≫ WHAT'S UP WITH GATEWAY ROLEPLAY? ≪

  • We've been radio silent for a long time now. We posted an announcement in our Discord server back in April of 2025, but never updated the forums. So what's up with Gateway Roleplay?

    After 5 long years, we've decided to place the development of Ties That Bind on an indefinite hold.

    This doesn't mean it's cancelled. We fully intend to run Ties That Bind: What Lies Beneath and Ties That Bind: City of Angels eventually. But to do so, we need to take a step back. In the meantime, we'll be working on smaller, invite-only projects.

    Thank you to everyone who has stuck with us this long! MindGate and I (Pika) have been working on this server for over a decade now. It truly is a passion project for us.

Title: Brighton Transcripts - Recordings

Heya Mind,

Another one from me, I know. Please bear with me. :)

Are there any tapes or recordings of the Brighton broadcasts from the CPF transcripts? And if so, could we get a clue on how to obtain them? Could Terry or Recorder get a mission with a chance of finding them?

EDIT: I feel I should explain a bit why we need them.

Terry recently met with Kaari and Gerald in a meeting where I hoped Terry would gain their support, and that it would make way for the big meeting. Terry would invite them along and show the currently gathered evidence to Preston and then Monroe.

However, that turned out not to be the case. Kaari and Gerald have little to no faith in Terry's evidence, and they brought up good points which has in turn made Terry (read: me) doubt the plan as it is.

Their main points were that the transcripts could be too easily faked, and/or could be seen as more mud throwing by the CPF. It would be too easy for Crystal to deny the evidence, and would end in the same scenario as Henry and Stone's attempt. A scenario I'm trying to avoid at all costs.

Furthermore, Brighton is a shadow organization that doesn't mean much to most people, and some of the stuff Crystal has done through Brighton could even be seen as beneficial. As such, the Brighton influence angle isn't worth much on its own.

The only real, strong case against Crystal is the failed Miller embassy and alliance. But that's over now too.

However.

The transcripts show that Crystal lied when she claimed on the radio to have employed the Millers out of fear of what they'd do to Monroe. The broadcast transcripts has her telling she specifically wanted the Millers to secure her premiership.

If recordings could be found with her saying this, it'd confirm the lie. It wouldn't matter who transcribed it, because it would be her own voice. Furthermore, it would lend credibility to the rest of the evidence too. It would, as I see it, be enough evidence to make the big meeting a good plan again.

This is the smoking gun we need. I'm building a campaign platform with Terry's plans for Monroe, for defense, trade, healthcare etc, which will also factor into her swaying the public once the debates begin. But Terry needs to dent Crystal's credibility with what she's learned during her investigation, in order to even stand a chance. It's what made Terry decide to go up against Crystal in the first place, and it's the only win scenario I can see for her. So I really hope you'll grant us this request. I'll put in the work needed, but I need the opportunity.

I know Liliana is also working on gathering more evidence on the Brighton side of things. I don't know specifically what she's looking for, though. But I hope it'll make a difference as well, of course.

Thank you!

As I mentioned in DM's, I don't think there are any recordings. At least, not that Max had access to. Everything she provided Terry with was on paper. Unless Mind says otherwise, that's what I'd go with for now. I wish I could help more, but it wouldn't make sense to say Terry miraculously has access to audio recordings of the radio conversations when Max was never in possession of any. If Terry was given information by someone else as well, then there'd be a possibility. I just wanted to drop a response here so I could close out the ticket!

Thanks for the reply. :)

I'd never expect to have Terry miraculously be in posession of recordings. That's why I was/am asking for a mission to obtain them. Maybe the transcripts are the thing that lead Terry to know there must be recordings somewhere, too, for someone to have been able to transcribe the broadcasts.

Terry knows IC that Crystal is shady. It's getting the hard proof that's the problem, and that's the reason I'm making my case for getting an opportunity to obtain that.

Oh! I must have read the ticket wrong. I thought you were asking if Terry could have been provided with recordings as well. I asked Mind, though, and as far as he knows no recordings exist. It sort of makes sense, since Brighton is all about secrecy and not leaving a trail behind.

It wouldn't have been recorded by Brighton though - it would have been recorded by the CPF, who I assume interceptet Brighton's broadcasts, in order to be in possession of the transcripts. I don't suppose whoever in the CPF interceptet the broadcasts would have been able to transcribe them as quickly as they were listening to them, hence why recordings must have existed at some point.

Unless the CPF got the transcripts straight from Brighton somehow - but it doesn't make sense for Brighton to have transcripts in the first place, if they're all about not leaving a trail behind.

I dunno how I missed this response. I guess the forums just never notified me?? But I've been really busy with work and stuff too.

Max was provided the transcripts by someone outside of the CPF who has access to Brighton radio frequencies. I don't want to say who to avoid meta. As far as I know, the CPF doesn't monitor Brighton frequencies. Since the provider never recorded the audio of the conversations they heard—they only transcribed them on paper—no recordings exist that I'm aware of.

Alright - thanks for the clarification. It makes sense. :)

And sorry if I've been needling this issue - it's just very important to me to use every single option available for Terry to increase her chances at the election. Thanks for bearing with me.<3
