( 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.

Well that depends, are you talking about Champ or the flukemen?

You know, the theory behind imaginary friends is that children are still susceptible to being able to see things that are manifesting from the other side. I don't see what's so imaginary about that.

But of course not, I enjoy remaining alive. I wouldn't wish a date with the flukemen on my worst enemy, and Champ seems to be just a little camera shy. Pity, I think he'd make a great model.

Not really ashamed, more like 'vaguely concerned for others' wellbeing' but if you want to go ahead and take this eligible bachelor out on the town, far be it from me to stop you.

At least, until the point he tries to reproduce, because I really don't think we need any more of them right now. Or ever, for that matter.

I'm sure he can be persuaded to make an appearance. Just roll up your sleeves and show him your wrist, and I'm sure he'll go right for it.

When he decides to make babies though, you're on your own for that. My advice would be to squish 'em as quickly as possible.
