TEST DRIVE & SIMULATION #3
▶ 001. ARRIVAL / CAFETERIA.
It happens in the blink of an eye -- a dash of time. You're taken from where you were. What you were doing.. it isn't important anymore, and slowly, you give up to desire your normal life. When you awake, figures are looking down on you from a surgical table.
"Yeah, this one will do; let's take them to the rest," That's all you see before losing consciousness again, only to wake up in a pod with many others.
"Your questions will be answered soon enough as I'm sure you will have many," a female, robotic voice says.
Just then, your pod opens in a dim corridor with many others. Your new life is about to begin... whether you like it or not.
The pods drain their stasis fluid which wakens each Outsider. When Outsiders emerge from their pod in only their undergarments which have been supplied to them and head to a locker room in the medical bay, to find a towel to dry off with, a set of gray loungewear to wear as LILITH makes the final decision in organizing the Outsider to their rightful teams. If a character has any accessibility needs, they will be found here. It's about then they will feel a sharp pain at the back of their eyes, almost like there’s a foreign body lodged on the inside of their head. This pain will subside quickly as their body adapts to the changes, but there will always be a sensation of something being not quite right. That their bodies have been changed forever. They would be correct in thinking that. In the pod, all Outsiders have been surgically fitted with ocular and brain implants that will enable them to communicate with LILITH and the rest of the crew, and feed them the information they require. Almost like a computer screen has been loaded into their brains, they will see a loading screen as the implant completes its download. A questionnaire will then pop up, waiting for their answer. A voice, robotic and feminine, will also read along in their brain for them.
█ █ █ LOADING COMPLETE … BEGIN ORIENTATION …
The system will give Outsiders one chance to provide a truthful answer and choose their username and civilian identity. Should they refuse to cooperate, the implant will download the answer directly from their brain (and give them a username or civilian name against their will). This questionnaire will then be posted on the network for all to view and reply to. Almost like an ice-breaker, if you will. LILITH wants all their newest recruits to learn about each other!
Outsiders will receive a quick brief about their situation: They will be told that the year is 2278, and they have been taken to Neo Tokyo, one of the last bastions of mankind in a world terrorized by various Kaiju and monsters. Only a third of the population remains, and LILITH has gathered talented people from other dimensions here as a last ditch effort to save humanity. Outsiders are free to continue asking LILITH questions through their implant, but there’s no guarantee they will provide them with a straight answer …
Outsiders will also notice an implant in their dominant wrist. This implant has a barcode in it that will enable them to purchase goods from the local stores in Neo Tokyo. They will receive a starting balance of 10,000 KRYPTOS (about USD 66), which is barely enough for a few good meals, groceries and supplies. They can view their current balance through a hologram window projected by their ocular implant.
Once they leave the medical bay, they’ll be able to grab a quick meal in the cafeteria and mingle with the other Outsiders just waking up. Today’s menu is oniku sashimi, miso soup, and ginger salad, all packed neatly in a food ration tray. Oniku is whale tail meat. Huh. There's been a whale theme going around here lately. Must be a coincidence... right?

This meal is a delicacy in some parts, so feel free to express your undying gratitude."
▶ 002. SUBJECT NOT FOUND.
Early in the morning on March 2nd, the power suddenly goes out. Outsiders may wake up to find that wake-up alarms never went off, the coffee machines don't work, and breakfast isn't ready in the cafeteria because of the sudden outage. Early risers may find themselves trapped in their team wings when automatic doors refuse to budge and those who are particularly unlucky may find themselves stuck in an elevator.
Within the hour, the power boots back up again and life on base returns mostly to normal. The only inconvenience seems to be a haphazardly thrown-together breakfast consisting of whatever could be made without power quickly. As the day goes on, observant characters may notice something amiss. They can catch some LILITH workers whispering to each other and there seem to be more agents in fancy suits roaming around.
If they find themselves in the right place, Outsiders may find that one of the many research labs on base is locked down and they won't be allowed to enter. If they ask one of the guards keeping watch, they will simply be told to move along. Asking some of the researchers or other workers in the area will reveal "something" happened during the power outage in the morning.
By evening, everyone's ocular implants will flash a quick notice:

By evening, everyone's ocular implants will flash a quick notice:
|| MISSING PERSON
Name: Dr. Tanaka Junichiro
Role: LILITH Researcher.
Specialty: Genetic Research (Native Species and Kaiju)
Details: Latest available security footage depicts Dr. Tanaka stationed in their lab at LILITH Research Base. At 0735hrs on the morning of 2 March, a power disturbance struck all LILITH networks, resulting in all security monitoring systems within the area going offline briefly. After this disturbance was resolved, Dr. Tanaka was reported missing from their designated station under mysterious circumstances. Other resources missing from the base include: Research files and various live and deceased specimens.
Any clues on Dr. Tanaka's whereabouts are to be surrendered to LILITH immediately. Dr. Tanaka's primary research involved DNA splicing and induced evolution. Any information or clues regarding them or their work is highly valued. It is our top objective to ensure the safe return of our valuable staff members. ||
▶ 003. CLAWS FOR CONCERN.
Shortly after the disappearance of Dr. Tanaka, Outsiders who wander the back alleys and keep an ear open will hear whispers of exotic animals and chimera being traded for meat, entertainment and pet ownership. Most of this talk will be heard near the biggest black market in Shinjuku, "Starlight X". It's a novelty within Neo Tokyo and word gets out quick, even if the residents are hush-hush about where they got their sources from. Photos of these hybrids show up on social media to the astonishment and skepticism of the citizens. To find Starlight X, Outsiders will have to travel underground, taking the term underground market quite literally. There is an entrance way in a nearby alley without too much security; with the lack of policemen, now, people might as well sell their illegal substances on the surface.
Once there, Outsiders will be able to discover a plethora of suspicious things for purchase: such as recreational drugs, performance-enhancing nanobots, assorted weapons (some legal and some not), unlabeled meats, the … services of suspicious people, and a whole lot of junk. While visiting Starlight X, some of these creature hybrids even get loose and need to be captured before they draw too much attention. LILITH advises Outsiders to turn in any such specimens, live or dead, or put in a report immediately upon seeing them. Withholding such information or keeping a specimen for yourself may result in unwanted consequences if LILITH comes to find out.
These hybrids are generally small and mostly harmless, no doubt being traded for companionship and novelty. Cats that look like small lions or tigers, canaries with peacock feathers, frogs with wings, and so on (players may use their imagination).
Any further questions regarding Starlight X can be asked below.

▶ 004. THE SAPPHIRE ROOM.
It becomes such a problem that LILITH can no longer ignore it. It's clear that someone - or a group of someones - have gotten their hands on LILITH's priceless specimens and data, and are testing the waters on what they can get away with. Allowing the public to get their hands on the smaller hybrids is one thing. According to word around the street, there's going to be an auction on the night of the 5th, and that's where the larger, more dangerous hybrids will be sold. Some even say you'll be able to find man-made monsters.
Closer to that date, LILITH decides to strike back to avoid further humiliation. With the help of their skilled informants, they've managed to secure the location, but ordering the Outsiders to storm the place like a military strike team just isn't an option. Said location is in a popular, bustling part of town, where the locals wine and dine. That would only cause panic and distrust amongst the people. The approach that's needed today ... is something more clandestine.
Outsiders will be briefed on the disguise and cover identity provided to them by LILITH, and temporarily granted a Style Upgrade to their chip to enable them to dress the part. (Players may make up their own cover identity for this mission. )
Hybrids within the auction include larger, more dangerous chimeras such as lion snapping-turtles, alligator-hippos, and snapping bears (among others). Smaller chimeras such as winged rabbits and seven-headed-snakes can also be found.
At the center of it all … the main event: An actual Kaiju hybrid. At the center of the stage is a miniature version of the Shachimon whales that had sewn chaos across the sea just a month before. She’s much smaller than her full sized counterparts, only about as large as a dog. It’s likely she’s been bred down with native marine life to make her more tameable and less able to completely topple a boat with her strength.
This is what the auction-goers had come to see and hopefully purchase today. What they want a half-Kaiju for remains to be seen, but LILITH is not about to let just anyone get their hands on their specimens.
Outsiders undertaking this mission may wrangle and capture the hybrid creatures (most of which will be aggressive) and fight off or capture the auction staff. Most of the staff will be armed with guns and cybernetic enhancements (e.g. bionic arms with lasers attached). They can be questioned but not all of them are happy to answer. Unfortunately, the ringleaders will slip away in the chaos before anyone can capture them. A message from Captain Yamakawa projects into the implant late into the night (and if you were sleeping by this hour of 2 a.m, you're about to be woken up.)

|| MISSION: Infiltration of The Sapphire Room
LOCATION: The Sapphire Room, in Roppongi. A popular and exclusive nightclub serving a lavish experience to those who can afford it.
DETAILS: Sources reveal that The Sapphire Room, while a fully functioning club, has also been playing host to suspicious activities and trading in their exclusive underground rooms. An illegal auction is currently being held at the end of this week, which happens to be their Couples' Night. To gain access into this auction, Outsiders are to pair up and maintain appropriate cover. Information about your disguises have been downloaded into your chips.
OBJECTIVE:
✖ Infiltrate the secret auction occurring in The Sapphire Room as a pair.
✖ Disrupt the auction using any means possible.
✖ Capture hybrid specimens and surrender them to LILITH.
✖ Capture the perpetrators for questioning.
✖ Obtain any research data available and surrender it to LILITH. ||

"This is unacceptable. Angels of LILITH, please be on the lookout for the organizers of this crime. This kind of theft is unforgivable. We are investigating their identities, but any further information regarding those that got away is appreciated."
▶ 005. SIMULATION.
While Outsider are given some time to rest and recover from their battle in February, it doesn't take long for their training to kick back up again. Outsiders will be summoned to the simulation room and instructed to put on their LILITH-issued plugsuits. They will be paired or put into groups for another battle simulation. After being ushed into the training grounds, the room will turn pitch black and a briefing sheet will be projected from their eye implant.
They will be able to access the briefing sheet at any time during the simulation by simply asking to see it. After each Outsider has read the mission brief, the simulation will begin, and they will find themselves in Singapore. The city is lively and all seems well and ordinary with civilians going about their daily lives. The weather is warm and sunny and it's a beautiful day.
Suddenly, screams break out from a nearby Hawker centre. A small group of civilians go on a rampage and begin chasing after the crowds. They move quickly but awkwardly as if they aren't in total control of their bodies. They try to attack other people in any way possible and cannot listen to reason. Rendering the disturbed civilians dead or unconscious will result in a large hornet emerging from a melted hole somewhere on the victim's body. The hornets must be destroyed before they possess another host. It isn't just the humans that can be taken over: Some of the suzume-bachi will infect the local animal life as well.
If you look around, there are still many people running around and curious onlookers trying to catch a peek inside. With so many hosts milling around, the suzume-bachi could be anywhere among us.

█ █ █ MONSTER DEBRIEF SHEET:
NAME: SUZUME-BACHI
HEIGHT: 7.6-12 in.
WEIGHT: 2 kg
CLASS: UNKNOWN, CANNOT BE CLASSED.
THREAT LEVEL: MODERATE-SEVERE
LOCATION: Tropical climates with high humidity
ABILITIES: Parasitic and will enter a “host body” and try to gain control. Capable of entering other wildlife.
WEAKNESS: Ice (they cannot operate in cold climate), physical attacks.
EXTRA NOTES: Once they gain control over a lifeform, only rendering the host body unconscious will allow them to expose themselves. It is advised to kill them prior to have the entering ones body. The process of them latching on to take control is extremely invasive as they melt through skin to gain access to a body. Possessed bodies will behave aggressively and will try to lure others into areas of nesting for the SUZUME-BACHI. Highly protective of their hive and their “QUEEN”— please approach hives with caution and do not approach alone.
█ █ █ MISSION OBJECTIVE:
✖ Identify humans and creatures being controlled by the SUZUME-BACHI.
✖ Rescue civilians and clear all wildlife of being possessed by the SUZUME-BACHI.
✖ Help move civilians to underground safety bunker.
✖ Protect safe zones from SUZUME-BACHI.
EXTRA NOTES: Every SUZUME-BACHI killed equals 1 KILL point, freeing those who are under its control is 1 ASSIST point, and getting civilians to the shelter will give 1 RESCUE point.

no subject
[ He’s not going to make Tsuru do that. ]
no subject
(He's a much better sword to keep around. He's a proud spirit and he's not ashamed to show it.)
And if you have to use me... well, I've felt your hands before.
(When he handed him his sword in the infirmary. When he checked how his prosthetic felt.)
no subject
[ Like Aki has been feeling him up or whatever. People will get ideas, and he’s been nothing but polite.
Shaking his head, he rubs his prosthetic. ]
Maybe I shouldn’t chosen the laser instead. Then you wouldn’t have to worry about this.
no subject
(Say what like what? He's completely innocent.
He puts away his hologram screen for now so he can see Aki clearly.
"Do you really want me to use you if things go south?" "Maybe I should have chosen a laser instead. Then you wouldn't have to worry." What curious things to say and he cants his head to one side, observing the other before speaking, )
Do you usually think about others before yourself?
no subject
[ Maybe he was a little more selfish, once upon a time. Before Denji and Power, before his world was turned upside down. He’d only existed to get vengeance. Now… Now he’s a bit softer, and isn’t that just a problem in of itself. ]
I hadn’t noticed it one way or another.
no subject
(Is there?
(There is, but saying it out loud would be admitting it himself.)
So instead, he takes this and chooses to focus on something else.)
Then take care of me tonight. (On their assignment.) I'll be sure to do the same in turn.
no subject
[ As if Aki would let him get into trouble. Shaking his head, he gives Tsuru a small smile. ]
I'll take care of you, and you'll take care of me. Like partners.
[ Which leaves his chest aching, painfully. ]
no subject
Then promise me or you'll swallow a thousand needles.
("Cross my heart and hope to die."
It's childish way to make a promise but... he's already proven himself to be a whimsical and odd sort of spirit. But it's also his dominant hand where the implant is and they can exchange some information by swiping or making close contact. He can send the style upgrade to Aki this way.)
no subject
I promise. You have my word.
[ Happy now? ]
no subject
As for Tsurumaru himself, he really does seem happy. It's always fun when people go along with his energy.)
Let's see how it looks!
no subject
His hand skims down the clothes, stroking absently. ]
How do I look?
no subject
(Studying Aki and looking him up and down. It's impressive how well it fits on the first try but he supposes that's the way this sort of technology works, huh? He'll come over to adjust the handkerchief in the front pocket a bit to make it look a little less "fresh out the box.")
Impressive.
(He chose well!! He knows he did!! ... But he's going to undo the buttons right at his collar. While he does it, he mumbles to explain his actions,)
There's no reason to be uptight... (And once he's done, he smiles at Aki,) We're going to have fun.
no subject
This is too weird.
Looking down at Tsurumaru, he sighs softly. ]
I’m not-
[ His hand lifts to touch his neck, brushing Tsuru’s fingers as he does. Ah. Awkward. ]
It’s a job. We’re meant to have fun?
no subject
It's a night for lovers. Everyone is going to be having fun. (It's a couples night!!!) If we don't look like we're having fun, everyone will see we don't belong.
(Stepping back, he flips through his own clothing upgrade options for a moment... and switches a white three-piece suit with a dark, navy-black shirt. It isn't his usual style at all but he looks sharp and comfortable enough in it. )
no subject
We're here on a mission, so we're pretending to have fun - so I'll do my best. I know how to focus on my work.
[ He's well aware that he looks good, handsome with his hair down and in his face, his suit complimenting him well. Dark eyes flick over Tsurumaru before he nods his head, turning his gaze away for a moment.
Is he... Taking a selfie...? ]
no subject
Why pretend when you can just have fun...
(He holds up his head and shows off his new look, though. He wants to see what Aki thinks and... he just looks away? Takes a selfie?)
Did you just take a picture?
no subject
[ Like some kind of doting parent... Turning back, though, he ignores the pink of his cheeks. ]
Yes. To send to Denji.
no subject
(They're on the same team so of course they know each other.)
Shall we pick up something for him before we leave him home alone?
(What is this parent couples night do we need a get a babysitter sort of talk.......)
no subject
[ Aki is imagining the two of them together and getting hives. ]
No? If he needs something, he's able to go to the cafeteria.
[ Or Aki will have made him a bento or something already, don't question him ]
no subject
(How disappointing. He would have ordered Denji some cakes and other sweets... oh, well! Denji's loss now.)
Well then, shall we get ready?
(It's beginning to get dark out. They should head off to their assignment soon.)
no subject
He shakes his head, turning his attention away from the texting and back to Tsurumaru. They're supposed to be dating, right? So...
He offers out his arm. ]
Let's go.
no subject
Instead, he's happy to skip over to Aki's side and hook his arm with Aki's. He leans in far closer than they need to right now when they aren't even on duty but he's hugging him, practically hanging on at his side and looking up at him with bright, pale gold eyes and a playful smile, )
Anywhere you wish~
no subject
Is this what Denji meant when they talked? Ah, well.
Drawing Tsuru closer, as if they're actually on a date, he starts to lead him to where the mission briefing is directing them. ]
Try not to be too embarrassing.
no subject
(Clearly. He's teasing but he'll behave until they get closer to the Sapphire Room. They may look like an ordinary couple just walking leisurely in the evening but once the room comes into view and the briefing on their implant signals they've more or less arrived, he squeezes Aki's arm and starts to pull him ahead, )
Come on! There it is.
(He sounds excited, like he can't wait to get there. Looking back at Aki, he smiles. It may look innocent and cheerful enough but... maybe he looks a little too excited? Like he's having too much fun?)
no subject
Aki lets himself be lead, falling into a roll, pushing himself to stand up tall and act like some kind of sure, secure person. He's never been on any kind of date like this before, but... He can manage. He can seem as dangerous as possible.
Tugging him further, he sighs softly. ]
Let's get closer, okay? Maybe there's somewhere we can sit.
