( MEMES ) TEST DRIVE >> 7

THE TEST DRIVE



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. Pet Adoption. Maybe you have the perfect genetically engineered pet in mind. Maybe you found a stray little escapee--do you keep it or turn it in? There's a reward if you let Bifrons know where the potentially dangerous little bugger is at, after all.

3. Alterations. Feel like you need an edge in the city? Find yourself injured and looking at options? Why not consider genetic alterations or, better yet, upgrading to a better, healthier you? Be warned, some of the side effects can be a little unpleasant.

4. Network Glitches. Strange garbled messages keep trying to come through in audio and text, but no way to track where they're coming from. Do you try to make contact? Compare notes with others? Surely it's nothing to be concerned about, right?

5. Dome Glitches. What was that in the window? There, again, in the bathroom mirror! Is that another you, living another life? Or maybe you spot an ominous shadow lurking around in the corner, something like a dysthrope but...worse. You're not going crazy, are you? Others see it, too, don't they? Oh, I wouldn't touch that reflective surface if I were you, or you might end up thinking you're living in that strange other world.

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.

"They ain't me. Therefore: DNA say'n exactly who a person is? Is bullshit." How the hell would twins work then anyway? They wouldn't. Seriously. Who came up with this? Probably whoever would benefit most from it. "Dna is just what you are. Only person that gets to say in WHO you are? Is you. Claim'n that DNA tells you what your destiny is? That's some eugenics based, caste system bullshit."

Caine stares back at Whiskey, dumbfounded for a second. It was true that the relationship between splices and humans hadn't always been so smooth, that history had seen rebellion and unrest before.

"But isn't it easier to just know what you're supposed to do and where you belong? Without having to fight for a position?" Caine had had to fight for his position, truthfully, but he'd been a runt. That had been expected. He couldn't imagine why anyone would put themselves through that voluntarily.

"You earn your position. If you want somth'n better? You work hard, play your cards right, and earn that one too. Equal play'n ground for the most part. At least where it matters. If you got the knowledge and the skills t'do it? Ain't nothing like your blood gonna keep you from gett'n it done." That's just how it was.
