This is a test drive for The Last Resort. You can use one of the handy prompts or make up your own.
Prompts
Prompt #1
Your character is sent as part of a team to explore Subterranean Library #12. There are hostiles hiding in the dark that have to be safely bypassed without creating explosions and without getting shot. There are books that can be brought to the museum (or sold). What happens if two people with different intentions collide?
Prompt #2
So your character is out in the desert. It might be for a dig, a nice walk, doing something they shouldn't. Who knows? But unfortunately one of the worst invasive species is about to rear its head: a young sandworm.
This isn't something that happens often to people, and even this young it's going to take more than a normal gun as permitted on the planet, or the limited abilities that people currently possess. Most of what you would do would just slow it down.
This is one of these cases where it's better to run; you want to get to security or to a guide and report this, and you want to get out of the range of those teeth as fast as you can.
Prompt #3
You've been given a chance to tell the entire universe about your reasons for coming to the village and town as a part of a documentary in progress. Alternately, you have done so and are being confronted by your first fan in front of a friend. They've read all your fanfiction,, they ship you with some other import (maybe your friend, maybe someone else, maybe they actually hate your friend), and they printed out a picture of you that they want to have signed.
Prompt #4
Choose your own adventure (first network or log posts can later be used as game canon once related apps are approved).
Please help tag out if you're currently in the game and help introduce people to the game. If you have definitive preferences in play style, please mention it in your posts.
Grainne folds her arms while still in spirit form, and moves closer to this girl. Whatever she's up to, it's not to help document these books and turn them over to the museum.
When she's right behind the girl, Grainne materializes again.]
Did you think I would not notice books going missing under my nose?
[Lily starts, yipes, and whirls around, snapping a trench knife up off her belt and raising it to eye level, dropping into a defensive stance. When the woman doesn't attack, Lily lowers her guard, but not by much. She puts the knife away, at least.]
[Lily considers the question for a few moments, musing on the weight of her bag and the fact that there's still much of the library she hasn't seen. With a disappointed sigh, she nods, stacking the three books on top of one another and sliding them in the woman's direction.]
[Color Grainne even more unimpressed. Not only is what the girl proposing illegal but she could get into trouble with the black markets that she keeps hearing whispers about.]
[Lily takes a rapid step back and puts her hand over her bag.]
Nope.
[Science] And I've been cataloging the various languages I've run into and I've installed a translator widget into my Pip-Boy, so they only need to be in a language I've seen before.

no subject
Folks usually don't, not in my experience.
no subject
So will you return those books now that you have been caught?
no subject
Yeah, I guess so.
no subject
[Don't think Grainne is that stupid. She's had a fair number of children to raise and can tell when someone's trying to get away with something.]
Theft of the artifacts is not looked kindly upon, you know.
no subject
Nuh-uh. These are mine; I found them and I'm gonna use them. There are plenty of other books in this library.
no subject

Let me see one.
no subject
Nope.

Why aren't you working with the scientists? Something like that would greatly enhance their efforts. They would probably even reward you.
