Commander [HavenLeaderSurname] does not think her situation is funny. "Real lives are being lost!" she screams. But that's the cost of trying to return to the past instead of adapting to the present. The Disciples of Anu would've turned the ducks into a source of pre-cooked food.

The officers of [HavenName], led by Commander [HavenLeaderSurname], have a bold new project they'd like our operatives to participate in: a poker tournament.

"Folks, we need some goddamned R&R," Commander [HavenLeaderSurname] says. "If we keep going like this, we're gonna forget what makes us human. And humans need to play. So how about it? You in?"

We've made contact with Commander [HavenLeaderSurname], who runs this haven on behalf of New Jericho. She is asking for our assistance, in the form of medical supplies and expertise.
 +
 +
===Provide medical assistance to [HavenName] (-15 Tech)===

[HavenLeader] is extremely grateful for the medical assistance that our operatives have provided. Our team believes that in a week or two, the population will recover from the outbreak and everything will be back to normal.

 +
 +
Our operatives have been approached by a New Jericho deserter from [HavenName].
 +
 +
"All I want is a way out," he says, "and a little something to help me start a new life somewhere else - with the Disciples, maybe. I can pay you with some research data that... accidentally found its way to my system. I'm sure you'll find it very interesting."

The deserter gladly hands over the stolen data as soon as he's out of [HavenName]. The moment he's out of the haven he seems lighter, happier, like a man feeling free for the very first time.

 +
Conditions: Haven Leader's attitude to the Phoenix Project is more than 0, [[New Jericho]]'s attitude to [[Phoenix Project]] is between -25 and +25.
 +
 +
At [HavenName], a Tobias West speech is being broadcast. West is explaining New Jericho's concept of loyalty: "Our loyalty is to the Earth. The Earth that was, the true Earth, with its systems of competition and evolution, and the apex of those processes - Homo sapiens, the rational animal that thrives in freedom."
 +
 +
"To stand against the invaders, against the corruption of that system, is what brings us together. It is an idea rooted in history and biology, giving birth to a voluntary community under a leader whose sole purpose is to build a future where all that is strong and good will flourish, and all that is weak and corrupt will wither, the way it has always been on this Earth."
 +
 +
===Argue that West is wrong to think humanity has reached its apex===
 +
"And what do you think the real apex is? Growing a tentacle out of your butt? No thanks," one of the locals retorts. Nevertheless, some people here seem to think that maybe humanity has further to go, even if they're afraid to say so openly.

===Argue that West is wrong for thinking a voluntary community needs a leader===

This idea seems disturbing in a way the locals can't quite articulate, and our operatives are told to be quiet.

==Misty Days==
 +
Conditions: Haven is in Mist.
 +
 +
[HavenName] is surrounded by a white, cloudy sea, and people are terrified. Everyone living here has lost someone they loved to the Pandoravirus, and they all have vivid memories of what happened last time the Mist rolled across the land. Defenses are holding, but an undercurrent of panic is beginning to spread.
 +
 +
===Share stories of Phoenix Project victories===
 +
It's almost like sharing stories around a fire at night - a communal experience that somehow gives everyone strength. Knowing that the Phoenix Project has succeeded before is reassuring, and the people of [HavenName] are reminded that being New Jericho is all about fighting back.

===Tell them only the Exalted can save them===
 +
Conditions: [[Disciples of Anu]]'s attitude to [[Phoenix Project]] is more than 0.
 +
 +
To most people in [HavenName], the Exalted is a monster, something like a dragon from a fairy-tale. The idea that she could help them seems crazy. But there are those who, faced with the reality of the Mist, see the point of trying to adapt.
 +
 +
One assault soldier joins the Phoenix Project.

===Tell them only Synedrion has the kind of technology that could beat back the Mist===
 +
Conditions: [[Synedrion]]'s attitude to [[Phoenix Project]] is more than 0.

It's not what any of them wanted to hear, but the truth few are willing to admit is that it sounds believable. After all, what can New Jericho really do about the Mist? Shoot at it?

Events that can happen when you visit faction Haven for the first time. Havens that you never visited are marked with a blue question mark on Geoscape.

Contents

And Taking Names

Conditions: Haven Leader's attitude to the Phoenix Project is more than 50. New Jericho's attitude to Phoenix Project is more than 50.

Our operatives have arrived at [HavenName], a haven controlled by New Jericho. Commander [HavenLeader] welcomes them in person and orders her soldiers to immediately start loading several crates of supplies onto the [AircraftName].

"Nothing's too good for our friends!" she says, patting one of our operatives on the back hard enough to send them staggering.

Accept the contribution

"Hah! Excellent! The stronger the Phoenix Project gets, the stronger we all get," Commander [HavenLeaderSurname] grins. "Keep kicking Pandoran ass and we'll get along just fine."

Reject the contribution

Commander [HavenLeaderSurname] orders her soldiers to stop. With a cold stare and a shrug, she leaves the landing area.

Anywhere But Here

Conditions: Haven Leader's attitude to the Phoenix Project is less than -25.

At [HavenName], our operatives are contacted by a scientist who needs their help to escape the haven.

"I have to get out of here," she says. "I don't feel safe anymore. I opened my big mouth a few times too many, questioned Harlson's methods too openly... does Tobias West even know what goes on in his organization? I don't know and I don't care anymore. I just need to go somewhere else. Anywhere's fine by me. Please. I'll pay you."

Help her join Synedrion

Our operatives have successfully helped the woman escape [HavenName]. She'll be joining Synedrion, which won't exactly please New Jericho, but how could we abandon a person under such circumstances?

Help her join the Disciples of Anu

Our operatives have successfully helped the woman escape [HavenName]. She'll be joining the Disciples of Anu, which won't exactly please New Jericho, but how could we abandon a person under such circumstances?

Don't help her

The Phoenix Project is a science organization, not a taxi service.

Big Damn Heroes

Conditions: Haven Leader's attitude to the Phoenix Project is more than 75.

At [HavenName], our operatives are greeted with great warmth and affection. The stories of our accomplishments have spread, and everyone here knows about the battles we have fought to help Tobias West realize his visions. "As far as we're concerned, you're genuine heroes," one the citizens says. "And heroes deserve a heroes' welcome!" Thank them

The citizens start loading crates of supplies into the [AircraftName]. "Friendship should always go both ways," our operatives are told. "You've done so much for us. Time for us to do something for you."

Food.png FOOD +110, Haven Leader’s attitude to 1pp.png Phoenix Project +7.

Chicken Broth for the Apocalypse

Conditions: Haven Leader's attitude to the Phoenix Project is more than 10.

At [HavenName], our operatives witness the lighter side of life in a New Jericho haven when they are invited to judge a local cooking contest. Cooking in the post-apocalypse is a difficult task, especially if you want the result to actually be tasty, but this just brings out people's innate creativity. Human beings like a challenge.

Judge the competition

The winner is, without a doubt, Fred Ujarak's recreation of the German specialty known as Currywurst, somehow accomplished without sausages or curry. But that's not really the point of the contest. The point is that everyone feels better, more human, for a little while.

Instead of judging, participate (-15 Food)

Participating in the contest, our operatives get to know the people of New Jericho, at least here in [HavenName], in a new way. As it turns out, they're just ordinary human beings trying to live meaningful lives in an increasingly alien world. The winner of the contest, Fred Ujarak, sums it up best: "We just want things to go back to normal."

Refuse

The Phoenix Project is a science organization, not an association of food critics.

Common Cause

Conditions: Haven Leader's attitude to the Phoenix Project is more than 50, New Jericho's attitude to Phoenix Project is more than 50.

Our operatives have made contact with [HavenName], a New Jericho haven. Its leader, Commander [HavenLeaderSurname], is an enthusiastic supporter of the Phoenix Project. She immediately offers to share information and resources. Accept

"I'm glad Tobias West put his trust in you," Commander [HavenLeaderSurname] says. "I always thought the Phoenix Project and New Jericho were natural allies. I'm sure you can make an official alliance happen if you keep up the amazing work you've been doing."

Tech.png TECH +110, Haven Leader’s attitude to 1pp.png Phoenix Project +8.

Curiosity

Conditions: Haven Leader's attitude to the Phoenix Project is more than 0, New Jericho's attitude to Phoenix Project is between 0 and 25.

Our operatives have landed at a New Jericho-affiliated haven called [HavenName]. Commander [HavenLeaderSurname], a former engineer, is very interested in our work. She asks many questions about the Phoenix Project, including detailed specifications of our equipment. "I'm just a geek about this stuff," she says.

Sharing this kind of information with New Jericho may be perceived as the beginning of an alliance by the other factions.

Provide detailed specifications

Commander [HavenLeaderSurname] is impressed, offering the full support of [HavenName] to our cause. She has ordered one of her finest soldiers to join our team.

Player receives one assault soldier.

Politely evade the questions

Commander [HavenLeaderSurname] is not offended, but comments on the sad lack of trust between our organizations. "We really need to work on that," she says.

Haven Leader’s attitude to 1pp.png Phoenix Project -5.

Ex Aqua

Conditions: Haven Leader's attitude to the Phoenix Project is more than 0. Haven has a food facility. Haven is starving.

[HavenName] is in crisis. There has been ongoing starvation for some time now, and to top it all off, the haven's overstrained food production facilities are breaking down. It looks like something may have gotten into the water, but the haven lacks a better filtration system. Could the Phoenix Project use some of its advanced tech to help track down the exact nature of the problem?

Help for free

The damage to the haven's crops is being caused by a previously unknown strain of phytoplasma. Normally transmission requires an insect vector, but this strain seems to be transmittable via water, and very hard to kill. Luckily for the people of [HavenName], our scientists are very good at killing bacteria.

The results of the study should also prove useful for our own projects.

Help for a price

The damage to the haven's crops is being caused by a previously unknown strain of phytoplasma. Normally transmission requires an insect vector, but this strain seems to be transmittable via water, and very hard to kill. Luckily for the people of [HavenName], our scientists are very good at killing bacteria.

Appeal to the New Jericho leadership

Conditions: Haven Leader's attitude to the Phoenix Project is more than 25.

If it spreads, any kind of pathogen that evades the usual safety precautions and does damage to crops could become a serious problem for humankind as a whole. New Jericho will dedicate extra resources to eliminating the threat at [HavenName] before it gets out of control.

NJ.png New Jericho's attitude to 1pp.png Phoenix Project +5, Haven Leader’s attitude to 1pp.png Phoenix Project +15.

Do not help

New Jericho will have to solve this problem itself. If they're all about purity, it shouldn't be so hard.

Food zone is damaged.

Fire from the Sky

A sudden fire is threatening to engulf [HavenName]'s training facilities. Commander [HavenLeaderSurname] already has her best people trying to put it out, but the blaze is unusually powerful.

Help out

With the help of our operatives, the fire is eventually put out. An investigation reveals its cause: a strange, balloon-like creature that drifted down out of the sky. A guard shot it and it exploded into a substance similar to napalm.

Commander [HavenLeaderSurname] shakes her head. "What kind of world has this become? Everything is hostile. Everything is... disgusting." By way of thanks, she shares some data the haven has been collecting.

Let it burn

The fire does significant damage to the haven's facilities before it can be stopped.

Flight of the Sinister Ducks

Commander [HavenLeaderSurname] is close to losing her mind. Her haven, [HavenName], has been dealing with a plague of exploding ducks. The bloated, misshapen creatures seem to contain some kind of highly combustible gas, and entire flocks of them are throwing themselves at the haven, day after day. They come from a floating "duck hive" suspended nearly a mile off the ground.

"We've got to do something or I swear we'll go crazy," Commander [HavenLeaderSurname] says. "Ducks! Of all the godforsaken things in this universe. The Pandoravirus really turns everything into an abomination. I've had to tell grieving mothers that their sons were killed by ducks. I've had to scrape torn-apart duck flesh from my roof. We need a solution. Please."

Use the [AircraftName] to get close enough to the hive to destroy it

This is without a doubt the strangest mission the [AircraftName] has ever undertaken. The ducks fly erratically, and bursting birds shake the vehicle. Finally, a well-aimed rocket shatters the hive in a massive explosion, as whatever gas kept it afloat catches on fire. The sight is disgusting, but the smell makes our operatives miss Chinese food.

Look for a scientific solution

Experiments show that these duck-like beings respond strongly to magnetic fields and that the reason they are divebombing the haven is not Pandoravirus aggression but the presence of a powerful industrial magnet. Once that is removed, the ducks are relatively harmless.

Mock the people of [HavenName] for being unable to live in the new world

Conditions: New Jericho's attitude to Phoenix Project is less than 25, Disciples of Anu's attitude to Phoenix Project is more than 0.

Commander [HavenLeaderSurname] does not think her situation is funny. "Real lives are being lost!" she screams. But that's the cost of trying to return to the past instead of adapting to the present. The Disciples of Anu would've turned the ducks into a source of pre-cooked food.

Conditions: Haven Leader's attitude to the Phoenix Project is more than 25. New Jericho's attitude to Phoenix Project is more than 25.

The officers of [HavenName], led by Commander [HavenLeaderSurname], have a bold new project they'd like our operatives to participate in: a poker tournament.

"Folks, we need some goddamned R&R," Commander [HavenLeaderSurname] says. "If we keep going like this, we're gonna forget what makes us human. And humans need to play. So how about it? You in?"

Participate (-15 Food)

The tournament is a huge success, raising morale and even spreading to other havens. Even something as simple as poker gives people something worth living for. Commander [HavenLeaderSurname] is pleased, doubly so because she won the tournament.

"Thanks for helping me make this happen. Having the Phoenix Project participate made it seem a lot less like a crazy idea. Heck, even Tobias West himself sent me a message. Said he doesn't play poker, but he appreciates the spirit of intelligent competition it fosters. How about that?"

"Not sure why Phoenix Project folks can't have any fun, but we sure appreciated the donation," she says with a grin."

Infection

Conditions: Haven Leader's attitude to the Phoenix Project is more than 0.

Our team has landed at a place called [HavenName]. The people here are sick. Our operatives believe that the locals have contracted a new strain of influenza, but panic is brewing as rumours about Pandoravirus infections are spreading.

We've made contact with Commander [HavenLeaderSurname], who runs this haven on behalf of New Jericho. She is asking for our assistance, in the form of medical supplies and expertise.

Provide medical assistance to [HavenName] (-15 Tech)

[HavenLeader] is extremely grateful for the medical assistance that our operatives have provided. Our team believes that in a week or two, the population will recover from the outbreak and everything will be back to normal.

Refuse aid to [HavenName]'s sick people

The security forces at [HavenName] have been severely depleted by the illness. If the haven is attacked, they may not be able to defend themselves.

Just Deserts

Conditions: Haven Leader's attitude to the Phoenix Project is less than -25.

Our operatives have been approached by a New Jericho deserter from [HavenName].

"All I want is a way out," he says, "and a little something to help me start a new life somewhere else - with the Disciples, maybe. I can pay you with some research data that... accidentally found its way to my system. I'm sure you'll find it very interesting."

Help the dissenter (-15 Tech)

The deserter gladly hands over the stolen data as soon as he's out of [HavenName]. The moment he's out of the haven he seems lighter, happier, like a man feeling free for the very first time.

Do not help

The Phoenix Project is a science organization, not a taxi service.

Loyalty

Conditions: Haven Leader's attitude to the Phoenix Project is more than 0, New Jericho's attitude to Phoenix Project is between -25 and +25.

At [HavenName], a Tobias West speech is being broadcast. West is explaining New Jericho's concept of loyalty: "Our loyalty is to the Earth. The Earth that was, the true Earth, with its systems of competition and evolution, and the apex of those processes - Homo sapiens, the rational animal that thrives in freedom."

"To stand against the invaders, against the corruption of that system, is what brings us together. It is an idea rooted in history and biology, giving birth to a voluntary community under a leader whose sole purpose is to build a future where all that is strong and good will flourish, and all that is weak and corrupt will wither, the way it has always been on this Earth."

Argue that West is wrong to think humanity has reached its apex

"And what do you think the real apex is? Growing a tentacle out of your butt? No thanks," one of the locals retorts. Nevertheless, some people here seem to think that maybe humanity has further to go, even if they're afraid to say so openly.

Argue that West is wrong for thinking a voluntary community needs a leader

This idea seems disturbing in a way the locals can't quite articulate, and our operatives are told to be quiet.

Praise the speech

Everyone nods - this is indeed one of West's best speeches.

West concludes with the following words: "As long as we are driven by that loyalty, a loyalty born of the Ego, of that unalienable core that makes each of us unique, not even the most powerful abomination will be able to stand in our way."

Respectfully allow the speech to conclude

"As long as we are driven by that loyalty," West continues, "a loyalty born of the Ego, of that unalienable core that makes each of us unique, not even the most powerful abomination will be able to stand in our way." There is an explosion of cheers.

Misty Days

Conditions: Haven is in Mist.

[HavenName] is surrounded by a white, cloudy sea, and people are terrified. Everyone living here has lost someone they loved to the Pandoravirus, and they all have vivid memories of what happened last time the Mist rolled across the land. Defenses are holding, but an undercurrent of panic is beginning to spread.

Share stories of Phoenix Project victories

It's almost like sharing stories around a fire at night - a communal experience that somehow gives everyone strength. Knowing that the Phoenix Project has succeeded before is reassuring, and the people of [HavenName] are reminded that being New Jericho is all about fighting back.

Tell people to have faith in Tobias West

The legend of Tobias West - the founder, the visionary - always gives people hope. But he is very far away, more an idea than a reality, and the Mist is right here.

Tell them only the Exalted can save them

Conditions: Disciples of Anu's attitude to Phoenix Project is more than 0.

To most people in [HavenName], the Exalted is a monster, something like a dragon from a fairy-tale. The idea that she could help them seems crazy. But there are those who, faced with the reality of the Mist, see the point of trying to adapt.

Tell them only Synedrion has the kind of technology that could beat back the Mist

Conditions: Synedrion's attitude to Phoenix Project is more than 0.

It's not what any of them wanted to hear, but the truth few are willing to admit is that it sounds believable. After all, what can New Jericho really do about the Mist? Shoot at it?
