The human race is triumphant. After succesfuly developing space travel, they swarmed around the galaxy, colonising dozens of worlds. In doing so, they found numerous signs of alien civilisations: odd bits of technology, ruined desert cities of gold filagree and glowing blue light, abandoned scapyards... but no life. But soon enough, following the trail across the galaxy, they found them: the Enkari. Highly advanced lifeforms, they were all but extinct when the humans found them, claimed by a deadly disease. They bequeathed their knowledge to the humans, in the form of a datacrystal, hundreds of miles high. The humans brought the crystal to earth, where the scientists eagerly awaited a chance to experiment with the advanced technology. However, on the way to earth, a rogue military general, Amadeus Sungh, attacked the convoy with a small fleet, seizing the crystal. The rest of the humans counterattacked, and in the process, the vast crystal was lost, accidently blown apart by weapons fire. Only a few shards remained, and war broke out among the humans, fighting for the knowledge contained within...
Tuth Choss, Haron System
You wake up, and find yourself lying on a table. The room is dark, but you can make out banks of surgical equipment. You clutch your head, trying to remember something, anything before this room. Nothing, nothing apart from your name. You sit up, and climb off the bed. You hear a clanking noise, and stare in horror at your body. Half of it seems to have been encased in some sort of golden armor, with glowing blue cables snaking in and out of your skin. Twin golden gauntlets are affixed to your hands, and metallic armor covers your torso. Armor covers the lower half of your legs, and on your chest you see a green crystal affixed to the armor. Blue cables connect to this, and it glows eerily. Despite the armor, you can move freely. In fact, you feel light and flexible. Suddenly, the floor shakes and there is an enormous BOOM. You are knocked off your feet, but get back up again and rush to the door. It opens, and you stumble into a large hall, filled with people running away. You stare out of a window, and see tanks and soldiers charging towards the base...

There's a large explosion, as the robot slams into the wall, smashig right through it... Air flies out due to the sudden change in pressure. Aquillane is sucked out, but grabs onto a wing, clinging on for dear life. The glass cracks on the girl's tank, and she collapses onto the floor, desperately clawing her way towards the door. You manage to grab onto a desk, but it won't hold for long. The girl loses grip, and tumbles backwards, grabbing onto the jagged edges of the gap. Within seconds, both of them will plunge to their deaths. You see a parachute hanging on the wall. You grab it. If you dive out, you can save one of them by grabbing onto them and releasing the parachute. Who do you save?

But...the idea is that we're being sucked into space, and I have a parachute to save them? Not going to complain about logic and science; I'm the one who joined an RPG about psychics. I'll save the girl. Cyan, pick #2. I think, right?

It's a magic space parachute from fairyland. Happy?
You dive out, grab the girl...
FIVE MINUTES LATER.
You land in the middle of a war zone. Fighter craft soar overhead, blasting holes in tank armor while anti air robospidrers blast them with hadron cannons. Heavily armoured android infantry march, blasting fleeing marines before being destroyed by a missile from above. Heavier tanks wipe out a large amount of the infantry, only to be taken down by mass air asaults. In short, total chaos. You and the girl get up. Who are you? My name is Deimos. I don't remember anything else. I'm -
A missile tears the ground a few feet away from you, but you're all ready gone, jumping away.
Zee. My name is Zee. What the hell's happening here? I wake up, and suddenly I'm in the middle of a war zone! [You tell her]
A tank bears down on you. Zee turns round, raises a hand... And the tank is gone, replaced by a cloud of dust. ****! I didn't know I could do that! Welcome to the club...
You fight your way out of the war, and find yourselves wandering down a road. Zee's powers seem to enable her to control matter on a molecular level. She can disintegrate or change the state of anything she wants. Zee wants to go back to the facility (which will be SWARMING with enemies).
What do you do?
[This is me signing out. See you tomorrow, hopefully.]

No, the parachute thing wasn't my deal; it's that there's no gravity in space, so parachutes would be unnecessary. You could just float peacefully by. Lack of atmosphere, there's your problem. If you were in space, it'd be a toss between freezing to death and suffocating for what you'd die from. I have an idea. Maybe we haven't beeen lobotomized, maybe our memories haven't been wiped, maybe our memories have just been unconsciously repressed. Which would mean, that I could find those memories via Mind Read(if my theory is correct). So yeah...I'll mind read myself and Zee. Maybe I'll find something.

You try to mind read yourself, but just get white noise, like a radio uned to the wrong station. Zee is the same, but you try it on a bug, and though the thoughts are simplistic, you can still read it. Frowning, you think that your abilities can't focus on another psychic. You travel down a dusty track, mostly not talking, too amazed by the scenery. It's all new to you, and you gaze in amazement at the grey-blue leaves of the short, stubby trees, and the green tinged sky. The ground is like a thick, dirty sand, but when you pick it up, half of it runs away, squeaking. Eventually, you arrive at a crossroads. A sign points one way, reading 'Ma...Sar..' most of the letters have been blown off by some sort of dust storm. Another road leads into a huge marshy area, and you can see large amounts of elephantine creatures squelching through the mud. The third road leads to a small outpost of two houses and a gas station. Where do you go?
You land on a small hill, which is part of huge mountain, many miles high. Higher up the mountain there's a squat metal outpost clinging to the rock like an overgrown lichen. Down below you, the light purple grass leads down into a large town in the valley below. But before you can do anything, you hear a rumble. A giant six legged creature springs up from the ground below you. You flip out of the way, before getting a better look at the creature. It's about 1.5 metres tall, and is shaped like an bear, with ix legs covered in thick muscle. The head is like tube shaped, and has small eyes, but a huge mouth and antennae. It raises a clawed foot, and smashes towards you with surprising speed. What do you do?
repressed memories are one of the hardest memories to read. i should know, i keep trying to find my own memories of a place thats blurry as hell. also, moat's right their.
Are you STILL HERE?! And also
right their
should be 'Right there' ALL HAIL GRAMMAR NAZIs!!!
Sorry for not posting yesterday. I busted out my cousin's NES, and playing the original Final Fantasy (addictive as HELL) absorbed my day like a strving sponge.
Looking surprised, it's catapulted into the air with your teke. You swing the sword, and it slices through the creature's side. However, it still lives, and slams into you with pain fuelled rage. You are catapulted down the hill, and hit your head off a rock. The beast lands on you, and tears at you with it's paws. In panic, you desperately hack at the creature until it stills. Badly hurt and barely conscious, you try to decide where to go. You're so dazed you alnost notice that the blade has shorted out. You ick up a sharp rock, and try to puzzle out where to go next. Do you want to head to the town, or the high outpost?
