( MEMES ) TEST DRIVE >> 003.

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.

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. What are you going to do?

2. Failed Upgrade. One of your upgrades is more wrong than right. How will you cope? What exactly is different? Who will help?

3. Mission outside the dome. You've come under fire. The strange things are coming towards you. Luckily, you have your suit, your teammates, and a lot of firepower. Or are you stranded on your own, looking for someone to come to the rescue? Perhaps you're the rescuer.

4.Infected Something bit you. Now you're turning into them, and all you can hear is a high-pitched squealing in your head, like a frequency you just can't quite hear. Do you tell your loved ones, or do you wait? Do you trust your doctor?

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. Chance encounter makin' my way downtown walking fast, faces pass--you get the point. You bump into someone! Shopping, or strolling in a park? Maybe just lunch in a cafe?

7. Glory to the Network! Network post. Text with general queries, say what you have to say to the entirety of the whole city.

8. Wildcard: Whatever you want. Mix and match, switch and swatch, make something else up entirely!

Man after my own heart. [ He hauls himself off the sofa to wander to the fridge, pulling out two beers for himself and Tucker before flopping back down. ] Figure we got another hour at least.

How much practical experience do you have with infiltration?
babyaliendaddy: (Swish foosh)

Re: Action

[personal profile] babyaliendaddy 2014-08-11 12:47 am (UTC)(link)
To be completely honest with you, dude? I got experience out the fucking wazhoo. Enough to know I'm crappy at it.

You've never successfully infiltrated a base without getting caught or tripping an alarm?

Re: Action

[personal profile] babyaliendaddy 2014-08-11 01:27 am (UTC)(link)
Well yeah - by sheer fucking luck. Or help from Tex. [A pause.] ... okay there was that one time with the alien tech stuff. And that other time against Wyoming. And I guess we kinda managed to get into the Freelancer secret base without starting shit until Church started shit. Still.

So you're lucky rather than good. That- actually we kind of need that.

Good, because you're gonna find out that I am Hella lucky then. [And yep, that's the Tucker snide good humor there.]
goddamngrenades: (and we died anyway)

[Oh crap, people looking for numbers again. Tucker lets out a sigh and thinks about it.]

We'll go with ... 75% luck, 25% skill?
goddamngrenades: (i'm lost)

We've worked with worse odds before. We were supposed to be a whole squad, you know? Fifty states, fifty freelancers.

Training accidents. Experimental failures. The Dome Shield North had- Utah tried to use it without an AI on orders. It made a sphere around his helmet, interfered with his suit's life support and he suffocated before they could find a way to shut it off. Shit like that.
babyaliendaddy: (That shit's weird)

[....]

What. The Fuck. Are you serious?! They made you guys kill yourselves under orders and you did it?!
