⌞THE AGOGE⌝

Custom Text

AGOGE is a panfandom RP-game themed around conflict and war, historical, fantasy and scifi with a heavy emphasis on action, combat and choices around the morality of war.

By now, you may have noticed some among your number missing. I can assure you they are being well taken care of with what supplies we have in this time of war.

Our struggle here is drawing to a close. I presume both sides would like to avoid further loss of life. The Empire-- the Regency, as you call us-- certainly would. I myself grow weary of slaughter, especially this senseless murder of my soldiers.

This can be ended. I do not have the credentials necessary to surrender. You do. Call off this useless struggle. Your people will be returned to you.

Of course, if you have questions, I beg you to ask them while we have the time. This transference into your network will not last for long.

[ooc Discuss surrender here! Threadjacking welcome.]

I understand some of you are reluctant to change your names or use a different moniker when we make the drop in 1916's Gallipoli. If you're not from a standardized Earth, I suggest you reconsider. If you need assistance, I'll assign you one myself. You don't have to consider them names but codenames to be discarded after we return to BASE. An example of this: Rider is now Kale. I told him I would notify you all of this alteration. Think wisely about the impact small things could have on a timeline. They add up and any amount of skepticism brought about by our foolishness is too much. Thanks.

Tell me about your gods. If you don't have that kind of faith, then tell me what else you believe in. There must be something. And if not that, tell me what you think of when you know a battle is coming.

byhand

For the curious, we have finally found the source of the coolant shortages.

You may have noticed a certain oddity with your dreams as of late, and a greater and greater difficulty in waking from them. I can confirm that you have regrettably-- and entirely accidentally-- stumbled into the dreams of your neighbors and comrades. To those whose privacy has been invaded: we ask for your understanding and kindness. This was the fault of no member of COST.

A trans-dimensional creature known as the Oneiroi, the Telpharan, or more commonly, shapers, have invaded our ship. Colonies of the creature are known to invade ships and BASE models, consuming coolant while distracting their enemies with dreams and visions. These creatures currently live in our walls.

[Attached is an image of a rather exasperated Commander Grothia, flanked by several DACTYL droids, standing before a hole ripped in the wall of BASE's many hallways. She holds a shaper up to the camera, while several DACTYL droids chase more of the creatures escaping out of the walls behind her.]

I have been studying the creatures, and reading up on what histories and zoological studies have been written about them. Debate rages over their sentience-- some believe them to be pests. Others think them intelligent, sentient, sapient creatures who, while incapable of spoken language, communicate nonetheless through the language of dreaming. It is believed by some that the choices they make, of whose dreams to invade, whose to link, and how those connections are made, are an attempt to welcome other sentient creatures into their colonies, to make connections and be understood.

Debate has also continued amongst your command on how to best handle these creatures. Because their intelligence and self awareness is currently unknown, debated even now in scientific communities across the multiverse, we are ourselves unsure how to best deal with this problem. We leave it up to you.

In two days time, I shall put up a poll on the BCE network, and I encourage all to vote in favor of how these creatures should be dealt with: eradication, or (as my comrade has termed it) catch-and-release. Both posit their own risks: the possibility of a mass slaughter of sentient lifeforms, or the possibility of a resurgence of this infection. For myself, I shall not argue with the results, or argue either side. It is your choice to make, my poor fellow-soldiers.

For now: I ask you to consider the matter carefully. You may, of course, ask me any questions you like. I encourage you to debate this matter as thuroughly as you are able.

And in two days' time, I urge you: vote.

[ooc Yep, let's talk about the shaper infection. Characters can ICly debate here (threadjacking encouraged!); there will be an IC vote on the 19th, with results on the 21st. Ask any OOC questions you might have over here.]

excelsus

I may be completely alone in this, but is anyone else disturbed by the alarming dearth of rebel archivests?

Fortunately it seems that the number of books outnumber the actual people who wish to burn them which is rather fortunate because some of these things I can actually read. The Malleus Maleficarum is actually quite a facinating read if you're interested in the true barbarism of this world.

Malleus refers to a hammer and Maleficarum is the plural of Maleficar which refers to one who is wicked or depraved. In this sense it seems to loosely translate as Hammer of Witches...I laughed admittedly.

I'm certain it would be Hammer of Mages where I come from, but that is completely apart from the point.

Apparently these people believed that magic was some sort of delusion of the mind precipitated by demonic seduction through visions and dreams. They blamed the most rudimentary of problems on people, captured them, tortured them into fraudulent admissions, and then killed them.

The magic and spells they discuss are not even real magic, not as I know it anyway...unless one considers mathematics, philosophy, and general enlightenment magical.

I suppose I would define magic as the ability to expend mana...or putting it more simply, the ability to burn my accuser's face off by willing primal fire into being.

And here I thought the Southern Circles were bestial. Flaying someone alive for anomalous intelligengence, very dyed-in-the-wool dedication to the extermination of magic...and that there could be a book devoted to the finding and killing these so-called magic users.

It's certainly telling, not completely unfamiliar either. I'm certain the Southern Chantry has their own step-by-step process for teasing out mages and spiriting them away to the Circles.

courtintrigue

For those of you willing to share information, I have a few questions.

Are any of you from this world? Does what we do here mean something to you?

Has anyone been with this cause long enough to see worlds other than this one?

I am led to believe there are those who recall agreeing to this. If you did, what proof compelled you?

handtowels

If I've seen it, then all of you have seen our enemy's artillery. We're outgunned if we do nothing.

I have a plan. It's not much of one, and it's risky, but if we take out some of their cannons then it will improve our chances of victory. With all this rain they should be easy for me to freeze, and once frozen, they'll be easy to shatter. We can ruin any gunpowder they keep close by too.

The problem is that as soon as one cannon is destroyed, our enemy will know to defend the rest that much better. From that point on it's only a matter of time until it becomes an impossible task. I want to take out as many as we can before then.

So I'm looking for some cannon killers.

My location is set to public. If you're willing to help, come and join me.

byfist

Some of you have made it. Some of you didn't. Some of you seem to be transferred without your memories intact again, and I am not sure I know hide nor hair of you. I cannot assist with that at present, but I note your frustrations. I thought we would have time to transfer to base, but it wasn't being... cooperative at this time, and new orders came through that we were needed.

I believe I promised some answers, now is the time. Official time lines state that we aren't due to meet up with the forces of the time period for another few hours, so if you have any pressing concerns whilst you prepare: now is the time to air them.

As for myself, I am Commander Grothia of the Colonies in Opposition, or COST by other names, operating to curb the reign Auspicious Regency of Ever Lasting Peace.

And again: don't go showing your BCE off to every local villager. I sent Da'ud back with another crew, he should be safe and sound with his family, now, for those of you that thought that killing wasn't a viable option.

Welcome to France, soldiers.
