Content ( Missions )

Project Overview

After the Skadenga Saga was merged Wizrad requested I work on creating missions for the rest of human space rather than returning right away to the Deep (I left a loose end there I will need to return to eventually - Hroar!). From that request I began work on Saga's Saga, which was in essence a robust mission pack in human space. I was informed that Saga's Saga would be not practical to be merged, and instead was encouraged to PR the individual missions from it. This is one of those missions sets.

My goal is to make good on Wizrad's request of adding more content to the rest of human space, while also developing stories, characters, and environments in said space that are only briefly addressed or touched on currently in game. I also like telling stories in time, as this gives players a reason to return to human space after their initial pass on it. I also think it's interesting to see characters and situations change or develop over time and demonstrate to the player that the relationships they create can at times have more lasting effects then one off missions.

I don't believe any of my PR's are objectionable, and am willing to alter them as needed by the developers. It is my intent to see all them enriching the core game.

Other Project Missions:

Ildico

This is a mission string revolving around Ildico Drifa: a survivor on Hope you run into either by visiting Hope, or via a follow up mission to the Stones of our Fathers mission line.

This mission explores a little more about the consequences and politics of Hope's fall.
As with most my missions it is a story told in time, and so there is a two year break between the first half and the second half of the mission set. This time is needed for Ildico's circumstances to change.

Importantly this mission also introduces a companion to the famed Tear of Skade, the Blood of Surtr.

skadetearharmonized@2x

I have another mission string (currently being adapted from my abortive Saga's Saga) that I will hopefully be PR'ing in the near future that will have more to do with the Tear of Skade/Blood of Surtr.

Should bloodsurtr.png also be in this PR?

Yeah. I think I may need to wait for Bene to get back to get that in correctly.

Nice! Another good looking mission from you. I'll take time to review that at some point.

Apologies, I mistyped the file name

` Ildico opens the rune-carved lid of the box, revealing a faintly glowing red rock. "It is called the Blood of Surtr, and it was said to have been the symbol of our rulership, and more importantly, a source of power."`
` She shrugs. "I know it sounds far-fetched. But I had this with me on Hope, and I don't think I would have survived without it. When the generators went down, this kept the lights on.`
` "But, it's time with me is over. I want you, the last friend of House Drifa, and the only person whose shown me any kindness in many years, to have it.`

Is this going to end with you crashing an asteroid into Hope?

` Ildico steps forward and looms over Ian like an angry shadow. It appears that it is taking all of her willpower to keep her from ripping this man apart. "Concerns?"`
` "Y-yes. I don't know the specifics. You have to understand, here at the Academy it's not just about money. It's about politics, and power. I am just a Second Degree Terraformer. I wasn't privy to the details. But someone, or some government or corporation didn't want it. If you want to know more you'll have to ask him yourself."`
` Ildico seems to deflate. "Ask him? Is he here?"`
` The terraformer shakes his head. "Oh, no. He doesn't work for the Academy. But after the rejection he went to the heart of the Republic, I assume to find out why. He now works for them. I see his name from time to time. He, like all the real leaders of the Republic, is on Chiron. Just head to the main office for the Department of Migration."` # This is a rather huge precedent. Will need to either justify or restate.

I don’t think this follows unless you choose the fourth dialogue option.

Only if it's Ildico's way to destroy it forever.
