2015 After recolinisation; the apocalypse has already occured, some 3000 years ago, earth has been recolinised and has reached almost exactly the same state. Save large pine-forests on America, marches on Australia and slightly advanced tech world-wide.
Nickel Inc, one of the most advanced lab's in Knucklebones (Read Texas) has long been working on making test-tube babies designed for combat.
After creating several successful clones, they create a mixed batch, programmed to have strong urges to eradicate all other clones in the batch. Releasing these and locking down the facility they leave. Planning to come back after the action has cooled down, supposedly being left with only the most effective clones.
Unfortunately some clones, break into the boiler room with the intention of blowing up the lab in a suicidal attempt to destroy the other clones. Many are killed by the resulting blast, but a good fifty survive, now no longer hemmed in by the now lab's walls. These hide in the city, having large shoot-outs in public places to the chagrin of the sheriff.
In this forum you play as one of these artificial-humans, but be wary, some clones have excelled to an elite level, and while the police will only detain you Nickel Inc soldiers will gladly cut you down. This is not a friendly world to be spawned into.
RULES: No auto hitting, killing, unlocking, traversing, ect. No cussing in english. Clones are limited to Saline City Knucklebones and are unable to leave. No flash-dancing.
NOTIFACATION: Due to the tyrannical nature of Vodafone I will only be able to post of Thursday to Monday each week.

"Oh, right." The man hurries up the ladder, followed by the other clone. As you enter the out-house the door swings open by itself. Outside is pale yellow sand, and a few cacti.

There are two things which could be considered signs of where you are. The first one is merely some graffiti on the back of the out-house proclaiming 'Your not in Kansas anymore'. The other is a patent-mark on the trap-door; 'Blodge & Son -designing trap-doors since 0004-
You hear the other clone say something to the drunken man followed by a response, in which you make out "Sorry, it has sentimental value...oh, okay."

The other clone shrugs and examines the out-house wall, "He's just talking to himself." The drunk man, hereafter known as TDM (...lol) ,looks offended, and squints at the clone.

You head outside into the crunchy sand. There's a fair amount of nothing on the horizon, although you can see a pond in the distance, fringed by palm-trees.

He dodges, and kicks the pistol out of your hands. "We get a thrill from killing each other, so I'm not sure that could turn out well." He grabs your arm, and tries to punch you.

'That is most likely a mirage, but its the most interesting thing about, so lets head over.' I start to walk over to the pond.

Sure enough, as you approach the pond it fades away. "Oh, you're right. Phew, I guesh that meansh the sniper's fake too." The other clone pats his shoulder, starts to say something, then stops. Squinting at the horizon.

There are several zweet sounds as you run, from the not-so-miragian sniper's silenced weapon, and a few cacti explode. As you shut the door a well aimed shot from the sniper shatters the lower hinge, causing the door the buck alarmingly. After a couple of seconds a second shot half obliterates the second hinge.

'Everybody on the ground. Stay away from the door.' I drop to my stomach and shuffle away from the door. I look around the wall for a crack or hole.
