( MEMES ) TEST DRIVE >> 004.

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. 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. Last time you looked outside, it was a fairly standard winter day: a few low clouds, not much sunshine, maybe a little snow on the ground. Nothing to write home about, other than the fact that it was all created by advanced technology. Now? Blizzard conditions in an artificial winter, under an artificial sky. People are trapped, frozen in, and the Militia is engaging in rescue operations in multiple Districts. Are you going to help your fellow man? Provide shelter or assist with digging people out of the snow? Or are you going to do something else? It's up to you. 

3. A Serial Killer on the Loose. Several months ago, the Sanctum was terrorized by a serial killer known as XXX. Immune and Survivor alike fell victim. XXX was eventually caught and brought to justice...only the news stations are reporting that XXX has escaped, and Immune have gone missing overnight. Do you keep a low profile, or find safety in numbers? Do you try to seek out the serial killer, or do some digging of a different sort?

4. Memory Glitch. Yesterday there was a parade through District Two that turned into an anti-Bifrons protest. Today? Anyone you mention it to either has no idea what you're talking about or is making a good show of feigning ignorance and concern for your mental stability. Has your memory been tampered with? Or are you truly losing it?

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. Network Glitches. Strange messages are coming through the network, embedded in posts from other users. Beyond anonymous and completely untraceable, these posters claim that Bifrons has changed more about you than you know. It's suggested that you look into past dealings with Kilo to gain better understanding of what you're up against. Do you investigate?

7. Wildcard. Choose your own adventure or create a cocktail from the presented options! The choice is YOURS.

You may not be a threat, but I'm fairly certain she would be if I happened to cross her.

I highly doubt me finding her is going to make her angry. I'm her partner.

No doubt when I pass your name onto her she'll throw her hands in the air in joyous celebration of your arrival. [Cheeky? Yes. Abnormally paranoid? Possibly.]

[He pauses for a moment. This guy must be with Delta and Theta. He'd have to run the name Epsilon by them, see what they'd expect.]

Thank you, Epsilon. I'll let her know you're here. By the way; I am Black-Box. You may call me BB, everyone else does. [Might as well throw the poor guy a bone.]

As if 'Epsilon' is any better. Is that a callsign, perhaps? [He doesn't think so, but he'll humor the guy.] Mine is pretty standard for UNSC AI.

[Oh so casually dropping that last bit.]

It's the name they gave me.

They. You're being delightfully vague; I'm sure ONI would have loved to get a hold of you.

The assholes that were responsible for my existence. Doesn't seem that vague to me.

Assholes, generally, still have names.

True. But I barely know you.
