Briefing

Hi, Character, and welcome to Architect Entertainment, where we make your dreams a reality.

I'm here to help direct you to the various features of our facility.

Please feel free to ask me any questions.

Once you're done, I'd recommend you head upstairs to speak with our Architect Instructor to continue the tour

What is Architect Entertainment?

Briefing

Hi, Character. I'm here to help you through the various elements of the Mission Architect.

The Architect computer behind you will walk you through the creation of your story. It's broken up into three pages. Page one, Story Settings, is where you pick the story giver, name your story and write a short description for others about your story.

Page two, Mission Settings, is where you pick the map and the enemy group you want in that specific mission. You can have up to give missions in an arc.

The final page, Mission Details, is where you pick the specific encounters and objectives you want that mission to have. You can have multiple objectives in a single mission. You can even have mission details that aren't required for the mission to complete.

Feel free to ask any other questions on how the process works.

Once you're done here, go talk to the computer tech. He's supposed to give you more information about the machine itself.

What would you like to know? Odds are I've heard it before.

Briefing

Sorry, I don't speak human very well... You are human aren't you? I can never tell.

Sometimes these people look human, but sometimes they're from other planets and timelines and who knows where else. I swear, you think there'd be a law... oh, I think my internal monologue is broken again.

Hello, INSERT NAME. I'm here to explain the Architect technology. My name is, INSERT NAME. I hope you're having a nice INSERT TIME OF DAY.

The computer next to me allows you to create a virtual experience for yourself and others to enjoy. Once you've created your story, the hologram contacts behind me will transform into the story giver of your choice. Speak with any of these contacts to start your story.

Man, I said 'story' a lot in that last sentence. I should look at rewriting my speech...oh, there I go again.

Once you've spoken with the story giver, you'll need to step into our holo-beam and have your body translated into a data stream. This data stream is loaded into our story database, which we call the Arc Server. While in the server what makes up your consciousness will receive stimuli similar to what you may experience within this reality.

We track all activity while you're embedded into the arc server and so we have the ability to alter or adjust any needed parameters while you're in there. Once you leave the Arc Server your data stream is reconverted back to your current form.

I hate that they make me say, 'reconverted'. That's so not true. The form that comes out of the data stream is not the same that went in. It's gained knowledge and experience that the previous form didn't have, but apparently the concept of multiple selves weird out the 'talent'. I wonder if I should tell them about the cascading personality syndrome some of our original 'talent' had back in alpha. No, best not. I'd likely get written up again.

Thank you for your time, INSERT NAME. I hope you've found this information beneficial. Please speak with the Assistant Manager in Studio B.

Briefing

Ah, did you just speak with the Computer Tech? Yeah, he's a little strange. He was a hire straight from Crey Labs... if you know what I mean. If you don't, well it's likely for the best.

I'm glad you've found me in here. This area we call Studio B, but I like to think of it more like a library. We keep it quiet in here. No powers. So, if you want to work on a story and don't want to be bothered with all those effects going off around you, this is the place to be.

If you have any questions, there's an instructor in here too.

I think your next stop is the Restoration Room... visiting of course. I wouldn't do anything to you. We've just met. The Studio Manager wants you to have an idea of where it's located. It's back out the door you came through and to the right. You take the elevator to it.

Have a good day, and keep it down. People are working.

Briefing

HI! We don't see many people coming in through the front door. You must be on a tour. This is the Restoration Room. Whenever you get defeated while playing an arc, this is where we reconstitute your body. It's kind of like a hospital, but more like a teleportation unit. It all connects up to our Arc Server. We monitor all your vitals while you're in the mission so nothing bad happens, at least that's what I'm supposed to say. You have no idea how many bugs we had to work out before we got approval to use it. We non-organics are the worse.

Anyway, I'm sure we'll be seeing a lot of you. Not that you're going to hang around and chat with us, I mean you could if you wanted to. This is a pretty boring job. It's not like being a ticket vendor... I just watch a bunch of dials. Seriously, a Rikti monkey could do this job.

The Studio Manager left a note that you're supposed to go back out to the main studio and talk with our Ticket Tech.

Briefing

Welcome... Welcome... Welcome... Come one, come all, give us your tickets and we'll give you the world!

...cough... cough... Oh, sorry. I was just practicing. I'm not actually a ticket vendor. I'm just a tech really, but I'm hoping for a promotion. I put in for one to the Studio Manager, but he says they need techs to work out the kinks in the vending system... I guess that's true, but I've got CHARISMA! I can't waste it on fixing computers. You mind if I 'practice' my vending skills on you? Thanks. Okay, here it goes...

The world of Architect opens all possibilities to those who build and experience its potentiality. Our store is the synergy of your effort given form.

If it's recipes, salvage, enhancements or even a classic reward roll you want, we are the perfect storm of advancement just for you.

Mission Architect is a meritocracy, the more you play, the more tickets you collect. These tickets are stored as salvage. Bring these tickets here and buy, buy, buy.

How was that? I'm working with a vocal coach, but I think it was pretty good.

Of, if you actually want to buy stuff, you should go talk to the real vendors over there. Thanks for the session.
