Whoops, I'm not sure I intended Impending Doom to be required-sounding. I'll be sure to change that. If anyone is a party pooper and decides that now's the chance to go back on their promise of impending doom, I won't blame you. As much.

Apparantly there's a link to my character sheet in the OP,what's up with that?
What if people want to see your character sheet? Surely, a link to the sheet would be a nice way to find it?

I might decide to change where I list sheets once I start, but linking directly works for the moment.

Which strains interest you the most at the moment? Currently, I'm interested in Strain A, H,I,K,N,Q and V.
Not to get you down, but given the dice hates everyone, they probably aren't going to give you what Strains you want. Don't get too excited.

Tarran has the "Tarran Bug", a bug which causes the affected character to repeatedly hit teammates while dual-wielding instead of whatever the hell he is shooting at.

Oh I'm perfectly aware of that. I'm just saying, those are the ones I'm most interested in.

Posted sheet in my first post. It's fairly science heavy, but this is minimalish so you didn't care much what details got included anyway. :)

Science is always important. But it needs more flaming cats. Can't we build bridge-based catapults and fling flaming cats at the dust and goo?

It's time for the ATHATH Death Counter to increase once more in celebration for the end of the world.

Reserved.
Kind of a weak reserve considering all the slots are already filled!



OK, let's see, for starting characters we have for the starting group...
1 scientist that is pretty adept in everything except microbes
1 insane person
1 mechanic
1 extremely smart person
1 programmer
1 sports enthusiast
1 middle-aged person

Why does it feel like almost everyone's not actually suited for the job of microbe experimentation?

Anyway, first turn sometime later when I feel like it (no actions for the first). For now, a storage for the various character sheets to prevent tampering, not that I don't trust you all. I just thought I should protect them from tampering. Yes.

My is actually based on someone I know who work in the study of microbes. Name and looks changed, but she has a fear of mirrors(thus evil twin).

Maybe Vanaard Corp. has a very unreliable resume checker?

Vanaard Corp isn't the most competent, but they aren't supposed to be outright stupid. They aren't supposed to be a stereotypical stupid-unrestrained corporation, they're supposed to be moderately-competent. Not brilliant, yet far from stupid.

Also, I've roll the strains and... oh my.

Anyway, everyone's turns are done, but I'm going to type down a bunch information about the building you guys are in so you don't have to ever ask "Where should I go" or "Where can I go" in 95% of the cases where you don't know where to go. May take a bit.

Okay, time to start rolling the stone.

Anyway, making this was actually more difficult than I expected. If I confused you from somebody else in the statuses, please tell me. If I got anything else wrong, please tell me.

Everyone:
The screaming and the shooting continues down the hall. The sounds of infected also continue. There is a lot of pained screaming now, and you all think that things are already in the process of getting worse.

You all decide to look to one another. You all vaguely knew of eachother, but most of you treated eachother as nothing else but fellow employees. Considering you'll likely see eachother a lot for the rest of your lives unless something goes right, you all decide to introduce eachother to another...

Samarkand-Felicia Hasting:
Curses, your predictions were correct. You and your fellow employees did in fact do something wrong. You spilled the goo on eachother. Now these unknown microbes are probably infecting each of you as we speak. Could it get any worse? Yes. It probably is going to-

Strain roll: D, Eldrich Horror.

Suddenly, your mouth contorts in pain as your teeth sharpen, your mouth widens, and... well, let's just say nobody's ever going to kiss you while you look like this. Also, you're going to sound creepy when you talk.

Also, you're badly hurt by the mutation. Fortunately, you'll be healing in a short bit. Not that your character knows or anything. Too busy freaking out about the new mutation.

darkpaladin109-Doktorr von Dwarf:
You're not sure whether to be angry, scared, or excited. While this is all quite exciting, with these unidentified microbes in everyone's bodies, doing science by the second, you're quite upset that YOU are one of the infected. You worry about creating the perfect monster, yet you'll probably be the mon-

Strain Roll: F, The Mass.

Suddenly, your short legs beef up absurdly, and your toes split apart and merge into two large and equal toes seperated by about a 30 degree angle. Your toenails also become sharp talons. Your shoes are rather quickly ruined. Also, your skin becomes slightly paler, and you begin to lose sense of your true form.

The mutation hurt a tiny bit, but otherwise if it weren't for the fact that it was such a massive mutation you wouldn't have noticed it.

blazing glory-Starn Gundar:
Damn these people. Damn your eagerness. You shouldn't have accepted that job messing with the meteorite, because now you're infected with some unknown virus and now you're also stuck with 7 other people. This is hardly-

Strain Roll: V, The Storyteller.

Suddenly, your eyes become yellow, your teeth sharpen, and your hair begins falling off. Scales begin growing all over your body, too. You also begin to feel your mind splitting, though for now nothing else happens.

Fortunately, this doesn't hurt at all.

BlitzDungeoneer-Zack Abrams:
You knew you shouldn't have messed with these microbes. You also know you shouldn't have bred them so explosively. But you couldn't resist the domineering influence of your other employees, and the worry that you might fail Vanaard Corp. Now, you've messed with the unknown, and-

Strain Roll: P, The Insectoid.

Suddenly, you feel very sleepy. You fall unconscious on your feet, and you miss what happens next. For everyone else, however, they see you molt into what is basically a giant Mantis, except vaguely humanoid in shape. You wake up shortly after, confused. Your eyesight is suddenly more blurry, and... why do you have no hands? Oh god, you're a giant Mantisman!

Fortunately, you are not injured. Minor details, right?

TamerVirus-Jimbo:
Why did you accept this job? Why? You aren't even a specialist in microbes, just a computer nerd. You should've stayed with your friends in Level -3, not come down here to mess with god-knows-what. Now you'll probably die from horrific monstrosities from another world brought to Earth. Can it get any-

Strain Roll: X, The Wereizer.

Suddenly, tusks extend forth from your mouth, your nose contorts, your legs turn into hoofs, and you become extremely furry... You are now a Wereboar. You are no longer wimpy, but now you are butt ugly and are awkward on your feet. Not sure whether you came out on top.

Fortunately, you didn't get injured in the process.

scapheap-Ashley Courtac:
Curses, you should've left for Tennis earlier. You also probably should've changed in a different room. Changing clothes right in the middle of a quarantined room was probably a bad idea, though the influence of bad luck was the other half that screwed you. Something bad probably will happen, seeing as you didn't get the chance to inspect-

Strain Roll: T, Xeno Gardeners.

Suddenly, your hair falls off and long, thick tendrils of black, dry, tough material spurt out the back of your head. Your skin on your head also becomes highly blackened and of the same consistency of the tendrils, while bumps of blue, bioluminescent material begins appearing on the blackened spots. Also, you are in intense pain throughout your body.

Also, as with the pain, you are extremely damaged by this mutilation of your body.

sjm9876-Malcolm:
Fools, idiots, morons. Why did they have to breed the microbes so fast? They could've taken it slower and Vanaard Corp wouldn't have noticed. Instead, they breeded these aliens so fast that they somehow needed entire barrels to contain them. It's no surprise that they spilled. What were they-

Strain Roll: U, The Crystalizer

Suddenly, your legs stiffen and become more jagged. When you check, you find out that, from the knee down, you're now made out of Phyllite. You're not sure whether this is neat or horrific. Oh well, at least it isn't marble--you won't look like some living Greek statue.

It still hurts though, you're fairly wounded by the transformation.

Harry Baldman-Elsa Marie Quincy:
Urgh, you're going to have to take a bath after this. Who knows what horrific things you bathed in for a second or two? Also, your hair is all messed up now, so you'll have to get it back in shape. Unfortunately, you'll probably have to wait a while for-

Strain Roll: G, The Goo.

Suddenly, your hair falls off and your mouth disappears, yet somehow you can still talk (obvious handwaving). Your head also feels somewhat more... gelatinous. You have the distinct feeling that your good looks are not so good anymore. Feel free to freak out.

Fortunately, you aren't hurt by the mutation. But your looks! Your looks! All you have left are your "assets", your head is ugly!

Everyone:
Okay, this is more than a little awkward, seeing everyone mutate horrifically at once. But now's not the time to stand around and wail in misery: If you stay down here, Bad Things probably will happen to you.

However, you all highly doubt that these viruses are just going to stay contained here. Chances are, they're going to spread and cause chaos, possibly dooming the world. To save the world, you have to research these things and find the cures. However, as per Quarantine procedures, every bit of computer data has been wiped from computers in the quarantined areas and moved to the central computer hub in Level -3. You'll really need that data if you ever hope to cure these microbes.

Time to get to work.

Or die. Whatever floats your horrific floatation organs.

((I'm not an expert at introductions, hopefully this is enough for you all))
