We now have all 6 players. However, death is probable, so you can still submit a sheet to be pulled in if someone does pass.
Welcome to Beta-Lab C7XX!
We couldn't do it without you!

"If your best is all you've got, you'll do just fine here!"
- Founder Of Beta-Lab Benny Shultz

[!------------------------------|Remember|------------------------------!]
The year is 2027. Technology is at it's peak, and you're very thankful for everything Beta-Lab had done for you. America, on the verge of another world war, invested in a new type of research lab to help against the possible battles and upcoming hardships. Thankfully, no war ever happened, and Beta-Lab pursued engineering, and making lives of many easier, and comfortable. Beta-Lab was located thousands of miles underground in the Arizona desert. The goal of Beta-Lab was to create, test, and perfect technology for the betterment of US citizens. Flying cars, cybernetics, and genetic modification were only some of the amazing accomplishments.
Working at Beta-Lab was considered as an honor, and highly esteemed. Families often pushed it on their kids, or the ads on TV did it for them. Being a worker there was like being a super hero. Benny Shultz, the CEO and founder of Beta-Lab, often toured around the country giving speeches and presentations on all of the things you got to do while working at the facility. If it wasn't him doing the advertising, magazine articles, and websites dedicated to the lab were always accesible to curious youth and wise adults.
Of course you couldn't just sign up. The goverment accepts applications once every year, and they sort through for the best of the best. It is commonly assumed that only braniacs can get in, or people with a PhD and an Ivy League degree. But no one really knows why Beta-Lab chooses who they choose.
You entered your application in on August 19th, and sure enough, you got a letter seven days after:
!....CONGRATULATIONS....!
Thank you for you application, valued American!
We thank you for your application, and we're happy to tell you that you have been accepted into the Beta-Lab family!
We understand this must be an exciting, however due to a new policy, we ask that you keep this a surprise to your immediate family/relatives/friends until you arrive at Beta-Lab. As soon as you check in, your family will be notified about your amazing achievement!
In this letter you will find a plane ticket to Arizona. You will be picked up from the Beta-Lab Check-In zone at [..........]. You will be picked up by a bus at 6:30 sharp. Do not be late, or else you will be unable to join the Beta-Lab team.
While you wait, please take time to memorize the official Beta-Lab anthem:

~Oh Beta-Lab, Oh Beta-Lab. Thanks for blessing me! With this proud duty, and the work I must complete. Oh Beta-Lab, Oh Beta-Lab. Thanks for saving me! I promise to make everyone proud at home, you'll see.~
You packed into the facility along with many other happy employees, and began your work. On the surface, you were always advertised the benefits of the lab, and all the harmless work they did. Upon moving in, you saw a lot of things you were not prepared for. Animal testing, nuclear warhead engineering, and other unorthodox experiments. Some of you saw past this, and continued to work your heart and soul out for the lab for the better of America. Others pretended to, waiting for the day to escape.
One night while in your chambers, you heard a rumble. The lights flickered, and the communications went down. Something wasn't right. What happened next changed your life, and everyone's life in Beta-Lab forever.

GM's note on posting, combat, and more!:
Well, you're probably wondering what the hell this is. This is an RP that I did a while back on a different forum, and I've always wanted to do a reboot and now I feel like it's a good time to do that.
I will be GMing this adventure, so I will not be playing in characters in it.
My job, as I'm sure you know, is to take your posts and do certain things with them. Like give you the result of an action. There will be dice elements, so this won't be entirely RP. For example:
Your Post:
Jake looked vigorously through the desks. (Of course more detail, description, etc. This is an example.)
My Post In Reply:
After searching through the desks, Jake found a lighter, a pill pen, and some documents!
Simple enough, right? Here's an example of the combat. You will basically do the same thing as above. Example:
Your Post:
Jake ran up to the mutated rabbit, and punted it!
(Everything is in third person, which will always imply that you've landed a hit or an attack, but that might not always be true. So be aware of that!)

[Jake][8] VS [9][Mutated Rabbit] - [Jake ran up to the rabbit, and prepared a furious kick when the rabbit hopped out of the way, and countered with a vicous bite! It's latched onto his leg!]Here's a run down. When you initiated a fight with someone, or they initiate a fight with you, we hop into a VS mode. In this VS mode, I roll for 'probability' to see if your attack goes through, or if they manage to avade/block/etc. The probability roll is from 1-12. These numbers can be boosted in your favor depending on factors in battle, and your gear.
Let's say you have a lead pipe, or some sort of weapon, well if you use it in combat, the probability that you'll hurt goes up some, either a +2 or a +3 depending on weapon. Same goes for armor, and other various things.
Feel free to get creative with things. I encourage it, really, and I'll rarely ever penalize you for thinking outside of the box. Rip out some wires from the wall, electrocute your foes! Push carts into scary monsters, pin them against a wall, then let your friends have at it! Crafting is also acceptable. Have fun.
