We officially begin!

 

Some initial information about the gameplay:

  • have fun, that's the most important goal
  • if any questions came up, ask here, we'll figure it out
  • please do all rolls here

 

And some initial information with the adventure in mind:

 

The player characters are all freelance operatives for Dreadnaught, about which you know the following:

Dreadnaught

Dreadnaught Security, Inc.: Dreadnaught is a private police company that offers a 24/7 on-call team of ascendant security
operatives to high value clients across the United States. Dreadnaught has received a $10M contract from Capital City’s
government to protect its cruise ship terminal as well as to supplement the municipal police department’s SWAT team. At
present there are 12 operatives in the city. Dreadnaught has been openly lobbying the Mayor to privatize the entire police,
so it has assigned some of its best ascendants to Capital City. It’s also begun to work with “freelance” heroes across the city,
deputizing them as needed to deal with crises that come up.

You also know and use ARRCNet and it's various alert types:

ARRCNet

At the request of Dreadnaught, Capital City has created a dedicated communications network for ascendants legally empowered
to act in the role of a private police force within the metropolitan area. Called the Ascendant Rapid Response Communications
Network (ARRCNet™), the private channel runs on an encrypted smartphone app separate from the police radio network. The
ARRCNet is intended to help route ascendants to where they are most needed, and is sparingly used. It has five color-coded levels
of emergency:

Green: Green alerts are most commonly used for natural and environmental hazards like flooding, gas leaks, or large fires, but
they can also be used when dealing with ascendants who, though hostile, have yet to take any offensive actions.

Yellow: Yellow alerts are used when there are hostile ascendants taking aggressive actions against the city, but which have
been contained – so far – by the police or other authorities.

Red: Red alerts are used when there are hostile ascendants taking aggressive actions against the city, and the police are
unable to contain them.

Blue: Blue alerts for when an area needs to be evacuated of all civilians, but when the ascendants are not expected to help
further.

Black: The newly-instituted black alert is for a threat on the scale of a major, sustained attack by terrorists from Exodus and
their ilk. Created after the Battle of Washington, it has never been used.

Every member of Dreadnaught operating in Capital City has access to the ARRCNet, as do the various freelancers it deputizes from
time to time. In addition, a number of members of the Unseen Court have managed to install the app, as have some unaffiliated
vigilantes and crimefighters prowling the streets. Ascendants describe ARRCNet as “a cross between the BatSignal and… well, Signal".

Have fun, everyone!

I've pinged @Ratwalk in a private message, but if he doesn't post by Wednesday, we should decide if you want the characters to be propelled to the next scene and see if he can join there, or to decide the fate or our game as I don't think we can move along with two players, unfortunately. I'm open to ideas.
