Pretty insane to bring back a ten-month-old RP idea ahahaha

I haven't read the Alloy of Law series actually, and my memory of Mistborn is a bit rusty.... but this could sound very fun haha
Inside a large office whose walls held large monitors with different feeds of camera footage all over the UNARM facility, men and women worked relentless, eyeing different areas of interest, altercations, changes to environment, and attitude-shifts within their personnel. It seemed that no matter how hard they worked, under pay-check or under fear from Big Boss, it would prove impossible to a highly-skilled Agent.

The office had two floors, the upper deck sloped slightly that gave the room the look of an arena that angled towards the oval centre, and the massive, main viewing screen. Orders, confirmations, and reconfirmations, along with the cacophonous sounds of keyboard-clicking, coffee-slurping, grunts, and even snoring from the one trying to sneak a few minutes’ sleep, sounded throughout the busy place.

One man who looked in his late 60’s but was in his early 30’s slaved away looking at camera footage of areas he didn’t even know existed, relying solely on a reference guide next to him, referring to obscure sector, area, tunnel, and door codes. This surveillance office was by far the most populated, but it still took a stressful toll on the people in it.

‘I think I got something!’ the man reported to the large assembly, almost wheezing in joyful relief. ‘Uploading footage to the main screen.’

The main screen showed a group of soldiers confronting a lone soldier. The lone soldier walked away before the group could reply and went on their way.

The person in charge of the surveillance office barked orders: ‘Contact Captain Shwartz, ask if he recognizes that man. Everyone else, start looking at footage in a 5-block circumference from this point of origin. This could be our target.’

‘Captain Shwartz says he has never seen that man, though he’s not sure with the new recruits – he said the man claimed to be an Agent.’

Another woman cried out: ‘Ran facial recognition with our personnel database – this person does not exist.’

The PIC barked: ‘That’s our rogue agent!’

The room immediately went into a frenzy, delivering orders to nearby dispatched units near the area. The noise was unbearable but one sentence stood out:

‘…. shoot on sight. I repeat: shoot on sight.’

It's like an average 33-34°C at the moment...

I know it's probably hotter elsewhere, but the fact of the matter is it's still uncomfortably hot even comparatively =/
:D my god it's hot here in HK
‘You don’t “really” have an assigned post? Son, I thought we beat that liveliness out of newbies like you on Day One,’ the captain barked.

One of the soldiers jeered at disguised-Agent Caits and teased at her: ‘Wipe that faggot smile of your face, man. Shit’s embarrassing.’

The other soldiers laughed with him when the captain cried: ‘Shut up!’

‘You,’ he pointed at disguised-Agent Caits, ‘Look, we don’t have time for this. We’re headed to the exit teams as well. Communication’s all gone to hell and back, but we’re doing the same thing. Come with us.’

The soldier that jeered earlier, though ready to set off to their destination, gestured a curious look at disguised-Agent Caits, and asked:

‘Say, cap – why don’t you ask him who’s his captain?’

The captain turned and looked at the soldier, then to Caits: ‘Well, who is it?’
Yes, hahaha. Sorry if I wasn't clear. I gave the area Caits was going to a vague description because even I don't know where that is hahaha.

Anyway, one more thing: could you please help to keep time now? :)

Dr Jiang-Ping left the warehouse, nodding in affirmation to the assembled team outside. She rubbed on her aching shoulder that dislodged when she collapsed to the ground earlier. She’d feared that some of her nerves were trapped when they lodged the joint back in, which is why the recovery would be slow.

She made her way to see Big Boss to see what she should do. For all intents and purposes, research should and ought to continue but with so many resources dedicated to securing the two Subjects and finding Agent Caits, everything just became very clumsy and difficult.

Right at the strike of six, all exits would be sealed completely by steel gates, essentially making the UNARM facility impregnable and inescapable. Any attempt to scale the giant crater wall to the outside would be spotted and thwarted simply by the sheer size of the obstacle the Agent would have to overcome.

When the doctor finally got to talk to Big Boss after a seemingly endless crowd being assigned their duties, he commanded Dr Jiang-Ping:

‘Keep an eye on both our Subjects. Maintain regular contact with the team monitoring 30….

and monitor the anaesthetic levels for 29.’


‘Sir, the paralytic liquid is designed to subdue even the strongest-willed. The amount we’re using could subdue two raging rhinoceros. Plus, the liquid is non-harmful, there is no way she could get hurt.’

‘How well do we really understand her abilities? Her written suggested that she has a weak will. She would not be able to handle the pressure and stress of being a lawyer of a prestigious law firm.

No. I believe her abilities extend far from just pain empowerment. I believe there is something more.’


Shaking her head in disapproval, and preparing to submit her rebuttal, she was interrupted with a message from her tablet:

‘Doctor. We need you quick. Subject 29 just moved.’




In her deep sleep, she could still dream. She could not move nor breathe, but she retained a slight consciousness that forbade her from thinking or being recognizant but she could dream.

Her dreams were of the same creature – no, were of her true, inner, evil self.

Just with that, as she panicked and suffered, she could feel herself move just the slightest. The briefest moments of consciousness made her realize she was submerged in a tank of liquid being watched, but she would then go back to her slumber.

More complications like this were to come the longer she stayed in this state.




A small unit of eight soldiers, the tallest and oldest their squad leader, jogged their way to the middle of the big lane that covered multiple tunnels. Off to his peripheral vision, the leader spotted a soldier walking towards them. The leader approached him and barked orders:

‘Hey, son! Where’s your assignment?’
sorry for my delayed responses

I tend to get carried away, trying to think of what to write when I then start to think several chapters ahead haha

Then I might change the wording

from dawn to dusk

Lockdown will be issued by dusk, so when the sun sets at 6 pm or something, no one leaves or comes in except for those reinforcements.
I'll write a post soon, but I was hoping you could elaborate on what you took from the armoury - it'll help so that you know your own limits when fighting later on. We wouldn't like to have Caits have a seemingly infinite supply of weapons stored surreptitiously on her body hahaha!

This is exciting.

What time should we make it be in IC currently? Lockdown is at dawn... so...
