The Department of Protected Inhabitants has set out an alert on all active telepads and comm networks. This is normal, they tend to send out odd little reminders and slightly suspicious messages from time to time... but somehow this feels different. There are many more drones spiraling about, scanning for who knows what. You've had at least three different operatives skulking around the outskirts of your colony.
It almost seems like they're looking for something and have no idea where it might be...
Instructions: Depict your colonists searching for and finding a suspicious report, either hidden away within your colony, the wilderness, a town or village, or even being given it by a shady individual. Get creative!
Requirements
- Focus Colonists: Minimum 7 experience, including at least one background.
- Minimum Focus Colonists: One.
- Maximum Focus Colonists: Three.

RESPECT Faction only.
Details
So, you've decided to respect the wishes of the Department of Protected Inhabited Planets, excellent! We thank you for that.
We're sure you've heard, but the native inhabitants of B'Av have decided to open their docks and ports in all four regions. We need wonderful, intelligent researchers such as yourself and your colony to go introduce yourself to those who work at these watery locations! Perhaps there are towns near the docks that should be explored, far far more interesting than any silly little papers you might have found elsewhere. In fact, if you want to turn in opened reports if you run into any DPIP officers at the docks, feel free for the following rewards! Additionally, some of the Elders have traveled to these areas and have let us know that they need assistance in some research.
If you turn in an unopened report as an add-on, you will earn 100 Xen.
If you turn in an opened report as an add-on, you will only earn 50 Xen. Is your curiosity worth it?
If you explore the docks and interact with an inhabitant, you will earn 25 RP.
Instructions:
Option One: Depict your researcher or colonist(s) visiting the Elders at the docks to see how you can help them with their research.
Option Two: Depict your researcher or colonist(s) exploring the docks and ports of any regions and meeting the inhabitants of those locations.
Requirements
- Focus Colonists: Minimum 7 experience, including at least one background.
- Maximum Focus Colonists: Three.
- Minimum NPCs: IF OPTION 2: Include at least one Inhabitant NPC from the LOCATION you are investigating.
- It must be clear which port you're visiting.

REBEL Faction only.
Details
Oh, so you're not going to follow the instructions, nay, orders of the DPIP? That's fine, that's fine... for now. We have no power over what might happen if you follow the clues.
Instructions: Once you've opened a Suspicious Report and have a clue, illustrate or write about your colonists following that clue and searching the area. These should feature one of the NPCs associated with that location in your piece. Unlike regular DPIP reports, you will not have to pay a RP fee or follow the same limits as the Investigation prompt.
Submit to the individual subprompt based on the clue found in your Opened Suspicious Report item, not to the main prompt.
Requirements
- Focus Colonists: Minimum 7 experience, including at least one background.
- Minimum Focus Colonists: One.
- Maximum Focus Colonists: Three.
- Minimum NPCs: Include at least one Inhabitant NPC from the LOCATION you are investigating.
- Mention which location you are investigating in the comments.
- Remember to include the Opened Suspicious Report as an add-on!

TT.S2 - Genetic Research
Either Faction may do this.
Details
Elder Quetzalcoatl considers you for a long moment before letting a sly smile lift onto her lips. "I could use some help," she decides after a long moment. "If you wish to further our research into the genome of tsabhua and belemoid and wonder about any particular markings, go ahead and study an existing colonist with the marking to lend a hand."
Research up to three markings on ONE colonist per submission to unlock further studies.
Instructions:
Depict your colonist researching the particulars that you have been instructed to research. Make sure to mention the specific markings at least in the submission comments.
The following markings and modifiers are not valid for this prompt: Reversal, Fewspot Appaloosa, Snowcap Appaloosa, anything lineage linked such as Peacock Appaloosa or Raptor Barring, or Creampearl.
If a philter is already established for a marking, submitting a prompt for that marking will add 10 research to its goal.
If it is already fully researched, it will do nothing.
Requirements
- Focus Colonists: Minimum 7 experience, including at least one background.
- Minimum Focus Colonists: One.
