A small (And very beat-up) playback device sits in an abandoned research facility in the Canadian Wilderness. Its pretty 'clean' in the sense that it is difficult to tell who the former users were. It was, however, apparently cleaned with fire. A lot of rubble and debris about. A careful search (Or dumb luck) would find the device under a table If one finds it, and presses play the following is what they hear:
*Static for several seconds along with garbled voices. The tape is clearly damaged. It seems, however, to come closer to clarity. Often times, words are skipped and garbled.*
The sound of three, maybe four metal pieces scraping on concrete followed by a soft tapping on a microphone. Then, words, a smooth baritone coming out of the device:
"My name *Static*...leigh Graves. Major Ashleigh Graves. UNTIL. Serial number: 823576."
There is the telltale click of a lighter. The recorded man inhaling. Exhaling.
"...And I am a member of The Odysseus Project. Or, rather, I am the result of the /original/ Odysseus Project...."
*More Static follows for several seconds*
Another voice calls out. Its higher-pitched. Somewhere 'behind' the microphone. It is difficult to determine gender from the voice alone.
"So. Major Graves. How are you feeling since the procedure? You've been 'independent' for a few months now. How are you acclimating to the enhancements? Any side-effects?"
A chuckle, dusky, dark. Right in front of the microphone. Easily heard. "Well. I have more energy since the treatment. Greater strength *STATIC*. side-effects...."
A shuffling of papers, the tiny clickclickclicking of pen against paper and clipboard. "Right, Major Graves. Has there been swelling anywhere else?"
What follows next is approximately thirty minutes of question and answer. All between Major Graves and some scientist. UNTIL comes up many times, as does 'The Odysseus Project'. With the damage to the recording unit, its difficult to tell just who is questioning the Major Or, the true nature of 'The Odysseus Project'. Near minute thirty-two, however, the Static (And monotonous questioning) breaks.
The stuttering of metal on concrete again. A chair, being backed away from the recording device. And Major Graves' voice.
"Anyways. That's my story. An interesting one, if I do say so myself, Serpent... Mina..." A name, for the mysterious voice behind the microphone. "Mina. I'm sorry. You know what I have to do now."
A quiet laugh- it grows louder, clearly female. "How do you expect to escape, Ashleigh?" The woman almost spits out the name, as if it were vile. A curse. "I made sure my people took your weapons."
"You did." Major Graves replied quietly. "But..." There is a sound that seems to swell into a massive block of interference on the playback followed by the clear sounds of a struggle, shouting. Gun shots follow. Then, silence.
((Well. Its not much, but its an attempt to get some RP! I'm pretty new to the game, looking for a super-group/RP group and just doing an intro. If you're interested in exploring this hook, feel free to mail or tell Major Graves@surasanji for more information. Or, Private message me here, I guess! Anywho, hope to see you soon!))
