-The Nishitama Thought Experiment was a roleplay started on December 13, 2010, with [[members:toshiro]] as its [[guide:game_master]], and ended on August 25, 2012 when it transitioned into the succeeding [[plot:yss_sakura_ii]] plot.  Unlike most RPs, it was technically civilian, though it used acting and retired military personnel where possible.  The plot was based out of [[places:nishitama]] and the ships and craft which operated out of a research facility there.+The Nishitama Thought Experiment was a roleplay started on December 13, 2010, with [[members:toshiro]] as its [[guide:game_master]], and ended on August 25, 2012 when it transitioned into the succeeding [[plots:yss_sakura_ii]] plot.  Unlike most RPs, it was technically civilian, though it used acting and retired military personnel where possible.  The plot was based out of [[places:nishitama]] and the ships and craft which operated out of a research facility there.

-The crew participating in the experiments and the R&D of [[corp:kage:project_thought:project_thought_plan]] are dedicated to testing and refining next-generation technologies intended for the [[stararmy:start]] while also preventing their premature discovery.  The tactic planned by the Project THOUGHT team involves a small and secure site developing designs as fully as possible before submitting them for full-blown production -- an effort to use a surge of new technologies all at once to obtain an advantage.  For this to work, as well as due to concerns of intelligence leaks within [[:stararmy:saint]] or the [[stararmy:fleets:first_expeditionary_fleet]], it is required to even conceal the research from the Star Army until the time is right.  Intelligence operations in the form of [[plot:office_8412]] may occur or provide information to the crew, and they may even assign missions or testing locations for the Project THOUGHT test pilots.+The crew participating in the experiments and the R&D of [[corp:kage:project_thought:project_thought_plan]] are dedicated to testing and refining next-generation technologies intended for the [[stararmy:start]] while also preventing their premature discovery.  The tactic planned by the Project THOUGHT team involves a small and secure site developing designs as fully as possible before submitting them for full-blown production -- an effort to use a surge of new technologies all at once to obtain an advantage.  For this to work, as well as due to concerns of intelligence leaks within [[:stararmy:saint]] or the [[stararmy:fleets:first_expeditionary_fleet]], it is required to even conceal the research from the Star Army until the time is right.  Intelligence operations in the form of [[plots:office_8412]] may occur or provide information to the crew, and they may even assign missions or testing locations for the Project THOUGHT test pilots.
  
 It should be noted that the wartime status and the testing of military-grade hardware may easily require the crew to see actual combat, especially if the enemy pays more attention to the Nishitama area. It should be noted that the wartime status and the testing of military-grade hardware may easily require the crew to see actual combat, especially if the enemy pays more attention to the Nishitama area.

 Test Team One worked in conjunction with the by then mobilized Star Army forces to reclaim the building, the recovered mayor having rescinded the orders given in his absence regarding jurisdiction of the Tachibana Incident.  Test Team One acted as a distraction while the Army ambushed the enemy and swiftly loaded the space suit-clad survivors onto shuttles.  The enemy resisted heavily, though the civilians were successfully evacuated.  The colony was gradually depressurized as a precaution against the SC Agent, and gravity was lowered in the area after the YINN building sustained damage and turned out to be near collapse.  Eventually, to save falling civilians, the gravity was completely nullified. Test Team One worked in conjunction with the by then mobilized Star Army forces to reclaim the building, the recovered mayor having rescinded the orders given in his absence regarding jurisdiction of the Tachibana Incident.  Test Team One acted as a distraction while the Army ambushed the enemy and swiftly loaded the space suit-clad survivors onto shuttles.  The enemy resisted heavily, though the civilians were successfully evacuated.  The colony was gradually depressurized as a precaution against the SC Agent, and gravity was lowered in the area after the YINN building sustained damage and turned out to be near collapse.  Eventually, to save falling civilians, the gravity was completely nullified.
  
-Explosions set off when the last of the Tachibana in the YINN building ceased to give off life signs, thrusting the building over into the next door structure and releasing SC Agent.  The lack of gravity and the force of the blast and collision left SC Agent and building fragments adrift in the colony, forcing the colony's hull to be opened and the adrift contents vented out with the remainder of the atmosphere.  Test Team One's shuttle docked with the [[plot:yss_sakura_ii]], at which point this plot transitioned to that ship's plot.+Explosions set off when the last of the Tachibana in the YINN building ceased to give off life signs, thrusting the building over into the next door structure and releasing SC Agent.  The lack of gravity and the force of the blast and collision left SC Agent and building fragments adrift in the colony, forcing the colony's hull to be opened and the adrift contents vented out with the remainder of the atmosphere.  Test Team One's shuttle docked with the [[plots:yss_sakura_ii]], at which point this plot transitioned to that ship's plot.
