Alpha Complex Test Drive Meme

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.

Scenario One
Your character has been accused of treason!

Whether the accusation is true or not, you are a wanted citizen!  Do you turn yourself over to IntSec (Internal Security) for questioning?  Do you make a run for it and go AWOL?  Will you fight for your right to exist or hole up somewhere safe until the chaos passes?  Do you become The Fugitive and try to prove your innocence?  Or are you guilty as hell and seeking help from friends or other parties who would be willing to assist you for a price? 

Beware of the security cameras everywhere - some of which actually work - and being spotted by citizens who might be willing to turn you in to gain points with The Computer or to prove their own loyalty.

Scenario Two
Your character has been given the mission to hunt down a traitor!

It is your job to hunt down and apprehend the traitor by any means necessary.  If you fail or refuse, you might be accused of being a traitor yourself.  It doesn't matter if the person you are hunting is innocent or had good reasons for their treason.  It doesn't matter if their crime was major or some minor form of treason, Friend Computer wants their head.  You have twenty four hours to complete your mission.

Please post your character name and fandom in the subject line.
Work Together. Turn On Each Other. Survive.

What the hell is that nois-- oh.

He'd momentarily forgotten about the communication gadget, tucked away safely into a jacket pocket. As quiet as the vibration is (in contrast to the shrill tones of ones he remembers from various missions in Europe), hearing any kind of sound while he's trying to sneak silently through unfamiliar territory is still startling. His heart rate speeds up for a few seconds before Bucky pulls the device out with his flesh hand and stares at it.

There's probably some sort of tracker hidden inside. If he answers, someone will be able to pinpoint his location. Assuming they haven't already and are playing some twisted game of cat and mouse. But if he doesn't answer, he doesn't get answers. And those would be nice about now. Decisions, decisions.

Fuck it. "Yes?" Sergeant Barnes Home for Wayward Assassins, how can he help you?

"Oh-" And then just complete silence for one, two, three seconds before: "Oh my god. I didn't think you'd actually pick up." The voice on the line is a woman's, and she's clearly a little flustered at the moment.

"Is this ... James?" Said like she had to find his name in a list, and then just read whatever the first word was off that line on the page. "My name is Felicity Smoak. I know we've never met, but I can help you."

He can hear her typing, frantically, on her keyboard. "You're in the NE section of Armed Services. That's actually kind of terrible." Frack she said that out loud. "But if you can take a left at the next intersection, open the first door on your right. It should be unlocked."

Her directions, if he chose to follow them, should lead him to an empty maintenance closet.

There's silence on his end for a moment, followed by a low snort of -- something close to laughter. If you blend film noir with a bag of nails and aged whiskey.

"Isn't that what you're supposed to do with phones?" He looks around casually, noting visibly cameras in the hallway he's currently loitering. "Yeah, I ... James'll do."

God this is bizarre. Like one of those science fiction movies people keep telling him to watch. Or fantasy, like the little guy who takes on a dragon with a wizard. Or the little girl who kills a witch with water. He's been informed those are just glitches, but they seem real. Maybe that's why he's a traitor. (Or the rules. He read those.)

"Okay, Felicity Smoak. I hope you're not leading me into a trap." Because neither of them will enjoy that. But he follows directions, because why not. And she sounds cute. (Never let it be said he didn't do as a dame asked.) When he makes it to said door, and slips inside, the whole 'trap' part sounds more plausible than it might have a few minutes before. "Am I just supposed to wait here and get caught, lady?"

As far as plans go, that one sucks.
