Whhoooooo wants to look through the Broadcasting Library and try to find some juicy banned recordings?

Hello, banned things are Zari's favorite. She would love to check those out.

Re: EXPLORATION PLANS

Okay, so there's a couple searches on banned recordings up already, one on past rebellions/political dissidents and one on the police force/military. Got any other subjects in mind you'd like to search for? I'm about to head off (sorry it took me so long to reply to this, whoops), but I'll try to think of some by tomorrow too so we can get it submitted before the deadline.

It's all good, life happens.

Maybe they could search for cover ups along the lines of like augments malfunctioning and hurting people who couldn't afford better ones, or ways that they left people in the lower levels to suffer in order to support the upper ones? Like cutting corners to not "waste" money on them but people got sick/died as a result?

Oh, if we want to make it about augments, I have an idea. It's a little different from yours, but. I dunno if you've done the Red Tape bounty, but if you have, we could search and see if there's anything about why the government pulled KlarTech's sponsorship? Since that was a huge inconvenience for a lot of people who had to get their augments replaced and in most cases couldn't afford it.

Re: EXPLORATION PLANS

[hackedhistory]

I did not do that bounty, but this sounds perfect! Zari would be wanting to look for something to help the little people who aren't necessarily with the movement since other people are covering that, so if you want to go with this angle, I'm down.

Re: EXPLORATION PLANS

[tormado]

Awesome, I'll get started writing up the exploration post. Zari's good with tech, right? So we can have her do the searching.

Re: EXPLORATION PLANS

[hackedhistory]

Yes! She's a hacker/Inventor so she can handle that stuff.

Re: EXPLORATION PLANS

[tormado]

Okey-doke, how's this look?

Re: EXPLORATION PLANS

[hackedhistory]

Looks great!

Re: EXPLORATION PLANS

Aaand, it's posted!

[rhinostagros]

Ahhh I was going to volunteer for this, but it seems like someone already submitted an exploration for the banned recordings. And I think there's only one per group? Did you have any others in mind? I might be able to still find ways for Laphicet to group up.

[tormado]

We can still search for banned recordings! It just has to be for a different subject. So we can look for a different subject from the two currently posted (one is about past political dissidents, one is about the military/police force) or we can explore somewhere else, do you have a preference?

[rhinostagros]

I don't really have a preference! Laphicet mostly just wants to help and find anything useful... I'm looking at Zari's player's suggestions (because I'm at work and stumped at my own ideas right now) - and I think trying to dig up information on any cover ups sounds cool?!

[tormado]

Alright, after talking a bit upthread, we came up with a subject, how does this look?

[rhinostagros]

Looks good to me!

[tormado]

Alright, it's posted!
