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...

I'll shoot it with the EM Rifle.
Hey, that first was a misunderstanding. If I'd known that most laws of science don't apply, I would've been out that door in a flash. And how is hearing a joke a labor?
There was a man, and he was going skydiving for the first time. Scared of heights, he asked his instructor, "What if the parachute breaks?" The instructor replied, "Don't worry, there's a backup parachute as well that you're going to have." "But what if that breaks too?" "Both parachutes aren't going to break. The chances of that happening are-" "I'm not going until I know they won't break!" The instructor sighed. "I'll see if I can find a backup parachute that can fit in with the other two. After a while, he does find one, and gives it to his client. "There. Now will you jump?" "But what if all three break?" "This is getting ridiculous. Look, if all three parachutes break, just say 'Save me Buddha', and you'll be fine." The man finally agreed to jump out of the airplane. When he did so, the parachutes slipped off his back(because he had not properly tied them) and he began falling to his death. Remembering his instructions, he yelled "Save me Buddha!" A giant hand came down from the sky and gently lowering him to the ground, saving his life. The man sighed with relief and wiped his forehead. "Phew, thank God." The hand came down and smashed him.

Reading it strained my eyes. It WAS quite funny though. And the laws of science get bound, gagged, set on fire and dropped out of a tenth story window whenever I want in this RPG.
You shoot it until it dies. You concentrate, and wake Zee. Embarassed, she apologises, and accidently blows apart the gate. You continue on. You arrive at a small house by the side of the road. It looks abandoned, but you feel a sort of... indefinable presence there. What do you do?
!!!Level Up!!!

I'll go check it out. Disintegration. You put an extra "r". The laws of physics and science and logic in general can be set on fire and tossed out a window(which has no effect because there is no longer gravity), but the laws of grammar and english will remain. xP

They fall onto the ground, spinning over and over. The armor around the gunner's neck is loose. You still can't affect the rest of his body without significant effort, and to do so would mean a large loss of MP. What now?

There's a diary on the floor. You pick it up and start to read.
January 1st, 2367
They're onto us. Admiral Mugano has increased patrols, and we're stuck here, with no news from the facility. Last thing we heard, Project 00 has died. They think it's suicide - the shock of the Enkari implants has too much for most of the prototypes. However, they're halfway through recombining Deimos's DNA, and it should be easier this time: instead of energy control, we're testing telepathy.
January 2nd
Division 4 arrived today, and so we've just about got the numbers to make a direct assault on the citadel. We have news that Divisions 1-3 are headed this way, which should make our job a little easier. Sungh's citadel is the hardest place in the galaxy to take next to Sol Prime.
January 3rd
A large force of Sungh's troops is headed towards us. We plan to meet them in battle in the dust desert. God protect us. The fate of the planet might decide upon it.

So...there was an experiment before me. And apparently, they're attacking a building called Sungh's Citadel. Presumably, they failed. Either that, or the battle I was dropped into was the assault on Sungh's Citadel. This Admiral Mugano is their leader, whereas Sungh would be the leader of their enemy. I already know about the implants.... I have an idea. I'll tear out those pages and put them into the safest place I have(most likely my pockets or something. Do I have a backpack?). Then I'll fill into the journal what's happened to me as far as I can remember. It might help. Then I'll explore the rest of the house.
Ermm...you're confused, I think. Dr. Moat is the one with the doctorate in Psychology. Grammar Nazi Moat does have a doctorate, two in fact, but it's in English(betcha saw that one coming) and the other one's in Language Arts.

1. They were planning an assault on the citadel, but they were intercepted and annhiliated in the battle you dropped into. 2. You find a backpack in the room, and put your stuff in it. 3. You hear shouts outside, and the familiar sound of EM fire. What do you do?

Two men stand there, over the corpse of a third. They're dressed in armor, but don't seem to part of any particular army. They kick down the house door, and they head into the basement. You here terrible screams, which cut short after a few seconds. What do you do?

The basement is full of machinery, but most of it is smashed and covered in silvery-black liquid. Two corpses lie on the floor, barely identifiable as human. The room appears empty, but you hear a noise. Click. Clack. Click. Clack. A horrible screech echoes around the room, and an enormous creature smashes through a hole in the floor.
