Talk about a mess.

Since you're all probably wondering what the hell just happened, a huge EMP hit the entire city of New Amsterdam. It's not going to be widely reported until power and systems can come back online, but unlike some of you, the citizens of this city are not prepared for this. A lot of the neural implant interfacing is going to be down, too. The safehouse will still be accessible (I know what I'm doing), but some of you might not even be able to get into your apartments.

I got the message from this mysterious DAWN, too. Don't know what that's about, but if it really is an AI, then we could be in some serious trouble. They're supposed to be extinct, if you weren't in the know about that. I know some of you are still new to this.

One other big thing to note: Soon the heat's going to start to rise. The pyramid outside the city has also powered down, which means that the ozone layer is completely exposed. If that pyramid isn't put back into operation soon, this entire city is going to basically melt. Not fun, so if any of you are up the task, well, we'd all owe you one.

Okay, this is the last thing, for real: while any messages sent on the Morningstar network will be fine, the city-wide network is probably going to be a little spotty until this is fixed. That means any private messages you send to each other might not go to the right place. Try to keep any coordination on here, if you can. I'll do what I can to facilitate communication, but like I said: this is a mess.

Four buttons? I hate when it's too many and they're hard to press in time.

Anyway, I can bring an engineer. I'm used to harsh conditions and babysitting the smart kids once I get them to the problem. Do you think the pyramid was our new buddy's real target or just a consequence? If it was the real target we might get company keeping us out.

[ Good to know Simon Says is still a valid reference in the future, tbh. So much of his pop culture feels like it is gonna fall flat, he needs to start a list of what works. ]

I'll make sure to expect the unexpected. If you dig up a manual let me know.

He's an optimist!

There's a lot of stuff out there on the internet, there's gotta be a manual somewhere. It's always worth a check? ]
