Questions/Question 256

Thank you mods!! And apologies in advance for all the damage she's gonna do.

Will there be any punishment for doing a lot of damage?

And apologies if you're getting to this question later, no rush, but do characters (particularly those who were on dig team or tried writing back to the words) still feel watched in kelesis?

Edit: additional question, would there be anything odd to note about the doe-eyed stranger if recorded on syntrofos? (tighnari's been getting used to whipping his out to record as much weirdness as he can, such as at the welcome speech.)

What if someone was in Kelesis already (leading dig things and stretching the "only two nights" to three and four), would the doe-eyed stranger appear to Tighnari at dig squad HQ on the morning of the fourth?

There's a part of Patho-Gen that anticipates this kind of response from characters, so punishment won't be as stark as it could be. These are very volatile specimens, these Augmented. The punishment won't be considered 'premeditated' by the collective Karterian standard (which, as a refresher, premeditation to Karterian society is worth a more severe punishment in general), so if a massive amount of damage is done during the imprinting exercise, the character'll obviously 1. get shut down, 2. wake up in a high-security hospital room where Patho-Gen claims they're "monitoring their Augmenter for strange readings that may have caused the outburst", and then 3. issued some manner of community service to atone for their crimes. Damage a sciencey room, make it up to the whole of Karteria by helping other people out.

Characters will still feel watched in Kelesis, yes. There isn't any sense of malevolence or upset, even toward the dig team. Kelesian reputation is still high! 💖

Doe-eyed stranger: they can be recorded like anyone in Kelesis, and the same sorts of Kelesis-patented video distortion may still affect their physical form.

The doe-eyed stranger may indeed visit Tighnari at any point that is convenient to you to relay the same message, all before managing to steal away. What's important is that the Kelesian Mystery Person will only dispense this same amount of information, and no matter what, will manage to get away.

As an un-asked for detail: Trying to physically restrain them or anything will fail. They will escape without a fight. If a character decides to attack them, restrain them, etc, the Augmented One aggressing them will...... get kicked out of the city for a day. Begone. Think about what you've done in time out.
