Spire The plan had been laid and everything had been building to this. A group of helping hands had come together from different walks of life for this very moment, as if the universe had led them to this. A pillar to hold it here, nanites to destroy any remnants of a lock, an alechemist, and...

Spire Tara remained planted at her post atop the spire, remaining there soundless and still amidst the gnarled tree roots. While they were clearly intent on protecting the crew, they seemed less apt to obtaining sustenance. The thought, let alone the need for nourishment was yet another...

Spire Tara stood still as stone, facing west in their determination without falter. Having not the need for sustenance and rest, the robot seemed to be fixed to the position, not yielding to anything but the idle patrol of their unrestrained head from left to right. Much time passed before...

Starship Graveyard With the immediate medical emergencies tended to, the crew were set to begin their journey to the west, seeking to pick up any remaining survivors along the way. Without much in the way of supplies, they would have to pull through whatever they could find among the...

Enpala 13 Starship Graveyard Tara continued her slide down the side of the decayed structure, letting her feet sink into the rocky soil as she stopped at the bottom followed by three pixy units. Despite being the only member of the crew to posses such advantages as increased perception and...

Cargo Bay Behind the ship, the missile slowed to duck and weave between the incoming debris being chucked out the back of the ISS Downrider. Food, supplies, findings, even OSC-01’s claimed box on the ship, everything chucked downrange was a desperate maneuver to gain space. The joint effort of...

The missile knows where it is at all times. It knows this because it knows where it isn't. By subtracting where it is from where it isn't, or where it isn't from where it is - whichever is greater - it obtains a difference or deviation. The guidance subsystem uses deviations to generate...

Enpala 13 - Atmosphere ISS Downrider Dahlia turned to look at Glas, with a slight smile. The dragon-human… thing was a bit of an inconvenience to accommodate, but was at least carrying their weight in thoughtfulness. “Thanks, though I don’t know how much I’ll be able to eat.” The Captain took a...

episode four

Enpala 13 - Orbit 72 Hours after the events of Adjoin There was little rest for the crew of the ISS Downrider, a recurring predicament as of late for the wayward expedition. With a mission of this nature however, they would have to sleep when they’re dead. Still recovering from their escapade...

Dahlia groaned, overcome with feelings and sensations she could not begin to describe. Weightlessness, lightheadedness, paralysis, fear. The world around her was silent and warm, but filled with a light so overbearing even the hardest she could clench her eyes still left her blinded. The...

Landing Zone "We're leaving, with or without you on board." The Overseer looked upwards at the intercom of the ship as Aradia commented on the strength of their motor skills. "Good! It was never my intention to be found, why else would I have sealed everything away from the inside." Dahlia...

ISS Downrider Glasawyr's search did not turn up too much, though his lack of orientation with the ship didn't help. The ship beyond the cargo bay was relatively cramped, with nearly half the ships interior space dedicated to holding cargo alone. He could find slight evidence of rummaging...

ISS Downrider Cargo Bay The wayward pen thrown by Marie bounced off of the mans chest, quickly revealing them to be physically present. Arvero's brow furrowed as he wiped the loose ink off of their court robes, which were thankfully black themselves. The Arcadian rolled his eyes as Reman...

ISS Downrider Cargo Bay It was amidst Marie's feverous scribbling that her pen tragically gave out, leaking ink across her quickly-soiled notes. A most unfortunate day for human science indeed. Perhaps she could still recall some by the time she found another. Bryce glanced at the mountain of...

Surface Dahlia looked down to Rhea with concern as she checked herself over from Friday's work. The Captain raised an eyebrow, not fully believing the child- though she wsa one full of surprises. The captain briefly took another head count. "That was a call closer than any of us would have...

Trayll II - Surface Immediately following their crushhiing d- Daring escape from the collapsing Kerolyne Defile. The intense white light of the sky began to fade as the sun slowly descended below the horizon of Trayll II. The ground beneath the cooling desert rumbled lightly, shaking the...

THE END OF FRIENDVANGELION

Lower Reactor Control Together the two bouncers lunged towards Glasawyr, aiming to claw into his arms. The dragon was superior in strength, however, grasping the two bots and lifting them off the ground. The dragon slammed the two bots against the ground in a gruesome crunch of metal and oil...

Lower Reactor Control The one-armed Harpi raised their firearm once more, backpedaling away from the fireballs as best they could in the limited space. From behind the firestorm, several more tacks rushed forth an embedded themselves in Glas' face, one right in the eyelid. The fireballs...

Bivona Northern Wastes 5 Hours following the events of Reprise The icy wind of the Northern Wastes howled like a banshee, cutting through the frozen trees as three figures trod slowly through the thick snow- laden with the frustration of defeat. Though the sun had risen to its highest point, it...

Lower Reactor Control Marie's electric cage was surprisingly efficient at incapacitating the Bouncer, leaving it stunned and confused as it tried to move its frozen limbs. The attack was cut as short as the doomed plan when a high-speed projectile whizzed past Marie's helmet, slamming into the...

Lower Path Warehouse The tank buckled as Reman hit it with everything he had. The massive blast of air pressure was enough to knock it cleanly off balance, folding one of its firing guns back into its chassis- shooting a few holes from within itself in the process. The tank fell into a rack of...

YABBA DABBA DOO

Upper Reactor Control Alioth stood against the wall, arms crossed. She didn't seem to care too much for the engineer's panic, especially one causing so much ruckus in the first place. As the blinding flash of the transformation subsided, a second crystal of echyllis had formed over the...

I am glad to see everyone is holding together. I wish you the best of luck on your check-up results, Andrew. It's been a bit wild here, but nothing unmanageable. Mostly just icy weather and a rough semester of online college.

Howdy y'all, welcome to the out of character forum for Arcadia Complex, the plot I run here on Ayenee! Arcadia Complex wiki page. If you all are interested in getting involved, theres a few things you should know about us before looking in. Firstly, we are a semi-open plot-driven post-by-post...

Upper Reactor Control The stranger hung her head over the box of conduit cables, lowering as they quickly realized the magnitude of their mistake here. The person jolted, yanking another cable clean out of its socket as she spoke. "I asked what you're doing here-", the figure braced as they...

Tower of Power As Aradia swept the room with the scanner once more, she found that the unknown... entity had departed the location, with neither the pink or blue scans showing anything telling of its whereabouts. Turning her attention to the hardened case, the scanner brought up semi-clear...

Thank you for everything, Wes! If there's anything I can do to help repay the favor, please do let me know!

Upper Path Control Tower The overlooking ramshackle sentry remained fixed on the two, but made no other movements. After a while, it continued it's quiet scan of the room, checking back on them whenever they came into view. The battery Aradia picked up fit into the device she pocketed earlier...

Upper Path Tunnels I came here shortly after my last sleep, which came after my last feeding, and I am hungry now, which means... Glas actually had to stop and think. He stared into space with a blank expression, and you could almost hear the dialup tone his brain was making as he tried to...

Kerolyne Defile Upper Path Dahlia listened to Keith's scratchy transmission, nodding. "...Right, the dragon is-" The captain braced themselves as the dragon flew past to perch on the other side of the bridge. The bridge shook a little bit, knocking free a few pieces of concrete but remaining...

Upper Path Dahlia was startled by the roar of the dragon, bracing herself against one of the support trusses of the bridge. The captain rushed to the center of the bridge to get a better view of the creature as it landed, slowing briefly as Keith's voice made it through the radio. She brought...

Upper Path - Bridge The Overseer pulled their hand away from the bridge supports, eyeing the metallic dust caught between her fingers passively. The light staff thrown against her rolled off without a passing glance, hitting the ground with a bounce. The hefty lightbulb was, however, fully...

Elevator Shaft The Overseer simply rolled their head towards the pilot, glancing down at the hexagonal device being offered. OSC-01 picked it up, twisting the device around like a card between her fingers with a pious air on being requested. However, the response came a little... slower than...

Kerolyne Defile Elevator Shaft Aradia's rummaging through the various lockers found a few items between them. One locker contained what could be best described as a bundle of mushy bricks, wrapped somewhat tightly in metal foil packages. Faded black letters were etched onto the foil, in a block...

That sounds lovely, Wes! Thank you!

Thank you for reaching out, @Wes! I'm glad people are enjoying it as much as I am. It's been fairly smooth sailing and we're working out a post rhythm, with my only kind of concern being getting new players into the plot. We seem to run on a somewhat different structure than the traditional RP...

??? Dahlia stood there for a moment longer, admiring the expanse ahead of the group before being pulled back to reality by the sounds of chatter and rubber soles sliding against rock. The Captain caught Keith and Reman for a brief moment before they began their descent, issuing a quick order...

Cave Dahlia let her flashlight follow the cable for a moment longer, before stepping back to look at the busted doors themselves. The captain chewed her lip as a crescendo of noises tried to grab her attention. For the longevity of her sanity, she had learned to just tune some things out. It...

Cave The wiring of the turret base ran into the ceiling, though a careful analysis showed that it would have to travel through the bulkhead atop the heavy door frame, given nothing was located above the platform and there was no sign of exterior panels or wires in the vicinity. Whatever could...

Landing Site OSC-01 stood still as a gravestone, casting a gaze over the decrepit model. The silent machine turned to Reman as he spoke, paused. "As unfortunate as their circumstance is, I've found it beneficial to keep oneself detached from those kinds of thoughts," the Overseer remarked...

Trayll II Wayfarer Marie's analysis of the engine found an eventual fault, a hatch laid over the top of the engines main "shaft." Removing it took some work, but revealed a complex labyrinth of pipes, wires, and mechanical housing underneath the protective shield. The design of the engine...

Landing Site Crawling Dahlia stayed relatively close to Rhea, not quite trusting in the apparently radioactive crystal stick that had been formed. Indeed it was a tetanus nightmare in here. As the group carefully tread about the decrepit Wayfarer, the captain lowered a sliding plastic visor...

Landing Site Crawler Exterior OSC-01 stood gazing motionless at the vehicle, prying eyes peeling back every layer of rust and decay to find the core design of the barely-functioning crawler. The blue-tinged sun gleamed brilliantly off the Overseers conversely pristine covering as she twisted...

ISS Downrider Dahlia stood there for a moment, scanning over the desert horizon for anything else of interest. The sun was rising- at least from what she could tell at its incredibly slow pace. A day of opportunity, this was. Her train of thought was interrupted by some of the other crew...

ISS Downrider Cargo Bay OSC-01 rested against the hard metal side of the particular cargo crate aboard the ISS Downrider they called home. Her now active reactor cast a green reflection across the cave as they worked. She gripped the wayward glaive in her hands, inspecting the piece over time...

She weights the same as a duck, so she is made of wood. Therefor, she is a witch.
