Sailor V? As in, Sailor Venus from "Sailor Moon"?



What the heck could have happened that made them appear? Some idiot tried to bomb the planet Venus, thus she appeared?

Turn 3 (March 1991)
Turn 3 (March 1991)

You awoke and realized the summons that were on. The UN was calling you to New York.

And nothing would ever be the same.
---------------------------------
Special Action: You have been summoned by the United Nations to give a briefing on the Digital world and its inhabitants within it, as well as the potential danger if the Barrier separating the Digital world and our own.

You have a choice to tell. (This Action is Free)

What do you tell them?:
[]Write in
-----------------------------------------------------

You only have 4 Action points and are unable to recruit any additional members or gain actions at this time due to the decentralized nature of this organization.

Diplomacy:

[]Talk to the Monster Makers (Part 2): The Wild Bunch, the Monster Makers, are your old friends from college who created the Digimon, and maybe you can see what their insights are. DC: 20

[]The Legal Way of Finding Information: You are going to talk to Bandi, and see if they will willingly give information to you. DC: ???

[]Someone, Anyone Listen to Me: You are supposed to be an expert in the field, and you are, but the problem is, you need allies somewhere to actually listen to you, before a disaster strikes. DC: 60

Martial:

[]Huntches and Policing: You are going to try and get a contact within the Tokyo Police force, maybe you can get something to help you. DC: 45

[]Training: you have been laxing on your Tai Chi since your kids were born. Maybe it's time to take it up again. DC: 50

[]Protecting the Lab: Your Lab, is pretty much the only place where this research is beginning, and you need to compile all the information here. You need to protect it from other… people. And maybe you. DC: 20

[]A Children's Card Game: Digimon and Duel Monsters are the hottest games on the market, so might as well get the kids a gift and learn how to play. It might be fun. DC: 30
---------------------------------

Stewardship:

[]Computers, computers… the Digital World for a Computer!: Your computers are old, inadequate, and frankly, insulting. You need better material, better everything. DC: 60

[]A Salary Akin to your Sacrifices: You are not being paid for any of this, despite it being an incredibly urgent inevitability that needs to happen. You do not want to have your home repossessed because you were not paid, or working a second job when your entire focus needs to be on this. DC: 50

[]Wants and Needs: You need to figure out what the kids want or need for school. DC: 20
-------------------------------------

Intrigue:

[]The Wonders of Technology: You look at the news, and see that there is news. News of cybernetic enhancements, giant robots… and a new world slowly being created. The Worst part was, no one was paying attention. DC: ???

[]The Illegal Way of Getting Information: You are going to hack into Bandi's computers, and see what it can tell you. DC: ???

[]The World is Turning: You need to keep up with the hustle and bustle of the international community. Maybe it can help you get trends or something. DC: 50 (Unlocks the Rumor Mill)

[]The Other Nations Programs: Maybe it's just you, but you don't think that the rest of the world is solely in Japan, and they have a business you can see. Hopefully without anything stupid coming your way you have to clean up. DC: 70

[]Who Watches the Digital… Watchmen?: You think that someone is watching you. And honestly, that is worrying, you haven't done anything that would warrant it yet. DC: 30

[]I Spy: You want to spy on someone, maybe you can. DC:???
-[]Write in below, the DC will correspond with that.
----------------------------------------------------------------

Learning:

[]A Digital History Lesson: Shibumi has sent you some intelligence about Digimon's history and culture… and their Creation myth. DC: 30

[]The Digital Barrier (Part 1): You need to know what exactly that barrier is. So best to start looking at it from the outside, looking in, and discovering… anything. DC: 150

[]The Monsters (Part 2): If you can find out what the new monsters are coming out this year, maybe you can find a way to make them more… docile. DC: 50

[]The Computers of the Past: You have to get one of the old computers that was used, maybe it can help you discover just how the Monsters got onto the internet. DC: 60

[]Reach Out to the Sky: You had a troubling idea that came to your head. What if the Digimon could get into secure systems, telephones, traffic systems, and military satellites… what could you even do to detect them? DC: 100

---------------------------

Personal:

[]Overlook: You can oversee a project personally, giving it a personal touch. Cost 1 Action point. Reward: a single action can have a +20 roll added to the dice.

[]Spend time with your Family: You need to balance your work and your personal life and make sure things don't get strange. Or strained. DC: 0

[]The Cards and Blue Cards: You look at the old code and realize something… The Cards that Namco was creating were using… old code that you created, the basis of the Monsters to evolve. Meaning if you modified it, you could… make a super Card that could force digivolution. It was a gamble, and you didn't know if the code was even stable enough. But you had to try, for old-time sake. DC: ???

AN: Plan format, please.

[X] Plan LORE AND People!
-[x]Write in:
You looked at the UN and sighed "I have nothing substantial to report..."

The Council murmured.

"I have nothing to report because this Body is a sham, that refuses to recognize the situation at hand, this body is only using me, as I feared it would. That I would be used to fulfill an agenda that is not my own, you want to use this information not to protect mankind from a horrible cyber disaster that we don't have a name for... Total Systems Collapse, or the Great Crash...if we're poetic we can call it "The End of the Digital Age."

You breathed in. "None of you understand or are willing to understand the enormity of what is at risk. You never will, or you do not CARE to understand! You are putting a working father, an expert in his field, with no resources other then a bunch of old leftovers...if this is the only line of defense you are willing to make for the species...Then we will deserve what is coming to us."

"We are playing the fire of creation we have no understanding of...I cannot give you anything, because you set me up to fail from the start. I wish for a better world for my children...and if this panel cannot give me anything to make that a reality...then just using me for their political games of Cyberspying and nonsense. Then we have nothing left to discuss."

The Council Mumbled an accusation. "Mr. Wong, we've asked for a report."

"Oh you already know... if anything I was told after everyone else, that you've already done your own studies, and are withholding the information from me out of a misguided sense of...I don't know fear, that you won't have leverage when it all goes to hell." You finished. "If this is who am to serve, then I am scared of what I will discover about you...then anything in the Digital World." You said.

"And here I hoped we would have had our own curiosity outpace our hubris...but it appears I am once again mistaken. I will be available by conference call as instructed, Goodbye."

...How long till things start becoming noticeable that the Internet has more nonsense than just the digital world?

I mean, given this series exists, the Internet is the wild west in the current state. And well...

We have a lot we need to do and the very nature of the internet means we kinda do need to become global eventually to handle the nonsense hiding in the code.
 
Looking at browser and Stick figure history. I hazard a guess that the first signs would probably be roughly around 1998, possibly 1996, given lore wise the stickmen phenomona was kinda known among the animator community as of AVA, albiet very limited in knowledge. Which combined with the rise of flash and browsers, with the clash between explorer and netscape over which would dominate also being around that time frame. Though given that if assuming the series started when first made, there was quite a bit of time between then and 2006 when the first AVA animation was made.

Though...
200s probably fits given Stickpage started 1999, and the formed community is likely to be the group that actually has some clue something odd is going on and would actually give some time for the site to become the center of a group. 🤔

There was also that PBS kids show called Cyberchase I think. Which was one of the early into a computer shows, along with Code Lyoko.
 
Taskforce Digital Shield
Taskforce Digital Shield
Secret note warning about secret plan.

Taskforce Digital Shield should be the cornerstone of future efforts to secure the internet from hostile powers. And yet, in spite of the situation, there is a plan to 'replace' it with a purely American agency under the belief that either the program is compromised, or that the information would fall into the wrong hands if not 'properly secured'. The truth is, the central proponents are control freaks scared that they have no control over this discovery, scheming to correct this mistake to ensure their own control at the cost of everyone, including the United States. The worst part is, many involved are dismissive of the potential threat, operating on the very dangerous idea that by simply having the minds that first made Digimon would make resolving matters easy.

What little we know about the Internet, is enough to know that it could very well build a whole new era, one that everyone benefits, as long as the infrastructure is built and protected. Which, to make full usage would require allowing it to spread globally, at the same time exposing more and more risk as the access points spread, with the very factors that bring it potential allowing access points to become vectors of attack on the machines connected to it, even before accounting the new discovery. Which, as the internet is still so new, we can't be sure if there may be other factors hiding away. A detail which when combined with the deeply interconnected nature means that in order to do it's job, any organization meant to secure the internet will need to be able to operate across the globe, something that will be hard to impossible after the operation goes through, due to it quite literally being a plan to kidnap citizens of a close ally 'for their own safety' in order to try and acquire some of the few experts of the field. While the Wild Bunch are probably the foremost experts, the sheer amount of unknowns involving the internet, and the information suggesting they weren't involved beyond being the creators( no matter what some suggest, there isn't any evidence of a coverup), makes it so acquiring them likely won't resolve the problem of unknowns.

To be blunt, the misgivings given as an excuse are easily resolved by simply throwing our own support behind the taskforce, in manpower, security, and funds. A method that also happens to not only avoid negative diplomatic repercussions, but it could even be a net positive, especially as there is little that could be done to obstruct us helping between our CURRENT POSATIVE relationship with Japan, and the nature of Taskforce Digital Shield as a UN Taskforce. If the other nations have a problem with keeping the Taskforce around, then that just means we could throw a little weight around using the very same excuse they used to form the Task Force against them, and secure at least its multinational nature that will be critical for future events.


A/N: Tried to do a little something here. Focused on basically doing a possible secret letter sent within the USA related to Taskforce Digital Shield, and the quite frankly, dumb and counterproductive USA plans our spy friends informed us about. Cause quite frankly, it reads like a secret society like the Philosophers, or 'hard men making hard decisions' CIA, needs to establish control, and so convinced and 'convinced' people that security demands the program be forced under specifically the USA aegis. In spite of the fact that it'll devastate US political relations and greatly hamper efforts to protect the forming internet by torpedoing the possibility of a truly multinational organization for a long while. It just really has 'We need to control everything to protect you' excuse vibes.
