Ok I have written out a basic storyline for a large-scale RP I'm working on. The story centers around my character, Lasal, a Nanomage NT who finds himself on the wrong side of a secretive sect that seeks the death of All nanomages, the destruction of Notum, and the destruction of all nanotechnology. Sort of an Anti-NLF if you will.
ALL are welcome, on ANY character, to join in, (mind there are a few events that are set, but there is no clear indication as to how one must get there), this story will only consist of REAL characters in-game, as it will be played out there, and written down In the thread where i've been posting the story in the CGI Forums (Conspiracy Group, Inc, address is CGI.FORUM5.COM, under series, Control Phreak) after-the-fact. I also though need some fresh faces to fill out the ranks of this secretive sect, you may create a new character, but heres some character rules for the bad guys (the anti-NLF sorta):
They MUST hate Nanomages, nanotech, and notum in general
They MUST not be nanomage
The MUST be Notum repulsors (if your froob and cant get this perk you can just fake it by not using nanos)
they MUST not be a nano-dependent profession
Prefered not to be an engineered breed (Atrox, opi,) but they can be allowed.
Heres Chapter one btw:

"Control Phreak
Part 1:

Chapter 2:
A minor mismalfunction.
Thursday, June 27
I awoke at 8:00 AM sharp as I always did on that fateful day. I rose, proceeded to the bathroom, washed, and by 8:15 i was dressing into my lab clothes. I had a relaxing breakfast in my usual style, and then proceeded to leave my Jobe luxury apartment to begin the long walk to my Lab in Omni-1 Trade.
Upon Arriving at my lab, however, it became immediately apparent something was wrong. The security door that prevented unauthorized access to my lab hung loosely from a single bolt, having been simply ripped from its place and tossed aside. I hesitantly entered the lab, steeling myself against whatever might have caused such damage. SARA greeted me as i entered, but her voice changed constantly from the omni-standard cool female voice to the system default, which was a low male voice. "Good MORning Dr. Gerrick" said she as her holographic image flickered into view before me.
"For the sake of Ka what has happened?" I asked stunned, looking around. The lab itself had been devastated. Broken equipment or pieces of equipment lay scattered around in every direction, windows had been broken, and not a single object had been spared. The computerized Image of the female opifex flickered for a moment as her system attempted to process the information. "Error. User Query Denied. The subsystems necesary for your query may have been damaged or destroyed. "
My mind was reeling from this blow. A search of the lab revealed that indeed, naught had been spared the savage destruction at the hands of the vandals which had caused this. Running to my vaults I found a sight which made my heart stop.
The Vault doors were gone.
And so was everything in the Vault.
No remains, no marks that may hint at they're passing, nothing. Seven tons of pure carbon crystal simply gone. As i stood there in the doorway of my Vault, I heard my wrist datapad begin to beep, and its environmental hazard warning sounded. "Warning: Radiation levels Detected. Please exit the area." Turning, i sought to leave the lab until i had contracted a crew to clean and decontaminate it, I was stopped by another warning from my datapad, followed by a dizzy sensation. "Warning: Notum Feild Fluctuation detected. Vital signs are dropping."
This warning became louder and louder as it continued, or at least it was supposed to have. To me it only got softer and softer, but this may have been due to my weakening body. I turned to make for the door before i became incapacitated by a lack of notum when my feet simply froze, and my head swam. My vision blurred, and i collapsed to my hands and knees, trying desperately to crawl away. My Wrist datapad issued the final warning i heard. "Warning. Notum Void zone detected. Vital Signs dropping. Activating emergency beacon...." I collapsed and tried to roll over. As my vision blurred and faded to black, I could swear i saw the outline of a man standing over me. Then my eyes rolled into the back of my head and i knew no more.
My Next Conscious memory was of voices speaking above me. I could not yet see or move, so weak was I, but I could hear they're words nonetheless.
"He's lucky to be alive" Said a deep, male voice in a concerned tone.
"Alive? He'll be lucky to escape without brain damage, the poor dear." Said another voice, this one a light female voice, presumably nanobreed.
"Aye, but I'm more interested in knowing how in the name of Ka this happened. We found him in a dumpster, deprived of notum. The dumpster had notum void field projectors attacked to it. Now who in the name of the goddess puts notum void field projectors on a dumpster?" Said a gruff Male voice.
"Im not sure I take your meaning doctor," said the female voice, "but I think he's returning to consciousness."
"Aye, brain activity levels have rose." said the gruff male voice
"have *risen* Doctor." said the female voice
"Aye, that." came the gruff voice again.
My first thought at this point was 'Oh WONDERFUL. I'm being cared for by a moron.' My second, however, was much more curious. Who DOES put Notum Void Field projectors in a dumpster, and how did I end up there in the first place?
My strength at this point had returned to me, so I opened my eyes and looked around. I appeared to be in a hospital containment room, with three people standing nearby checking my vitals. One was a young female nanomage, whom i can only assess as belonging to the light female voice. Another was a Solitus with a beard and a lab coat. I could only assume he was the source of the gruff voice. The fourth was a smiling young man in a lab coat, who i could only assume to be the source of the deep voice. I assumed these to be the medical staff assigned to me.
"Ah, so your awake, Mr. Gerrick." Said the young man.
"I seem to be, yes." I replied quietly, my voice slightly hoarse.
I then attempted to stand up, when the female nanomage (the nurse, i assume) rushed over and stopped me.
"Not so fast sir, you've been through a lot dear, and you'll need time to recooperate."
I insisted myself to be fine, and struggled to my feet.
"Where am I?" I queried.
"Rome Green Medical Facility. We found you in a dumpster in Omni-1, deprived of Notum. Do you have any Idea how you came to be there?" Said the bearded solitus.
"None. Last i remember I was inspecting what was left of my lab, when my datapad went off telling me there was a notum void... then..." I stopped, as i remembered the figure of the man standing over me. Something about the whole situation seemed off, like someone had DELIBERATELY tried to kill me....
"Sir you must be delusional. There are no labs in the area where you were found, and its impossible for you to have been moved from the closest lab in the area without you dieing. Are you sure perhaps you didn't fall in?" the nurse said with a kind smile that told me she thought me to be crazy.
"I'm quite sure I-" I was cut off in mid speech by a commotion outside the door. Heated voices could be heard beyond.
"No you can't come in here! Stop before I call Omni-Pol!" said a male voice, with great dismay.
"I am Omni-Pol Citizen, out of the way." A sharp, but somewhat rough male voice shot back.
"I have seen no ID! No! you must stop thats a sealed room!" The other voice squeaked in dismay
"You see this? This is my ID! now shove off before I throw you into a cell for obstructing an officer!" The rough voice returned with just a hint of anger.
"You still can't bring HIM in!" the other voice squeaked again, his voice getting tinier and tinier, as the person became more and more timid.
"I'll do what i wish and you'll not Argue with an officer!" The rough voice roared back.
The small voice finally squeaked in acceptance, and the door burst open. A rather rough-looking Solitus in an Omni-Pol Combat uniform carrying an alarmingly large weapon came bursting into the room, followed by a tall, quiet nanomage in a crisp suit carrying a briefcase.
"you, you, and you, Out, Now." the Solitus said to my attendants.
They hurried out of the room and the Solitus Closed the door behind them. He then stood by the door, as if listening intently. The nanomage Straightened his suit while his companion listened. After a few minutes, the Solitus took his ear from the door and said, "Alright Boss, I think we're good."
"Excelent work Mr. Sal. Perhaps you should introduce yourself first." Said the nanomage, a smile curling itself around his lips.
"Yes boss"
The Solitus rounded on me, and i felt a twinge of fear.
"My name is Investigator Jonathan Salivice Bixby, Independent Investigator for Omni-Pol, and loyal member of Conspiracy Group, Inc." He said, his blue eyes looking at me piercingly.
"And my Name is Brett "Ottokarma" Wittbrodt, President of Conspiracy Group, Inc." Said the nanomage, a heavy Germanic accent painfully obvious in his speech.
"But you may call me Otto, if you wish." He said further.
"And you can call me Sal, or Salivice." Said the man with the Gun.
"Hush Mr. Sal."
"Yes Boss."
"Now you, my dear freind, have gotten yourself into a very deep load of trouble with some very dangerous people" said Otto, as a smile worked its way even further onto his lips.
Tune in for chapter Three."
