Alpha Complex Test Drive Meme

Alpha Complex opened Sunday, July 31st. Please feel free to take a Test Drive to see if the environment would suit your character! All potential players are welcome.

It may be your first day in Alpha Complex or your hundredth, either way, you are in serious trouble.

In a bid to win sympathy and new recruits, the Frankenstein Destroyers - a secret society within Alpha who sees all bots as enemies, has uploaded a virus that is affecting all bots within the complex.

For the next twenty four hours, every bot you see will be the enemy. Your assigned Personal Digital Companion(PDC), a personal communication device, has turned on you and is intentionally misfiring your texts, phone calls and videos. The Bouncy Bubble Beverage machine in the cafeteria is shooting out bottles at passers by at high speeds. The high tech vacuum cleaner used to vacuum your clearance level's common room is attempting to suck up everything in sight. Elevators are trying to coerce people to climb out, so they can behead them. That adorable Petbot you purchased last week is trying to tear your throat out. That Guardbot from the Armed Services Sector is attempting to take out citizens, one by one. Autocars are driving themselves, right onto sidewalks and through windows...

Will you fight for your right to exist or hole up somewhere safe until the chaos passes?

Do not fear, citizen! The Computer and it's high advisors are working to restore order.

In the meantime, be safe and beware of bots and traitors!

Steve had just finished disposing of a few guard bots on the RED level of the Wagon Wheel before he heard someone screaming for help and Barry's name. This couldn't be good.

Grabbing his makeshift shield — essentially the front plate of a guardbot — Steve races down the hall and around the corner before he spots a woman in the elevator, hand over her mouth as if she's just said something terrible. A good look at the situation and he's realizes that the elevator was trying to force her out, and probably hurt her in the process.

"M'AM, DO NOT EXIT THE ELEVATOR," he shouts down the hall as he starts towards her, hoping that she can hear him.

She can certainly hear him, even over the sound of her own heartbeat pounding in her ears. And she isn't going anywhere; she still has one arm wrapped around her legs, her body still folded in on itself at the back of the elevator. (There's something eerily reminiscent about this scenario, about being trapped in a small space and shouting for someone to help them. Not just her, but them. Did she yell for Barry then, too?)

Her eyes fix on the man coming towards her: tall, broad-shouldered, light-colored hair. There's a moment, a second or two really, where her vision flickers and something is superimposed over him: a different man, dressed completely in black and masked, blue lightning scattering in his wake. The sight just makes her heart race even faster, even after the image disappeared, leaving the original man there.

"I-I don't know how much longer the doors are going to stay open!" Her voice has an edge of desperation in it.
