Summer Test Drive Meme!

[trpmods]

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...

[ Oh, Jon very much agrees on the superiority of digital archives. And if all the broken data spheres he cleared out of this building are any indication, then the Agrii certainly used to store their information in some sort of digital means. And now all that data is lost, with no physically written copies remaining. Which in turn makes the Archivist miss the presence of actual books. Heck, he even wouldn't have minded scrolls or even stone tablets if necessary. Anything but knowing everything has been lost.

But those musings aren't important at the moment and Jon tilts his head at the young woman to offer a more appropriate greeting. ]

Jonathan Sims. I... I assume the data point provided you with the basics of your presence here.

[ Again, not a question. Though there are plenty Jon could be asking. Questions she couldn't answer, however. ]

Yes, but I'm still curious as to why I was brought here. This isn't a planet I recall seeing in the maps of the known universe. Something like this Agra 10 would have definitely been something my crew and I would have taken a look at to see if we could help.

[But that might be getting ahead of herself a little. Pidge just sighs softly and takes a look once more around the library.]

I'm assuming what I saw from the data point that we're here to fix things. I guess my question would be is where should I start? There's a lot I know how to do that could help.
