Spring Test Drive Meme!
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...

"Yes, thank you. I would appreciate that. I wish to come to a better understanding of the power systems here."
no subject
"There is a data point that you can touch for information in the power plant, as well. It should help you understand the technology here better. There are several, in fact- though should you touch a new one, you lose the knowledge you had from the old one."
He should know, having given up his agricultural information for the medical information he thought to be more important, given how many people worked in the greenhouse already.
no subject
"One should always attempt to understand though their own frame of reference first. If you just have the knowledge passed to you easily and immediately, then you do not truly possess understanding."
Yes, he respects that these datapoints somehow act as the Lifestream and Materia do, granting one access a bit more intimately to memory and knowledge than those crystallized memories of his worlds did. And he respects using them. However if he is supposed to understand it properly, he wants to look at these systems himself.
no subject
Not that it had been his first choice, to touch the data point with the knowledge of how to save lives. How to work the machines in the hospital, how to tell medicines apart. Still, it had been necessary, much like he'd thought it necessary to tend the greenhouse once.
He led the other man toward the power plant, following an easier path, and while some animals tried to get in their way, Altair merely flung the creatures throwing themselves at them back into the trees with the Force- just giving a gentle flick of the wrist here and there.
no subject
Because sometimes the most important thing is understanding how different systems interfaced.
no subject
He couldn't blame him for it. Had he seen any other option, he probably wouldn't have used any data points either. As it was, he had a need to do something. Be useful.
Arriving at the power plant then, he gestured toward the place, "And here we are. I will tell you though, that you won't be alone here. There are more who've chosen to work here."
And live there, but he didn't say that. The man seems reasonably intelligent- enough to not disturb any area that's lived in by someone else.
no subject
A whole world to make up to for his failings and sins.
