Seriously, it's about time. Here we ar-wait WTF?
> Be Someone in Charge.
Who the hell's in charge here?
> OK, just who are we.
You are
HAMIFI HEKRIX, CEO of the Repiton Corporation, and the one who has to fix the mess you are in. By the time the rolling disaster abates and the situation is under control, you get back to your *other office*, which is to say the place you normally work from in Stronghold 48, which houses the current hindquarters of the said Repiton Corporation. Stronghold 21, the original location, experienced unfortunate events a few sweeps ago and nothing has ever been the same again.
You know, these days it seems like you're the only one with the leadership capacity to do ANYTHING around here, particularly when there were some changes. You've lived through some pretty big changes, but there's a lot more to do.
> Get off that stupid device and pay attention.You can't, because you're currently texting your
MATESPRITE, to ensure he is kept up to date on your continued survival. The
ETHERON ARRAY, which is firmly attached to a solid monolith of graystone to ensure it's continued survival, means he can be updated in REAL TIME. You have to give directions to ensure he won't have a panic attack when, in a couple of minutes, news of the latest cataclysm hits the screens.
We're not going to be covering that here in logs. That is
CONFIDENTIAL.
> Fine, we're sorry. Let's examine the room, starting with that slug blaster
This was behind you, of course, between that screen and the poster. It's your trusty DEFENESTRATOR, a sidearm which you use for personal defense. This place is really rough, and there's not much in terms of security personnel around so you have to be ready.
> Hamifi: Examine Poster
The diagram has been printed in poster format in order that it be accessible even during a power outage. This is kind of important.
This is a cross section of your homeworld, Repiton, which has been through a lot. While you managed, by what would be too long a story to tell here, shift your planet out of its prison, other events are in progress that pose a mortal threat to it, and to your entire species. In part, that a
RATHER LARGE DEPOSIT OF FISSIONABLE MATERIALS AT THE PLANET CORE IS ABOUT TO REACH CRITICALITY. The event will likely blow your planet apart.
The core of Repiton is a
NATURALLY MODERATED GEOREACTOR, with a radius of about 44km. This provided the primary nutrition source for SKULLTITANS, and it was considered odd during the RENAISSANCE that they were emerging on the surface in ever larger numbers. The reason for that has become clear.
The core has been undergoing collapse geologically for many sweeps, leading to many criticality excursions and disrupting plate tectonics. Within the next 35-45 half-sweeps, an uncontrolled chain reaction will begin, with enough energy to "gravitationally unbind" the planet. Which is to say, the event will likely blow your planet apart if the physics is down right.
On determining this, you decided to order preparations for the evacuation. It hasn't been received well, but is the best option considering everything.
> Hamifi Hekrix: Check Notifications
You have a LOT of notifications, so you start with the "most important" one first. Regards the recent catastrofuck on Repiton, it looks like 10% of the infrastructure and housing has been taken out of commission, and habitability has generally been impacted now. Conditions on the planet were bad BEFORE this, what with a centenailia or two of unbridled pollution of the oceans, and the fallout from the end of the RENAISSANCE leading to bleak conditions for trolls and any other wildlife.
THE GAME, managed to save you from that, for a while. Now, you're in a race against time to evacuate. At least the material washed up from Repiton's mantle can supercharge your industry.
> Hamifi Hekrix: Elaborate Further on Notifications
ZAGS. That's what your screen looked like earlier. You've cleaned up some of the spam notifications and gotten yourself an ad-free version of the software (you hope). There were a lot of settings here that had to be modified.
> Hamifi Hekrix: Check Up on RepitonRepiton is your homeworld, and of course capital world. Since the beginning of recorded history, and in fact throughout all history, your species has resided here, save for the few who journeyed offworld before
The Event. Or whatever you want to call it, the reason this planet is here, orbiting a new star, in a different universe, and no longer imprisoned in the solitary universe it came from, or for that matter in the Inciphisphere. At least you brought your entire culture with you through that.
There are a total of 18 administrative units of trolls present on the planet. Your Planetary Administration is located at Stronghold 48, to which has been transferred perhaps most of the planet's population after the debacle at Stronghold 21. That remains a sprawling slum, where about an administrative unit of trolls could be re-assigned to more standard employment.
There's no official enforcement division, which is why you have to be heavily armed.
