The RPG Facebook group is absolutely pitiful hahaha
@Caits

I'll do some research then hahhaa

In the mean time, as you wait, think about how you, as the stereotypical obsessive crazy scientist, will deal with Codey. Will you lock him in a room? Prevent contact with others? Codey is a lot less dangerous than Gershwin at the moment

It'll be a plot point later where Codey finds Gershwin's room, but only if Codey can move around. As you said, friendliness :)
Very good job :)

Some characters may come and go, but I think I can see a clear personality trait for the Chief Scientist; a bit obsessive, crazy, psychotic, amoral.

What do you think? I want to see some sort of development for him since he will be the one literally picking us apart.
File 3 and 4, not 1 and 2 ;)

30(1), as well, for the Analysis. I will update mine as well to 29(1)

Sorry for being so picky :(
I will be fleshing out the details of Gershwin's craze in my next post, probably

:)

You will be Number 30 on the list, just to make sure.

Part 1 - Chapter 1 - Conformity and The Weird


The window view to the office showed the side of a mountain – the Eastern face of a crater so impossibly high, or impossibly deep as a result of a meteorite crash aeons ago. The outpost provided suitable coverage from radio frequency and from plain-sight; they were practically invisible. A tunnel was bored from the South face of the crater, its road connecting to an intricate network of roads in the encampment within. A side-road – a vein, if you will – connected the office to the central headquarters – the heart of the facility. This sector was Logistics.

Daily Report #200


The target was Gershwin May. Despite her prominence amongst the law and school community, extraction was supposed to be procedural and swift – many political figures alike have suffered a similar fate in the past and this should not have been any more difficult.

Extraction, however, proved difficult. Orders were given to exercise extreme caution, with our intelligence officers warning of avoiding direct confrontation at all costs and “making sure we do not injure her.”

Tranquilizer darts, heavy nets, and smokescreen grenades were prepared for the objective. Our sniper had secured a high-ground spot to fire the tranquilizer dart. It was due to force majeure – a shift in clouds letting the sunlight reflect from the sniper rifle’s lens – that the target was able to move away. The dart grazed her arm: the worst case scenario had come to be.

We incurred severe public property and personal and tactical equipment damage. Many ground team soldiers were injured, and there were 12 casualties – 5 of which were pedestrians.

Analysis Report – Subject 29(1)


Huge progress will be made now with the successful capture of Gershwin May.

Our previous 28 subjects are all deceased. Our research methods have always been for the sake of progress and our goal was always to understand these… higher beings. Because of their endowment we were never going to be certain what their limits were, how much we can exert, how much we can really find out about them.

Now with Gershwin… we may finally unlock the secret to these beings.

The only reason we were given this opportunity was because of the limits of the Subject’s condition:

We were fearful that the tranquilizer dart was going to work in the first place. It was in fact serendipitous that the sniper had missed – I am never going to complain about cloudy days ever again. Field reports showed that upon the ground team entering Gershwin’s room, a faint red glow emanated from where the dart had grazed her.

She literally clawed her way through the heavy nets fired at her. Weapons went live and she was absolutely riddled with bullet-holes and she went down. However, as extrapolated from the soldiers’ radio-logs, she got back up ‘like a fucking zombie, man.’ It was after she had evaded (‘fought her way through’ cannot describe the unspeakable damage she did) the ground-team, running ‘like fucking Usain Bolt’ into the forest that Air recon found her, collapsed, unconscious, and the wounds she had sustained that would have killed 20 humans over had healed dramatically.

The reported damage and casualties prove one hypothesis: that Gershwin May is empowered by her wounds – perhaps through her pain. Projections predict her enhanced strength allowed her to lift 25 tons, run at 80 kilometres per hour. After a period of ‘Craze’, she settles down into unconsciousness to rest and heal. The faint red glow is linked to how her wounds do not kill her immediately and miraculously imbues her with abilities.

Further research is required. She is now held in constraints so strict and tough, it would give Houdini a run for his money. Any pain whatsoever must be prevented, but pain has to be administered to study her. This will prove difficult.

But science will prevail.

I hope you get the idea of how I want us to post for the early parts.

Just... follow my lead :)
My picture is huge, I know. XD
