( MEMES ) TEST DRIVE >> 6
Like it or not, you've been dragged from your world into the sanctum. It's a pretty nice city, all things considered--sci-fi, high-tech, glamourous.... Except, of course, for the giant dome encircling it, and the threat of glitching, contaminated zombies at your door. Looks like humanity's built itself a fortress that looks suspiciously like a cage, too. Toss in the odd memory blanks and the everpresent logo of Bifrons incorporated and it's enough to make someone paranoid.
The object of this meme is to get people familiar with the world of the Sanctum, and to try to see if their characters would fit in a sci-fi utopia such as this. Here are your options:
1. Intro: Waking Up. Make your intro post, folks. You wake up in a strange place, and get a strange transmission to go with it. There's a pair of glasses connected to some sort of communications network, but otherwise not much else in the room with you. What are you going to do?
2. Environmental Glitching. You know the story of Noah? No? Now you're living it. Sealed portions of the districts are overfilling with water, flooding streets, fields, and select city blocks. Do you climb up to get to safety, shut off the water, or find a way to break down the barrier to the next sector over?
3. Genetic Altering. What it says on the tin. Except...it's not quite gone right, has it? Are you supposed to spit acid when you hiccup? Are your insides acid resistant? No? Oh dear. Warped experiments gone wrong, your augmentation has twisted around on you for horrific or hilarious results.
4. Memory Glitch. No one knows your face. You don't exist on the network. In fact...you're not all that certain you are who you think you are anyway. Haven't you always lived here?
5. Military Training. Everyone's got to start somewhere. You're training the green folks, maybe you're one of the newcomers yourself. Maybe you haven't even touched a gun before in your life. Either way, you'd better start now.
6. Outside the Dome You're out and about without an armed escort, suited up against the atmosphere and dysthropes. It's supposed to be a green sector in this run down shell of what used to be a suburb, right? Nothing could possibly go wrong
7. Wildcard. Choose your own adventure or create a cocktail from the presented options! The choice is YOURS.
Linda-058 | Halo | 2 / 5
[When it comes to disasters, Linda is a pro. Any Spartan is. Each and every one if them is good to have in a pinch. This situation isn't any different. She scours the district she's in one block at a time, looking for people trapped or too scared to venture out, ready to lead them to safety. There has to be a way to get through, to get out, and as she's been tasked with this just as much as she's tasked herself with it, everyone will get out safely. For a Spartan, their mission isn't just to fight, but to protect.
If you're floating and lost, expect a line thrown out to you, its end solidly anchored behind her or around her waist. If you're the more adventurous sort, you'll find her trying to turn a large wheel on a huge pump, still unaccustomed to generously provided nerfing of her abilities.
Is she helping you, or are you helping her?]

[Spartans are big. That's the first thing. Linda is tall and fit and with her hair grown out she looks about like an Olympic athlete. If she was one, her sport of choice would be clear, because as you see her off in the corner of the training area, she holds a very long rifle that could impress even the biggest weapons enthusiast. It's a sniper rifle, and though she's good with a great many things, the sniper rifle is closest to her heart, her weapon of choice, and the one she was most frequently tasked with bearing. She holds it now as she settles into a prone position on a raised surface, then pulls goggles down over her eyes. A few rapid, eerily quiet shots are fired in succession, straight at the makeshift target, and she looks impassive until she's finished. After that, she stands, looking the gun over with approval and pushing the goggles back up to her forehead. Addressing the crowd near her, the people she's ready to train, she holds the gun carefully.]
Any takers on round one?
