What is up gamers! Sadly, the last time I use this website was about a year ago. I've only ever contributed one RPC to this website, but recently I've regained my fascination with the mysterious and paranormal. My first and only ever RPC is 488, and while I think the idea is fine, it didn't receive the best ratings. I'd like to think my writing capabilities have greatly improved since I last came here, and I'd like to clean up my past work before I start broadening my horizons.
In short, I want to improve my RPC, and I'd like some feedback to make this work. I feel like my RPC never had a good twist ending that makes the whole article click, and after talking to some anons on 4chan's /x/ board, I've come up with something that I like.
For those that aren't aware, which is probably most of you, RPC 488 is a stereo that broadcasts information regarding natural disasters and coordinated attacks several hours before they are carried out. The Authority then gathers this information, and sells it to any Government that is willing to make a deal. The whole article is meant to explain a faucet of the Authority's seemingly infinite funds, and also make the reader wonder if The Authority is acting within their moral parameters by holding innocent people's lives hostage for cash.
For my new idea, the Authority will discover that RPC 488 isn't just predicting events, but directly causing them. Because of this, I want to put an updated version of the article explaining the new containment procedures, and how the Authority came to recognize the true nature of the Anomaly. I have run into a few problems though. I really want the reader to look at the original explanation first, but I realize that it wouldn't make sense from the perspective of an actual organization documenting Anomalies. Realistically, the updated document would be at the top of the page, with the previous one in a footnote on the bottom. But for the sake of story telling, it would be beneficial for this to be reversed. So what I'm trying to ask here, should I format it for the sake of good story telling, or for realism?
Additionally, I'm not sure what object class I should prescribe to RPC 488. I'm thinking Beta-Purple, because the anomaly needs maintenance to contain, and it also causes widespread destruction and mayhem. However, I also feel like this rating is far too high. Does anybody have any advice on what object class it should be? I'm willing to provide more information if it leads to a more accurate answer.
Thanks!
