>>>>>>>>LOOK! AN OOC!<<<<<<<<
Four Towers is a sprawling underground exotic research facility located in a Cincinnati, Ohio, United States, suburb. Its real name and employer are lost; instead, the facility is known by the only above-ground structures: four squat watertower-like ventilation and elevator shafts arranged in a perfect rectangle. Even the employees don't know who really hired them, and they've been paid to forget the question. Research is conducted towards the nature of dark matter, possible psychic and ethereal phenomena, applications of theoretical physics, and even genetic and viral engineering to unprecedented effects.
All of this, of course, goes drastically wrong over the course of five days. The incidenct starts on Thursday, July 18th, steadily grows disastrous over the weekend, and ends in the wholesale destruction of the facility and a 5-mile quarantine zone. Survivors are rumored to roam the hills and nearby river, however, these rumors have been strongly discouraged.
Think Half-Life's Black Mesa Research Facility, Portal's Aperture Science Enrichment Center, Resident Evil's Umbrella Corporation secret labs, the facility from The Island, or the facility from Dollhouse. Basically, a sprawling, secret, underground, this-can't-possibly-go-wrong Science complex. It is, of course, doomed.
This isn't a "stop the horrible scenario from happening" RP, this is a "survive the horrible scenario"/"die spectacularly" kind of RP. You'll be playing a band of survivors - scientists, assistants, security, office workers, maybe an administrator or two, or possibly even a VIP. Your first post will be meeting up in a small supply closet somewhere buried deep in the facility.
Inside the closet are janitorial supplies, one gun (nobody knows how it got there, but everyone has their own suspicions) with a full magazine of 12 shots, a crumpled ten dollar bill, a box of seven flashlights with batteries, office supplies, a bloody pen next to a piece of paper with "Cha" written on it, a crowbar, a screwdriver, and a bloody SD memory card.
