[At first, all is still; all is silent.]

[The only light is the light from your phone, where a checklist has taken over the screen. It reads:]

___ Make a change
___ Repair something
___ Protect something
___ Find the True Heart
___ Survive

[Then the light comes up, bright, and then brighter, and you are in…]

[The hologram display hovering in the air nearby shows a turnaround of the schematics, underneath a header that reads CODENAME: LEADER.]

[The suit next to it is somehow VERY appealing.]

[It's person-sized, sturdy and slim, painted in gleaming shades of white and purple. When the light catches the lines of it, it shimmers like an expensive sports car. The pocket knife that rests on the workbench beside it has a laser-based blade instead of a steel one; the tiny blade glows a muted purple to match the armor. It is a pocket knife, so there is also a laser corkscrew, a laser screwdriver, and a laser toothpick. Maybe don't use that last one.]

[eyes LIGHT UP at that, though no promises about toothpick shenanigans.

Waves his hand to get the lab folks attention, calling out]

Heeeey! I volunteer to test run this one!

[A balding man in glasses heads over.]

I should hope so. It's yours.

Re: The Hangar

[neigh_sayer]

Just for me? Awwww, you shouldn't have!


Okay but how do I put it on.

Re: The Hangar

[offontherightfoot]

You just step in. The suit will do the rest.

Re: The Hangar

[neigh_sayer]

Ominous, but appropriately sci-fi. Okay, let's do this.

[stepping into the dock or whatnot?? sci-fi is not C's genre, so he looks skeptical but ready for whatever]

Re: The Hangar

[offontherightfoot]

[The suit accordions up to cover him, the fit snug but comfortable. A HUD overlay appears over the world, with helpful stats like HP. You know that if it's too distracting, though, you can retract your face plate and leave your face uncovered.]

[While wearing the suit, +2 to any ally combat roll per turn OR -2 to the attack roll of all enemies in the location per turn. +2 to Def, +2 Damage. You now have the ability to fly and have access to comms. You can contact any other player wearing a suit from any location in the heart.]

[wooooah

Ok he doesn't get sci fi but he hella gets video game logic so this is just delightful for him]

Wooow, so cool! It really was made for me! Hey, doc, looks like the instructions are all in the manual, but any secret tricks we should know about?

Re: The Hangar

[offontherightfoot]

You should be good to go.

...but maybe don't use the toothpick.

Re: The Hangar

[neigh_sayer]

Ahahaha!

[HE'S SUPER GONNA USE THE TOOTHPICK]

Thanks a lot.

[he's gonna rejoin Mori, but checking any other screens for intel he might have missed first]

Re: The Hangar

[offontherightfoot]

[The holo-screens all seem to have suit names and stats on them]

Re: The Hangar

[neigh_sayer]

[roger that]

Okay, looks like we can get a move on then.

Re: The Hangar

[offontherightfoot]

[where to?]

Re: The Hangar

[neigh_sayer]

[LETS GO BACK TO HALL AND TO THE ROOM TO THE WEST

UNLESS THAT'S JUST A STARTING POINT]

[Out you go, into the city]
