Inquisitorious field agents report that the Collective fleet assaulting Arx appears to be led by Ghafa Ordam of Capital Enterprises aboard the Dreadnaught Ocaejar. Intercepted comms chatter suggests that other high-ranking Collective targets are present in the warzone, but the Dark Council has prioritized breaking the Collective’s chain of command. Key to that is neutralizing Ordam’s ability to coordinate the attack.
You have been tasked by the Dark Council to form a small team capable of infiltrating the Ocaejar and capturing or killing Ghafa Ordam. Secondary objectives include obtaining intelligence on Collective battleplans and securing any available Collective encryption ciphers. Finally, destroying the Ocaejar itself could deal a serious blow to the Collective’s operations and morale.
Dark Brotherhood forces in orbit around Arx are spread too thin to directly attack the Collective command ship, but the Inquisitorious may be able to provide assistance with infiltration and extraction.
This is a co-op fiction, meaning two to three members will participate in writing a single, cohesive fiction.
This competition will award up to 4 bonus Clusters of Ice at a rate of 1 per 500 words, in addition to the normal clusters awarded for fiction competitions.
Grading will be based on the fiction rubric with a few additional requirements:
Submissions: Teams must submit two copies, one "clean" document (without comments or track changes) for reading in PDF, .doc, or .docx format as well as a second "annotated" version where all writers' contributions are clearly marked using comments and Track Changes (in Microsoft Word) or by "Version History" in Google documents. Edits and comments in the "annotated" document must be clearly attributable to a team member.
If using Word: for the "annotated" version, submissions must be made in .doc or .docx format with all tracked changes and comments visible.
If using Google docs: you must share the document with the event organizers by clicking the blue "Share" button in the top-right corner of the screen and entering their email addresses. Be sure to give full "editing" access when sharing the document (you will see a dark grey pencil icon to the right of the email address entry box). Include a link to your Google doc at the beginning of your "clean" copy.
Teams: Teams must be made up of two or three people. You must identify your team members by name and dossier number at the top of your document along with links to character sheet snapshots for each team member. You can create and find manual snapshots by going to the "Possessions and Loadouts" link in your admin menu and selecting the "snapshots" tab.
Word count: Each writer must contribute at least 500 words total and a roughly equal proportion of the total word count. For example, each member of a two-person team must contribute approximately 50% of the total word count, whereas each member of a three-person team must contribute approximately one-third of the total. A writer's substantive edits and comments will be considered when evaluating whether they contributed a sufficient proportion of the document.
