Mission: Bad Science Saves the Day

Date & Time: Mid-Day, 3310 | Present Day June 14th-16th
Location: Andersfeld, in the (far former) state of Alaska. (Also known at one time as Anchorage, Alaska.) | Back in Exsilium, those manning the Transport Pads, or working on developing the antibiotics and administering them to the ill throughout the city. Yet others will need to hop-scotch through time gathering sufficient supplies to save lives.
Characters: Volunteers to alter medical research, people working on antiobiotic cures, people distributing appropriate cures, and those who are doing minor missions into the past to retrieve adequate supplies to treat the sick in the present.
Summary: Transports are asked to help save tens of thousands of lives, first by traveling two years into the past and altering scientific research. Second, by helping with the manufacture and development of antibiotics or other cures, once the mission is complete. Third, by distributing the cure to the affected parties. Fourth, by going on pointed supply missions solo, or with up to two other people, in order to get enough supplies to save people in the present.

Whatever your character decides to do, the weight of saving lives is on their shoulders, unasked, and perhaps unwelcome. What will they do when faced with this decision?

Warnings: Illness. Freezing cold. Possible death. Drunken scientists.

In Andersfeld, the snow falls in thick, fat flakes, winds blowing in gusts up to 60 kph. Everyone is bundled up against the weather. Spirits are generally low, if not outright alcoholic. Safety lines and lights guide those brave enough to venture outdoors from building to building.

For the Transports with a six hour window to alter a future that will kill over a hundred thousand people in three weeks, it's a dangerous and necessary bravery.

In Exsilium, the success of the mission to Andersfeld is felt as soon as scientists notice the virus responding to antibiotic treatments. It becomes a race to finding the most effective means of combating the now bacterial infection, and of mass producing any working cure for distribution.

Some help with the production.

Others hurry to cart the supply out to the places hit most heavily. Yet others work directly with administering the antibiotics, in most cases, via an IV line. Those less heavily affected will be granted ridiculously large antibiotic pills, needing to be coaxed down spasming throats.

Those who need action, or who are no good with the sick, are asked to make countless small trips through time to secure the supplies needed to produce enough of the cure to save the tens of thousands who are ill but not yet deceased.

And for those too ill to assist, now is the time to rest, heal, and get better. In a world like this, one never knows what surprise might next lie in wait. The Transports and the Initiative have thwarted total disaster for now.

Mostly.

Oh, I had just gotten a new one before I came here! One of the models that takes photos. Very convenient.

[Elmer turns to her with a big grin and a quick thumbs up.] You just about had it! I have the software running now, so all you can do is wait till it's done.

A modal that takes photos? [Oh, she definitely knows this one!] Do you mean one of those new smartphones? Ummm....I think one of the most popular models is known as a blackberry. [A uncertain expression will appear before she begins to chuckle a bit again.] O-Or something around those lines... [For a teenager, she was not the type to keep up with her own technological times.]

Really? It'll be done downloading soon? [A very relieved expression will appear.] Ah! Thank goodness! For a minute there, I was almost worried I was going to somehow screw this up! Just because I come from a later time than most people, it doesn't mean I know anything about technology. [She really didn't. Not one bit.] Uhh, a-anyway, thank you so much for helping me. You really did save me!

[Elmer gives her a salute.] Not a problem! What year were you from, anyway? It was 2002 for me.

[personal profile] isnotalone 2013-06-28 04:38 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, I'm from the year 2012. [And with a more genuine and friendly smile of her own.] It looks like I'm ten years ahead of you, both time and technology-wise.

[She can't help continue to smile happily for a bit because it was all she can do to keep herself from trying to remember the year 2002 of her time.]

Anyway! What are your thoughts over the technology of Exsilium? They have some really cool stuff! It's only a shame that the government situation is the way that it is.... [Her expression weakens a bit.] ...who could have guessed the future would look like that?
keep_smiling: (relaxed)

[personal profile] keep_smiling 2013-07-01 01:59 am (UTC)(link)
Oh I agree, it is amazing! Time travel, resurrection... things you'd only see in sci-fi movies! I think it's really great. It's a shame that the world the way it is, so that people can't enjoy it more. Use the technology for peace and smiles!

Wait! You could be resurrected here? Really?

[That little comment over resurrection has caught her attention rather quickly because she had no idea.]

How long does it usually takes for it to happen? Have you....? [She won't finish her sentence due to the nature of the question, so she can't help wonder.]

[Now, as for the, peace and smiles comment, Nanami will begin to smile again.]

If only it was as simple as that. I might not know much over this world's history, but I do know there has always been those that have tried to do what this government has done. Taking over the world, and all that other stuff you only find in conspiracy theories. I guess, no matter how further in technology a society is, there will always be those rotten apples added into the bunch too. I wonder if we could find a way to get everyone to only think of peace and smiles. The world would be much better that way, I think.

[In other words, she wants the world to forever have romance, smiles, and happiness, but even she knows it isn't possible. Siiiigh.]

It sounds like a great dream though, right?
keep_smiling: (i wonder if demons can smile too)

[personal profile] keep_smiling 2013-07-01 04:24 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, you didn't know? You sure can be! And no, I haven't had any need for them to do it to me yet. I doubt I ever will. So I don't know how long it takes or anything like that.

[He really likes the way you think.] It is! There's nothing we saying we can't keep dreaming like that. Governments have been and always will be doing a lot of things. As long as there's people, there will always be war. But I'd like to think that we can cut it down as much as possible, so long as I can get as many people to smile as I can. I'm pretty sure you agree with me, so you should smile and help others too!

I see. [Her smile will return at having heard that.] But thank goodness though! I was almost afraid that you had, you know, for a moment there. Hopefully that time really will never come, just like you said!

[Right back at you, mister. She likes the way you think as well. His words really does remind her of that voice that has always told her that: "Someday, once you have gone through all the pain, there will be a time where you will always smile" She likes to think that time came around once she moved into the shrine.]

Spreading the word sounds like a good idea! Maybe we should someday create a "smile for world peace" brigade! We just need to find enough people who will be happy to help boost morale. Somehow! [Hopefully she hasn't said anything dumb because it did sound odd coming from her. Oops?]
keep_smiling: (reddish)

that was supposed to say "a lot of bad things" up there. whoops

[personal profile] keep_smiling 2013-07-03 03:29 am (UTC)(link)
That sounds perfect! I've already declared myself Morale Officer, and getting others to join will only make it better!
isnotalone: <user name="raelin"> (❀ Amusement ┆ Laug hter)

fffff. okay. let's pretend that is what he said then. xD

[personal profile] isnotalone 2013-07-09 01:40 am (UTC)(link)
Oh! If you're going to be Morale Officer, then I can be the... [Give her time to think about it.] Recruiter of Smiles and Morale! My job will be to find other members to join and help boost everyone's spirits alongside you.

[Then with a light laugh.]

Will that be okay?
keep_smiling: (yes!)

[personal profile] keep_smiling 2013-07-09 08:15 pm (UTC)(link)
[Elmer suddenly stands stock straight and gives Nanami a salute.] Perfectly alright! Welcome aboard, and may your recruitments be successful!
