Rise of the Sentiox
Contents |
Mission Briefing
Standard Mission Length: 3 days
With the initial TitanCore Nodes established, a growing contingent of Sentiox weavers have started populating its digital landscape. But as these digital architects forge their new world, a series of coordinated attacks by the Sha'din Coalition threaten the entire Network. Hale, a pioneering Sentiox program, prepares a defensive strategy and counteroffensive.
Rewards (If Sucessful): 8 Relic Badges (awarded to all ships with completed, non-failed tasks)
Previous Mission: The TitanCore Rebirth
Comm Log
Hale: Though the Network is still developing, we must pause expansion to deal with a pressing crisis.
Where is Phantoss?
Hale: Phantoss oversees much of the outer, physical nodes and uplinks. I tend to the digital weave, and its main security. Hence why I called your team back.
I've seen some alarms. Is the Network under attack?
Hale: By powerful agents of the Sha'din Coalition. A coordinated infiltration. We've sealed off primary access to the TitanCore uplinks in the meantime, but their ships have also started to attack our remote Nodes, far outside of Mechanon.
We know those areas well. We'll send some ships to respond.
Hale: One of the Network viruses the Sha'din attempted to use has already been isolated, but they continue to attempt intrusions during their attacks. My internal team is stretched a bit thin in this phase of development...
Can we analyze the latest virus to develop countermeasures?
Hale: That's the current idea. We've setup a lab for your team to use.
We should consider tracking the Sha'din back to their bases of operation. Stopping them from doing this again.
Hale: Agreed - but I want to ensure that enough ships devote their time to protecting the Nodes... before they are irreparably damaged. That is our first priority.
How many Meganodes are under threat?
Hale: Over a dozen. I'm relaying the coordinates to the sites of the highest importance. Get to them as soon as you can. Stop the Infectors.

Models of Success
The following table shows the kind of participation/progress shown to get varying types of success chances. Please note, This is a work in progress and data is in process of being collected.
There may be instances where it seems like there is a big gap in the number of ships on a task. This is not necessarily a requirement, only the most current data available. There may also be different combinations of spread that bring these chances. Partial completions also may be factored in these cumulative requirements. Alternate combinations will be recorded and posted as well in an effort to record the minimum amount needed for varying chances.
- High Success theory:
task 1 full / equivalent completions : x task 2 full / equivalent completions : x task 3 full / equivalent completions : x
