melodiesooc | Event: Magitek Research Facility

On the morning of the 22nd, characters will receive a letter from Artemicion. Written by an obviously very distressed Moogle, the letter will explain that while both he and Jessie were working inside the Magitek Research Facility, "weird people" entered the building without permission. Jessie couldn't leave the facility, so because of his size and agility, she sent Artemicion to call the guards, but alas! Guards had already been knocked out by the mysterious infiltrators. Obviously the next logical step was to leave the facility and call Biggs and Wedge to the rescue-- Which he did, but they disappeared as well after they entered the facility...

The next logical step? To call the Heroes of Light so they can save the day, of course! After all, if something was to happen to either Wedge or Jessie, the Heroes would lose their best hope to ever find a way back home.

There is a sign-up form to fill below if you want to participate in the event-- There are no deadlines to sign-up, but it is necessary for organization purpose. A log will be posted in the next few days for characters to explore the Facility. Should you have any questions regarding this event, please feel free to post them in the thread below. You may also use this post for plotting, should you have need of it.

Upon arriving in the sixth district, before the facility, the Heroes of Light will find Artemicion waiting for them. The purple Moogle will answer whatever questions they have. From this point on, characters are free to venture inside or stay outside to cheer on those brave enough to go in. However...

Teleportation
Shortly after their arrival, the security system will (finally) activate. What does it mean? It means a short-range teleportation system will activate then, proceeding to teleport all intruders to different location within the facility. This system is meant to confuse intruders, leaving them without any means to know where they are while security units hunt them. Unfortunately, the Heroes of Light are considered to be intruders as well. And because the security system isn't quite perfected yet, characters outside of the facility may be taken in as well...

Should a character come in the vicinity of the facility just out of curiosity, or with nothing more than then intent to stay outside and cheer on characters deciding to go inside, they will be transported inside of the facility along with other characters. All characters will appear in different sections of the facility, but they will remain in small groups of 2-6 characters.

Exploration
Aside from activating the teleportation beam, the security system will also unleash security units and seal off the facility. If the characters desire to leave, they will have no other choice than to find Jessie and have her deactivate the security system. And for her to accept doing that, they will have to take out the intruders.

This section will consist of going through the facility-- The Heroes of Light will be able to explore the building in their search for Jessie and a way out. The facility contains many closed chests and artifacts, noticeably machines that were once used by the Ancients. A lot of them do not work, but they may work if they come in contact with the Heroes' crystals...

And if they go far enough, they may be able to find the mysterious intruders and fight them in a Boss Battle.

Sign-Up
Please copy and fill the form below if you want to participate in the event. We will reply with what team your character is assigned to before the start of the event:

The security system does not consist of a transporter system only-- It also activates a numbers of Security Units, tasked with eliminating any intruders they may encounter. The only real issue is that while they are programmed to eliminate all intruders... That does includes the Heroes of Light, at least until they can reach Jessie and ask her if she could have the courtesy to put them on the "do not kill" list. They are all very ancient and unfinished though, so the Heroes of Light shouldn't have any difficulties fighting them.

MECH GUARD
✶ ✶ ✶
Location: Magitek Research Facility

A security unit activated by Jessie in the Magitek Research Facility. It is not very dangerous, as it is quite weak and ancient. A character with the Steal skill may disassemble the machine within an instant without any difficulties. Otherwise, physical attacks may work, but Thunder spells are by far the most effective way to take this machine out.

MECH GUNNER
✶ ✶ ✶ ✶ ✶ ✶ ✶
Location: Magitek Research Facility

A security unit activated by Jessie in the Magitek Research Facility. It is more dangerous than its smaller counterpart, and cannot be disassembled with the Steal skill. Physical attacks do work, but like with the smaller model, Thunder spells are the best way to go with this security unit. It attacks with ancient gun models integrated within its armor.
