pure darkness (RPG) DAY 1

[assasin]

Looking to try and re run this if anyones intorested post here and pm your char request


Setup:
You arrive in a Spartan little shuttle that lifted off from Earth a mere 3 hours before. The shuttle doesn’t even have a driver just a pre programmed flight path taking you to the orbital ring around the moon. The personnel capacity for this shuttle is cramped at best but to have these four armoured brutes sitting beside you is making it all the more uncomfortable not only because you are pressed up against the wall but there was never a need for security personnel like this before. You feel the ship jolt to a stop as the airlocks took hold of the doors and a green light winked to life a small little thing that says you’re allowed to leave alive. As you exit the door you enter into the bustling main room of the port or it should have been bustling. Now where there had been people there is sacks of raged flesh torn apart by some unknown enemy crimson still dripped from the walls where these people had been butchered and their blood gusseted from there opened arteries. But worse still you see in the centre of the room a group that been the poor retches who were not killed as quick. Slain in the water fountain where people sat for their daytime meal they were not the brutal butcheries that the other men and women had endured these people were killed slowly there body’s punctured in ritual patterns dark blood filed the pool and faces frozen in time giving people an insight into the horrid last moments of these people stared long fully at all who exited the shuttle.

As you can tell imp going dark and graphic with this and want players to take it seriously I don’t want people running about "for te lulz".I will do a small write-up at the end of each round telling the story of the people in the game and those they may come across. Each person will have 5 action points to spend in a week so think them out carefully and make them count.

[ShadowSplicer57]

Name: Thomas Fields
Class: Security Officer
Background: Officer Fields is still young, but the little experience hes had has made him an expert. He singlehandedly stopped an terrorist attempt to destroy a cargo-liner through a long and treacherous firefight with the hijackers. Despite this, he has recieved little recognition. Possibly do to his attitude, and his ability to be seen as, well, an asshole.
Physical Description: Young and good looking, with spiked blonde hair and blue eyes, needless to say, he looks like a punk.

My application, tried to make a character who was a bit different than my usual characters in rpgs.

[Architech]

Name: Gerard "Stitch" Pendras

Class: Doctor


Background: Gerard was a top medical student and eventually a well respected surgeon and instructor at a city hospital. After the death of his fiance, he sought redemption in a bottle of scotch. After five years of his life and most of his pay had been lost to his addiction, he decided that it was not enough to feel sorry for himself. He removed himself from his position at the hospital, and boarded a shuttle. His hope was to work to cure diseases like the one that took his love.

Physical Description: Gerard is of medium height and build. His hair is mostly dark with silver streaks at the temples. He has a scar along the side of his face near the eye. He earned the scar in a barfight during his college years. After suturing the wound himself he earned the name 'Stitch'.

[Rahveel]

Adelis Christiansen

Background: Granddaughter to one of the most influential (and wealthiest) scientists of his time, Adelis was raised to honor the sciences. Employed by Oslo Sciences and Development (the premiere technologies company in Scandinavia, owned largely by her family), Adelis has been a part of several high profile research teams involving biotechnology, and inter-system space travel. 7 hours ago she received a message from her grandfather, directing her to board a waiting shuttle for the lunar ring.

Description: a fairly attractive woman of medium height, with short brown hair, and distinctive 'reader-lenses' (research computer built to resemble glasses worn in the 20th century) that she is rarely seen without. In her mid 30's. Prefers unassuming clothing, rarely talkative unless on a subject of scientific interest. Speaks English Norwegian Russian and Spanish with very little accent.

[assasin]

ok guys its opening day you start at the edge of the shuttle you have till next tuesday to make all your actions.

[Architech]

Gerard glances at the other two and any crew from the shuttle that might be around to make sure they are able to handle what they see. (If I know others are in the ship, call inside to them)

-Look for anyone who might still be alive in the area, step forward a little bit...but do not get too far from the shuttle.If determined that no one requires immediate medical attention, slowly make my way towards the fountain, as those corpses seem to be the most different. Cautious pace. Beckon someone to me if they do not follow on their own.

(Will this be resolve at the end of the week? I don't think I can possibly spend 5 AP without getting feedback. If you want it to wait that's fine too, just checking)

[assasin]

no it resolves as soon as i get it

[Rahveel]

Adelis Steps out from the Shuttle. her nose and stomach begin to rebel at the overwhelming smell of blood, but from the side of her vision she spots an older man who was on the shuttle looking her way. she grimaces, but maintains control.

flipping on the recorder from her reader lenses, Adelis makes some quick visual sweeps of the carnage, and then approaches a security officer with who seems to be the most 'in charge'.

"Excuse me, but what has happened here?"

"Excuse me, but what has happened here?"

one fo the security officers that flew out here with you replys "i dont know you where just supposed to get your training here then go to 13B" for your new reserching station.

[Architech]

Do the men who brought us here seem worried at all? (I was thrown by his calm reply...but I might be reading too much into it)

[assasin]

They seem tence but they are professionals trained to the highest standardt never to let emotions bother them

[Rahveel]

Adelis returns to the shuttle, and its communication log. instead of contacting her grandfather in real time, she composes a quick summery of the situation, attaches the vid recording taken already, and emails it to him.

returning to the Port, Adelis makes her way to a station information/access terminal, in an attempt to discover what information she can.

OOC: mainly looking for time of last logged security entries, information about attackers, and chronological order of notable security reports in an effort to divine the movements of the attackers. (realize arch and SS may need to take some actions before this resolves fully)

[Architech]

"Come help me with this" Gerard calls out to the security officers and crew, as the doctor makes his way through the destruction

[ShadowSplicer57]

Officer Fields looked at the massacre around him, his hand resting readily on his pistol. "Whatever did this to the poor bastards was one tough son of a bitch." He turned to Gerard, "These aren't the bodies you should be looking for Doc, whatever the hell killed these people didn't die. Presumably, that would mean its still here, I say we find the bodies we do need." The Security Officer strayed from the pistol and now held his MP5 at the ready, feeling that the lesser firearm would not be sufficient for what lay ahead.

[Architech]

"Well perhaps then, you'd like to accompany me to examine these bodies...so that I can get an idea of what did this"

[assasin]

examing the bodies you find triangle shaped puncture wounds and burn marks but these people clearly put up a fight you hear rustleing to your left. a man apears shambling, clearly mad. As he starts to lurch and hobble twrads you on broken limbs 5 more people apear from the shadows and begin to close in.

as you log into the terminal all records of the last 3 days have been wiped from the system. trying every way you can with no luck the records are gone shipping, regisartion payroll they are all gone. the only hthing left is audio logs from the security personel stationed here perminatly and they are broken and jammed but you can clearly make out screams both human and non. high pitched screachs eminate from the speekers. while the men and women on the other side of the terminal pleed for help. the time stamp ont he record is 20min ago

[Rahveel]

"hmmm... most disturbing" mutters Adelis.

"Be on your toes, whoever did this is probably still here"

[ShadowSplicer57]

Fields saw the wounded man hobbling towards them, and quickly barked at the doctor, "Get behind me!" He aimed for the injured man's head as he yelled at him, "Get down whoever you are!" As he saw more were coming he added, "All of you!"

OOC: If they continue to move forward, I'll spray bullets over what's left of their legs. How much AP would that be?

[Architech]

Gerard moves behind the security personnel, all the while keeping a look out for other 'threats'. Gerard also attempts to examine the wounds and condition of the shamblers.

As they hobble forward your gun barks and the others who came with you open fire also sweeping the legs out from all of them. but that does little to stop them useing there arms they continue to drag themselfs twards you.

-1 AP

basicly any severe action ie a combat action or a story action will be 1



Gerard moves behind the security personnel, all the while keeping a look out for other 'threats'. Gerard also attempts to examine the wounds and condition of the shamblers.

Your experianced eye tells you these people are past the state of most human endurance the pain of these wounds should have overloaded there nevous system long ago. But the wounds seem to be primaraly superfical nothing leathal and they have that same distinct burn and scar mark as noted on others on the room.

[Architech]

Is this on record as happening in the past? Would Stitch no of previous cases? Or is this unknown?

"Officer! None of these guys should be moving let alone coming towards us!"

[assasin]

Is this on record as happening in the past? Would Stitch no of previous cases? Or is this unknown?

nothing on record except pcp users

[Rahveel]

jumping at the sound of machine gun fire, Adelis spins around to see what is going on.

"Oh shit, were did thy come from?" she mutters.

Adelis quickly shakes herself from her surprise, and looks around quickly for cover to dive behind.

pulling yourself back into the ship behind the cover of the benchs you see one of the ship guards fall after being dragged down from the ankels his screams are soon cut off as his throat is torn from his body in a gush of blood. After witnissing this one of the other gards turns and fires into the hord clearly killing 3 as there heads explode and what remains of the brains splatter against the ships hull.

[Architech]

Do I notice anything being more effective?(clearly I'm a bit surprised the things got to them...also guessing head shots work best...but don't want to say that with no reason in game.)

it seems to be the only thing thats clearly killing them

[Rahveel]

Adelis takes a quick recording of the gunfight occurring in the Port. Moving quickly, she then moves to the ship communications room, and begins to compose a distress message. She attaches the video taken earlier, and the more recent short clip of the fight, and composes the following video message;

"This is Adelis Christiansen, of Oslo Sciences and Development. Our vessel <attach ship designation> Docked at at the lunar ring approximately 15 minutes ago (or whatever time ago it was if this is inaccurate). when we arrived we found the station had recently come under attack from an unknown assailant <attach original video clip here>. as our crew attempted to discover the nature of the attack, we we have come under assault from hostiles of unknown intent or affiliation. <attach vid clip just taken>. Request immediate aid from any local armed forces. lunar ring appearers to be overrun, enemy strength unknown."

Adelis sets the message to repeat on all available emergency frequencies. she then opens a live emergency call, in an attempt to reach authorities.

[Architech]

"Officers! Cranial trauma is the only thing that's putting theses things down!"

When you send the message you are instead of the sent icon you get a red screen and the failure to send icon apears before the screan goes dead and white nois pumps through the speekers.


"Officers! Cranial trauma is the only thing that's putting theses things down!"

With that 4 of the men drop bullets splattering there heads arcoss the floor but also another security officer is pulled down his throat riped out by a womans teath before being blown away.

[Rahveel]

"Shit" mutters Adelis.

A feeling of dread creeping into her mind, she quickly pulls up launch sequences, attempting to discern if their ship has been disabled to prevent them from escaping.

OOC:could you describe how we are docked? as in, does the shuttle travel into the station, or dock with it via clamps and the like? (if your feeling rambunctious, a floor plan of the aria we are in would be wicked :p)

[assasin]

"Shit" mutters Adelis.

the ships manual controls have been disabled but the automatic pilot is set to return to earth in one weeks time.

[Architech]

We can presume that the 'shamblers' are just around the dead? Roughly how many more do we need to deal with?

"Adelis, listen to me...everything is going to be ok. If we can, we need to get to those dropped weapons, in case there are more of these things. Can you do that?"
(Looking for any opportunity to arm myself and Adelis...be conservative though...no chancing fate.)

rolling the hadless body of a former member of humanity off the dead sec officer you grab his smg and toss the pistol to the lady resercher who is trying desperatly to get a message of help out.

[Architech]

Take the best aim I can for high center mass, hoping to slow them or luckily brain them. Small controlled bursts...staying back enough to be off the front

Your fire stiches the walls for a second then cuts accross one of the shambeling mens chest before cutting up and catching out in the face just below the eye.

-1AP (its a new week everyones back at 5)

5 enemys left

[Architech]

If the face shot worked, yell encouragement to the men,a nd continue to fire until there are no longer threats

[assasin]

i am goin to resolve this im just waiting on some otheres

[Rahveel]

and toss the pistol to the lady resercher who is trying desperatly to get a message of help out.

Adelis barely acknowledges the gun, absentmindedly placing it in her satchel.

An intense look settling on her face, Adelis attempts to access the shuttles computer, and tries to determine how, from where, and most importantly who, accessed their vessel to lock it down. Whatever happened here was caused, and she suspects whomever did, is behind the jammed signal and ship being locked disabled.

[assasin]

the terminal is completely jammed but you are able to find a map of the facility

you guys are in the bottom left by the fountain
