[A big, dark eyeball stares at you before pulling back, Colonel the hen pecking about the edge of the tablet before her brown feathers brush against it as she turns to go poke around the rest of the counter.]

Pictographs work, right? Do Agrii understand when things get crossed out? -things you never thought about until you're trying to write rules and remember these guys don't have a written language.

[Cayde is seated at the end of the bar, pencil in hand as he puts some lines on the sheet before him. He drums his fingers, scowling a bit.]

"No fire in the bar" - is that even a regular rule? Huh. Or was it just no smoking?

Hmm....should I add something about the fish tank? ...eh.

[He shrugs and resumes tapping the pencil against his chin.]

Hey all. It's been a time, hasn't it? As we know from previous posts, Agra-10 has been the host of two of our very own Horror Movie boys. They've had a lot of fun running around sowing chaos, distrust, and violence.

And finally a team has come up with a plan to get the final proof they need once and for all. Maybe even a confession. So let's talk out the general plan built, and what we want to play and get out of this. After all, it's easier to build a fun time with this many people involved with some planning before.

( So let's talk )

Time for a Vote! We've got some planet ideas below for our first stop. We're going to be doing this by ranked choice voting. Let us know in the comment thread below what your preference is using the provided form! Please see Venidelosia's brief descriptions of potential planets to visit as your first investigative stop

A Watery Adventure

Knowing that the Agrii are evolved in some highly aquatic environment, Venidelosia puts forth a relatively nearby star system she is aware of that her records indicate to be a planet with a high percentage of surface oceans. Her records on the planet are damaged, but they indicate that the Agrii's ancestors may have been collected relatively near this system. She is aware of there being floating cities, which may be useful for gathering information.

What she cannot tell you but is relevant for your OOC decision making is that here there be pirates! Join us on a swashbuckling adventure with this watery planet!

An Abandoned Planet

Venidelosia suggests this planet that is further out and in a different direction due to the fact that it is recorded as being a research facility that she was previously assigned to when she was not yet aware. She has no records of what the planet itself is like, or if the planet is suitable to landing on. What she knows is that there are suggestions in her files that there may be a repository of information from her original builders at the location. What could that mean? It's up to you to investigate!

What she cannot tell you but is relevant for your OOC decision making is that this is a dead and haunted world. If you'd like your spookiness to come early this year join us in investigating what haunts an old research base.

A Warring Landscape

One other vein of investigation that Venidelosia suggests as a path forward is investigating what she has been told of the Warrens area. The metal there is far too durable for her to understand, but she thinks she might have a lead on the source of it. Perhaps that will help uncover more secrets? This is the furthest of the journeys and she knows little of what the He Rows will find here, other than what might be the source of a useful resource in a metal so durable it has a hard time being cut by aught but itself. Will you set forth to try and gather some yourself? And just what leads to it being so strong?

What she cannot tell you but is relevant for your OOC decision making is that the surface of this planet is at war: a Mecha war. Venture down to the surface, discover the source of the metal, and join up with one companion in a mind and memory sharing experience as you learn secrets about each other and possibly about Agra-10 that might never imagined. All while possibly co-piloting your own Mech!

Please vote by April 28th, 2025. We want to make sure have lots of time to build up lots of extra details and fun for you!

Alright players! We're officially opening the call for places you might enjoy visiting in space. What sort of planet ideas might you have? Anything from very general ideas (a planet where they can only visit the dark side) to more specific (a habitable planet with a great city built over a glittering late), to even more detailed. Please let us know!

We take any amount of suggestion you might have to throw at us. More details or even suggestions of what sorts of adventures you want to go on are all welcome. Help us make the best adventures, now and in the future, that we can!

As players may have noticed an momentous day has finally been reached in The Revival Project. For the first time in the tenure of the game, and for a long time before it, Agrii have set their feet upon the surface of Agra-10. He Rows will of course be invited to the arrival ceremony, and now have a chance to interact with a lot of different NPC characters, as well as help them settle in. But there's more going on than that, because very soon He Rows will be taking their own steps of adventure, and they'll want to prepare for that to. So let's talk about this month's event!

New Horizons FAQ

You know where we start. Event Dates?

The Agrii will be arriving the evening of April 9th, while Venidelosia’s message will arrive early in the day on April 10th. According to her message, He Rows returning to their Ships for departure will be May 1st and news about transit will be posted after that.

What about the ‘voting for destination’ thing? What are the choices?

That’s actually going to depend pretty heavily on you, the players. In the next few days another OOC post is going to go up serving as our first ‘pitch us planets’ post. In it we’re going to encourage you to share your general ideas of places you would like to see. Please don’t give us your characters’ canon planets, those aren’t on the table. Things closely adjacent, or planets of canons not represented in our game that also aren’t Earth, could be pitched. But we’re also ready to welcome some of the most off the wall things you can think of. Trust the mods to find ways to fold these into the way we’re going to keep you entertained. We just can only create so many different settings at a time.

If we find there are three good pitches we can work with, we’ll write up small summaries and leave them to players to vote on anonymously. If we are lucky enough to receive more than just three good pitches, we’ll hold some in reserve for further building and future use. If there are less than three we’ll handwave the winner being either a player suggested one where the player is happy to help us build and perhaps even shape some of your adventure, or to a mod one that we will prepare for you. So the destinations will be as up to player choice as we can manage.

What can we do this month?

Well, first thing first, that whole arrival post was made in the IC community for a reason. You may see that we’ve got comments in there for a few different NPC groups. He Rows will be able to talk to the Plantkin delegation, Mu Ly, Venidelosia, the Twins, random colonist NPCs and… gasp Ny Ak too! Use those comments to start up a situation and we’ll swoop in to make sure you get some fun interacting with them. Many of these characters are moving in (not Ny Ak) so they’ll have questions, need help, and be ready to start learning! Consider this your most personal connection with any Agrii yet most likely, because you’re helping them start to build a world.

In addition you can take Venidelosia up on her request for specific consultations. She is going to need some people to help her finalize her submissions to your journey. You don’t want the portal systems blowing up or to have the copied version of her that will be going on your ships undermining you with glitches, right? So for people with different datapoints, there’s still a lot of important stuff to do, like handling food, creating production facilities, preparing for medical needs, and maybe even making and stowing away weapons, food, clothes, and other resources. You don’t know what you’re going to need in space, right? And who knows if you’ll even find people to trade with. Actually, things to trade might be good too…

Beyond that players might wish to try and convince some NPCs to join them on their quest. Wouldn’t it be interesting to try? At the moment He Rows will only have Venidelosia herself on the journey with them. Whether others join them or not is entirely up to characters wooing Plantkin or Agrii to their cause. The only exceptions guaranteed not to go are the faction leaders, the Blue Twins, and the Wanderer. Anyone else, old or new NPC, is possibly up for adventure if you pitch it right. We will, though, require attempts to convince NPCs to be made in threads.

Are we really just leaving Agra-10 behind?

For a while. Players should expect a return to Agra-10 in June or July, depending on how well or poorly adventures go. There will be some time on the planet before the next round of space exploration. This will be our new format going forward: space time, return to the planet for some event, an off month for planet and shipside player plots, and then returning to space. How fast or slow that ends up being will vary.

My character was one of those not interested in leaving the Agrii here alone. What about them?

Sorry, but sometimes you have to let the chicks leave the nest, and it seems like they’ve come to a good agreement with the Plantkin for now. Consider this month a good way to start getting the Agrii used to what their lives are going to be like here, get to know them some and guide them, and then give them a chance to make their own mistakes. Have faith in them.

When we leave is the Agrii ship going with us?

Nope. The Agrii as a whole mostly want to stay here. They are tired of wandering when home might be so close, even if they don’t all know it’s not theirs. The Agrii ship will thus be staying for a few reasons. One: to provide shelter should storms come. Two: to provide supplies if the surface Agrii blow it. Three: to allow more Agrii to go down to the surface if they find things are going well. In fact, once the He Rows leave the hangar will be quite clear for the Agrii to use the old ships in their own Hangar Bay to shuttle to and from the planet at need.

Um, what was up with how Ny Ak spoke?

Now that might be a question worth asking him, wouldn’t it? c3)

Hey, I wanted to ask a specific question about all of this.

Awesome! We want to hear it! Please direct all of your questions to the appropriate comment below. Also, you want to talk to an NPC not noted specifically on the event post, please let us know there too. You can also feel free to use this post for plotting. Whatever works best for you.

Finally, and this is important. Please just give a round of applause to our new support staff. Some members of our wonderful community have stepped up to help the mods through a hard time and we really appreciate them. Without their time and efforts this event may not have been presented to you as smoothly as we might have wanted. This month was a little trial by fire for us all.

New Horizons In Our Future

When the first Agrii in hundreds of years arrive in the city of Temba, they manage it with far more grace than is often allowed to their He Rows. The first settlement group arrives not by appearing above the fountain and splashing down into it in broad daylight. Instead the shuttles descend from the night sky, shining like fairy lights on a string as they sail softly and silently down into the hangar building one after another. Awaiting them are not only whatever He Rows might deem the arrival important to see but also the Wanderer, the twisted twigs of its body festooned with a variety of faintly glowing Funfronds and one very plump looking Barry perched upon its head. They stand with reverence and attention, silent even in their own forms of speech as for the first time in hundreds of years their peoples occupy the same space.

The shuttle doors open, one after another, with little more than a soft sigh. Down the ramp of the first ship steps Mu Ly standing tall and proud. Flanking him to either side are a pair of nearly identical looking Agrii youths, one seeming to present male and the other female, each wearing a band of blue around their opposite upper arms. Finally, trailing them more nervously (and already agreed by all to not be staying on this ‘mission of fools’) comes the pair of Ga Re and Ny Ak. In many ways all Agrii serve to be represented by this group as they approach the delegation of He Rows and Plantkin.

They come to a stop before the gathered greeters and Mu Ly takes the position of prominence, like he was the leader. Only for, a moment later, the two Blues to step past him, standing halfway between Mu Ly and the gathering, a frame of young Blues to the meeting. It makes sense a moment later when Mu Ly opens his mouth and starts to speak in the native Agrii tongue.

Apparently this meeting was important enough to be initially done in his own language, where his mastery was better. Thankfully the twins are there, immediately translating. They switch smoothly between one speaking and the next, each taking over a sentence to put into the ‘He Row Tongue’ with a confidence that almost rivals Te Mi’s fluency.
