Felix Culpa Posted June 4, 2011 Report Share Posted June 4, 2011 [url=http://forum.yugiohcardmaker.net/topic/251657-the-facility-pg-13-started-accepting/]Click here to go to the OOC Thread[/url] An intercom rattled to life with much protesting static. "Welcome," said a warm, friendly voice from the old-style box. "I am Damien Thompson, and I will be your Testing Initiative Protocol Engineer for this round of testing. If you would notice the door to your left, you will be debriefed by one of our many robotic aides for testing. Please have a nice day and remember: You Are the Future." The intercom died out and a light flickered on behind the mahogany door on the left side of the grand lobby, which was a few hundred feet below the surface of the earth. It was an odd menagerie of people, Daniel Thompson had to admit, from a gangster to a family man, but variety is what you look for in the testing groups. Those control group androids didn't hold up so well, but they aren't hardwired with the will to live. "Daniel, the first test chamber needs configuration," a woman said from the door to his office. "The purpose of the first test is.." Before she could finish her sentence, Daniel was configuring groups of panels into a room for the first test. It was going to be interesting to see how they'd survive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dwarven King Posted June 4, 2011 Report Share Posted June 4, 2011 "Right then." John said out loud. "I guess we gotta step through the door to start the test." John started walking towards the door, then stopped half-way there and turned around. "That reminds me." he said to everyone else. "Do any of you know what kind of test this is going to be? Is it going to be multiple choice, or free response? Or is it going to be some physical test, like running around a track or something?" John stood there for a second as everyone else shrugged. "Well, any of you got a pen or a pencil I could use in case it's a written test?" Once again, he stood there as everyone else shrugged. John sighed at this. Looks like he was going to have to wing things like usual. He turned back around and walked through the door. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Felix Culpa Posted June 4, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 4, 2011 A metal skeleton stood at the front of the room, which was designed much like a high school classroom with an Electronic Graphics Display Board on which were written the instructions for the testing. Well, a single instruction. "Don't die," said the board. The robot nodded to John and a second door opened into a large room. It was a room of pure white with a few objects around the room. It was plain, and the objects were as well. General shapes and objects. A sphere, a cube, a pyramid, and a prism lay on the flat floor. There was no exit door in sight.

Dwarven King Posted June 4, 2011 Report Share Posted June 4, 2011 John scratched his head as he looked at the robot, then towards the new door. The room in the inside was pretty simple, and the objects within were just as simple. John then turned back towards the board and read it. 'Don't die.' "Seems simple enough to me." John said out loud. "Let me guess. I have to fight some created using the objects in that room? Not a problem! I can fight with just my fists!" He smirked at his little joke as he walked into the new room. As soon as he walked in, the door closed behind him. So far, it seemed he was trapped within.

Felix Culpa Posted June 4, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 4, 2011 "Mr. Thompson," his female assistant called from the doorway again. "John, the criminal, has entered the first test chamber. The Director also wishes you to know that he would like you to keep your testing as humane as is worldly possible." "Well, Ms. Seymoure," Damien said with a charming smile in the warm voice that he had used to reassure the test subjects. "I can tell you for a fact that the chance of one of these men dying in the test chamber is slim to none. Humans like you and I live in comfort, but these people have been pushed to the edge and have the will to live with incomparable odds stacked against them. Now, let's make Mr. Blue-Collar welcome in his test chamber." Damien walked to his computer from the well-lit bar and highlighted three areas on the floor, all of which roughly were equal to the size of an American football stadium and hit the blue DELETE button. Inside the test chamber, three areas of the floor would retract into the walls revealing one of many possibilities ranging from a 186 foot drop, an inferno, or a spike pit. None of which were extremely pleasant to fall into, research showed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyng's Old Account Posted June 4, 2011 Report Share Posted June 4, 2011 'Hmm...I don't like the sound of this fellas.' said Carl as he watched John head indoors. '...but like I always say! Never judge a book by its cover! I wonder what we'll have to be doing?' He looked around and then thought about his wife, son and soon daughter. 'I miss you all so much, but at least we'll be getting great pay! Plus, it's not like I'm going to die in here. But I suppose it couldn't hurt to give them a call.' He felt around his jean pockets and felt a pencil. Oops. Anyways, he found his phone, but there was no signal. 'Arr...any of you guys get any signal?' asking the people he was left with. 'If so, can I call my family? Just wanna calm them down.' Carl chuckled, as he continued saying '...especially my missus! She'd never stop worrying. But I love every bone on her gorgeous body!'

Qu@ke Posted June 5, 2011 Report Share Posted June 5, 2011 ooc: Changing name to Samuel to avoid confusion Samuel looked around the group of people, all city folk really, no one really out of the ordinary like himself. He was from the country and most people could tell. He heard one man ask about the testing only to shrug it off and go inside the building first. Than there was another man, who was fiddling with a cell phone that obviously was just not cooperating with him. "Does any have service?" The man asked, than explained something about his family. "I understand ya completely pal, but I don't even own a cell phone." Samuel said and than walked into the building slowly. "Let's just go churn butter in here quickly so ya can get back to um." Samuel said, using "churn butter" as an expression of work and getting it done quickly. Samuel found himself in front of robotic structure, his rucksack still on his back.

Felix Culpa Posted June 5, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 5, 2011 Damien, slightly annoyed by the hesitation of his test subjects even though it was a fear reaction. This was, in fact, the first test. Anyone who was to go inside the Facility's "first" test chamber would be given the go-ahead to begin testing. Currently Damien was slouched in front of his computer, making testing tracks for the current subjects. It was a devious arrangement of buttons, traps, bridges, lava, and a variety of other ways to die. It was marvelous, in the mind of Damien. "Damien, remember to make the tests passable," chuckled the dark voice of the Director, who led the experiments at the Facility. It was his idea to reopen human testing. His brilliant, dark idea.

JonahHex125 Posted June 5, 2011 Report Share Posted June 5, 2011 Jarvis thought to himself as the applicants whispered nervously to each other outside the door. He had watched a man who asked about the test to no one, then go in anyway, a dude that was fiddling with his cell phone for one reason or another, and some country bumpkin that said something about churning butter. He sighed. He hated being around so many people. They were all sickening. Each one of them had two faces. Each one of them was nothing. He walked up to the door. "Well, may as well" he muttered. He went inside after the bumpkin to see the strange metal skeleton and the message. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Organized Chaos Posted June 5, 2011 Report Share Posted June 5, 2011 Robert watched as his fellow entrants strode in quite casually into the mysterious building. He studied the tall structure only to see there was not much to examine. He stood there impatiently, not wanting to go in until he knew he was with someone he could trust. Unfortnatley, no one he could see looked vaguely intelligent. Robert was just about to move towards the door when he felt a hand on his shoulder. He turned around and saw a stubbled, brown-haired man with a small but somewhat striking smile. "Hi stranger, what's y-" said the man trying to introduce himself to Robert but the Englishman simply walked away to enter the building standing before him, ignoring the man's friendy gesture, and found himself looking at the metallaic skeleton which had the very straight-forward message "Don't Die" upon it's chest. "This could be interesting", thought Robert as he stared at the message."This could be very interesting indeed". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Felix Culpa Posted June 5, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 5, 2011 In John's room, the cube opened in a cross-pattern revealing a strange-device. This device in particular had the ability to fuse molecules in the air together to form a solid walking surface in the most treacherous locations. There was a device like this one waiting in each of the testing chambers; however, each was slightly different. One testing chamber, Samuel's, destroyed and absorbed blocks for later placement. Another, Jarvis', had the purpose of revealing hidden things that were masked by the plain white of the panels. Each device was tailored for use by the test subject and controlled in the main room for the functions to be switched randomly and appropriately for each testing chamber. After the first test chamber's completion, all participants would meet in a secondary lobby to be congratulated, etc. etc. "This should be fun." Damien said.
