[center][img]http://i.imgur.com/jkzAri9.png[/img][/center] You’re the first one off the plane and you immediately regret it. The cold is a punch to the face. You huddle into your jacket, wishing you brought something thicker. You knew it was going to be freezing, but not this bad. You clutch your bags to your chest and begin heading towards the camp. Some permanent residents brave the weather to greet you, murmuring directions before turning to the other arrivals. You follow their instructions, ducking into the building as soon as your stiff fingers pry the door open. The difference inside is night and day. You suck in a relieved breath, shivering at the entrance. Another guest nearly barrels into you as they desperately try to get inside. You both quickly utter your apologies before moving out of the way. The remaining permanent staff are here, chatting amongst themselves. They’re clearly important judging by their uniforms. One of them is a short, curvy black woman. She appears to be the boss. As soon as everyone enters the foyer, she steps up to a makeshift podium. The lights dim and a projection screen lowers. “Welcome to Siberia,” she calls out. “My name is Gloria and I am the administrative lead for Project Obsidian. I hope the weather hasn’t put you off. It’s like this everyday.” A few people grumble and another couple laugh. She smiles. “Today is orientation. Depending on your division, one of our department leads will show you to your quarters and work stations.” She gestures to a squirrely man, a woman with bright red hair, a serious-looking man and a handsome man in turn. “This is Vadim Ivanov. He heads research. Molly Karlsson, medical. Gerson March, security. Samuel Lopez, tech. Make sure to meet them after the presentation.” “Now, onto the important stuff. You are all here to research the Obelisks. I’m sure you’ve heard all about it on the news. Everything they’ve said is a lie, misinformation. Let me tell you the truth: the stones are alive and dangerous.” There were a few shocked gasps. “Our goal is the containment of the stones and their power. The six months you are stationed here will be completely dedicated to this cause. Division leaders will fill you in on the details. In the meantime, get situated. You’re all here for the long haul.” Gloria turns and walks off, her exit dogged with questions. Security stops anyone from following her. You suddenly have a feeling that coming here was mistake. A very costly mistake.

FAQs

I don't know what x mechanic is.

Have you checked the rules before asking me your question?

What is security clearance?

Security clearance grants players of the same team color the ability to use their 'power role'. This power role can be anything from another ability, a passive or an additional clause to their current role.

Teams will also gain an advantage given through their respective Quick Topic links.

How do I get security clearance?

Daily puzzles will be posted on the discussion thread, and players must work together within their teams to find the answer. The first team to find the answer will gain clearance for the next day. As for Day One, the next clearance will be given randomly.

What are teams?

Teams are merely the colors you picked in the beginning of the game. Team members will not all be allies, so keep that in mind when theorizing and posting information.

What are personal logs?

Personal logs are like a death note. Every lockdown cycle you send me a single sentence with whatever you want; from helpful information to nonsense like image links. These get recorded for each day. So for Day One, you could enter 'I roleblocked Nerasis' and on Day Two you could put 'I roleblocked Journey.' If you die on Day Three, those messages will be put on full display for all players to see.

If you've ever played Town of Salem, its the paper which most people use to spam memes instead of information.

Day Zero


You're all exhausted from the trip here and the frighteningly cold weather outside deters you from exploring the base. Instead most of you find your ways to the small lobbies dotting the main building, where a few comfy chairs await. It's a good opportunity to introduce yourselves.

There's some worry about the obelisks. The information you do know is limited to news reports and crazy rumors, but the idea of the stones being alive scares you a little. What exactly are they? Are they some strange alien species? Were they built by some unknown creatures from Earth or beyond? Were they some remnant from a time where stranger things were possible? You didn't know, and neither did your fellow researchers. You discussed theories amongst yourselves eagerly.

At least the night would pass quickly, and your first day would be upon you. Then maybe all of you could get some work done.


No clearance for today. This is merely an introduction phase. Do not submit any actions or personal logs at this time.

Participation is completely optional. No player will be penalized for inactivity this day only.

The game will officially start tomorrow at 18:00 FRT.



Weather Forecast

Today
Cloudy
12° F
Too cold for any outside activities.

Tomorrow
Clear Skies
32° F
A nice start to your first day on the job.

Does anyone have a questionnaire?
Until you test your wings, you'll never know how far you'll fly or how high you'll soar.
So spread your wings, it's time to fly. Make the leap, own the sky.
You may not know where you're going, and that's okay. As long as you spread your wings, the wind will carry you at least part of the way.
The time though is today.
It's time to fly.
