MMORPG: Genesis

Increased Sync Rate

"Repeating our top stories tonight."

"The human race has been all the talk of Atlantia this night as they first received a huge boon from Blue Ice Queen before Tia made a Racial Punishment Announcement against them." 

"Earlier tonight the most famous human female player at present, Blue Ice Queen successfully achieved something that no one had even heard was possible." 

"She officially became the first player in one hundred and twelve years since Genesis launched to achieve a race change." 

"As previously mentioned, this was something no one knew anything about, or at least if anyone did, they were keeping very tight lipped about it." 

"As to what race she has changed into we can only guess." 

"Is she changing into one of the player races like elves or fairies? Or is this for a completely different race, we have no idea, but rest assured our reporters and informants are looking into this to try and find any clue as we speak." 

"This monumental achievement increased Blue Ice Queen's already great fame even higher and for a time she was the only thing anyone could talk about, something we are sure is making Silver Serpent regret his recent choices." 

"As for the Racial Punishment Announcement that was made against the human race, it has already been confirmed that the human army led by General Vimes secretly entered Dawnscape City eight to ten hours prior to Tia's announcement." 

"This means that Tia apparently informed the human leader Empress Alexia Bristle prior to the public announcement in order for the Empress to get people in place to apprehend the wanted individuals." 

"Once the announcement was made General Vimes ordered the soldiers to move on their selected targets and we are led to believe that over a thousand individuals have been arrested and transported to a prebuilt detention facility in the nearby forest." 

"These individuals include all the current government officials of Dawnscape City including the mayor, students in the final year as well as all the teachers of Dawnscape City High School." 

"Additionally, we are led to believe that general Vimes himself led a team to the home of one Malcolm Thomas and his family before forcing entry and apprehending Malcolm Thomas and his son Dean Thomas." 

"Malcolm Thomas is in charge of a successful mine in Genesis that is owned by the Dawnscape guild which is Dawnscape City's official guild." 

"As to why General Vimes himself felt the need to go to this particular location we are not sure however we can hazard a guess." 

"According to Tia's announcement there was a main culprit behind the actions taken against the individual who Dawnscape City council and a school mistreated." 

"If we take this into account and also the fact that the teachers and students of the final year at Dawnscape High School were also detained and taken away we can assume that the individual attended this school." 

"We have also learned that Dean Thomas, one of the two taken away by General Vimes was in his final year at Dawnscape High School, therefore we can guess that Dean Thomas is the main perpetrator behind the Racial Punishment Announcement that has lost the human race Stone-mist Castle." 

"Also considering that when we asked Tia regarding all this information, she did not say that any of it was wrong we can assume it is correct, as I am sure everyone knows that the Genesis News Channels only report on information Tia has confirmed or not informed us of being incorrect." 

"We have also received information that in the human race's capital, Eclipse City Minister Dawn who is the current minister in charge of the region around Dawnscape City and his predecessor former Minister Marcus were both arrested and transported to a detention facility." 

"Regarding Stone-mist Castle, as can be expected and understandably the rest of the human race is in uproar regarding this and is also out for justice." 

"Not just the loss of Stone-mist Castle but also the fact that Tia temporarily lifted the restriction on the use of force without due cause for military and security personnel shows how serious and angry she was regarding this issue." 

"As I'm sure all our viewers know, the restriction on the use of force without due cause has only been lifted once before in the past one hundred and twelve years." 

"For now, we cannot give you any more definitive information but rest assured that our reporters and informants are working hard to find out the truth for you." 

At this point the presenter on the TV started the report over again so with a sigh John said. 

"Holo off" and the hologram projector shut down. 

John turned around and went towards where Thasinia was to see that she was studying some numbers but turned towards him when she sensed his presence. 

"Rather crazy right?" She asked with a smile, to which John only shrugged and sighed. 

Seeing that he was not in the mood to talk about Thasinia changed the subject. 

"So, the report on the MK 0 just came in from Tia and also the test's I just performed, and I must say that I have outdone myself this time." 

John rolled his eyes at the elf scientist before she chuckled and continued. 

"I myself have confirmed that the MK 0 is still in perfect working order with no flaws whatsoever in it and that its durability has indeed increased slightly as expected of Mithrillium." 

"Now as for Tia's results of the sync level this is actually better than expected and rather surprising." 

"Remember how I told you that other Mithrillium products have a ninety-three percent successful transfer, five percent absorbed and two percent loss rate?" 

"I do." John said, nodding. 

"Well Tia has confirmed that the sync rate is indeed ninety-three percent like we predicted, while I confirmed that the absorbed rate is five percent with a two percent loss rate." Thasinia smiled, making John curious and ask. 

"That's better how? Is that not what was expected." 

"Indeed, what makes it better than expected and rather surprising is that during your time in Genesis the sync rate actually increased by point zero zero one while the loss rate reduced by point zero zero one." 

"This means that as you play Genesis more your sync rate will only improve and the distance between you and everyone else that is already thirteen percent better will only get wider and wider."
