july 2018
a week into a nightmarish state created under the watchful eye of stryker has taken a toll on the mansions inhabitants, separating, wounding and even taking the lives of those who are doing everything in their power to put an end to it. there’s one question that is looming over everyone’s mind as they navigate their way through this hell: what or who caused such a sudden slip? it quite literally happened overnight and aside from the hordes of sentinels that guard every city corner, the culprit that brought them to this dystopian future far worse from which they came is still unknown. 
with the sudden influx of those opposing stryker’s reign, the entire state of new york has gone on lockdown. any and all non-civilians found roaming the city were brought into several different facilities scattered throughout the state without a second thought. there’s no telling what will happen here, so it’s best to prepare for anything. 
as stated above, stryker’s men (with the aid of the sentinels) collected any and all non-civilians in sight and brought them to holding facilities located in each of the five boroughs: manhattan, bronx, brooklyn, queens and staten island. 
each facility is heavily guarded by stryker’s men who are given the instructions to keep those captured by any means necessary. 
the staten island facility is the base of operations for stryker’s plans as he watches over the chaos, the bronx facility is where surveillance is monitored, the queens facility is where sentinels are produced and stored, the brooklyn facility is where mutants and metahumans alike are brought in order to get experimented in the labs and the manhattan facility handles the transport of those in captivity and stryker’s men. 
using this knowledge some things characters may attempt are distracting guards to shut down surveillance (so that neighboring teams of stryker are none the wiser of any attempts to break free), sabotaging the sentinels, using transportation vehicles as a way out, etc.
those captured are being held in concrete holding cells with a single door that is only accessible from the outside. inhibitor collars (ref one and two) are also in use.
below the cut are 5 randomized groups of those in each facility. while you may continue all event threads, if you wish to post a team specific starter make sure to signify somewhere (either in the text post itself or in the tags) which group it is meant for. 
this plot drop will last from tuesday, july 10th at 10 pm gmt until the end of the event altogether, monday, july 16th at the same time.

Hong Kong
HONG KONG (Reuters) – Hong Kong’s annual pro-democracy protest saw one of the lowest turnouts in history, as thousands braved sweltering heat to protest against Beijing’s tightening grip over the city on Sunday, the 21st anniversary of its return to Chinese rule.

Organizers said 50,000 protested, in one of their lowest estimates since the annual march started in 2003. Police said 9,800 attended at the peak – the lowest figure on their record.
Hong Kong’s opposition has lost much steam in the past year, which saw elected pro-democracy legislators disqualified and some of the most prominent activists jailed.
Still, the mood was defiant on Sunday, with one of the most common chants being “Hong Kong people, keep going.”
Protesters included elderly people in wheelchairs, couples with sleeping toddlers and young residents, some of whom waved banners saying: “End one party rule; Against the fall of Hong Kong.”
“Now the government is already siding with the Communist Party. Can Hong Kong see any universal suffrage in 20 or 30 year’s time? I don’t think so,” said 13-year-old Joanna Wen, who was accompanied by her father.

Hong Kong is a former British colony that was returned to China in 1997 under a “one country, two systems” formula guaranteeing it a high degree of autonomy and the promise of eventual universal suffrage.
Beijing’s refusal to grant full democracy to Hong Kong triggered massive street protests in 2014 and deepened resentment toward China’s perceived growing encroachment on the territory, where its influence in nearly every facet of life has increased.
Hundreds of police were deployed on Sunday as some demonstrators marched with yellow umbrellas, a symbol of democratic activism in the city.
In response to the protest, the government said in a statement that “chanting slogans which disrespect ‘one country’… was not in line with Hong Kong’s overall interests and would undermine its development.”
At a ceremony early on Sunday to mark the handover anniversary, Chief Executive Carrie Lam asserted that the “one, country, two systems” framework remains intact under her watch.
Lam took over as governor of Hong Kong a year ago, pledging at a ceremony attended by Chinese President Xi Jinping to be accountable to both Beijing and Hong Kong.
“Without fear, we correctly deal with our relationship with the central government. And we promote a stronger understanding of the constitution, the Basic Law, and national security in all sectors,” Lam said at a Sunday morning cocktail reception.

Also present at the ceremony were the three former Chief Executives – Tung Chee-hwa, Donald Tsang and Leung Chun-ying, as well as mainland officials.
While Hong Kong activists push for greater democracy, Beijing has been taking a tougher stance on the city, and some Hong Kong residents say the old border that has defined the city’s autonomy is slowly withering away.
Lam faces a test later this year with the opening of two highly symbolic infrastructure projects – a bridge and high-speed rail line linking Hong Kong with mainland China.
The projects are part of a broader Beijing plan dubbed the Greater Bay Area, overseen by Xi, to integrate the city into the Pearl River Delta and improve the flow of people and money between Hong Kong and the mainland.
Veteran pro-democracy barrister Martin Lee said the opening of the bridge and rail line will kick-start Hong Kong’s absorption into the Greater Bay Area.
“That seems to be the plan of Beijing, to have Hong Kong absorbed into this bay area… Hong Kong will no longer be Hong Kong,” Lee said.
Lam was chosen by a largely pro-Beijing committee of some 1,200 people in the city of 7.3 million.
Her approval ratings have dipped since then. A University of Hong Kong survey of 1,000 people put her approval rating at 54.3 points, down from 61.1 points a year ago.

While Hong Kong activists push for greater democracy, the city is being pulled under mainland China’s control, and some Hong Kong residents say the old border that has defined the city’s autonomy is slowly withering away.

Lam faces a test later this year with the opening of two highly symbolic infrastructure projects – a bridge and high-speed rail line linking Hong Kong with mainland China.
The projects are part of a broader Beijing plan dubbed the Greater Bay Area, overseen by Xi, to integrate the city into the Pearl River Delta and improve the flow of people and money between Hong Kong and the mainland.
Veteran pro-democracy barrister Martin Lee said the opening of the bridge and rail line will kick-start Hong Kong’s absorption into the Greater Bay Area.
“That seems to be the plan of Beijing, to have Hong Kong absorbed into this bay area… Hong Kong will no longer be Hong Kong,” Lee said.
Lam was chosen by a largely pro-Beijing committee of some 1,200 people in the city of 7.3 million.
Her approval ratings have dipped since then. A University of Hong Kong survey of 1,000 people put her approval rating at 54.3 percent, down from 61.1 percent a year ago.

Thousands rally in Hong Kong over Beijing
HONG KONG (Reuters) – Thousands of Hong Kong people braved sweltering heat on Sunday to protest against Beijing’s tightening grip over the city as the former British colony marked the 21st anniversary of its return to Chinese rule.

The protestors included elderly people in wheelchairs, couples with sleeping toddlers and young residents, some of whom waved banners saying: “End one party rule; Against the fall of Hong Kong.”
“Now the government is already siding with the Communist Party. Can Hong Kong see any universal suffrage in 20 or 30 year’s time? I don’t think so,” said 13-year-old Joanna Wen, who was accompanied by her father.
Hong Kong is a former British colony that was returned to China in 1997 under a “one country, two systems” formula guaranteeing it a high degree of autonomy and the promise of eventual universal suffrage.
Beijing’s refusal to grant full democracy to Hong Kong triggered massive street protests in 2014 and deepened resentment toward China’s perceived growing encroachment on the territory, where its influence in nearly every facet of life has increased.

Hundreds of police were deployed on Sunday as some demonstrators marched with yellow umbrellas, a symbol of democratic activism in the city.
At a ceremony early on Sunday to mark the handover anniversary, Chief Executive Carrie Lam asserted that the “one, country, two systems” framework remains intact under her watch.
Lam took over as governor of Hong Kong a year ago, pledging at a ceremony attended by Chinese President Xi Jinping to be accountable to both Beijing and Hong Kong.
“Without fear, we correctly deal with our relationship with the central government. And we promote a stronger understanding of the constitution, the Basic Law, and national security in all sectors,” Lam said at a Sunday morning cocktail reception.

Thousands set to rally in Hong Kong over Beijing
HONG KONG (Reuters) – Pro-democracy activists in Hong Kong were expecting tens of thousands of people to attend an annual protest rally on Sunday to mark the 21st anniversary of the city’s return to Chinese rule as tensions simmer over Beijing’s tightening grip.

Turnout will be a key indicator of public sentiment at a time when the opposition in Hong Kong has seen activists jailed and others barred from running in a by-election.
An organizer of the Sunday protest, Sammy Ip, said the rally would not target Hong Kong leader Carrie Lam but focus on a broad push against Beijing’s perceived encroachment into the former British colony.
At a ceremony early on Sunday to mark the anniversary, Chief Executive Lam asserted that the “one, country, two systems” framework under which the financial hub is governed remains intact under her watch.

Lam took over as governor of the former British colony a year ago, pledging at a ceremony attended by Chinese President Xi Jinping to be accountable to both Beijing and Hong Kong.
“Without fear, we correctly deal with our relationship with the central government. And we promote a stronger understanding of the constitution, the Basic Law, and national security in all sectors,” Lam said at a Sunday morning cocktail reception.
Also present at the ceremony were the three former Chief Executives – Tung Chee-wah, Donald Tsang and Leung Chun-ying, as well as senior mainland officials.
Under the mini-constitution, the Basic Law, Hong Kong is guaranteed wide-ranging autonomy for “at least 50 years” after 1997 under a “one country, two systems” formula praised by Xi. It also specifies universal suffrage as an eventual goal.
Beijing’s refusal to grant full democracy to Hong Kong triggered massive street protests in 2014 and deepened resentment toward China’s perceived growing encroachment on the territory, where its influence in nearly every facet of life has increased.

While critics in Hong Kong have questioned Lam’s commitment to the autonomy and freedoms under the “one country, two systems” formula, Beijing has praised her leadership.
“You have adopted a series of policies … to promote Hong Kong’s economic development and social harmony,” China’s Vice Premier Han Zheng said after meeting Lam in Beijing on Tuesday.
“I congratulate you,” he said.
Lam was chosen by a largely pro-Beijing committee of some 1,200 people in the city of 7.3 million.
Her approval ratings have dipped since then. A University of Hong Kong survey of 1,000 people put her approval rating at 54.3 points, down from 61.1 points a year ago.
