@Rockin Strings Think of a post that moves us along to the plot and intrigue.
Nothing against conversation, BTW. However, if people could poke other people every now and again, that'd be great.
@HueMan Well, when Vol pokes me because the actual designer's not happy, you can imagine that I am displeased by the error. I'm just going on record to say "No, there was not an unwarranted claim of credit by me. I didn't do it.".
Professor Madness did not design anything but the Tower of Knowledge and add one feature to the arena. He did not design the Fallen Kingdom OR the Arena.

I assume everyone can see Zeroeth posts once revealed. (First time wrangling with 'em.) RP is now started.

SimpleWriter, post your character in the section when you have the chance. I know you must be busy or something.
"A new viral outbreak, a parasitic plague, has been detected..."

A threat on the outer rim of known space.

"Galactic Citizens flee their homes as quarantines and sterilizations go into effect..."

A panic is stirred as the danger looms ever close.

"Authorities still attempting to locate the traitor, Samus Aran..."

And the savior? Nowhere to be found.

With all life hanging in the balance, with the worst possible outcome taking place, with doom on the horizon...

It's time to take the last resort, and finish it, once and for all.

Final Protocol

<<<<<<<<<<OOO>>>>>>>>>>


You were all brought in at once. Well, 'brought in' is not entirely true. Lured in, more like. The Galactic Federation selected you among thousands to contact for this mission. Every last word spoken to you was calculated to play upon your leanings, your vices, your ways of life. Whether it was out of patriotism or scientific curiosity or to guarantee the safety of others or the ultimate challenge or even just cold hard cash, you were in and they knew you were in, because your character was assessed for your reasoning capacity, ability to follow orders for at least common sensical reasons, your leanings in terms of general trust or loyalty, and of course every means possible to keep you hooked. They had you pegged, and you were offered your heart's desire.

All you had to do was save the galaxy.

It was no easy feat, of course. Everyone's seen the news: Viral plague known as Parasite X infests planet, evacuations carried out as long as possible, planet firebombed from orbit to prevent the growth and spread of the creatures that emerged. Officially, the Space Pirates are blamed and Samus Aran stands accused of taking the last Metroid - which can most-assuredly devour the X - and leaving the galaxy in this state, a treacherous act. Unofficially, you don't know for sure. You're being told that the mission, to be disclosed in full only at the briefing, is to eliminate the threat of the X. You're given assurances that equipment that will protect you will be provided, and that measures are being taken to try and save whole planets with upscaled versions of said equipment. However, they need you. They need you to come in, hear the plan on how to deal with this situation, and then to move out.

It's a practical certainty that they want you to bring in the Bounty Hunter, Samus Aran.

Whatever the reason, whatever is going to happen, and despite the fact that you may not entirely trust the higher-ups of the Galactic Federation, you've gone. You were asked to report to the Phalanx Military Base on Earth. Normally, you would expect to be sent straight to the HQ of the Galactic Federation, but it is understandably VERY busy over there right now. Admiral Garrett asked you here to take on this confidential mission. All who arrive are sent to a waiting room not far from where the mission briefing will take place, the base commander assuring you that after everyone is confirmed to arrived or confirmed as not coming, the meeting will begin. You sit down and...holy crap, is that a dragon?! With all the infamy behind the Space Pirate leader, Ridley, it's easy to forget that there are such beings who are NOT scourges to the entire galaxy.

So, who all is here, then?
@AlternateMan I believe things are properly balanced here. Our scientist enjoys a certain level of technical proficiency, your character has siimilar in a more utility fashion, the dragon holds the strange of an exotic species, the heliokinetic has unusual psyonics and cybernetic backing, and our latest has essentially stolen biotech. We're well-formed here, and the last member fills in one final gap.
@EnterTheHero Oh hell. You're in THAT area? Makes me feel like I've no right to complain. Stay safe there, man.
@GarlandDaHero@SimpleWriter You two seem fine to me. Post your profiles in the character section, please. I may not begin tonight because I just had a close call with my computer and I want to get me mind down from "Holy fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck" for a while and make sure it's okay.
@GarlandDaHero I'm a'looking it over. I wanted to address concerns of when-begin first.
