Spring 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...

One book? What book is it?

[Given that she hadn't expected any books here, she shouldn't feel surprised at the number, still it seemed much to small if a library existed. Given her life though and the scarcity of so much, one book would have been a treasure to her.]

Who are the Argii?

[It was a noble effort, but any that could benefit them mutually would be.]

I...I haven't. I haven't touched anything that I didn't understand. Ruins, I am familiar with. A data point? I have never heard of it before.

[beholding_archivist]

It's a copy of the Treasure Planet novel. Mostly defaced. And the Agrii are the ones that brought us here. The data point is... Well. It's a big, floating sphere near the fountain. If you touch it, it will give you all the basic information for this place.

[ He won't mention that it will literally dump all of those right into her head, should she decide to seek it out. ]

There are others around to teach you various skills. This hospital, for example, houses the data point for the medical specialization. Mostly teaching you how to use some of the equipment here in the hospital.

[ Of which a lot is broken down and useless by now. ]

Touch it? [She wasn't exactly thrilled with that idea. With so much new technology that she didn't understand, there was a chance she could touch the wrong thing or mistakenly do something she shouldn't. Everything seemed so precarious to her unfamiliar mind, as though it might all collapse if she pulled a lever or pushed a button wrong.] Will you show me when you have the time?

[Yes. It was better to watch and learn by example rather than flail madly about.]

It seems that we have a great deal of time on our hands in these ruins. At least we have a means to make ourselves useful.
