- THE FUTURE IS NOW! -
Amidst the Quarantine Zone of the Forbidden Russian Lands lies an abandoned facility titled B-33. It houses a prototype of what was to be a way more resourceful Combine Teleportation Device. Though the documents and diagrams regarding its structure have been copied, nobody dared pick up the project, until now. Recently a group of bold scientists revived the efforts of achieving this technological advancement, calling it THE HERMES. Though the original device has long since been abandoned, its signal from facility B-33 reaches other anchor points still. Eager to shine and impress their benefactors, the director ordered the work rushed with first tests being scheduled mere months after re-opening the files. A secondary device has quickly been built amidst the safe walls of City Fifty-Three. The tests weren't even officially documented, with various "volunteers" picked off of the streets and prisoners transported from Detainee Site 072. Within a moment's notice, the expedition was ready – though as unstable in structure as the project itself. The tasks were simple, enter the teleportation device and report by using terminals present at facility B-33. After that, scavenge what you can and await a dropship transport that would arrive within a period of twenty-four hours.
This can only go right, glory be to our Benefactors and the blossoming future!
- ROLES -
Site 072 prisoners (10/∞) (Only discord PM required, application at your discretion)
Anti-citizens, deserviced officers, miscounts, and Vortigaunts alike, put up in the old Gulag for countless reasons. Being sent off as test subjects to a project you have no idea about is a nice change from doing heavy labor in an extreme climate. All you know is, you have been promised a re-integration into society, should you follow along and see this project done. Of course, it’s also an opportunity for a different kind of...freedom.
Volunteer Civilian (2/8)
Members of CMU, CWU, or just regular citizenry picked off the streets and faced with a choice of joining the program or getting beaten like there’s no tomorrow. You’re about as valuable and essential as the prisoners, with your expertise being the only ticket out of joining them. You should have totally picked the beating.
Volunteer Civil Protection (FULL - One RL + Four Standard Units, RCT allowed)
(5/5)
Either desperate enough to enlist on their own or faced with their family cohesion suddenly disappearing, those brave officers are the main backbone of keeping things running accordingly. They have been told the basics of what to do, with their main goal being to keep the working class and prisoners at bay. The real question is, who even is the prisoner here at this point? For the sake of story, MMR/MR is not forced on any unit, including RL.
Overwatch Transhuman Arm (FULL - OSL+OCS+OCS) (3/3)
Dragged into this only thanks to the sheer campaign of lies and intimidation from the lead Director. They are tasked with keeping the expedition leaders safe and securing any document or device deemed too important for the citizenry to handle. With their contact limited to only terminals present at the site, they’ll have to rely on none other but one another to see this mission to its appropriate end.
Expedition Leaders (1/2)
Two of the scientists selected from the HERMES crew. They were judged by their dedication and knowledge of the project, before either as punishment or a reward becoming the expedition leaders. They are tasked with overseeing the entire endeavor, guiding the rest of the expedition, and maintaining constant terminal contact with City Fifty-Three. They have been told that it’s easier to work as a duo but in reality, the estimated results expect only one of them to survive. They have the full project knowledge and it's in their hands to relay it over to others. Damned be the fate of the expedition if none make it back alive...
