Oh, btw guys. You know that supersoldier recap thing I posted a really long time ago? Yeah, that was cool. But I've made a new one!

Basically, I've went through the whole thing and corrected countless formatting errors, typos, inconsistencies, obvious grammatical errors in suggestions, and sneaked in an update I forgot to include in the old one, so it's much more pleasant to read now. Also, all the images are packed with the page so your intarweb connection (and Tangleworm's imageshack account) isn't raped as your computer tries to load all 450+ images from supersoldier at once. Yeah, that was a pretty bad oversight. But this one is much less laggy, and a good deal more convenient

However, two images are broken because Tangleworm apparently accidentally moved them on imageshack. They are, "supersoldier173.png" (samurai sequence) and the one where Simon splits the second wire on the first super's visor and inadvertently kills him via killtox. Neither of them are that important though.

If you don't want to give your real email address, just use guerillamail.net or something similar. I would find another site to put it on, but it take forever to upload it x_x

-------

You live in a world where war has dragged on for centuries. It was here when you were born. It was here when your parents were born, and their parents. It was here at the very advent of technology.
It has been here long enough that nobody remembers what they're fighting for anymore.

Time has whittled down the contenders in this endless, pointless war to two nations. Names are unimportant in these times. Your allies have done the unthinkable: they have conspired to end the war. Through decades of planning, engineering, and secrecy, they have created...you. Though once a mundane human, your body is now more machine than man. You live for no other purpose. You barely remember your own name.

It is the day of deployment. There are scarce minutes before you are sent into combat, which your superiors have dedicated to practice.



You are in the testing chamber. Moving holographic targets surround you, taunting at you to test your abilities.

What do you do?

[RedMage]

Bust through the simulation room like the kool-aid man saying "Oh yeah!!" and kick major military trainer ass.

[dexexe1234]

activate your energy halberd and attack the targets!

[Dentrala]

>Admire art

> Scan the area for targets. And energy halberd sounds awesome.

[GreyGabe]

>Don't forget to activate your Energy Resonance Shield. No need to get sloppy just because it's training.

[Tangleworm]

activate your energy halberd and attack the targets!

You break out your long-time favorite weapon and make a run for the nearest target.

To your satisfaction, the program deletes the target.
Inconvenient, however, is your apparent constructed intent of versatility. Whoever created this chamber renders all other targets immune to all types of attack that have been used before.

(I'll wait a bit, then compile some commands later)

[AllIsLost]

Tentacle arm.

[NaiveOne]

>Fire energy beams from your hand.

[RedMage]

Finger laser knifes

[GreyGabe]

>Fire your arm-mounted Flechette Rifle.

Sorry for the delay, had to go do something.

Tentacle arm.

>Fire energy beams from your hand.

Finger laser knifes

>Fire your arm-mounted Flechette Rifle.

Your arm opens up, revealing an energy whip that most simply call the "tentacle".

You leave the spinning momentum unbroken, turning around on your heel and firing a palm blast.

You then turn around again, turning a would-be backstabber into shreds.

Finally, you aim at the last target, puncturing it three times with your trusty flechette rifle.

That's the last update for the moment, sorry. I've got something planned, though. Any comments on it so far?

[RedMage]

comment = awesome so far. You've been able to display all weaponry successfully as well as the demeaning results of their use. Also the tentacle arm thing.

> Channel energy to your helmet for a 20 meter-radius OPTIC RAY for the upcoming 50-target swarm you can sense.

[GreyGabe]

Very nice thus far. I like your character design and your action sequence.

>Scan for more targets.

[Waterlemon]

> Scan self.

[Aryogaton]

>Ask for a more challenging challenge.

[AllIsLost]

If it's up to me, this will never die.

Also, jetboots. With jet hands and small wings for stability.

[Tangleworm]

You begin to charge your helmet...

Huh?

Something just...!

Just...!



...


Your name is Simon Locke. You feel like you've just woken up, though somehow you're standing. There's a strange broken device on your head. You have a strange feeling washing out of your hands for a few moments, but it's soon gone.

[AllIsLost]

Leave. No regrets.

[Gustave]

>Examine memories.

[Tangleworm]

[First Person view]

The door is metal, and doesn't have any visible handles. there's some sort of cabinet on the wall. The interface that you're seeing all of this through is dead and unlit, though you can see it well.

You don't remember much in the recent events leading up to here. You are a man who was once honorably discharged from the army following an encounter that paralyzed your legs. You are happy that you've regained the ability to walk, but your body feels...unfamiliar.

[Doctor Unlikely]

Check out the interface.

[Tangleworm]

Check out the interface.

The device is currently broken, and the interface at the moment is no more than some blue lines on the inside of it.

[Doctor Unlikely]

See if the door is pushable, and if you're feeling up to it, try to kick it down.

[Tangleworm]

See if the door is pushable, and if you're feeling up to it, try to kick it down.

The door, even after being subjected to your newly-able, army-strong legs, does not budge.

[Doctor Unlikely]

Alright... what else is in the room? Check the other side of the room.
