ONGOING EVENT

WHAT IS[break]THE RKS SIMULATION?

TEAM ROCKET DISCOVERS THAT THE SEAL STONE procured from Ultra Deep Sea is able to allow trainers to explore a simulated universe. Through careful or reckless choices, trainers and their Pokemon can experience scenarios that explore the cosmology of the universe, past and future events, and more...[break][break]

Your characters will encounter scenario after scenario in non-sequitur fashion due to how the simulated universe forces your scenario to shift after some time. Leaving the simulated universe can only be done through one of two ways: simulated death or reaching the end of the RKS Simulation's session time.[break][break][break][break]

PATCH LOG

12/11/2023[break]

SPOILER: Click to show

AFTER THE EVENTS OF RESURFACED TREASURES, the League has acquired a SEAL STONE. The Seal Stone has allowed them to build an "RKS Simulation" of their own. The League has offered its citizens a chance to explore the simulation like a university asking for volunteers in psychological studies. The more data that is collected, the better.[break][break]

However, TEAM ROCKET has the upper-hand. Having run through the simulation many times, they encounter a glitch (or is it purposeful?) in the system. They encounter a scenario involving what seems to be the whereabouts of Arceus...[break][break]

Lastly, the SCARLET & VIOLET BOOKS are found to function similarly to Seal Stones. When inserted into the Simulation Machine like a game cartridge, they provide a new update of possible scenarios pulled from the universe...

[break][break]

09/10/2024[break]
RECENT ANOMALIES INVOLVING Shred and june sleigh's acquisition of the paradoxical dragons have caused the RKS Simulation to update erratically. Now, those who venture into the simulation's SCARLET or VIOLET BOOK routes will find that their scenarios have now "merged" together.[break][break]

Even more surprisingly, those who enter the simulation may encounter those accessing it from the opposite faction...[break][break]

• Esse Est Percipi has been updated to 2.5. New scenarios include "Secret Base", "Delivery Dragonite", "Bill", "Blacephalon", and "Dyna Tree". More may be added soon.
[break]

• Scarlet/Violet Book has been merged together. League and Rocket characters can thread together in this route.
[break]

• New scenarios for the Scarlet/Violet Book path include "Partner", "Darkrai", "Enamorus" and "Duel". More may be added very soon.

ESSE EST PERCIPI 2.5

TEAM ROCKET HAS PROCURED THE FIRST SEAL STONE. In doing so, they've uncovered a SIMULATED UNIVERSE extracted from the stone's "data". This chapter explores a myriad of scenarios, including those that illuminate in part, the relationship between ARCEUS and the DRK TRIAD.[break][break]

This patch is now accessible to both LEAGUE & TEAM ROCKET. The latter has an exclusive stage that can not be selected by League characters.

SCARLET/VIOLET BOOK[break][break]
(LEAGUE & ROCKET)

STAGE ONE - choose one scenario:[break]
*PARTNER | FUTURE CYCLIZAR | PAST CYCLIZAR | SCREAM TAIL | IRON TREADS | GYM LEADER[break][break]

EXTRACTION[break](RKS SPIN-OFF)

THE LEAGUE REACHES THE DEEPEST EXTREMITIES OF ULTRA DEEP SEA. The realm is revealed to be the innards of a gargantuan ETERNATUS, but it is uncertain whether this creature is from this universe or another's...[break][break]

Knowledge gained from the events of GOODBYE GALAR have allowed researchers to begin developing ways to introduce DYNAMAXING into the Hoenn region. However, in order for this to happen, materials imbued with DYNAMAX ENERGY must first be harvested from the ETERNATUS itself.[break][break]

However, the operation is dangerous. Usable materials can only be harvested by the ETERNATUS' CORE in the deepest part of the realm. Here, paranoia and hallucinations caused by the space-distorting energies of DYNAMAX threaten your trainers' well-beings. To further complicate matters, POISON TERA CRYSTALS have begun forming within the ETERNATUS' BODY as well...[break][break]

UPDATE: Extraction has now expanded to include locations involving AUTHENTIC POWER SPOTS. Team Rocket characters may also participate in ULTRA DEEP SEA prompts by way of Terastal Caverns connecting to Granite Cave. However, do note that this operation would be risky or heavily hindered due to the League's stronghold on mining operations within ULTRA DEEP SEA.

STAGE ONE:[break]
Please note, if you pick ULTRA DEEP SEA'S (UDS) PROMPTS, you can not move into a POWER SPOT prompt for they are different scenarios. Please stick to the "left" or "right" columns.[break][break]

UDS: PREPARATION | POWER SPOT: DESCEND

STAGE TWO:[break]
UDS: COMFORTING | POWER SPOT: VENTURE

STAGE THREE:[break]
UDS: CONDEMNING | POWER SPOT: OBSTACLE

STAGE FOUR:[break]
UDS: CONTROLLING | POWER SPOT: DEPARTURE

CURIO COMPENDIUM

THROUGHOUT YOUR ADVENTURES IN THE SIMULATED UNIVERSE, your characters will be able to obtain simulated "curios", rare and unusual objects that are known or rumored to exist in the world. These are not physical items. However, your characters can peruse their data freely in or outside of the simulation.[break][break]

Curiously, the descriptions for each curio seem to be written by The DRK Triad.[break][break]

Throughout your adventures in The RKS Simulation, you may earn CURIOS depending on your choices. However, you can only earn 3 CURIOS PER THREAD. At the end of each RKS thread, you can select ONE CURIO, which is included in the total three curios you can receive.[break][break]

To select a curio, use the following link. You can select any curio, unless specified otherwise in the RKS Simulation thread:

🟣🟡 RKS CURIOS[break][break]

🟣🟡EXTRACTION CURIOS
