Alpha Complex Test Drive


Alpha Complex Test Drive Meme

Alpha Complex will be opening soon, but until then, feel free to take a Test Drive to see if the environment would suit your character!   All potential players are welcome.

 

You have just woken on a table in one of the city's Cloning Facilities.  You are the Prime, or first clone of your kind and the scientists are particularly smug about how you turned out because they reconstructed your DNA based almost entirely on historical records.  You are their newest and greatest creation.

 

You are immediately sedated, given a red jumpsuit and ID card and ushered to a huge room that is lined wall to wall with cubicles.  You are given a number and are told to wait.  The sedative slowly wears off and by the time you get called to a cubicle you have many questions.  The citizen that processes you in is wearing Green and explains matter-of-factly that all of those memories in your mind are in fact a glitch.  You were never meant to remember a past life.  Your new life is here, as a Troubleshooter for The Computer.  The best thing you can do is ignore the glitch and serve The Computer and Alpha Complex to the best of your abilities.

 

If you continue to argue, you will be escorted to a room with no windows and a single, unbreakable vidscreen.  There you will watch The History of Alpha Complex, narrated by popular Talk Show Host, Teela O'Malley, as many times or as many hours as it takes for you to accept reality.

 

When you have been thoroughly educated, you sign a seemingly never ending stack of paperwork.  The Green clearance bureaucrat then hands you a Mercantile Enterprise (ME) card and a Personal Digital Companion (PDC) and you are sent on your way.  You have 24 hours to assimilate to the Complex before you must report for duty at 0800 hours at Internal Security Headquarters in the IE Sector.

 

Feel free to explore the Complex, but beware!  Traitors are everywhere.


Please post your character name and fandom in the subject line. 
Mingle Together.  Explore Together.  Adventure Together.

"Someone's got to know. You hit them."

Sometimes, a lock pick is best. Other time, it's time to pull out a jackhammer.

"Parker, they brought me here without me knowin' anythin' until I woke up." He lets out a sigh. She's got a brilliant mind. He doesn't understand why, even now, some of these things escape her. "An' we don't know where the hell we even are."

"Haven't you ever woken up without knowing how you got there before?" She sounds disgusted.

"Newbie."

retrieverchef: (angry)

"I make a point not to. And the few times it's happened have never led to good things."

He frowns at her last comment. "Newbie? Really?!"
whosalicewhite: (Eliot whatever)

Parker waves her hand derisively, in a way she picked up from Sophie. "Really," stands by her insult. "It happened to me all the time. It doesn't matter where I wake up." Don't dig too deeply there. It might be far more disturbing than he wants to know.

"It matters how I get out."

He takes a deep breath. It's Parker logic. Even after five years, he can't always make sense of it. "It matters for knowing how to get out, Parker."

"An exit plan doesn't always have to match an entrance plan. That's the kind of thinking that gets people caught."

She can get anywhere, whenever she wants. Wherever she is, it's just geography.

"This ain't about matchin' anythin'. If ya didn't plan your entrance and ya don't know how ya got there, it's harder ta know where ya are and what you're up against."

Geography can be a lot more complicated than what Parker usually has worry about. They haven't even seen the whole complex let alone the terrain outside. There might not be any other civilization for fifty miles or more.
whosalicewhite: (mmmhmmm)

"We'll figure it out. We always do." Her voice lowers conspiratorially. "Just need to figure out what to take with is."

If they're here, they might as well steal some stuff.
