Welcome to the Current Test Drive for The Revival Project!

This game is a spin-off from the closed The Drift Fleet game. For more information about the game, including more details on the setting, please check out the FAQ here or the premise here.

A thread on the TDM will be required for all applications. Please view the FAQ for information about how this works. Any questions about the game please direct to the comment section of the FAQ as well.

If you are a Drift Fleet alumni bringing your character from the game, please label your character as 'DFAU' on your top level. Also, keep in mind you have complete flexibility on how your character comes here. They could be taken before endgame, after endgame, two years after, one year before, etc. It's up to you! If you want to completely restart your character, they're not considered DFAU anymore and won't need the label.

So go! Explore Agra 10! And, as always, HAVE FUN!

Thread ideas:

- Explore the city! There's a map here and a bit more description of some of the buildings here. Most of the buildings are run down and have clearly been abandoned for years; fortunately, the water treatment center appears to be working, but power is intermittent and unreliable. The hotel seems to be the most crowded, but you might want into what appears to be an abandoned storefront and find someone else scavenging or even sleeping.

- There are spaceships! That's right, there are currently several small spaceships grounded in the hangar. They appear to have power, but only one ship will let you enter. (For test drive purposes, the ship that will let you enter is up to you, so just pick whichever name appeals, and go for it!) The other ships won't open for you, but it might be worth poking around the one that will...

- Do you hear a storm? A giant, power-altering storm has been ravaging part of the planet for a month. It shows ghosts of people you know and those you don't. It drains you of any super-human abilities and tries its best to keep you from getting to its origin. Are you going to try anyways? Or are you going to chase the whispers of people from your past? More information can be found here.

- Can you hear me now? Upon arrival, your character will have on their person a small, handheld communications device. Maybe they know exactly how to use a computer, smartphone, or tablet, and immediately blast out a text or video trying to figure out what's going on. Or maybe they're not so tech-savvy after all, and everyone is about to get a lovely shot right up your character's left nostril.

- Wildcard! You're welcome to use any previous test drive scenarios or previous game events as a basis for a thread/situation, or simply make up your own! Keep in mind that you're currently stranded on a planet with only basic necessities, but there is enough food and fresh water. Creature comforts, however, seem to be distinctly lacking...

[ Now this is... Promising. Introducing yourself outright as God of Mischief sure isn’t going to earn any caution. But this is Jon, who is... Bound. To have questions. ]

Right. Loki. Trickster god and all that... Right.

So. I’m Jonathan Sims and, yes. I’m from Earth. One version of it. London, specifically. And While I’m familiar enough with Norse Mythology... Well. Let’s say it has never been something I ever truly dove into. I wouldn’t mind some... Actual stories, however. If you don’t mind making a contribution to the library.

[Loki positively beams.]

You wish to add my tales to your library, where countless others will hear of them and know of whence they came? I would be most pleased to contribute. I might even be able to provide visual illustrations to accompany the words.

I very much do.

[ Jon gives a simple nod. ]

The library of this place has been in ruins. All its content destroyed. So far I have cleaned the place up and am working on acquiring and recording content for it. About this planet as well as those brought here by the Agrii to serve as reference for them as well as us. You have stories to tell that can be a worthy addition to what I am working on rebuilding.

Their library was destroyed? What a devastating loss. [Though he says it somewhat more condescendingly than genuinely sympathetic.]

Well. I would be most pleased to help you rebuild their collection, assuming of course that my contributions would be properly attributed.

[ The Archivist notices the tone, yet refrains from commenting on it. ]

It's certainly a loss that makes rebuilding this city notably harder. Any knowledge the Agrii had about their own planet is lost.

[ And he leaves it to the Asgardian to draw the consequences from that. ]

And of course every piece that finds its place in here gets credited accordingly.

[That hits Loki a bit harder.]

So they are building up from nothing? Have they preserved anything of their own, or are they solely accepting what us outsiders can give them to replace what they lost?

Everything we know, we know from the data points that were left by the Agrii. And to be fair, communicating with them is... Difficult. They have no written language of their own and their messages feel as if we are interacting with little children. They may not be used to actively use any language in general.

One of my goals is also to educate them. And find a way for us to efficiently communicate with the Agrii.

[Condescension is gone, replaced with actual sympathy.]

What an unfortunate situation. I wish you, and them, all the fortune in your endeavors. And I will help.

[ Should Jon tell him that he hardly has a choice? Well... No. ]

The help will be appreciated. Though I'm surprised that the Agrii can even bring gods here. That's... A little worrisome.

[Probably for the best. Loki does not react well when he's told he has no choice.]

Indeed. Particularly if they are as child-like as you say. Have you worked with them directly much?

Unfortunately not. During my stay the most we received were a few messages.

[ Though he sure is hoping for a chance to communicate with them. ]
