PLOT ENGAGEMENT (ARCHIVED)

[larkers]

> PLOT ENGAGEMENT (ARCHIVED)

What is Plot Engagement and how does it work within Meadowlark? This is the page where players can come discuss with us how to facilitate plots within the setting. However, there will be occasions where a plot doesn't work within Meadowlark's world, and we'll suggest alternative routes. For small worldbuilding or gameplay details, please direct your question to the FAQ. If you're ever not sure if you're at the right page, don't worry—we'll help you get it sorted out. We know we have a load of info!

WHEN WILL YOU HEAR BACK?

◉ All Plot Engagement answers go out on Sunday, except during events.
◉ The deadline to submit a question and ensure you'll hear back from us on Sunday is 11:59 PM UTC on Saturday.

PLOT ENGAGEMENT INCLUDES

◉ Player plots! If you'd like your character to become a mafia boss, this is your place to start. Typically, this involves anything that could impact the setting or other player characters.
◉ Character career advancement that gives the character additional power or status within the setting.
◉ Metaplot exploration and information! We plan all events to give characters something to explore after the event ends. This is the place to do it!

SUBMISSION TIPS

◉ Specify what your character is looking for when they're investigating. What questions are they asking and what angle are they trying to explore?
◉ If you have a specific goal in mind but don't know how to reach it, please let us know.
◉ If you link a thread to us, please summarize it! That helps us process the plot in question.
◉ Don't worry about not knowing the setting like the back of your hand before you submit the plot—that's up to us! We're here to help you with any adjustments to get you on the right track.

NOTES & THINGS THAT YOU CAN HANDWAVE

◉ Characters always start out in entry level positions. Characters can update their skill sets to the 2512 standard through paid apprenticeships or internships.

◈ If a character is advancing within a major corporation (as noted on the Setting or Locations page) or one of its subsidiaries, we will need to approve this advancement.
◈ If a character becomes a supervisor at a local bar or other small business, we do not need to approve this advancement.

◉ Joining the police force within a city requires three months of IC training (six months OOC).
◉ We'll approve whether someone has social media fame, but we will not be providing social media follower counts. Once you have a plot for how to use those followers, that's where we step in!
◉ All Morningstar business goes on our Morningstar page. Please feel free to discuss specific plots here (including joining), and go there for signups and anything else.
◉ Characters getting jobs, finding apartments, participating in the fighting rings, getting married, making workplace friends, the creation of minor NPCs, etc. do not need to be run by us. Please let us know if these expand into player plots or other plot bits!

QUICK LINKS

◉ FAQ: For small worldbuilding or gameplay details.
◉ Setting: Our setting page! We'll update as needed.
◉ Jobs: A reference for who's working where!
◉ Locations: Both major and minor locations within New Amsterdam, as well as outlines for other megacities.

Hello, mods! Thank you so much for the clarification.

Shikki, Gaia, and I have talked about this a bit and hope that this works with what you had in mind:

The dognapping incident occurred on August 8th, with Damian carting her off to the safehouse so he wasn't leaving Dick by himself in there. Jason would show up and tell Gaby that he was the one fully responsible for the incident and that he was fully intending on just using Damian as a scapegoat for the whole thing. Obviously, this wouldn't stop Maeda from seeing Damian with the dog at all, but he'd want to make sure that, regardless of how it went down with whoever owned the dog, that Damian didn't have any part of it as far as Morningstar is concerned.

We'd like to time the fight itself for about August 20th ICly. This gives Maeda time to track them down, and gives Jason more time to heal up. Maeda's goons will find Jason and Damian heading back to their cruddy warehouse they're trying to lay claim to on the far side of the city, where Dick's waiting. The fight breaks out, Dick hears the commotion and jumps in to help resolve it. While they're all three pretty heavily trained, Damian is the best fighter of the three, with Dick a close second and Jason not too far behind--that'll become evident enough in the fight.

As their goal is to just hurt rather than kill or seriously injure, there won't be any murderous intent coming from any of the three boys; Jason and Damian fight a little. . harsher, don't hesitate to break bones but won't go for the killing blow as long as the fight itself isn't being directed that way. And they wouldn't go after Maeda herself, because that's clearly a Bad Idea just waiting to explode in their faces.

Damian would make sure to make some comment about how shit her goons are, because he's a snarky little shit. And literally offer to train them because clearly whoever is doing it isn't doing it good enough. And Jason wouldn't be far behind him.

Hi Tona!

Of the three samples, only the third one will come with any notable results. The first sample has inconclusive results, as it would not have been sampled quickly enough, and there would not be enough blood. The second result would show signs of an upsurge of white blood cells, but it would otherwise show signs similar to past tests with Connor. The third result will show signs of DNA that are similar to what Kylo Ren found in his test results.

1. Unfortunately Samir is not single, but in a happy and stable marriage with his two husbands. For future note, you can feel free to name any NPCs! For our NPC policies, please review our NPC section on the FAQ.

2. No, she would not have - even with emotional manipulation and encouragement, her firefighter friend would be reluctant to reveal this information, especially since everything he knows is hearsay.

[larkers]

Hi Kira!

1a. All photography is done through digital means, with the majority done through people's neural implants - literally using their eyes. Some cameras are available, but they are very expensive and their use really depends on what's being photographed.

1b. Given that everyone is accustomed to taking photos and sharing them on social media, freelancing is a rather cutthroat industry. That said, if someone has a good eye or is speedy in getting to the scene of a noteworthy event, it can land a fair bit of money. Otherwise, this would be an unlikely route for feeling fiscally secure.

2. As long as that someone shows some competence, they can approach various mechanics with the hope to become their apprentice. Just to note that this differs from previous questions here because there is a broad range of above board mechanics throughout the city, whereas a lot of previous interest was with criminal enterprises.

3. Some paper technically does exist, but it's kept in museums or private collections. Characters would be unable to find (or afford) any for personal use.

[larkers]

It would be best if Ciri contacted El for this so that they can discuss it! Unfortunately El cannot be directly messaged, so Ciri would need to ping zem to a network post in order to start this. If you decide to take this route, please just drop us a link to the post and El will tag in ASAP.

[larkers]

Hi again! Everything in this looks fine. Thanks for confirming with us!

[saviorexe]

Hello again! I’m back in here with a quick follow-up question regarding the fire. (And thank you for the previous reply, as well!)

Markus is making certain to not leave any potential leads uncovered, so he’d show an interest in looking into the apartment that had the carcasses of dead creatures stashed. Would questioning the neighbors, landlord, proprietor of the building, etc. lead to identifying who the individual who lived there was? And as a result, would this open up any avenue of contacts (or places of interest to explore) that Markus could follow up on?

He’s not quite sure if the connection between the nurse and the monster carcasses are coincidental or otherwise, so this would just be an attempt to see if either is the case.

[deicider]

Thank you!

Would there be anything in the realm of getting kids/low income students/whatever target population into STEM fields? Particularly geared toward the terraformation effort?

I assume volunteering with students would be even trickier with their job. Their advantages would be their charm ability, native charisma, and experience navigating the political charity scene. Back home, one of their siblings was involved in a sort of get kids into STEM/space terraforming thing, so they have whatever insight that exposure provides.

If that's not a viable path, they'll go for City Hall.

[mercurio]

thanks mods!

1a+b. i'm thinking i'll be asking for his camera on the item requests soon, but it's cool to know that they still exist! if/when he gets his camera: will this freelancing be in conjunction with the news/press industry in new amsterdam? what... is that like, actually, if paper isn't a commodity: like a news blog kind of deal?

2a. of course! i'm interested in getting prompto to become an apprentice for an electrical engineer for the train station(s?) actually, (DIFFERENT FROM MECHANIC, I KNOW..) for minimum wage. would this be a viable source of income? his apprenticeship would focus solely on the electrical aspect of transportation. these are some of the tasks i'm thinking line up with what he would be doing (adjusted to the setting where needed, of course).

2b. if that (^) gets the okay, would an electrician's job in new amsterdam be similar to what we know of it now? such as working with cables, computer parts, working in cramped spaced, indoors and outdoors, etc? or would there be any key features that are different?

3. kind of unrelated to paper (but kind of related?), what about board games? playing cards? or is it a "we can play online" type of scenario? would it be easy to find sheets of metal or some other material in order to 'create' his own physical board game?

4. what are the cops like in new amsterdam? are they friendly and approachable under the right circumstances, or are they very difficult to approach?

[forcevisions]

1. If a person were to lose their job as a result of the anger event, would it be difficult for them to secure different employment or would Morningstar be able to help install them elsewhere? I'm considering having Rey get fired because she went off on her boss.

2. What types of jobs are available through Giles Bell and would Morningstar be able to install someone there?

[evite]

this is a fairly quick question/ramble, and i hope it hasn't already been answered!

as far as i understand it, domesticated pets like cats & dogs are extremely rare in new amsterdam due to the high cost of ownership. however, as seen with the batkids' player plot, clearly some very wealthy and/or well-connected people are able to afford them.

here in the real world, it's been shown that interaction with animals (whether it be pets, therapy animals, or even just one-off interactions at places like shelters or cafes) can have a positive impact on people's mental health and general wellbeing. in new amsterdam, would there be anywhere for citizenry to go to interact with animals to have this kind of effect? i was thinking of something akin to either a cat cafe (where payment is required for something tangential, like a cup of coffee, but the animal interaction itself is free) or a petting zoo (where the animals are the main attraction and also the reason for payment)

follow-up: if these places do exist, what would be necessary to access them? would they be treated like tourist attractions, with possibly some high fee for entrance? or would they be treated as a "holistic" alternative to modern medicine, perhaps only accessible by medical referral and/or possible fees?

[stabilis]

Hi mods! One general question and one job route question:

1. Technology, hacking, etc - I wanted to check in and get an idea of how much Johnny's knowledge from his homeworld would map onto the tech here. It seems like it's at similar levels on the surface, but I don't want to assume anything and know there would still be an adjustment period. I wanted to get your take on what kind of timeline the learning would be on and how familiar (or unfamiliar) it should be.

In case you aren't familiar with Killjoys, some of the tech Johnny's had access to: medical nanotechnology, VR that can be used to 'access' memory and subconscious thought, mental and emotional manipulation using tech (probably like, sound waves or something?? idk scifi), etc. He does a ton of hacking and is accustomed to systems that use AI in the more traditional sense; advanced and capable of self-defense and complex decisions, but still just fancy programs. Otherwise, space travel is common and they've got programs for genetic experimentation/cloning, terraforming, almost teleportation (they can break stuff down and store it, can't send it anywhere). He isn't familiar with all of it, especially the super advanced stuff, but just to give you an idea for world comparison.

2. And job paths, sort of depending on the above! He'd want to get into higher end thievery, both of goods and information. Assuming he is able to learn some things quickly or improvise convincingly, this would apply to fancy tech (maybe wetworks stuff), or hacking/accessing info for clients. I'm a-okay with this being a long con situation, either because he needs to study up on the tech or because he'd have to build up a reputation (or both). Mostly wondering if it's feasible and worth working towards.

Thank you!

[retravel]

Hey lovely mods! I am here with far too many questions about older business and new stuff from team SHIELD and beyond:

1. Where can PCs learn about the “Venus riots” that El mentioned led to Morningstar’s naming? If Fitz looked online/through holocatalogues, would he find anything? Would Gaby and El be willing to tell him anything? He’d be persistent about wanting an overview of the historical context and Morningstar’s role in it, seeing as he’s keen to work with them to the fullest extent possible and understand what they stand for as an organisation.

2. Are Gaby and El open about being the PC’s handlers? IF Fitz asked them what sort of information and reports they file on the PCs to Morningstar, what would they be willing to share with him?

3. Fitz would also inquire as to what their initial intel on the PC human trafficking shipments was. It was mentioned IC that they thought it was a weapons transport and OOC in a response to Rey that Morningstar thought it was the UNA (though this seems less clear icly). If Fitz asks for the details now, what would they give him?

4. How is Casper doing? The fans (*human trafficking victims) want to know.

5. Backtracking to the Kaiju event, it was mentioned there was last a seismic event the September prior. Is there any information on this or the circumstances surrounding it?

6. RE: A fire/outbreak event tidbit — the vice president of sales at a Giles Bell pharmaceutical subsidiary demands that security shut down all exits to the building, insisting that everyone must remain inside to be searched — Is this information common knowledge? Was it rumored or reported on in any way? If not, would a certain lovable safety officer (Connor) be able to spy it among the flood of reports from the outbreak?

7. Can PC characters who weren’t at the scene of the apartment fire still attempt to join the NAFD? i.e. newer folks trying to get involved?

8. Fitz would invite Gaby and El to his birthday drinks because he’s a brownnoser and also #toosincere about how much they’ve helped everyone… How does that work out for him?

[evite]

hey mods! more questions for you, thanks in advance.

situation #1. there's been a pattern of data being wiped/erased in new amsterdam. things like the monster attack (which was technically prior to daisy's arrival, but she's been briefed on it since), the various PC dropoffs, and the nurse's identity are all coming to mind as fresh examples.

question(s):
— daisy currently works under a vyonation subsidiary assisting with digital security functionality. it is exceptionally weird for her to have it be acceptable in a data-driven society for data to disappear. though she would have the smarts to not mention morningstar's work or the nurse, if she were to ask her coworkers or her boss about data backup practices in the event of a breach, would they have any best practices or information to share?
— is information typically backed up in new amsterdam as a general rule, or is "information getting wiped" a supposed nonoccurence to the general population? would being concerned about such an event raise eyebrows or potentially mark daisy as a potential enemy of the state? (i admit the last one is a bit farfetched, possibly too many polsci thrillers watched lately)

situation #2. it's been queried (thanks, noctis!) as to whether or not the erased data might be archived or stored somewhere — cloud storage, for example, or an ancillary drive. daisy knows that data doesn't necessarily have to be physically backed up via a cable or thumb drive, but that in order for large amounts of information to be synced up, there generally speaking has to be some kind of material set-up to facilitate it.

she theorized that satellites may be in play, possibly on roof-level or higher than average citizenry would have reason to access. fitz & connor will be heading to lunar for a space holiday, and fitz has offered to keep an eye out if possible to see what kind of setup he can spot.

question(s):
— while aboard the spacecraft, will fitz and/or connor be able to spy anything recognizable (a satellite dish, for example, or other technical item) that could potentially be used in data transfer?
— if so, will they be able to tell with any amount of specificity where these items are (such as atop the oscorp tower or catty-corner to a billboard for a specific item)?
— and if they are able to verify location, would any of the PCs have the ability and/or credentials necessary to access them and potentially learn more about them?
— assuming they can, would there be any information physically present on these dishes or accessible via their neural implants or other commonly found tools that they could garner?

situation #3. daisy would like to find an organization in new amsterdam that can be of assistance in discovering information. while she appreciates what morningstar is working for and is willing to assist them with odd jobs as requested, she's not quite as devoted to them as her colleague fitz. she gets why they have to be secretive and under-the-radar, but that doesn't mean she likes it. so! she's been briefed about the new amsterdam associated press and how they hosted video of the monster attack (even if it was later scrubbed), and she thinks this organization might be a good place to align with in looking for the light seeping through the cracks.

question(s):
— if daisy were to approach the new amsterdam associated press, would she be able to speak to someone in charge of hiring? if so, would it be an immediate "walk in and chat" or would she need to play the waiting game (ie sitting in the lobby until they were willing to talk to her, or alternatively having to schedule an appointment)
— would they be willing to hire her on? she would present her credentials as experienced in investigative journalism, but more urgently highlight her own desire to uncover the truth behind the "weird stuff happening in the city lately". earthquakes and monster attacks and sudden raging infernos don't seem to fit the narrative of a supercity with its shit together, if the editor in chief knows what she means, and she'd like to find out more about what's going on. she imagines they'd like to know too, if only to sell more "papers".
— if they are willing to take her on (she expects a freelance gig as opposed to a permanent staff position), what sorts of access would she gain in this way? as a member of the press, her expectation would be to be able to ask official questions to various businesses and organizations, to have a "legitimate reason" to stake out buildings or people, and to have access to areas she might not normally be expected to go. if asked by a police officer what she was doing in a seedy area late at night, for example, she could tell them she was investigating a lead in a story and present her press badge. does this seem reasonable?

Hi mods! I've got a few questions for you.

1. After talking to Clarke, Loki's going to follow up in looking for monster parts on the black market. He'll start by trying to collect some information from the gambling dens and fighting rings. If needed, he'll appeal to El or Gaby for a little help in trying to remain as low as possible without being identified, especially if exchange of credits is involved. He'll be looking for who is selling them, what parts of the monster they are selling, and the price ranges that they're being sold for. I can follow up depending on how these are answered!
   
   
2. Thanks for your answers about the caves! I was wondering if I could get a few more details about them. This is a little more specific to Loki, so let me know if you'd like me to keep these questions here or follow up on the FAQ again: Does the cave system also link up to some of the other corporate buildings on the lower levels? Are the caves that are off-limits accessible (as in, is it a sign, or are they actively closed off, and if they are, can Loki squeeze in)?
   
   
3. It's been a long time since the AI War and the Elysian uprising, is there any UN/government monitoring to ensure that potentially complex AI programs are not made with the same algorithm that leans toward self-awareness? Loki would be looking into anything surrounding how AIs are currently dealt with, including restrictions, tests, and what may potentially lead them toward what would be considered self-aware.
   
   
4. Is it possible for Jughead to get an internship at the New Amsterdam Associated Press as he begins his education in journalism? He'd be looking into other places that might take him to begin to build up his reputation/resume.

Thanks mods!

[larkers]

Hi Tifa! Thanks for the questions.

1. Given the widespread nature of the event, it would be unusual for anyone to be fired over it, though of course there may have been specific scenarios that warrant it - someone venting years' worth of resentment, or getting particularly personal in a verbal attack on their boss. However, it definitely wouldn't stand as a valid reason for a prospective employer to refuse an application!

That said, Morningstar doesn't install anyone in jobs. They are willing to cook up credentials, but unless someone is an agent, they aren't able to go above and beyond to put someone in any position. El and Gaby can help her find job postings, but she will have to do the legwork herself!

2. Due to this, Morningstar wouldn't be able to install Rey at Giles Bell. That wouldn't prevent her getting a job there herself. As one of the largest corporations based in New Amsterdam, Giles Bell have many, many different roles available. What kinds of jobs are you interested in for Rey?

[larkers]

Hi Jenna! Thanks for the questions.

There are no zoos (petting or otherwise) available in New Amsterdam. There are also no cat cafes. While there would be an interest in these kinds of businesses - many people in the Meadowlark world never physically see many animals - they would be exorbitantly expensive to manage due to the high cost of real estate and food suitable for the animals. To stay in the black, the fees these businesses would have to charge would only be affordable to the very rich - who would just purchase pets to keep themselves.

While it's not a complete substitute for the real thing, many people turn to VR for animal interaction, and studies in the Meadowlark world have found that this does have many of the positive impacts we experience from keeping pets in current times!

[larkers]

Hi Jen!

Firstly Markus would need to find out which apartment the remains of the carcasses were found in. The easiest way to do this would be for him to liaise with Bobbi Morse to see if she can find this information out from her contact at the NAFD. Once he knows which apartment, he'll be able to question others - AJJ Holdings will be tight-lipped, but if he tracks down any neighbors they'll be able to give him some building gossip. Most will consider them a perfectly normal young couple, with no outward signs of any unpleasant behavior, though one neighbor will recall passing them on the way out a few months back, excited and very smartly dressed, on their way to a reproduction application hearing. Another will remark that they'd been very quiet neighbors until recently, when they'd been having an increasing amount of arguments.

Unfortunately neither of the couple survived the fire, so there would be no direct contacts or avenues to follow up on, unless Markus wanted to dig deeper into their backgrounds.

[larkers]

Hi Leigh!

There are absolutely programs like that! Sniper would be able to volunteer for them, though the people leading the program would need reassurance that they would keep their volunteer work separate from their "day job," so to speak.

[larkers]

Hi Kira!

1. Freelancing could be for news/press, or it could be for other publications, or even research projects. For news/press, it would be like how CNN.com or BBC.com works these days! However, we do want to be clear on two points: 1) freelancing would be a very, very difficult line of work due to saturation of the market, and 2) news/press publications will not accept camera photographs, and would consider it incredibly strange if Prompto attempted to sell any to them.

2a&b. All of this sounds like a viable path for employment, and if Prompto proves more than capable, he would be able to make more than minimum wage as an apprentice. A lot of the things you described are similar, but more advanced, given the nature of the world! There are also only two train lines in New Amsterdam, so he would definitely need to prove his worth to gain and keep a job there.

3. Yes, all board games would be digital as well! Prompto would be able to find materials to construct a physical game, but if he attempted to play this with any New Amsterdam natives, they would consider it incredibly strange.

4. Like in most cities, the cops vary. Some are good and some are bad, especially depending on the person who's choosing to approach them and the reason why! They aren't militant, however; that kind of mindset is typically attributed to the UNA, who are unreachable by the populace and rather intimidating on sight.

[deicider]

Hi mods!!!

Sniper's going to add some more volunteering to their plate, pitching in to whatever organization is bringing supplies to the those in tents due to the monster attack. They have a few goals with this.


1. Collecting rumors - specifically, they want to know what the word on the street is in regards to where the monster came from. This goes for social media as well. Sorry if this has been covered elsewhere.

2. Rumor engineering! They have two goals with this
A. Foment unrest, possibly even rioting. They're not going to be on a soap box anywhere, but they're good at manipulating situations. Partially they want to pull heat/police power off the investigation into who cured the remaining plague victims, but mostly they just want to rock the boat, and encourage tensions about economic disparity and governmental negligence.
B. Plant Rumors that Giles-Bell is responsible for the monster. Obviously they have no idea if this is true or not. If public opinion is such that this rumor wouldn't take off at all, I'll change this to something more workable. They know Giles-Bell is involved in the kaiju's corpse, and they hope public pressure will help shed light on why.


And finally, unrelated to all the above,
3. They want to know if there any any rumors floating around specifically in the sex worker community about drugs that enforce obedience. Was there anything on the market prior to game start that could enforce total or partial obedience? Anything new? Which establishments are peddling it as a service? They work in the brothel so they'll just be following leads form their boss/coworkers.

[fessus]

Hello, mods!

Two quick things: per Fitz's suggestion and pestering, Noctis is 1) interested in joining Morningstar with plans to seek out El to chat about the details, and 2) interested in joining the NAFD to help dig up more info on the ongoing fire investigations.

I'm happy to handwave the IC interaction with El to lighten the load around the holidays, but I'm curious what he might learn from getting in on the inside with the department. Also, for newbies joining the NAFD, would this be a paid or volunteer position?

Thanks so much!

[deployed]

hey mods, i'm on hiatus so there's no rush on this answer, i just had a couple questions kicking around that i wanted to toss your way.

assuming bellamy entered the trainee program of the police force after the monster attack, can i assume he's made it through the academy and gone on to field training by now? if he has, how much access does he have to databases and police reports that have been filed? would it be possible for him to work on getting close enough with someone to have them run some searches for him?

also, if he were to prod other officers and first responders in the course of casual conversation about experience on the job and any weird cases or disappearances in their memory that they'd worked on, would he come up with anything resembling the situation with the nurse? would he be able to get in contact with any of the police officers who were on site on the night of the fire/find out if there was any investigation picked up by the police department?

[forcevisions]

Whoops sorry for the misunderstanding about Morningstar and their job help. Thanks for clearing it up.

Rey would be looking in the realm of mechanical work — robotics, shuttlecraft, stuff like that. She can't do complex/high level engineering because she doesn't have the theoretical math background obviously, but anything application-based — if Giles Bell has any involvement in producing or operating stuff like that.

[larkers]

Hi Melissa! Thanks for the questions.

1. You're right that he would have to begin to make efforts to figure out what the differences are between his world and Meadowlark's in order to understand the different directions technology took! Given that hacking itself would lead to him running into some digital security issues, he would have to perform some trial and error and train himself out of assuming that a problem requires one solution, when in fact it may require another.

We think that the timeline involved with this would take a solid month or two (IC time), depending on the amount of time that Johnny will be putting into it, and what problems you may want him to encounter. We're willing to work with you to help figure out what problems he may run into if you're interested! There are also hackers in the world who would be very interested in Johnny's unique approach, as some of his world's advancements would, at times, allow him to bypass some security that's in place. Having this unique perspective would help accelerate his knowledge and training.

2. With regards to a job, he may need to start in digital security - Vyonation's subsidiaries specialize in this - before trying to reach out for less legitimate means of employment. If he gets in with the hacker circle in New Amsterdam, this will provide more outlets for him to prove himself, especially once he gets a handle on the different coding and systems in place in the world, and show that his unique approach can be valued.

There are numerous corporations who would appreciate this, and are likely to turn toward these circles for assistance. If Johnny shows that his approach is unlikely to be traced and tracked by this world's technologies, he could be called upon more and more. But he will need to go through his paces, learn the world's technology, and progress from there.
