[ ARCHIVED ] NPC Scheduler
Replacing our original NPC inbox, we are going to use an "appointment book" type set-up to help making NPC plotting and threading easier for everyone all around.
The following NPCs are available to be threaded with:
Rebbekah
Lindsy
Ledwika
Sergei
Feofan (Theasthai)
Sophia (Theasthai natively, though technically still in Verens)
Given the current low frequency of NPC threads, we are going to just keep all threads on this post! Be it network or log type, we can thread it out here unless requested otherwise.
So without further ado, fill out the following form. It's formatted in a "letter" type as that would be the only way characters can initially communicate and reach the NPCs.

Miss Forsyth,
A couple months back I took a group to further explore Baizho. You may recall the items that I brought to you last time. What we found this time is significantly larger and more difficult to move, though I believe you may find it of interest. It appears to be a component of a generator found in the power plant where the pipes and cores were also recovered, and is in remarkably good and functional condition.
I apologize for not informing you sooner but circumstances prevented it.
The item has been placed in a storage unit which can be found (location given) and the combination to the lock is (combination here). Thankfully it was untouched from the recent thefts.
When you have the time to analyze it I would be very interested in your findings. I look forward to future correspondence.

OOC Questions:
The item in question is this from the Baizho excursion summary:
a truck-sized metal box, its outer casing warped and almost melted-looking but otherwise in jarringly clean condition, with great curled turbines and other complicated machinery visible through the distorted holes. Each one of these boxes exudes a sense of calm resignation not unlike the lighthouse near Theasthai, which may overpower the pervasive feeling of outrage if standing in close range.

Oh wow, a generator? And you said Baizho—that's the underwater city, right? Wow, to think they really were able to operate all that technology down there, and now we have a generator to study first hand.
I'll take a look and let you know! Thanks!!
Rebbekah ♥
OOC Notes:
To make things easier, Rebbekah will send Obi-Wan a message about a week or so later informing him how various tests were done on the parts and while it will take a while for the generator itself to be fully restored, she concludes that the generator was likely used to help generate calm throughout the city. But she will be curious why it also seems to feel like a sense of defeat rather than just relaxed or neutral attitude.

Rebbekah,
Your findings are very exciting, and yet concerning at the same time. From what I've gathered, Sosyne's people met ruin by excessive amounts of calm. To think that they were generating this calm artificially, is a bit disturbing if it was directed at the people. Which I strongly suspect it was.
However, do you think it would be possible to adjust this device to generate a more healthy sort of calm? With Sosyne's imbalance toward anger, perhaps we could use this device to help her. Though I ask this conservatively as I would want to make sure it is safe first and foremost, and would not infringe on anyone's will.
I eagerly await your thoughts on this.

It's hard to say what it could have been used for or for how long. There could have been other settings that allowed different emotions, too, but can't really tell as is.
But it should be possible! Honestly, this kind of system isn't too different from what we use, at least in theory and purpose. It's just the tech that's a bit different. I could even rig it up to generate other emotions, too! And safe of course.
Probably would try some small scale first, though.

That is wonderful news, Rebbeka. I will also inquire of Sosyne to make certain that she is all right with this.
Please keep me updated on your progress.

Greetings Rebbeka,
I just wanted to check in on the progress of the generator. I had a conversation with the other Arehtei representatives and there are some misgivings about its use. Though it was agreed that tests would be good.
Have you had a chance to do any tests with the device as a whole?
Also, I am making plans to go back to Baizho and excavate more of these generators. I believe there may have been at least two of them. If these machines turn out to be beneficial, I believe we will need them. Can you be prepared to receive them?
Regards,
Obi-Wan Kenobi
