So that's the ad image I'll be using for the next few weeks until I actually start running this Retribution plot, though there will be some build-up in game as far as news posts, etc. Basically, Retribution is the return of the Bugs. Turns out that no one on earth actually had any kind of communication with them- Operation Red Horizon was purely reactionary, a response to what we assumed was a hostile attack of the space station. It's rather short-sighted to imagine that the single bug ship was the only one in the entire universe and that after they found out what we did to their people that they wouldn't want revenge. So yes, more details will unfold in game closer to the event. The event in question will involve all sorts of things you can get characters involved in, including- but not limited to- earthquakes, floods, volcanoes, tornadoes, lots of things that end with "s", radars screwing up, world leaders being abducted, fighting amongst countries, among other things. The way it'll be formatted is that during those two weeks every few days there will be a mod post of some disastrous event in which any character is welcome to participate. Characters may also run their own plots involved with Retribution within this period if they want to try to find out what's going on, or stage your own disasters to deal with, etc. This will all culminate on the 31st of May with (surprise, surprise) a huge attack on NYC by the Bugs. Because clearly, NYC is the place to be no matter where in the universe you're from. So! That's that. Here, have another picture:
