Japan is known to be one of the regions of the planet that experiences a very high number of earthquakes, ranging from small ones to large, destructive ones, all over the region on a regular basis. Despite City Eight being one of the most technologically advanced urban centers on the globe, the Universal Union has failed to take the necessary precautions to combat the effects of such seismic activity and is now paying the ultimate price of their inaction.
***
As a result of a large earthquake, several parts of the infrastructure of both the city and nearby union facilities were greatly impacted, some becoming impaired and some failing completely. One of those that completely failed were the large restrictors around the perimeter of the city, which were responsible for keeping unwanted, dangerous pests outside of city bounds. It does not take much for one to guess what ensued afterward.
***
The Combine, in an effort to regain control of the city and restore the socio-stability, conducted an immediate temporary relocation of the entire populace to a nearby relocation center, Terminal 6, until the city returned to a safe and habitable state.

This event, while it will mostly revolve around passive roleplay, will serve as an initial ‘ignition’ to (one of) the server’s storylines. Your actions on this event and any sub-events within it will shape the future of the event factions and any future follow-up stories and/or events regarding them.
EVENT FACTIONS

The Transitional Authority is the locally established Civil Protection regiment in Terminal 6. Ranging from officers that willingly assigned themselves to this location and functionaries that were failing in their duties in ordinary urban centers and were re-assigned here as a form of punishment, these units are the peacekeepers of the region. As a result of the minimal overwatch surveillance in the area, many units have developed questionable tactics when it comes to dealing with crime.

The minimal overwatch surveillance in Terminal 6 has led to the creation of many Anti-Union organizations in the area, the most prominent of them all being the House of Kusari - a local group mainly composed of Japanese individuals that have consolidated themselves outward from urban centers. It is a small, secretive organization performing sabotage actions all over Honshu, trained in guerilla warfare and sabotage tactics while being bound to a strict code of conduct.

What used to be an insurance company, the NICo has, over time, turned into a mafia-like organization that has devoted itself to gaining as much money and influence in Terminal 6 as possible, by any means necessary. These loan sharks are known for making deals and bribing the Transitional Authority to do their bidding and pull strings around in the Commerce Committee in their favor.

The Commerce Committee is the collection of stores and businesses around the area, composed of a few hard-working citizens who are in ownership of stalls, restaurants, and other locations of interest around Terminal 6 that provide services to other citizens in one way or another.

EVENT INFORMATION / Q&A
Where will the event take place?
The event will take place on the main 32-slot server, on the map Terminal 6.
When will the event start?
We require a certain amount of event characters to be established before we can calculate the exact date and time that the event will take place. When we accumulate the numbers we are looking for and we establish an approximation of the event date, it will be announced on this thread, the steam group and on the discord server. That could range from a few weeks, to a month or even more, depending on how much interest the community shows.
How long will the event last for?
The event will last for approximately one week, depending on the feedback we receive from the players. If people like it and are enjoying it, we may extend it a bit - if not, we may shorten it.
Is this a map-change event?
No, it is not. We are returning to our City Eight edit upon completion of this event.
What factions are involved in the event?
This is an all-faction event. That means every faction may participate, from citizens to Civil Protection, to Civil Workers’ Union, The Resistance, and more, except for the Dispatch/Overwatch faction.
What characters can I bring to the event?
Every character may be used on the event, with no restrictions, unless otherwise specified by an Event Manager, an Administrator or above, or the Internal Affairs/Management Team.
What will happen to the characters in the event factions after the event ends?
Depending on the character’s actions and what faction they were in, among other factors, they may be allowed to be kept and used after the event is over and we return to City Eight.
What are the Permanent Kill rules and guidelines for the duration of the event?
While the event will be, for the most part, a passive-roleplay event, the standard Permanent Kill rules will apply, which can be viewed here.
