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...

Why not? You do not seem hostile, and while understandably frustrated, you have not taken it out on us.

We can tell that you value the friendship we must have had.

I'm not the same person now that I was when we met.

[He doesn't know if his heart can take being looked at like a stranger.

The one person who's well and truly chipped away at the ice and now it's like being back at the starting point.] And it's the future, for you, anyway.

Only the Sith are supposed to be able to tell what the future will bring.

That does not mean we still cannot be friends. Even if I am from before we met, whatever our relationship was, you clearly valued it greatly.

[Valued it greatly is an understatement.

The agent falls quiet for the longest moment, as he thinks. He sort of wishes he could simply turn the Joiner away, but Vector is one of the only people at home who's gotten to know the true him, and even if he doesn't know him here, turning him away is... Difficult.

Maybe Aden's just selfish.] Maybe.

You're not worried that I might tell you something about the future you won't like?

We are not, no. We are sincere in our desire to get to know you better, even if it would be retreading old ground for you.

[It's what he's always liked about the man, this. Sincerity, kindness, that he's genuinely a good person.

More or less the opposite of him. His last memories before arrival play through his mind- the mountain of sins he doesn't want a Vector who doesn't know him ever finding out.

Still, Aden is a lot more jaded now than he was back then.] You think I wouldn't retread that ground, though?

[Selfish. The right thing to do would let Vector make better friends.] You think I valued you that little?

We can see that you valued us quite a lot. So long as we are trapped here, we may as well renew this friendship you had with us. We have been here longer than you, and we can prove invaluable.

I suppose so.

Though it really doesn't matter to me whether or not you have information about this place from having been here longer. You might not know me. I know you, though. You don't need to prove yourself invaluable when you already are.

[A bit much, perhaps.] It should be the other way around. I'm the one who's going to have put in some work to prove myself an asset.

[As though he's ever been anything else to the powers that be. Of course, things are different here.]

We see no reason why we should not be friends so far, Aden. We are not sure what you feel the need to prove to us, or what history you might have that would make you think such a thing, but we are willing if you are.
