CALHOUN HOUR - SURVIVOR
| At the crack of dawn, presumably, Calhoun gathers everyone in the first floor warehouse to make an announcement. "That's right, it's time for another of my special events!" He seems pretty pleased with himself. "I noticed you lazy, fat test subjects really let yourselves go last round! It's like I don't feed you here or something." "Well, I'm worried about your health, always lazing about and not getting proper exercise. So, I decided to be the change I want to see in the world, and so we're going to do something a littttttttllllllle different this time." "To stop you guys from getting soft from all the fun you're having here, it's time for a little workout." From one of the doors Calhoun never lets anyone go through there's a loud, metallic banging sound repeating, as if something is trying to get out. Calhoun does not seem troubled at all by this. In fact, he seems pretty excited. "The rules are simple, everyone's getting sixty coins to use as they see fit. You'll notice the vending machines on both warehouse floors. Anyone who isn't caught will even get a memory back." But what does that mean? "So go on, survive for 23 hours, I'll even give you a five minute head start. Good luck!" And with that he scurries off. Should people hang around they'll get to witness that same door open five minutes later. From the door comes several figures, human in shape but something is very, very wrong. They seem to be robotic, skeletal humans. At one point they must have had some synthetic skin over them but most of it seems to be melting or ripped off. They don't move very fast, mostly they shamble about until they focus on a target. Better hope it's not you! |

...It might be hard to delete him if none of us do, though. How do you delete a program that doesn't want to be deleted?
no subject
What do you think of Calhoun, Sasuke? I suppose that's a bit of a vague question, but I've never heard your thoughts on the matter.

...I think if he really is an AI, it's going to be a lot more difficult to do anything about Zero. Calhoun by himself could probably run the whole operation if that's the case.
[He may have even been programmed to run all of this solo. After all, how many times had they ever actually seen Zero?]
no subject
For all we know Zero could be offsite, the more I think about it the more I think his appearance in the elevator was just a video, he didn't seem very responsive otherwise.
no subject
[Stiff or atrophied muscles, that sort of thing. But if Calhoun was running the show, the true mastermind was free to drag people in from the outside.]
no subject
Then again, look at the technology here. I suppose we can't really assume anything.
no subject
[He feels like he heard that was a thing. And if that were the case, it would practically be as if they had died...]
no subject
[He shook his head.] I suppose if we do escape we'll be able to find out from the facility itself. Zero must have records somewhere.
no subject
[Because that could also actually be kind of creepy considering the guy apparently has all of their memories at his fingertips.]
