Basic Plot:
The story arc, involves the investigation of unexplained phenomena, secret organizations, conspiracy theories, and UFO sighting investigation. All related to the intelligence that we are not alone in the universe, and in fact we have been visited by extraterrestrial lifeforms for centuries. But what your investigation reveals is far more inconceivable, when you uncover alien sleeper cells among us - possibly even inside APO. The story moves forward into a more complicated plot that reveals a pending invasion. Our role, as roleplayers, is to tell this story through our characters. We won't just focus on the action but also on the lives of our characters outside their jobs and how they relate with one another. I will set up the missions, provide the obstacles, and drop little crumbs for you to pick up. It will be up to your character to assimilate the information and decide what is truth and what is fiction.
You are approached in college by someone claiming to be from the government, he tells you that you fit a certain profile and that you have the opportunity to work for the U.S. government as a spy. Curious, you accept and soon find yourself taking a series of written tests, including rigorous physical training, and having passed them you are required to sign around 500 non-disclosure agreements to finally become a CIA operative.
You start at your cover site, working under your specialized background skill, analysis, forensics, medical, high tech, linguistics, engineering, etc..., for an evaluation of 1 year. After 12 months, you are told that you are ready to transition to the real operations headquarters at APO (Authorized Personnel Only) - APO is a black-ops division of the CIA that undertakes highly classified missions (hidden even from Congressional oversight) and the reason why APO does not operate out of Langley, VA.

You've been assigned to APO: The headquarters of APO is underneath the Denver International Airport (DIA). APO's director is Nicole Vickers. To enter APO, an employee has to enter the North Gate Tower station. At that station, one has to go towards a door marked "NO ENTRY: Authorized Personnel Only." Employees enter the door using a key card, after which point they have to travel down two levels to another door, once there an eye scan is required to enter the main APO entrance hallway. The door shuts automatically after the employee enters.
At the end of the hallway is a reception desk. The main bullpen of APO is to the left, where employees work at computer stations. The design is bright white on all walls, floors and ceiling. There are minimal doors, the director's office, briefing room, tech and servers, and special ops control room are sectioned off from the rest of the bullpen.

Can I play as a KGB agent, MI6 agent, or double agent?
- Everyone was recruited right out of college - but, this does not discredit the possibility that you were approached by other intelligent agencies during your CIA training period or evaluation period. You can play a double agent if you want to go that rout, we just need to plot together who you work for and what are their goals.
- No. The aliens are our common enemies. It is a clear US against THEM conflict.
- The killing of agents is allowed as long as it is intricate to the plot and discussed, planned, and agree upon beforehand by participating players.
- Yes. Agents can be captured and tortured, some will experience memory loss, others will be tested like lab rats, and even used as valuable trade objects.
- Only one main character per player is allowed. However, you may create NPC fillers that will help move your character's story forward.
- The missions are linear - you go in to complete your mission objective, usually by surpassing a series of obstacles, once you've passed the obstacles you will be rewarded with Intel. How you assimilate and use the Intel will determined the objective of missions for other players. As an added conflict not all missions will reveal good Intel.
- Depending on the setting of the operation an array of useful yet eccentric devices will be assigned to you by the Op Tech. Generally you won't be assigned a firearm, unless the operation calls for one - in such cases you will have the freedom to chose a weapon of your choice. Or, acquire one by disarming the enemy during an operation.
- No metagaming, godmodding, marysue/garystu characters.
- No one-liners ever - one liners are very boring and do not give roleplay partners much to work with.
- No grammar and spelling mistakes - always type out complete sentences, and spell check your posts.
- ALWAYS read the posts before you post your own post. Reading information and posts makes sure that you don't miss any important details.
- Recognize when actions affect your characters and when they don't.
- Never hijack another player's character or plot - do not write out and post actions, dialogue, or history for someone else's character.
- Respect each other, and respect Game Master's rules and requests.
- No autohitting/killing another player's character without consent and beforehand planning.
- Romance is allowed but keep it PG-13.
- Swearing is allowed but keep it mild.
- Posting expectations is once a week, two paragraphs minimum, and written in third person past tense.
