Like pretty much everyone else said, the interaction. I'm particularly looking forward to Gareth's interactions with Lucas, Josh and Grace (now that I think about it, I'm looking forward to interacting with everyone's characters. They're all great). Besides that I'm also especially looking forward to developing Gareth; giving him more reasons to live other than the fact that his deceased wife would want him to. This springboards off of interaction, too, so you can probably see why that's at the top of my list.

We're not collaborating on anything. The Fairchild Electronics arc is largely intended as just a personal one for Emory; that's why I chose to have the product they were marketing essentially just be a taser. They aren't any real threat to Hyperhumans at this point, they're just monetising on the fear and public unrest. Honestly, I am surprised that so many people have headed to the rally. 

I think there is definitely potential for FE to become a larger threat later on. Money is power, and they have a lot of that thanks to their global enterprise and an especially generous charitable donation. But currently FE doesn't care enough about Hyperhumans to allocate resources for producing anything of real threat to the Hypes; their involvement is solely monetary, they've yet no motive for a vendetta.

Wraith has a lot of his own solid plans for the RP that are much more interesting than anything to do with FE, and I think people should focus more on those elements - the real danger to Hyperhumans, from whom the convoy is running. Fairchild Electronics will only ever be a minor antagonistic presence at best. The entire scene has kind of been blown out of proportion by the amount of characters who have attended; it was initially to be a scene purely for Emory to face his father, but then after a discussion with Wraith we realised that the electrical nature of the rally would give Zeke an opportunity to shine.

Now, I'm not sure what will happen. There seems to be too many Hypes present for Zeke and Emory to cause a fuss with any degree of convenience. I personally was expecting most people to want to introduce their characters and head for the convoy. I don't see the other characters attending just to see whether they can get a deal on the Pacifier, and frankly I feel that a large group of Hypes causing a scene at the beginning of a roleplay about keeping a low profile is more than a little counterproductive. 

I will likely just have Emory face his father in private. I don't know what the rest of you plan on doing.

I honestly thought that this was where Wraith wanted us to go. I can easily edit my first post and have Gar head to the plantation instead. I have no problem with that.

EDIT: I've edited the post. Gareth's no longer headed to City Hall, but going to the convoy, instead.
