival even your own.

Mission Goal: Defeat the Cloud Specimens and Destroy the Main Server
Enemies:
- Cloud Specimens – Volunteers, donors and criminals mostly of Earthling or Zoanthrope origin, with the installation of mechanical parts their power has been drastically enhanced, of particular note are their scouters moulded to the left side of their faces and the blaster conversions fitted in place of their right arms. Their power is certainly nothing to sniff at but at first anyway they seem to be more bothered with rounding up Earthlings fro ‘processing.’ At least there aren’t that many of them, but you’d better break into the sub-levels and find that server with the control program fast.

Mission Goal: Defeat the Cloud Nodes
Enemies:
- Cloud Node – Constructo-Bot 5000 –The CB5K while one of the older serviceable models in circulation is generally dependable, having been voted Least Likely to Head an AI Insurrection three years running. Its main frame stands at around 8’0” though it can retract its limbs to stand at about 6’ should it need to enter more confined spaces. Its default configuration features two vice-like lifting forks capable of expanding, contracting and articulated in a full 360 degrees, these can be neatly folded away into the unit’s forearms to make room for a diamond toothed circular saw on the left and a high powered welding torch on the right. Why does a construction droid need these? Well if you have to ask you’d never understand.
- Cloud Node – Nano-Cyborg – Nanobots now under the control of the Genisys Initiative’s Cloud control program have converted their bodies into primitive but powerful Androids all enslaved to its will. They maintain their outward appearance with little exposed circuitry across their skin but for all that they look basically the same their power is not to be underestimated.

- Cloud Control Node – Amongst the victims of this latest conversion the Cloud program took the strongest single body and applied several special upgrades to it before downloading its core program to the unit. Now it uses the platform as its primary control node as well as a frontline combat unit. Though it does not look terribly different from the other Nodes its speed and power are both many times the regular rank and file and—wait… did it just absorb your ki blasts? Well this isn’t gonna be fun.
