A Brave New World?

sorry that took longer than expected, but its up! A little messy but i will edit it later I just wanted to get it up! Take a little time and play with the environment guys have some fun. Lullyn you can find your way to the lab or we will find our way to the bar. I think I would prefer to hve us all get introduced here. It would go with the theme of the scene. P.S. I am expecting someone to have an interesting contact with a gadget/robot/trap in this scene. You can create your own, or pick something and i will tell you what happens.

A Brave New World?

[Scene 2: A Messy Inroduction] Eric and Bo made their way quitely through the slums, lost in the ambience of muffled house music and squeeling rats. Ignorant of the man shadowing them, close enough to hear but not to be seen. He blended in well enough in his current shabby state. The unknowing trio passed another house of sin. They were like weeds in this place, shrines of hoplessness and vice. A place to forget where you were, whatever the price. It was a sad sight if you were being honest with yourself, Bo and Eric both unconciusly avoided looking that way. If they would have they would have seen a suprising blonde beauty give them an all to calculating look... It was not much farther when Eric turned down a random alley and started fidling with all maner of hidden levers and scanner on a non descript garag door. hidden in plin site by the so called "art work" tagged all over it. "I trust you will be mindful of your suroundings, yes? All that I hold valuable lies in this room. And some of these treassures will bumb you back, should you be so clumsy..." The garage opened to a giant mess of metal, wirs and rust. It was a scrappers dream, an indoor junkyard. Metallic bod parts and plastic faces were scattered about. Small gizmos and gadgets whirled around with no desipherable purpose. A few hovering about Bo as if to see what he was, scannin him with bright blue rays and emitting a multitude of beeps and buzzes. It was a mad house. Plain and simple. This engineer has lost his mind to the slums. Sadly, he wont be the first. Eric walked briskly to a closet on te far side of the room, deftly avoiding obstacles layerd about. It was as if he knew this particular obstacle course like the back of his hand. Once he arrived he quickly stored a briefcase sized bag that was somewhat hidden under his cloak into the closet and closed it securely. Once that was done he hustld to a large workbench seeming to provide some sort of center to this trash heap of a studio. Imersed as he was in his fiddeling it took a polite cough from bo to remind him he was there. "Ah yes!" Eric said brightly, a weight seeming to fall off his shoulders, "Bo!" "Before you get any foolish idea's there are percisely 37 lethal item in this room. Do you understand?" Eric imitated a pause and gave the man a critical gaze before comtinuing wihout a reply. "I just so happen to need a team. I have a plan to get off this planet. A plan for freedom." There was no enthusiam in the engineer's voice. It was the cold resolve of deadly determination.

"The names Borodine but you can call me Bo for short, so Eric what's your story!" Crap, Eric thought to himself, he didn't even ask him for his name. He always thouht he should work on his social skills, but... well whats the point? You dont make friends in the slums, you make aquantances. No one else lasts long. "Nice to meet you... Bo" "Im just a wanna be engineer from the slums, destined to spend my life fixing holophones and projtors..." Eric's voice faded off into silence, a strong tinge of bitterness biting at his words...

Excellent! Im going to give Lullyn some time to post before we move forward.

OK so far so good! lets make time for some of the rest of us to post!

He knows.... Eric's heart leapt to his throat, nearly chocking him. "I.. well um.... I see." Eric shook the man's hand. He knew he couldn't trust someone from the slums, but this guy was persistent. No matter, he had safety measures when he gets back to the lab... "Well follow me and we will see if we can keep from getting into any more trouble..."

I want to try to make this a rapid fire post until we get it started. Just jump in when you want, we should try to quickly reply to anyone dealing directly with your character. As the plot moves forward I may take small liberties to keep everyone's character in the action so to speak. But most of the development in each scene will be up to you guys and I will simply be the highly distracted scientist Eric. This is our first scene: Another nameless street I know this might make for a sometimes jumbled story, but only a few posts and I'm sure you can decipher it. If this story makes decent progress I will make a story section in the first post with everything in order so new comers can get their bearings. The main idea right now is to somehow get affiliated with Eric. He has a way off this rock and you want in...

Eric was taken by complete surprise when the big fellow grabbed him. Maybe in another place and another time Eric would have knocked his hand aside and confront him, but the truth is he is not a fighter and he had used all his adrenaline dealing with the last mugger. "Eric." He said shortly, "and I am by no means interesting." He had to get home, he couldn't risk loosing this device...

I don't mind how many character you have. Just keep them all up to pace. This is typical cyberspace in my imagination. Like laser blaster and what not. But I am leaving it up the my fellow writers to flesh out their own technology. I think everyone knows what kind of tech to expect. If you have an idea for something more... um interesting, just post it here and we will decide if we like it.
