Note that this post is purely fictitious and not meant as a discussion about wether or not a wipe should happen. It's a pure "what if" scenario!
Also no guarantee on lore corectness, I tried my best to make it fit in somehow.
Backgroundstory:
The contact to all agent's sparks on NIA has been lost after a huge electrical storm, similiar to those making the sea of NIA impassable, has interfered with the wormhole which is connecting NIA and Earth, which ended with the disappearence of said wormhole.
After decades the scientists on earth managed to find a new wormhole to use, yet the NIA they found was not the one they left:
The domestic robot population used the absence of spark controlled robots to regain control of their outposts and terminals and destroy all manmade outposts, assets or contamination of soil on the 'Gamma' classified islands.
While the agents once again gain access to the robot technology on NIA, this time with the advanced systems of corporation shared research, new kernels and different missions and all the improvements the scientists made over the years, they could not manage to access the old sparks, thus leaving all prior pilots with a limited amount of control points [EP] and no NIC.
TL;DR / no lore version:
The game is reset, all previously subbed characters start with a slight ep advantage [200.000 EP], no assets, everyone starts on the new tutorial island.
What are your first steps? Do you start to collect kernels right away, do you try to be the first go go to beta/gamma or do you stay on alpha for a while; what would you do in an entirely new Perpetuum world?
Edit for Jasdemi:
TL;DR-TL;DR: No money, no assets,reset all bases, 200k EP, what do?
