You awaken covered in a green, slimy substance. You have no memory of where you are, how you got here, or even your own name. Perhaps if you try hard enough, something may come back to you.

>The people always called you SUBJECT 71. You call yourself Ti.

That's right...



They used to call you 71-A... At least, the ones in white did... It wasn't your name though... You believe you were called Ti at one point. There's also a third name, it's at the edge of your memory, but you cannot recall what it is. Perhaps something will jog your memory later.



For now, it's probably better to figure out where you are, or at least, what to do now.

Oh sweet Daedalusventure.

Check out that blue thing to the left (your right)

[TheBoyd]

Look over that railing.

[Daedalus]

Look over that railing.

Well, there's a whole lot of nothing... It's too dark to really make any details out but you can see enough to assume that below you, as well as across the gap are identical hallways to the one you're standing in now.

Check out that blue thing to the left (your right)

You look over the odd blue object on the wall, you can hear a small hum from it as you approach, you can see something twitching around inside the small dome.

CENTURIONS: DOMINANT SPECIES OF THE TRI-GALACTIC EMPIRE. SENTIENCE LEVEL 20. HOMEWORLD : TARLOS. HISTORY: THE CENTURIONS EVOLVED ON THE PLANET TARLOS IN THE GALAMAR-OXIS GALAXY APPROXIMATELY 125 674 734 531 LIGHTYEARS FROM THIS LOCATION. WITHIN 10 000 OF THE CENTURIONS TAKING ON THEIR BASIC FORM, THEY HAD SUCCESSFULLY TERRAFORMED THEIR SOLAR SYSTEM AND BEGAN TO EXPAND THEIR EMPIRE. FORMING THE FIRST CENTURION GALACTIC EMPIRE WITHIN 500 000 YEARS. WITH THE DISCOVERY OF THE CURRENT, TRAVEL BETWEEN THE EMPIRE AND NEIGHBORING GALAXIES BECAME NEAR INSTANTANEOUS, ALLOWING THE EMPIRE TO EXPAND BEYOND ANY EXPECTIONS. IN THE YEAR 742 634 THE NAZARAK WERE DISCOVERED IN THE YOROTH-JADDAD GALAXY BEGINNING THE MILLION YEAR WAR. THE WAR FINALLY ENDED WITH THE SUCCESS OF OPERATION: LAST RESORT. MORE IN DEPTH INFORMATION CAN BE FOUND AT A PROPER DATA TERMINAL.

Are there other pods next to yours? if you're 71-A then whats on either side?

So... this update was actually supposed to be up 2 days ago, but literally as I was posting, our service provider cut us off and only now has the new one kicked in.

> Multiple deaths!?

MAJORITY OF TESTS PERFORMED ON SUBJECTS HAVE 99.999% FATALITY RATE.

>Define Operation LAST RESORT.

show spoiler

OPERATION: LAST RESORT WAS THE FINAL MILITARY OPERATION IN THE MILLION YEAR WAR AGAINST THE NAZARAK. UNTIL THIS POINT, IT HAD TAKEN ALL THE RESOURCES OF THE TRI-GALAXIES TO CONTAIN THE NAZARAK IN THEIR HOME GALAXY. THE NAZARAK WOULD SOON BREACH THE CONTAINMENT AND THE TRI-GALAXIES WOULD FALL. WITH ALL OTHER PROJECTS ENDING IN FAILURE, OR SIMPLY NOT PRODUCING RESULTS FAST ENOUGH, THE CENTURION CONSOLE AUTHORIZED THE USE OF THE PARADOX BOMB. IF THE OPERATION WAS SUCCESSFUL, THE NAZARAK WOULD BE ERADICATED FROM HISTORY. FAILURE WOULD RESULT IN A HOLE IN REALITY AS A BEST CASE SCENARIO. tHE OPERATION ENTAILED FIRING TWO POWERFUL EXPLOSIVES TO THE CENTER OF THE YOROTH-JADDAD GALAXY. ONE WOULD BE FIRED THROUGH NORMAL SPACE AND SUPPORTED BY THE STRENGTH OF THE ENTIRE CENTURION FLEET WHILE THE OTHER WAS FIRED THROUGH THE CURRENT. THE SIMULTANEOUS DETONATION OF BOTH EXPLOSIVES WOULD RESULT IN A GALACTIC SCALE EXPLOSION STRIKING EVERY POINT IN SPACE AND TIME. PARADOX SUPPRESSION UNITS WOULD THEN LINE THE ENTIRE AREA OF THE GALAXY AS TO PREVENT ANY FURTHER DAMAGE TO SPACE/TIME.
