SUMMER TEST DRIVE MEME
Application FAQ | Taken Characters | Reserves | Application

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!

Summer in Temba and Sh'Ka

Summer is a growing season, which seems to be going into overdrive this year. Instead of the gradual growth of plants that one might expect over the seasons, plants are starting to grow with an intense energy, and once clear paths in both cities grow choked over with vines, undergrowth, and even new saplings by the day. It might be wise to find some way to clear those paths as you go.

For those that are in a more summer and sun kind of fun, there's always the beach to the south of Temba, where the sand and surf welcome all comers. However here too there is a lot of growth going on, with new reeds and shore grasses rising up, serving as a great place for fat green lobsters to hide and pinch at the unwary.

Or maybe it's better to explore the buildings these days, with how the plants have taken over everything. However one might well find that less commonly used buildings and ruins have their own plant problems. Some are overgrown with fruitbearing vines, and others filled with wide swaths of various forms of mint. Good news there is that the glownies seem to have gotten free, or others have arrived, to feast upon the mintsplosion.

Explore the city Temba!

Here's a map of Temba 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. What used to be stores or places to live in lies in ruins, but there may still be something to scavenge among the rubble. Do you want to risk a swim in the flooded area that has turned into a deep lake that has yet to be fully explored; or does it draw you to some of the more prominent and partially restored buildings, such as the hotel, the hospital or the amphitheater.

If you are lucky, you might even stumble over The Deep End, the bar located on one of the mid-levels of the tower residences in one of the residence towers. Unfortunately no bright neon signs can lead you there, but it does exist.

Visit the spaceships!

That's right, there are currently several small spaceships sitting in the hangar. Not all of them may be around when you check out the building, as one of the pilots may be using one of them to fly over to Sh'Ka. But there should still enough of them around for you to inspect and maybe wonder about. However, only one of them will open its doors for you. Do you dare to step inside? Check out the protein paste or maybe even meet one of your crew mates?

Try the network!

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.

There be storms...

These power-altering storms keep ravaging parts of the planet every once in a while. No one truly knows where they come from or what to do about them yet, but one of them appears to be approaching. You have the option to find shelter in one of the buildings to wait for it to pass. Unless, of course, you rather feel drawn to investigate.

Should you step inside the storm, or even get lost in it, it will show 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? Maybe you will simply find yourself calling for help or stumble across another lost soul in need of assistance.

More information can be found here.

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. Quite unlike a gathering of potentially dangerous creatures to encounter. The setting is yours to explore and have fun with!

Felwinter shook his head. "Unless I am mistaken to assume you are from Earth, I also come from Earth, albeit a likely different version than what you know. It is like that with many here."

Tucking his helmet under an arm, he was reluctant to offer a shrug. "I don't know what the qualifications are. You are hardly the youngest to have been brought here, however."

[alwayssomethingtolearn]

There's a thought, a sudden frightening thought. How much did the Agrians really know about her? Not anything that they appeared to be advertising, but even so. "There are even younger? Thankfully there do seem to be adults as well," a grateful nod given back to Felwinter as she buried that fear. "I have consistently earned the highest scores at my school," said in all earnestness and totally not boasting, nope, "But if they had waited after I earned a doctorate I could've been of a much greater help. In any case, I do wish to help as best I can."

[tyrants_son]

That was something even Felwinter had to wonder, although he suspected it wasn't solely the Agrii they had to be concerned about in that regard. It was worrying but maybe not something to further trouble a girl who'd not been here too long, at least just yet.

"Wanting to help is sufficient enough, and I'm sure it will be quite appreciated."

[alwayssomethingtolearn]

"I'll do my best," said earnestly despite all that gnawing fears. She has to be brave. Everyone back home is depending on her. "Is there any place you recommend I could start?"

[tyrants_son]

Felwinter gave it some thought. He'd certainly say she was brave for being so accepting of this predicament. Turning, he pointed out towards the fountain of the city square.

"I would suggest you get yourself settled in first. There is a hotel just past the fountain where you likely first arrived. After that, well, any little bit helps. Asking others would probably be best, although I think the areas that always benefit for more people would be the greenhouse, the diner, or someone with medical knowledge."

[alwayssomethingtolearn]

Its those last words that bring a pop to Ami's already wide eyes. "I don't have that much medical knowledge, not yet, but I would love to learn to help! I do want to grow up to be a doctor!" Just like her mom.

... Oh.

Trying not to let that thought bring her down, there's a nod, "Thank you, I'll start there."

[tyrants_son]

"Here you will likely get your chance to learn," Felwinter said with a nod. There seemed few enough people who possessed the medical data point or even general knowledge.

He nodded again at Ami's thanks, having little else to say, pleased he could at least give her some direction.

[alwayssomethingtolearn]

He did have a point. Things she could learn here would be helpful back home as well. That brightened her spirits a bit more, and she bowed respectfully. "Thank you again, I hope to see you again soon." With that, she heads back towards the square to see where she can start helping.

And maybe where she can start helping in other ways.
