[OOC] The Blood Compact

[Shikaru]

Moved the base to the Character section as well as here, to like, officialise things

[The Grey Dust]

<Snipped quote by The Grey Dust> It's a fully equipped high tech base, if I had've installed an AI this round, the toilet would talk to you.

@Shikaru

But the Purge has scientists on their side :I I'm sure an engineer can bypass your defenses.

If he manages to set his turrets within a Closed System, then there's no way to hack into it without a direct port. And to build a direct port outside of the base would be silly. Hell, he could have a system that closes off certain systems rapidly, causing a sectioned and nearly impenetrable digital frontier. And in order to take apart the turrets, one would need to get close.

@thewizardguy

Taking apart a heat seeking turret would be rather hard, unless you had the right gear. And as Wiz said, Pretty sure Magnus would notice them building outside of his base and crack some skulls. Big ass post for Magnus is up, Going to edit in Rhyss and Matt to it shortly. Be prepared for more walls of text.

[Shikaru]

Edited.

Wait, SOLDIER wanted Rhyss and Mithias dead? Why? That makes no sense whatsoever. It's like getting Darth Vader to work for you, making sure he's completely loyal, pointing him at the enemy, and then stabbing him in the back. There is no way that's going to end well, as the best possible result is the loss of a valuable member and the worst is the gain of a dangerous enemy. I can see no logical reason for the government to attempt to go after their own elites. Furthermore, the Purge can't be hired. They don't care about money whatsoever, to them greed is a sign of the devil. They're a religious crusade in modern times, extremists brainwashed into a psychotic frenzy. Nobody can 'hire' a Crusade. Lastly, when the Purge arrived, they attempted to ally with SOLDIER and fight Magnus together. They extended the hand of friendship. Then, Matt decided to go shoot them, starting a conflict that cost dozens of lives, and resulted in the utter destruction of Kilo Point. The Purge had no intention of hunting down the SOLDIER elite until after the conflict had ended.

@thewizardguy

Following the plot line of the old ones, Magnus' reasoning with SOLDIER was they really sought to destroy the vampires, much like the Purge though less crazy. That explains why they would want to kill them. Maybe SOLDIER tipped the Purge off instead of hiring them? I dunno. I mean, I can edit it to whatever fits. I just figured not all of the Purge were 100% crazy, and if they had scientists etc. researching things, they'd need money to conduct said research.

@Shikaru

However, it doesn't take a genius to figure out that destroying the vampires that WORK for you is a bad idea. Especially seeing as how the vampires in question are about to get attacked by Oldbloods, and you're facing revolution. Eh, the whole tipping off thing is more possible. They're funded by a lot of people. Some of those funders are rich and willing. Others are rich and unwilling.

[The Grey Dust]

Well, let's not be too hasty shall we? For all we know, the Collector could be funding the Purge through a series of proxies. This is most likely the case too given the circumstances. Albeit what would happen if the Purge found out? Have they considered dangling a carrot in front of Bedivere?

[thewizardguy]

Why would Bedhivere ever fund the Purge? They would be actively attempting to destroy Brittain in every sense of the word. They would spread anti-vampire propaganda, destroy Brittish embassies, make attempts on the life of the Queen, perform terrorist attacks on vampires everywhere in the nation, and actively attempt to hunt down Bedhivere.

[The Grey Dust]

Because the collector isn't Bedivere. But Bedivere is the collector. Hence the market may or may not lead to the purge.

[thewizardguy]

Fair enough. Post made for Mathew, feel free to correct me on anything. Mathew's theme song: Click Me!

@The Grey Dust

I find this idea very interesting. What does UK gain from funding the purge in the USA? hmm.

[Wraithblade6]

Maybe I'm a nerd, but after listening a few times, I think I like this song for Mithias. http://youtu.be/q7OIkJWB35Q

Gyah I need to get out of work so I can post!!!!!! >.<

@Wraithblade6

This reminds me of a rather bad joke. What do you call it when a UPS deliveryman shows up at a FedEx store with a strange package tucked underneath his arm? I have no idea, but I'm getting out of the store before he goes Postal.

[Shikaru]

Edited my post to state they wanted them dead due to trust issues, and they tipped them off to their location instead of hire. Sound good?

[thewizardguy]

Sounds fine, Shikaru. Also, Grey, that joke was horrible.

Facepalm. So much facepalm.
