Hey Laue, SPAssemble and I were thinking of doing an intro plot wherein our characters get to form a comrade relationship. I sorta gave you a brief overview in the PM. After the intro plot, we get a piece of info and head back into the city, where we could get involved in the investigation. I could even play as a spy for the Lumies, which would be fun.

That way we'd still be pretty connected to the plot, right?
