Will taking these additional tests affect what class I end up? Alan sent.
Yes, these tests allow us to grant you a class more suitable to you, the Administrator responded.
What are the chances that I actually die? And this is real, actual death, right?
Yes, death as in a true end. The chance is less than one in a trillion.
Alright, let’s do this, then.
Very well.
Alan lost consciousness…

An onslaught of images flashed through Alan’s mind. His childhood home. A cage. A cave. Darkness. Water. Drowning. A coliseum. A lion. Pain. Death. Fire. An empty room. Then nothing. Then a feeling of falling… falling…
*BAM*
Alan jerked upwards, head banging against a metal surface, his heart pounding. Disoriented, Alan looked about, trying to get a grasp of where he was. He was... in a capsule. The capsule on board the Titan, from the look of things. Alan stepped out of the silvery liquid that wasn’t really a liquid, looking about. The other capsules were unoccupied, he was the last one out. Alan glanced at the time and date, then, blinking, looked again. It appeared an entire week of in-game time had passed since he began the Tutorial… what had happened?
I am unsure, Eve answered. It seems as your memories of the tests have been erased, as have my own memories.
Wait, you were tested as well?
Yes, but how was purged from my memory banks.
Checking himself, Alan noticed he had the same items and gear as when he had finished the Survival Test, the Revenant Power Armor and Modified Laser Knife being the only items of interest. He still had 26230 credits.
Huh… Alan mused. Wait, bring up the message log.
Very well, though many messages have been deleted as well.
| Unfortunately, due to the nature of your death, you have been reverted to the state before the Ethics Test begun. All acquired experience, skills, attributes and memories have been lost. 10 Gold Marks awarded based upon the results of your tests. |
These gold cubes appeared in his hand, apparently a lesser version of the platinum mark, worth only 1,000 credits or a single ability point.
| Congratulations! You have completed the Tutorial tests!
Recommended classes: Machine Lord and Rogue. You may now gain specialized abilities and augments for this specific class. If you want to decline this chosen class and forge your own path, please contact an Administrator.
Specialized skills: A.I. Interaction, Stealth and Sniping |
| +1500 ability points, +1 Class Mark and +250,000 Credits only to be spent on Machine Lord and Rogue augments/skills |
The class mark was a glowing crystal cube, similar to the mark but slightly larger. More windows popped up, detailing information about the classes:
| Machine Lord: These enigmatic beings utilize the power of synthetic life and minds to bend the universe to their will. Not much is known about the details of this scientific, technological brotherhood.
Mentor: Chief Administrator 170 (Please contact him at your convenience) |
| Rogue: Skilled and cunning individuals, rogues often lurk in the shadows, awaiting the opportune moment to strike. They may just as easily be the center of attention, charming and deceiving those around them. Answering to no one but themselves, rogues often follow the highest bidder. They usually rob them too.
May develop into: Assassin, Master Thief, Covert Agent, Scoundrel or Other
Mentor: Unknown (Clue: They’re closer than you think) |
