The flashing light flickered one more time before shutting down completely, it's seeming determination finally giving up the inexorable battle against a draining battery. With all signs of life depleted, the sign would slowly fall towards the surface of the planet, another piece of debris to fall back to a planet's surface.

That however wasn't what concerned Ragmir, he'd been a researcher stationed on that damned planet once and he knew how underfunded everything was down there. It was at the edge of the empire, by the Builders! No one visited, or at least when someone did they didn't have much cash to burn, so a single satellite going down wasn't really that big of a deal. No, what really made him worry was that this was the last satellite going offline.

There'd been no distress signal, nothing to indicate any power failings or attacks ... In fact he was actually just returning after 15 years away to catch up with all the researchers he'd left behind after finally getting a promotion to somewhere actually civilised. In all this time he'd always receive updates, small back and forths with ex-colleagues and never had any of them mentioned it closing, in fact they'd been really excited about discoveries of late. Even with the underfunding there'd been no corporate order to leave, in fact the research was still going strong, or at least as strong as it always had been.

That this was all some sort of elaborate prank had crossed his mind, but ... to shut off everything? They didn't have the funding to replace all this, surely it couldn't be that!

If he was gonna find out what was going on down there, he was gonna need help. The insectoid just hoped that he could find some in time.

Hey thanks for checking this rp idea out. I'm going for a kinda typical fun sci-fi action/adventure story here, with a couple of added extras. The majority of the plot will take place on the research base or beneath the waves below it so I hope you enjoy water. Its got an atmosphere of something close to subnautica crossed with Aliens (only without the instant slaughter of half the team within minutes of touchdown) There'll be time for some character development, as well as plenty of action scenes once the threat really gets going.

The idea for your characters would be people at a local station who were interested by the money (or simply the adventure) and responded to Ragmir's distress call

Especially since this is my first one that I've GMed in a while, I'm not going to go too heavily into the rules. Just if making a sci-fi race for this, make sure it's not too powerful, I will be checking through on any applications to make sure they're reasonably balanced. Especially for the later stages.

If people are interested I'll get to setting up a CS and Discord to further discuss. I hope you enjoyed the pitch. Feel free to drop me a PM too if you have any questions

Definitely interested!

I have a few ideas for a character to float you, later (work), but I doubt there should be any serious issues.
>x<

<3 the idea of Subnautica elements, though I've never actually played the games.

@Lumiere Excellent! I'll be happy to have you onboard!

And yeah I love Subnautica, all the way it builds up suspense are so masterful. (That and I love the sea anyway and a sci-fi ocean? Even better) Lots of exploration of the depths and creatures lurking just beyond sight. As well as very pretty sea creatures too

Allllright, seems like an interesting little mystery to explore! Did you have any post-minimum/rate in mind for this setting? Outside of that, happy to be here, and I look forward to the RP. ^_^)

@Virgil Thanks ^^, I'm glad you're interested in it. Some mystery and action with little dashes of underwater horrror

As for post rate, I was in part waiting to see what would be best for the players once I managed to gather some. I would usually go at least once a week, but I know I have a little bit more free time than others might so I wanna see what people think there.

@Rina Daltis Much obliged! That seems like a pretty good baseline idea though, and we'll see soon enough!

A few updates - the first being the CS!



The second being a few extra bits of information. Starting with my discord: Sir Hawke#4666 , I'm usually quite active there so if people want to chat to me easier that is the place to go. Some additional information with this being that the adventure will start with the crew in orbit decending down towards the planet which they will get to explore, discovering the threats and mapping out the locations as they go.

There will be plenty of time should people want it for character development and exploration into new facities to face new creatures and threats.

@Rina Daltis Simple CSes are my friend! ^_^) I'll be sending along a request on Discord 'cause it's easier to keep up-to-date on there than it is reloading pages here, although it looks like the pace'll be fairly laid back regardless, which I'm also a fan of! Looking forward to future updates as they come along.

Hey folks, just popping in to say that I'll be dropping out of this idea to pursue a greater passion of mine - I've decided I'm gonna take the plunge and finally start working on seriously designing an indie-game from the ground up! Given I already spend quite a few hours every day just practicing the process, I'm kiiiinda doubtful that I'd be able to multitask this and classwork and that all simultaneously >_). Therefore, I wish you both Good Luck and Great Fun! Take it easy!

Totally understand. Take it easy.

Hmm...
