Resurrection Reorganization

« thedeadlymoose

This is based off a proposal from Troy for improving Resurrection's structure.

Following This Format: http://i.imgur.com/vQao2JP.png

  • Troy suggests creating individual Sub-Hub-Pages for each phase, or act, or whatever.
    • If we do, I suggest adding a temporary new section for the CURRENT Act, called "new additions to prior Acts" or summat, so each new story gets time in the sun.
  • I'm thinking that if we go with this, we should use blurbs — the ones I've proposed can be a start.
    • Stories that take place after Tentpole stories but are in their own separate sequence should mention the tentpole story in their blurb, and make sure to backlink to it in their text.
  • We still hold off on posting most stories until we have a whole bunch written and see what our Main Plot looks like.
  • We'll set that up on the Project Hub sandbox once this is altered and implemented.

ONE

Alpha-9 Main Arc

  • Immediate Actions — Iris Incident.
  • The Seed of an Idea — Alpha-9 proposed.
  • Deals with the Devil — Sophia Light is given command of Alpha-9.
  • New Tricks — Kain is brought into Alpha-9 in a key R&D role.
  • The Wolves at the Door — Iris is forced to join Alpha-9 in a leading role.
  • Girl's Night Out — Adams brings Iris out on a girl's night out with Chelsea Elliott and Blaire Roth as a way of mollifying her. GOC discovers the existence of Alpha-9.
  • NEW STORY: "Reactions to Council approval of Alpha-9" story.
    • No idea what the plot of this needs to be, only that it needs to fill in beats that are missing in this arc.
    • Should likely star Light, as Boss of Alpha-9, and take place after I Was Not Magnificent in the timeline. Before Camp Granada.
    • Iris should show up. Mention decision to send Iris to Camp Granada.
    • Could do well to mention or cameo other characters who have been established. Tie everything together. Light should comment on them. Start figuring out where to place them and where to go next. That kind of deal. Mann & Clef IRL can help with this organizational bit; Light might have advisors helping out.
    • Should mention clearly that everyone brought in fresh is gonna need at least two months of training. And that Iris is already being trained.
    • Possibly include: Training Scene with Iris. Right now there's no real sense of what her training even is.
    • Main issue: This is a story in which nothing happens except a bunch of necessary beats are hit. Maybe combine with another plot?

Glimpses Into The Past

  • I Quit — Over a decade ago, an O5 quits.

Mobile Task Force Lambda-2

  • Contingency — Clef and his assistant Adams are recruited for an unusual task force.
  • What's in a Name? — Shenanigans.
  • Number One With a Bullet — Clef trains Adams.

Directors Aktus and Gillespie

  • Integrity Project — Director Karlyle Aktus is recruited into Alpha-9 to identify SCPs to bring into Alpha-9.
  • Boss of Me — Aktus clashes with another director, Gillespie, while looking for SCPs for Alpha-9.
  • Additional Resources — Aktus recruits Agent Lurk, and Artificial Intelligence Alexandra.
  • I Was Not Magnificent — Gillespie meets Light. Absolute chaos ensues.

Recruitment For Alpha-9 - Individual Tales

  • Like We Were Ever Kindergarten Teachers to Start With — Maria Jones asked to reactivate the survivors of Omega-7.
  • Light-Dependent Reactions — Chelsea Elliott is recruited into Alpha-9.
  • Museum of Idiots — The Little Misters totally fail to be recruited into Alpha-9.
  • Lending a Hand — Jeremiah Cimmerian & SCP-XXXX.
  • Job Opportunities — O5-4 arranges for MC&D to transfer an anomalous operative to the Foundation, and Alpha-9: Alexander Foxx.
  • Just A Formality — Daniel Aeslinger is sent to interview an unknown party. [THIS SHOULD BE REWRITTEN. We can add a REWRITTEN tag once done.]

O5 Command

  • Pythia's Wing — O5-9 and O5-10 go to see Oracles about Alpha-9.
  • The High Court With The Magic Army — The Council makes their decision on Alpha-9.

TWO

Alpha-9 Main Arc

  • Operation "Camp Granada" — Iris observes her first mission.
  • No Joke — A month or so later, Iris goes on the first Alpha-9 mission. (Rest of the team isn't assembled yet.) No Joke is ahead on the timeline of every single story so far, so we need to integrate it post haste.
  • New Stories:
    • Iris' Character Arc is severely missing beats. Consider for coming stories.
    • Alpha-9 is be brought together in its First Form after No Joke.
      • Possibly a Giant Collab Story.
      • Maybe play on Iris having already gone on their First Mission alone — actually we'll need to find a way to make that make sense. Should be easy to justify if the rest of the team wasn't even actually brought together in the same place, so they haven't even met, and the others hadn't finished training. Iris has been in intensive training this whole time.
    • I'm thinking that we should do some Giant Collab Stories in the style of Incident 239-Clef-Kondraki, Duke Til Dawn, etc. [Uh, with our modern quality standards, of course.] Pick a primary writer who makes sure the structure all gets done and everything is arranged properly, and go from there. This way, writers don't get left out in the cold if they're mostly writing for side arcs.

Glimpses Into The Past

  • Snakes and Ladders — Researcher Zyn Kiryu gets her start.
  • Factotum — Background on one member of the O5's left hand.
  • New Stories:
    • Incident Zero. (May be too big to keep here. May need its own section.)

Marshall, Carter, and Dark

  • Back Alley Deals — O5-4 meets with MC&D rep. Carter makes a discovery post-Camp Granada.
  • We Got A Good Thing Here — Foxx and Adams go to meet MC&D in the wake of their discovery.

Director Aktus

  • Folly — Aktus' recruitment of an SCP goes very wrong.

The Remains of Omega-7

  • All This Wandering — Maria Jones reactivates the survivors of Omega-7. [SLATED FOR REWRITE]

Lurk Dietrich, Django Bridge, & Aleksander Foxx

  • Tasers & Thermite — Shenanigans with Lurk and Bridge.
  • Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Huntsman — Foxx discovers some secrets, is recruited for Lambda-2.
  • Are We There Yet? — More shenanigans with Lurk and Bridge.
  • New Stories:
    • Unposted story with Lurk & Bridge recruited into Lambda-2.

Other Arcs [Catch-All, temporary category]

  • Zyn & Mann both need to be introduced into this arc, otherwise "Snakes and Ladders" may have to be moved to the next phase.

Alpha-9 Documentation

  • New Stories:
    • Aktus' Preliminary Reports on SCPs Proposed for Alpha-9.
    • Side Interviews and such? Stuff we want to throw together for fun. This new structure would give us a lot more room to move, so we could do that more easily without worrying about slowing the pace.
