Equilibrium

Ok, this role play can actually start now. Here is the storyline and other important details...

_____________________________________________________________
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The year is 2064, you are a citizen on a grossly overpopulated planet. Natural resources are being quickly depleted, foods that were once common are now only a luxury for the very wealthy. The large cities allow new diseases and mass panic to spread rapidly. Governments worldwide struggle frantically to contain these outbreaks, with little success. Over time people begin vanishing, only to resurface years later, if at all.

Conspiracy theories begin growing in the minds of the people. The most common of which being of horrific genetic experiments conducted in secret government facilities. Experiments in an attempt to create the "Perfect Human", people that do not require food or sleep. Anyone who claims to vaguely recall these experiments describe the excruciating pain involved. In rare cases, they have genetic mutations or unique "Abilities".

You are one of these people, and you have kept this secret in fear of being shunned by society. Recently, a mysterious note was delivered to your residence. There was no return address, or any way of telling where it came from. There are only a few lines written on it:

-An address in New York City

-"There are others like you, and I have taken an interest in your "Abilities". I would like to discuss your situation with you, and possibly find a way to solve your problems. Your financial needs will be taken care of, in exchange for your services, which will only help you in the long run. Wait outside the given address with the others, then we will begin."

Feeling curious, and somewhat relieved, your board a flight for New York. You plan to head to the given address, feeling unsure about your future.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NOTE: This role play will be narrated by me. Please wait for me to describe what happens next after you have take your action. The role play will continue this way. You ARE allowed 2 extra posts to interact with other members, but then wait for whats to come.

Ok, that works. Ill start now.
____________________________________________________________________

You arrive at the airport terminal, people are quickly gathering their belongings and heading towards the exits. At the other end of the room is a man in a dark overcoat, he appears to stare directly at you. You nervously approach him. He lifts the tip of his bowler hat, revealing an expressionless face. He has a few scars running along his lower jawline to the upper part of his face.

"Do you have the card?" He asks in neutral tone. He extends a gloved hand to you.

Hey Blackknight are you going to do a person?
__________________________________________
Satrin fiddles around in her bag for a moment and then finds the card she recieved in the letter."I think so...here"She hands it to the man.

Hmm, kind of. Not the same as you pplz, when more ppl join Ill have to come up with plotlines for each of you. That can be alot sometimes. Im NPCing every character in this, Ill have a character later, tho it will be like an NPC.
____________________________________________________________________

He takes the card and looks it over for a moment.

"Everything seems to be in order, follow me"

He escorts you out of the terminal to street beyond. A late fall breeze kicks up piles of leaves and blows them in small spirals. The crowed street seems to move on its own, in the direction of the parking lot.

Sitting on the curb is a Mercedes-Benz, the elegant black surface reflecting the sky overhead. The man heads for the passenger door and holds it open for you. You take a seat as the driver does the same. He drives on silently for quite some time, finally arriving on a street on the edge of the city. There are many wharehouses nearby, most of which are abandoned.

"Here we are..." He says. Outside of one labled Wharehouse 9

As you exit the vechicle, you notice a group of other people, of various apperances, standing idly out side. The door of the warehouse is slightly ajar.

Hmm....That sounds good.
_________________________
Satrin looked around and noticed nothing out of the ordinary.*This is getting akward....well it's nothing different from what I'm used to I suppose.*She walks into the warehouse and notices some equipment around.*What is going on here....*Minutes seemed to go by as the fading slowly began.

I g2g, sadly, Ill add more later.
____________________________________________________________________
The driver of the Limo gets out, and walks nonchantly to the warehouse door.

"Everyone please follow me..."

The others do so, and they are led to a space on the far side of the room. There is a sign on the wall above a small LCD screen that Reads Please use your Card

The man pulls the card out of his pocket along with a small metallic device. He turns this on and a black light radiates from one end. He points this at the pack of the card, and 7 digits become visible. The LCD display blinks feebly, and the man taps on the keyboard for a moment. A *BEEP* issues from the screen, and a platform slides off the floor to reveal an elavator below.

Satrin steps on to the elevator with a curious look at things.The Elevator seemed normal except for the music it played was cursed 50's music...
Satrin waited 10 minutes for something to happen and she began to fade....*No not here!Well there are supposed to be others like me...so this may not be so bad...*

alan pauly
born in NY,NY

wears a black leather jacket. about 5'8 covered in tatoos a typical gang member would wear. He is bald, has a gotee, and a pair of shades

Used to be an angry agressive gang member but lately his gang has been among the group of people who disappeared so hes mellowed out but only slightly. He is reserved and slightly lonely now. As a child he was one of the smartest in his age group and hopes to use his intelligence to find the cause of the disappearance.


skills
stealth-Alan can travel NY undetected if he desires. (exceptions would be if he was surrounded and other situations where it wouldn't make sense)
Sense-Alan's vision and ears are great he can see things in the dark and can hear things from quite a distance

As the group enters the elevator, you can hear the driver say:

"He is waiting below..."

The elevator shakes once, then begins its slow decent. After 5min has passed, you notice a hissing sound from the direction of the air vents. The elevator becomes hazy, and consciousness begins to slip away...



You awake much later, as you are unaware of the time now. You are in a spotless room with a large meeting table in the center. The front wall is covered in LCD monitors and other display screens. You pull yourself off the linoleum floor and see a man in dark Grey robe facing away from you. Something about him is....off, he wears a hood that casts his face in shadows.

"You have arrived"

Uhh...Are you doing one for Twili?
__________________________________
Satrin looked at the man in the robe.*I wonder...No I don't think I should do that.*"So yeah we have arived.Now what?"Satrin stared at the man and waited for something to happen.She had a feeling something in this room wasn't right...wether it was the man or not she didn't know.

(yea am I with darkrai or should I just head out to meet the group with the card)

Yeah, just wait. I may have to leave soon tho. You are with the group, twili.
_______________________________________________________________________

He paced the room and began typing on a laptop on a nearby table.

"I took the liberty of having a GPS unit and a pill injected into you while you were unconscious. I realize this may be a breach of your privacy, but its merely a necessary precaution. That "pill" will break if I input a series of commands in this computer. A deadly nerve toxin will proceed to spread throughout your body and you will die within 10min."

A fleeting smile crossed his face before he continued.

"Don't worry, that will only happen if one of you decides to be uncooperative or run away. I will be able to track your movements from here. Please understand that this is only for your safety, this world has become a dangerous place filled with dangerous people. It would be a shame if one of those people was among you."

He bent down and retrieved a briefcase on the floor next to the desk. He placed it on the table and snapped it open. Inside was many key cards. He slid one across the table to each person.

"Our facility has a wide range of features, which will become accessible to you as you complete more.... "Missions" as you may call them. At the moment, that key card gives you access to Floor B in which you will find a cafeteria, your dormitories and the lounge. I can assure you that your accommodations will be to you liking."

"It is quite simple, really. As you complete more "Missions" your "Rank" will increase, then you will be able to enjoy more of this facility's features. I may decide to remove the pill if you achieve a high enough "Rank" and my trust in you increases."

"For now, please take a break, use the elevator to your left to get to Floor B"

Satrin glared at the man, angry that he had put a chip inside of her.*I just walked into a death trap....*She thought but then figured if she had to do this she would.She went up to the lounge and sat down on a couch.

"So to protect us from possible death they can kill us at anytime... l wonder if this guy put chips in his fellow workers who brought us here or if we are just lucky." Alan thought this to himself. "And where will we find these missions? I wonder. All in due time though."

A soft chime issues from the intercom units. An unemotional voice repiles:

"There will be a meeting on Floor A in five minuets. Please use your key card to activate the elevator."
