MISSION ONE: THE TIME MACHINE


MISSION LOGS
MISSION ONE: THE TIME MACHINE

OBJECTIVES


The machine has malfunctioned, resulting in the random splintering of individuals across time and across the vast expanse of possible realities. Each person pulled has subsequently been recruited temporarily until a solution to return them home has been reached.

The first mission is simple: return to the last splinter point the machine reached and retrace the steps of the team to locate any temporal anomalies and record them. Record anything strange or out of the ordinary for missions. The year is 1993, and you are going native.

In the 'present', the team should begin a physical document mapping out where the new recruits come from and try to determine if splintering back is possible with their current technology.

OUTCOMES


Characters will have experience using the time machine and players will have chance to explore the past or explore the facility in the 'present'.

A brief comprehensive idea of where everyone comes from should be starting to form, with Dr. Jones conducting individual interviews. You can be as vague about your characters personal circumstances as you like, as Dr. Jones will be more interested in the world itself, the year and will make quick character judgement's based on the conversation itself. At the end of the mission, characters should be starting to form connections, however small or significant.

SETTINGS

1993


Before you leave, you will be interviewed by Dr. Jones. This can be hand waved for inconvenience. She will ask you only the most pertinent questions: your name, your age, the year you are from. She will ask for as in depth description of your world that you can provide. If you want to elaborate on your personal circumstances, you can. If not, that's fine too.

Before you leave, normal protocol takes place. The machine will be explained to you, as will the injections required before hand. The machine itself is dangerous, but the danger of being catapulted across reality again is 0.000001%. Reassuring in every way, of course. You will travel to 1993, Seattle. The only relevant information about this previous mission is the places the team were and anything odd they can recall. You will, however, be free to explore the State and note anything odd.

There will be vague temporal anomalies, but nothing big enough to cross the multiverse.

PROJECT SPLINTER INTEL GATHERING


Interviews conducted by Dr. Jones are mandatory. Until you complete it, you will be held in the brigg quarters which, compared to the rest of the facility, is hugely uncomfortable. It is the same process as above. In turn, Dr. Jones will brief you on the current state of this world. She will only share relevant and confirmed information.

After you're done, you are free to also share these experiences with the new 'volunteers. '

EXPLORING YOUR SURROUNDINGS


The obligatory wild card. Explore the facility. The rooms, the kitchens, the shower rooms. Head up to the roof and look upon the vast wasteland that has become of the world. Do whatever you want!

That's nice, honey.

[ She opens her hand, then gestures a come on. ]

Give it to me.

[Sweet baby jesus. Truly, this is the first time his patience has been tested since he ended up getting shanked by all those cult nutjobs at Titan. This feelsfar more invasive, since they at least never tried to mind control him. So he does the mature thing, which is to not only keep the bottles, but to deliberately maintain eye contact while weaving around the room picking up every other bottle. One by one, and then with a crooked smile, he starts for the door.]

No candy for bad children. See ya, crazy.

[Does he intend to take them all to his bunk??? You bet??? Will he make it???? Tune in at 11 to find out.]
corruptions: (093)

[personal profile] corruptions 2017-07-12 09:51 pm (UTC)(link)
Why are you such a little bitch? Learn to share!

[ She's walking after him, then by his side, and manages to snatch a bottle or two. Mine mine mine ]
westvii: (( 010. ))

[personal profile] westvii 2017-07-13 09:23 am (UTC)(link)
[She gets to keep the bottle, because to take it back would sacrificing the rest to the ground. One for the many, as he's learned here.] I share with nice people. [Nice-ish people.] Not hyped up preteens.
corruptions: (012)

[personal profile] corruptions 2017-07-13 09:09 pm (UTC)(link)
Then you're stupid. On both accounts. But thanks for saying I look younger.

[ now fuck you ]
westvii: (( 003. ))

[personal profile] westvii 2017-07-13 10:20 pm (UTC)(link)
You look twelve.

[First of all. ] Can you quite following me? It's real creepy.
corruptions: (085)

[personal profile] corruptions 2017-07-13 10:47 pm (UTC)(link)
Then you've been threatening a twelve-year old all night? You're a fucking pervert, man.

Also: nah.
westvii: (( 007. ))

[personal profile] westvii 2017-07-13 10:51 pm (UTC)(link)
[This is punishment for all the bad stuff he's done in life. It's finally happening. ]

-- Anyway, this is me. [His little safe haven, at last. ] Nice talk. Make sure you're in bed before your curfew, Barbie.
corruptions: (013)

[personal profile] corruptions 2017-07-14 10:12 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Yes. ]

I can't believe you're hitting on me.

[ She waits for him to walk in. ]
westvii: (( 005. ))

[personal profile] westvii 2017-07-14 10:19 pm (UTC)(link)
You're really not my type.

[He's going in, and if he's lucky, kicking the door closed behind him. ]
corruptions: (083)

[personal profile] corruptions 2017-07-14 10:29 pm (UTC)(link)
[ He's lucky all right, because Petra kicks it right open before it hits the frame. ]

You're not my type either.

[ sits on his bed. drinks up. ]
westvii: (Default)

[personal profile] westvii 2017-07-15 05:45 am (UTC)(link)
God, is nowhere sacred anymore?

[Petra ..... why] Please go.
corruptions: (013)

[personal profile] corruptions 2017-07-15 12:46 pm (UTC)(link)
[ 1. Gag reflex, 2. Massive burp. ]

Whew! Excuse me. [ Even though it was his fault for saying 'god'. ] The answer is no. To everything that you said.
westvii: (Default)

[personal profile] westvii 2017-07-15 09:45 pm (UTC)(link)
[gross]

Isn't there someone else you can go bother? Someone, I don't know, also twelve?
corruptions: (086)

[personal profile] corruptions 2017-07-16 12:13 am (UTC)(link)
Maybe, but I haven't found them yet. Hey, d'you think there are rules about getting kids drunk?
westvii: (( 004. ))

[personal profile] westvii 2017-07-16 12:25 am (UTC)(link)
Yes. Which is why I'm telling you to go.

[Why, specifically, this? He's holding onto his bottles, though. Dedicated to the cause. ]
corruptions: (093)

[personal profile] corruptions 2017-07-16 12:49 am (UTC)(link)
Shut the fuck up, you actual pussy, I'll go where the bottles go.
westvii: (( 014. ))

[personal profile] westvii 2017-07-16 09:41 am (UTC)(link)
[He is not so taken aback by the language itself, but that someone would ever call him an actual pussy. He's offended, frankly, enough so that his bottles are deposited less than carefully on the little arm chair he's claimed as his own, and a hand is placed over his heart. It's all sort if in jest, even the affronted look on his face, but he's spent so much time around doctors that he can't remember the last time anyone straight up spoke his language.

So fine, he decides. He's not even a particularly good guy anyway.]
Okay, here's the deal. We're gonna play a game, and if you puke by the end of it, you get no bottles, and the nice man outside with the gun is gonna carry you back to your bunk. Got it?
corruptions: (087)

[personal profile] corruptions 2017-07-16 11:40 am (UTC)(link)
[ She looks like she'd been waiting to produce this exact smile since he first challenged her bratty attitude. He's got good reason to be confident, what with Petra having gagged a couple of times by now. ]

There's a nice man outside with a gun? Is he hot?
westvii: (( 009. ))

[personal profile] westvii 2017-07-16 11:53 am (UTC)(link)
Again: ew.

[Does he look like he has time to oggle men with guns? Really?]
corruptions: (085)

[personal profile] corruptions 2017-07-16 12:28 pm (UTC)(link)
So that's a no. Oh, well.

[ Another swig. What were they talking about again? ]
westvii: (Default)

[personal profile] westvii 2017-07-16 02:57 pm (UTC)(link)
Why don't you go see for yourself.

[Please. Go. See. ]
corruptions: (Default)

[personal profile] corruptions 2017-07-16 03:23 pm (UTC)(link)
But we haven't even played yet.
westvii: (( 002. ))

[personal profile] westvii 2017-07-16 03:57 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, you were listening. Good.

[Bad, no good, terrible. ] You played never have I ever? It was huge when I was kid. You drink if you've done something.
