conversations.value: Test game set in the Blue Planet universe. Megacorporations (known as Incorps), natives and the GEO (think upgraded UN) vie for power under alien skies and beneath pristine but mysterious seas. You're troubleshooters, people who fix problems for pay. The GEO and the Incorps would prefer terms like "career criminal" or "pirate" but what do those words mean in an untamed world like this?
  
  Additional Notes: My goal is for each us to type no more than 250 words a day. Mostly because I'm lazy but also because I think sprawling posts tend to make it harder for people to remain active on forum games. First, because it's a fuckton of reading and second because then people feel obligated to respond to posts with more sprawling posts.

conversations.value: Elyza Vitkovskaya: Elyza is an immigrant, like most new colonists. Her cybernetic arm is a reminder that the trip in suspended animation and through a wormhole, is not without risks. She's a competent boatswain and her and her boat, The Guppy, are well regarded for their reliability. Particularly for those who like a pilot who doesn't ask a lot of questions. She's also a well respected fishmonger which is probably what attracted her to Trader Vik's attention.

conversations.from: human
conversations.value: Datapad: A simple, cheap standard datapad encased in bioplastic to protect against Poseidon's harsh natural environments. The bulk of the datapad is encrypted, fairly standard for a personal pad. But the media library and personal communication mesh are encrypted and open. <ASK FOR MORE DETAILS IF DESIRED. DECRYPTING WILL REVEAL FURTHER ASSET CARDS>
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: Security Guard's Commlink: The commlink is moderately encrypted and the case indicates it was issued by "Kervog Security" a small security organization local to the area. Judging from the blinking lights, it is still receiving messages although they're not readable until the phone is hacked (Which will provide a new stack of asset cards.)

conversations.value: Improvised Active Camo Cape: A length of active camo tarp turned into a crude but serviceable cape. 
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: Trader Vik's "Palace": Trader Vik has never been accused of being the classiest cetacean to fin his way across the face of Poseidon. He holds court in a 3rd generation recycled pontoon boat  painted in garish colors and strung both above and below water with a constellation of multicolored lights. It's like the tiniest, trashiest, floating nightclub. Which, might be part of the plan honestly.
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: The Wreck: It looked pretty bad from the shore but up close... It's still pretty bad. The turbines are shot and a week in the surf hasn't been kind to everything else. Fast fungus in the wiring is going to be a bitch to get out. Still, the hull is mostly intact and if you could get it off the rocks you might even be able to salvage it.

conversations.value: The Beach: Day: A fine stretch of Poseidon beach, all soft white sand, swaying trees and warm water. You'd expect to hear seagulls except there aren't any on this alien world. The downed jumpjet is visible just offshore.

conversations.value: The Dread Security Guard Robert: Your run of the mill security guard and a native from the looks of it. Shotgun slung loosely across his back, looking uncomfortable in his obviously Earth patterned black uniform. He doesn't wear anything that identifies him as belonging to any of the major Incorps or security interests in the area so it's likely he's just a local trying to make a few bucks on the side.

A way of exploring the rise of a neo-imperial state in the chaos of Earth. Calls himself Henry Ford but speaks with a thick and obvious Japanese accent. 
  Dreams of using Boiling Point to create a totally homegrown industrial base for the natives.
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: Trader Vik: Trader Vik is an uplifted dolphin but his favored method of interacting with people is his truly unnerving humanoid drone avatar. The drone is nearly three meters tall and drops from the ceiling by it's control wires when in use. Vik is proud of how little money has he's spent on this cobbled together monstrosity and that's evident in the freakishly uncoordinated fashion it moves. The hands are extremely move with unnatural smoothness but the rest moves like it's on the verge of jerking itself apart.

conversations.value: The Island: Black box in hand, it's time to head home.
  [Meta: This scene includes the forest and the beach where The Guppy is moored]
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: The Guppy: The guppy is a 30' long proa-style boat of native design and construction. Elyza has fitted it with a some hydrogen fuel cell trawling motor but most of its utility stems directly from its respectable speed, nimbleness and ease of repair. She's obviously proud of her boat as it is well cared for and brightly painted. This might seem like a disadvantage for questionably legal work but it really isn't since proa are so common they really start to blend together.
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: Elyza Vitkovskaya: Elyza is a first generation colonist. Her cybernetic arm is a reminder that the trip in suspended animation and through a wormhole, is not without risks. She's a competent boatswain and her and her boat, The Guppy, are well regarded for their reliability. Particularly for those who like a pilot who doesn't ask a lot of questions. She's also a well respected fishmonger which is probably what attracted her to Trader Vik's attention.

conversations.value: Moving through the jungle: Getting through the jungle stealthily and/or quickly is not a simple task.
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: Mystery Squad: Whoever owns that VTOL likely dropped between 5-10 soldiers into the jungle near you. Beyond that you have no idea why they're here, how heavily armed they are or if they're even a threat to you.
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: The Mechanic: You make it work, whatever it is, whatever it takes.
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: Mystery Squad : Whoever owns that VTOL  dropped 5 heavily armed soldiers into the jungle near you. Their exact location is not known but judging from the gunfire, they're close enough that they could become an issue as you escape.
  
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: GTFO: The Guppy is still concealed, not on fire and Elyza has recovered enough to make it go. While the ride home in the storm isn't going to be much fun, at least there's plenty of wind to put some distance between you and this island. 
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: Hack the Guard's Commlink: While the security features in this commlink aren't exactly military grade, it's going to take a bit more work than turning it off and turning it back on again.
