THE RACETHE IMPACTSTHE MECHANICS
City 13 is at the top of the food chain, surpassing the long held dominance that City 24 once held in full. With the end of Operation: Diaguillion and the recent recapturing of City 2 by City 13 - rebuilding is prioritised across the Sector.

However, City 24 and hardliner elements within Industrial 24 that despise the French Dominion over Sector 10 passively resist. Industrial 24 is the Magnum Opus for the political fencing of The Two Cities.

Industrial 24 is currently being eyed by the mega-departmental organisation labelled 'The Combine's Logistics Committee' and City 13 by economical intrigue. Industrial 24 is at risk of being completely subjugated by both of these powers.
There are pros and cons to a subjugation by either of these entities, however either spells one of two things: The final nail in the coffin for City 24s, or City 13s supremacy.
The political arc known as 'AN APOCALYPTIC BILL' depicts the server's progress, reactions and consequential activities to the oncoming passive roleplay which is fully driven in-character. In order for Industrial 24 to keep its independent distribution unharmed, it must choose; City 24 or City 13. The measurement of the debt and liquidation of assets is depicted with a graphical information in the above spoiler details that progress.

Each impact corresponds to the increase or decrease in debtline of Industrial 24 within the server. These are influenced by actions of players on the server.

Should the APOCALYPTIC BILL be paid, City Thirteen will cease its liquidation of the Industrial Sector and the Summit 24 Sectorial Administration will decree their role completed in the affair. City Twenty Four will have a chance of recovering part of its dominion.

Should the APOCALYPTIC BILL be unpaid, City Thirteen will become the permanent, domineering hegemony of the Combine in Sector Ten after assimilating Industrial Twenty Four. City Twenty Four will become a footnote in history as a puppet-client state. Events and driven factors will also highly result the route the server will take, with (at best) minimal GM intervention under the duress of the server's activity.

Should the resistance succeed in disrupting this affair, there will be no winners - only losers between the two competing cities amongst the under the totalitarian grip of the Combine's tyranny; spelling great uncertainty in the stability of the Sector and anarchy in Industrial Twenty Four should they succeed.​
The debt reading is effectively how many credits the city is due to the CLC. The more this debt is failed to be paid, Arceneaux's patience will run out, and liquidation of assets will increase as a permanent nullifier.

Should the CLC's suspicion levels rise, it is expected that they will launch pre-ordained investigations into Industrial Twenty Four. Corruption discovered by the CLC will result in a hefty credits fine, and a major increase in liquidated assets by City Thirteen.

Should Industrial Twenty Four continue producing material and equipment, the city will not draw the ire of the CLC or City Thirteen. However, Civil Protection is insisted to protect these activities as much as possible; underfunding will result in loss of heavy equipment.

Should the resistance act to disrupt the Combine's plans, the situation may turn grim for the stability of the city and may produce chaos in the population. Economic growth is stimulated by actively trading with other cities and vice-versa. Should the Leviathan become active, prepare for hell and serious increases in infestation levels and pollution which play key roles in productivity.

OOC NOTES

Make sure to update your content from the server collection.
The server has the following changes committed for this arc to be successfully balanced.

- Event characters from different cities may arrive to negotiate deals, increase or decrease levels of corruption, commence inspections of cargo and prescribe objectives to the resistance.
- The Genevan Leviathan is a lake monster that is unprecedented in size, and sits dormant under the Lake. Should that awaken, you're likely expected to face swarms of serious and very dangerous creatures.
- High levels of infestation will result in periodic attacks by creatures both inside residential and productivity structures and in civilian areas and sewers.
- Extreme levels of pollution will cause map wide gas levels to increase when outdoors.
- The deaths of important people may result in serious ramifications for the entire Industrial Zone.
- Use the lore map to keep track of updates in regards to the city's progress.

- Event deaths are a PK by default when dealing with the campaign mechanics. Success and failure truly depends on your own actions and interactivity between the rest of the players.

--- The GMs are a supportive reactionary foundation for your objectives - what ever they may be - so you are expected to roleplay well and put effort into your /me's.

With the passing of "The Race for Production Act" The M.O.C, through its vague wording, has inadvertently gained control of local supply trains in i24.. Combined with past legislation granting M.O.C a bypass from local CLC inspections and control over major industrial complexes, the stage is set to secretly supply C24s construction efforts in return for monetary gain. Public perception for C24 could quickly change as a result, perceived as heroes extending support for their lost city... A chance to regain influence.
- ECONOMIC GROWTH MAY INCREASE IN THE FUTURE.
- THE CLC'S SUSPICION LEVELS INCREASE.

The Consul's Guard has been formed. With an army of men at his back ready to his bidding, the Consul has made moves to raise funding to relieve the debt. Alongside future efforts to lobby various collaborators in support of his agenda to 'free' Industrial Twenty-Four. 'Funding' Operations have been enacted, with members compelled to 'raise funds', by any means within the confines of the law.

- ECONOMIC GROWTH MAY INCREASE IN THE FUTURE.

The Consul has made an addendum to Resolution Three,

"3.1. Trade through Industrial 24 by land has been re-permitted. All non-luxury goods are permitted to be transported to and from Industrial 24.".
"3.2. The Civil Worker's Union are to begin initial stages of repair for the I24-C24 Railway Line."

- ECONOMIC GROWTH MAY INCREASE IN THE FUTURE.
- INDUSTRIAL PRODUCTIVITY REGISTERED ACTIVE.

The Commerce Executive has secretly reached out to the City 24 Administration, proposing a deal to assist restoring their influence in return for monetary support.. He awaits their reply for further talks. Simultaneously, the Vice Executive has planned a series of domestic financial measures designed to alleviate the debt burden.

- ECONOMIC GROWTH MAY INCREASE IN THE FUTURE.
- THE CLC'S SUSPICION LEVEL HAS INCREASED TO SCEPTICAL AND MAY WARRANT FUTURE INVESTIGATIONS.

It will take some time for the Civil Workers Union to regain their strength, as they currently are standing at 40% working capacity. It will take a few weeks to replenish the stocks within the various zones and catch up on the various work that was unable to be done

The White Dove resistance used radio broadcasting to signal a message across the city, inspiring many silent minds to doubt the regime's capability of pertaining to their humanity. The disclosure of such crimes has many in the regime on edge. The Combine swiftly attempted filtering and disrupting this network broadcasting in order to hsly the networking assault on their propaganda machine. It is unclear if it was successful.
- SLIGHT INCREASE IN RESISTANCE ACTIVITY
 
1696779981951.png
A massive rebel incursion of twenty fighters and Vortigaunts stormed one of the city's external supply depots and train re-fueling and re-transit centres. Masses of Civil Protection equipment was stolen in the raid, with two full Overwatch squads destroyed, one Civil Protection force eliminated and one Hunter killed. One Vortigaunt and one fighter liberated from the train were killed. This will impact the state of Civil Protection in Industrial Twenty Four by a small margin, affecting their 'Funded' status.

- CIVIL PROTECTION REMAINS FUNDED.
- FURTHER ATTACKS WILL DESTABILISE CIVIL PROTECTION'S LOGISTICAL SUPPORT.
- INCREASED RESISTANCE ACTIVITY, ARCENEAUX HAS BEEN MADE AWARE!

Elias Siemens, the chairman of the security council was murdered in public. The Overwatch Transhuman Arm swiftly responded, a resistance cell in due process was eliminated in retaliation...

- INCREASED RESISTANCE ACTIVITY.
- RESISTANCE ACTIVITY NOW DEEMED A 'THREATENING' STANCE. ARCENEAUX ACCELERATES LIQUIDATION EFFORTS.

The Advisory has become aware of *a* certain level of activity in the city limits...

- UNKNOWN CONSEQUENCES.

The CWU may begin early operations to check the canals for oil deposits If the legislation is approved, the CWU may establish a base of operations in the canals for oil extraction. Oil installations will be set up throughout the canals and truck convoys need to be arranged between the locations to transport goods of unrefined petroleum.
https://willard.network/forums/threads/oil-for-our-city.11042/
- LEVELS OF POLLUTION WILL INCREASE IF THIS IS PASSED.
- ECONOMIC GROWTH MAY INCREASE IN THE FUTURE.

The CWU have accomplished their task of clearing out the tunnel network toward the harbour. Additional contents and commodities may be shipped to and from the rest of the Sector within Industrial Twenty Four.
- INFESTATION LEVELS ARE MINIMAL.
- THE GENEVAN LEVIATHAN STILL LAYS DORMANT.
- POLLUTION LEVELS SLIGHTLY DECREASE.

An attack on an important Combine's Logistics Committee representative has been conducted. It is unclear if this figure has been wounded, killed, or escaped unharmed after confirming various work orders have been successfully completed.
- THE CLC REMAINS SCEPTICAL DUE TO CURRENT AND PAST EVENTS.
- RESISTANCE ACTIVITY SLIGHTLY INCREASES.

The Civil Workers Union are preparing for a large scale expedition into the wastes to scavenge for important supplies. The Goal of the Expeditionary Force was to Urbanize and salvage the newly mentioned area within the passed Legislation. The Workers Expeditionary Force, short WEF, was sent to the new site alongside Civil Protection to accomplish their goals. The Emergency Re-Prioritization Act.
- CONSEQUENCES YET TO BE REVEALED UPON COMPLETION.

Large swathes of territory in Industrial Seventeen have been erected and secure by Combine forces. The mass-expansion projects have dimmed the economic growth of the industrial sector, and with recent discoveries of natural resources unveiled; the City's Administration rushes to secure the territory.

- ECONOMIC GROWTH LOWERS, MAY INCREASE IN FUTURE.
- INDUSTRIAL PRODUCTIVITY REMAINS ACTIVE.

The Combine's Logistics Committee remain sceptical of the city's endeavours to lock the global administrative body from its ability to perform required inspections and desired blackouts of communication with certain entities. Given this, industrial productivity remains active as expansion continues.

- CLC SITUATION REMAINS THE SAME.

City 13's administration threatened martial authority over Industrial Seventeen if further attacks continue to be made, with an additional prod of the Combine's Conscript Reservists (the Republican Guard detachment) to keep order. At least fifteen percent of the Industrial Sector has been liquidated to French martial authority.

- ARCENEAUX BIDES HIS TIME TO SEE THE OUTCOME OF CERTAIN AFFAIRS, POLITICALLY.

A massive victory in the United States of America has surged loyalist entrenchment across the entirety of the Combine. Global Administrator Wallace Breen addresses the entire planet with live footage of the Conscript forces of the Americas surviving overwhelming odds to 'Save the planet' from the Xenian Malignancy Zone. With the collapse of the Patriots Resistance in the United States in various parts of the country, massive movements of intercontinental trade between the Combine's Western Hemisphere and Central Consolidation Zones in Europe have seen a great flow of oncoming resources.

- RESISTANCE SUFFERS COLLAPSE IN THE POST-WAR AMERICAS, IMPACTS RESISTANCE ACTIVITY.
- HUGE INVESTMENT OF RESOURCES INBOUND FROM THE UNITED STATES. DECREASES DEBT BY 50K.
- HUGE PROPAGANDA VICTORY FOR THE COMBINE.

Vortigaunts suffer greatly within the Vortessence, with the loss of a very powerful figure within the coalescence that is their hivemind. They suffer at the hands of productivity and resistance activity.

- RESISTANCE ACTIVITY AND INDUSTRIAL PRODUCTIVITY SUFFERS.

Civil Protection remains funded and well maintained.

- CP SITUATION REMAINS THE SAME.

As the situation deteriorates with the loss of the personal Adjutant to the Global Administrator - assassinated enroute to a very important and Sector Level SECURITY COUNCIL MEETING, a dilemma has been set in the addition of a deadline. Tensions between Industrial 24 and City 13 have increased, and the liquidation of the Industrial Sector is still moving at a rapid pace.

The failure of the Combine to remotely protect the region with as much ground units functionally possible has resulted in great conspiracy and suspicions within the internal functions of the CCA.

With the loss of City 59, now a closely kept secret by the regime and is conclusively being mind-erased from the population - the situation continues to be grim...​

THE INDUSTRIAL 24 CONSUL, HANK, WAS ASSASSINATED, AND THE DEADLINE IS NOW IMMINENT. CITY THIRTEEN'S DELEGATION NOW RAPIDLY SEEKS TO LIQUIDATE THE STATE OF INDUSTRIAL TWENTY FOUR DUE TO THE OVERWHELMNG RESOURCE INDEBTITUDE TO OUR BENEFACTORS.
(POLITICAL DISASTER IN THE EYES OF OUR BENEFACTORS...)

RESISTANCE ACTIVITY IS NOW UNABLE TO BE ANALYSED UNDER THE CURRENT STATE OF DISARRAY.
(There has been eerie silence on their activity, and the Combine has not put major resources into investigate measures, here.)

A STRAIN OF POWERFUL FORMS OF INFESTATION HAS ARISEN IN THE CITY, A CONSEQUENCE OF FAILING TO DEAL WITH THE OLDER STRAINS OF INFESTATION THAT MADE ITS ESCAPE MONTHS PRIOR.
(This has divided operations from resource allocation to protective measurements.)

THE LEVIATHAN WAS ALERTED BY VARIOUS ACTIVITIES, THOUGH HAS SO FAR NOT CARRIED OUT ATTACKS ON THE LOCAL POPULATION.
(No other activity registered.)

THE SUMMIT REGULATIONS COMMITTEE HAS BEEN ENGULFED IN SCANDAL, THOUGH THEY HAVE PINPOINTED THE BLAME OF THE DEATH OF THE ADJUTANT TO A FAULT IN DEFENSIVE MEASURES. OPEN HOSTILITIES OCCURRED WITHIN THE GROUND INITIATED BY CITY THIRTEEN CONSCRIPTED FUNCTIONARIES.
(THIS WILL HAVE REPRECUSSIONS TO CITY 13'S LEGITIMACY AND LIQUIDATION OBJECTIVES.)

INDUSTRIAL 24 RUSHES TO ESTABLISH COAL AND OIL MINING OUTPOSTS TO QUICKLY ESTABLISH A TRADE ROUTE FROM GENOA TO THE DISTRICT, IN ORDER TO SUPPLY GENEVA. THIS WILL TAKE TIME TO ESTABLISH.
(Economic Growth may eventually recover. Maybe.)

RESOURCE IMPORTS HAVE BEEN SHIPPED INTO THE INDUSTRIAL SECTOR AND HAVE BEEN DISTRIBUTED TO CITY THIRTEEN, IN TURN ABSOLVING EFFORTS OF THE COMBINE'S LOGISTICS COMMITTEE TO HALT THEIR ASSISTANCE OF LIQUIDATION OF INDUSTRIAL AND CITY ASSETS TO CITY THIRTEEN'S AUTHORITY. THIS TOTALLED TO EIGHTY-THOUSAND 'CREDITS'.
- The Debt Reading decreases as the fruitful labours of the city's denizens have contributed to a final allocation through established mining outposts.

WORK ORDERS WITHIN THE CITY HAVE FINALLY ARISEN TO A SUCCESSFUL AMOUNT, AND THE TOTAL RESOURCE ALLOCATION EFFORTS TOTALLED TO FIFTY-THOUSAND 'CREDITS'.
- The Debt Reading decreases as the fruitful labours of the city's denizens have contributed to a final allocation through multiple production efforts.

A NEGOTIATIVE EFFORT INVOLVING A REDISTRIBUTION OF RESOURCES FROM OTHER SECTORS HAS BEEN SUCCESSFULLY RE-PROVIDED. THIS TOTALLED TO AN ALLOCATION REFUND OF EIGHTEEN-THOUSAND-NINE-HUNDRED 'CREDITS'.
- The Debt Reading decreases as the fruitful labours of the city's denizens have contributed to a final allocation through one larger trade-out.

!!! ONE WEEK REMAINS !!!​

THE APOCALYPTIC BILL ARC HAS ENDED.

FINAL STATISTICS
​
HIGHEST BILL RATING: 410,000
TIME TAKEN: FIVE MONTHS.
ENDING: INDEPENDENCE UNDER THE BLOKE REGIME.
TOTAL LIQUIDATION: 53%.

City Thirteen has officially stripped-mined Industrial Twenty Four of its capable resource provisions, and in a last ditch effort to hold the Horsemen of the Apocalyptic Bill within Paris - the Industrial Zone finds itself fully committed to redistributing resources across Combine controlled territories, globally...

The Ministry of Commerce have (in)directly drained the sector of its retained strategic reserves.

Civil Protection finds itself unable to procure new equipment in higher-grade and appropriate ability.

The population will be rippled by famine and will die in the streets, perhaps even in line waiting for their rations.

Without resource reserves, the infrastructure is nothing short of a vulnerable push from collapsing in on itself.

Industrial Twenty Four retained independence from Sector assimilation.
But at what cost?
