CYOA: downGRADE
« on: May 22, 2016, 11:30:50 am »

Your body is a collection of special components. Each one specialized, collectively you can handle any challenge... except one.

Your body is a collection of keys. There are five challenges for you to overcome. The order you take these challenges on is up to you. Completing one of them means leaving a part of you behind...

Left arm: flamethrower
Right arm: drill
Body: regenerating shield
Left leg: pistol carrier
Right leg: long-range communicator
Head: predictive targeting

You arrive at the warehouse. You see 8 enemies, weak micro sentinals, the weakest of the invading forces. Victory is assured. Describe how you pulverize them all.

This is a cyoa. Post what you'd like the character to do, or quote someone else's if you like theirs. The most popular one wins.

Trust in the regenerating shield to absorb all incoming fire whilst we march towards the sentinels. Ignite them with the flamethrower and then drill any that survive to melee range.

The smoldering rubble crunches under your feet as you walk to the computer and look on the screen. The 3D digital hologram lifts off the panel. This is exactly what you needed. You are going to take the opposition down piece-by-piece. Where do we go first?

A. Disable their sea vessels. Lose long-range communicator.
B. Disable their mass infantry. Lose pistol.
C. Disable their special forces. Lose flamethrower.
D. Disable their spy drones. Lose drill.
E. Disable their leadership. Lose shield and advanced targeting.

The first target: The Citadel. The invading forces have left themselves poorly defended, surely they didn't expect anyone to have the information you do. Suddenly you spot a task force patrolling. You could take them out but the disturbance would risk retaliation on a large scale. Or protective measures of the target you do not want to see followed through. Back at base they are running an active sweep of the area they guide you to the first checkpoint. Suddenly a new task force lands just next to you and base is able to come up with a plan to get you around them and directly in front of your target. You step forward and plug your body into the crevasse as you back out your head and chest armor stays inside as a neon spider web of data leeches out into the facility. You put your drill arm on your face and chest and take in your new self feeling somewhat drained of power now. Meanwhile large columns of flame rip up as devastating explosions take down the leadership facility. Choose your next target.

((Huh. I'm kind of confused on what's happening in the writing, but maybe it'll all make sense after we lose all of our parts.))
