EVENT: GAME START RESOLUTION

It's been five long days of constant announcements, drone patrols and sometimes attacks and kidnapping. It's probably started to get pretty stressful having to navigate the places where the drones sweep, or trying to figure out ways to figure your freed companions. Will they ever let up?

The answer is, apparently, yes. For anyone trapped in or hanging around the concrete structures on Morning 005, they might notice - of the drones that are still working and intact - that their charging pedestals are systematically going dark. The little indicator light that has been flashing on the fronts of each flickers and goes out as soon as a patrolling drone lands. By Night 005, even the announcements are starting to sound a little weird - sluggish, like an old toy running out of batteries.

Then, when the last drone lands on Morning 006, everything seems to go quiet at the same time. All pedestals go dark, the announcements cease, and the few lights still on in the concrete structures dim. The terminals shut off quickly after that, followed by the keycard readers next to each cell door. There's a series of hefty chu-chunks as the deadbolts disengage. The cell doors don't automatically rise up on their own, but they shouldn't be too hard to pull up by anyone still stuck inside of one.

Lucky for all of you, these drones don't appear to have a robust enough framework to keep functioning for longer than five days. Will they come back on again at some point in future? Hard to say. Someone might want to look into how to stop this from happening later. Until then, rest and relax - next month is a free month without a scheduled event, where characters can focus on recovering, rebuilding, and exploring, with only the usual threats of crossbow-wielding murderers and giant crocodiles in the rivers and the like. Have fun!
