The Experiment (IC)

[North Timeria]

On board the V-10 Raiju all of the participants were seated with helmets on their heads. This would protect them and blind them to their surroundings, the only thing they could see was darkness. Inside the cargo bay with them was The Adviser he would help them through the initial process. "Welcome participants! We are currently hovering over your camp. You have already made it through the easy part... Now it's time to put in work." The camera crew inside zoomed in on each participant. "I will be your Adviser... There isn't much to say now, except good luck. After you all recover come to the Dome. It will be in the center and the only building with a fire burning."

After finishing that sentence the participants were released and dropped from the hovercraft at just the right height. Just enough to knock the wind out of them and leave them gasping for air. The helmet would protect their heads.

---

Inside the Control Center things were just heating up. The camp was already constructed but left room for upgrades. At camp their was shelter, crops, livestock, and other tools to help them get started. Right next to their camp was fresh water that flowed down from the mountain. They wouldn't make it that easy; they had populated that area with a small amount of demon fish. They could sense disruptions in the water and as soon as one of the participants disrupted it they would come hunting. Their sharp teeth could puncture flesh and leave nasty bites. If a participants was bit by one of the computer generated fish they would experience a pain that let them know they had been bit but not enough to leave them in agony. As soon as the participant received medical treatment the pain would slowly subside. With these dangers was a reward, if the participants managed to catch them they would have a steady supply of water and a very good meal. Or they could find another way of dealing with it; from here on out everything was up to them.

[Kingdom of Derita]

Ki relaxed her body as she fell. She remembered that from her governess in Algiers. That if you ever can't control your body in a situation where your falling, try it relax as much as possible. She hit the ground and rolled. She coughed a bit as she did so, which she cursed herself for doing so, it made her feel weak. She blinked a few times as she pushed herself up onto her knees, then gaining her balance and she stood up to her full height. She pulled the helmet off and filled her hair back. It was in a ponytail, but the helmet had disrupted it. She gave a cruel smile as she looked over her surrounding and waited for the others to get to their feet.

[North Timeria]

Roy hit the ground hard as it knocked the wind out of his lungs. He laid on the ground gasping for air, trying to control his breathing. As soon as it was under control he took ff his helmet and laid there looking up at the sky. He then noticed someone else was up and he jumped to his feat. He recognized her and soon remembered her name was Ki. He stared at her for a moment looking at the scare on her face and how pretty she was. He began to question if she would be a reliable participant. He quickly snapped out of his blank stare and looked at the others on the ground. Lina his fellow citizen was on her knees pulling herself together. "Lets help these guys out so that we can get to the dome... I see it over there." he said to Ki. They had landed in an empty field next to the crops.

[The Ochethi Sakowin]

Lone Bear had not love riding on the Wasichu hover beast. He especially didn't like the helmet that covered his vision. But he mental prepared himself for this journey. This was a chance to prove himself not only to his people, but to many Wasichu. And for that glory he was will to endure some. As the hovercraft began to drop him, Lone Bear cried out "Hoka-Hay. Today is good day to die." With that he fell to the earth. He hit the ground with a thud and he almost cheer. This reminded him as a boy riding the horse blindfolded and falling from them. He removed his helmet and look around. He saw a Roy and Ki and notice they were all in a field of corn and other crops. He called out to them and move towards them.

They had landed in an empty field next to the crops.

Ki looked at the guy from North Timeria, Roy she believed. A bit away the other Deritain participant, Francois-Marie was getting to his feet. He had not landed very gracefully and was trying to figure out his surroundings. He yanked the helmet off and held it as his side as he walked over. Ki looked at Roy. She smiled brightly, her stagnant face from earlier gone like a sand dune in the wind. Now she looked like a complete cheerleader.

"Ok! Sure!"

Ki looked for the dome, following Roy's gaze.

"Wonderful!"

Francois-Marie walked over, still a little out of his comfort zone from the brief fall. He glanced at Ki, noting her pretty face, the scar on her cheek and her long black ponytail. He looked at Roy as well, noting his dark skin, short hair and eyes.

Ki turned to see Lone Bear, who she had mentally nicknamed L.B. Calling to him. He was a hard person to forget and she flashed a pretty smile at him. They need to get everyone together to work as a team.

Ki turned to see Lone Bear, who she had mentally nicknamed L.B. Calling to him. He was a hard person to forget and she flashed a pretty smile at him. They need to get everyone together to work as a team.

Lone Bear liked Ki. She had the bearing of a warrior. She also was unafraid to wear her scars. She also was something unique to Lone Bear. Women in Lakota society where not warriors by choice. While anyone in Lakota society could learn weapons. It was not custom for women to become warriors. He look forward to learning more from Ki. It did not complete escape him that she was also a beautiful woman. But she from another world and may not find Lakota men attractive. He would explore that issue later. Right now they needed to make it to camp and survive. Lone Bear answer back. "Ki are you alright? Need find shetter." Lone Bear spoke in his best accented partially broken English. The English language was known, but not preferred in his lands. Lone Bear knew many of the group understood his words even though he was sure he spoke them bad. He hoped that Ki would not think less of him for his poor words. Moving to Ki side he help her get some their less fortunate friends up and about.

Ki smiled. He seemed nice enough, which would be good for later working together. It would be hard to work with someone in a team if they were harsh and mean. Ki turned back to the Dome, which of course was their goal. Always begin with the goal in mind. While it was good to be friendly, they also had a mission to complete.

"I am fine, thank you. But first we need to get everyone to get ready and get to the Dome. That is our mission, first and foremost."

Francois-Marie raised an eyebrow. He spoke to Ki, his accent clearly and thickly French while Ki's was mixed with French-British, with a undertone of sarcasm.

"Well aye, aye, captain."

[Royal Genes]

Claude de Argé stood up, his breath short after he had landed on his back from the fall. Seriously,did they give no warning? He got that it was survival, but that didn't mean that the parts before the test began had to be so unorthodox. He winced as he sat up and pulled the helmet off. He blinked several times to adjust to the light from the darkness. He stood up and saw Bernadette, the girl from Genes and from the same school as him.

He helped her up, her helmet was already off, as she had throw it off her head and it had landed a yard or so away. Claude helped her up to her feet and was shocked to see how talk she was, at least 6 feet high. Perhaps even more. He wrinkled his noise at the idea of a girl being taller than him, if only by 4 inches. Bernadette gave a crude thanks and a nod and walked over to the other teenagers. Claude followed.

Lone Bear nodded at Ki's words. He turn around and began to help people. He removed stuck helmets and help other contestants up from the ground. He was worried that he had no knife or hatchet to help, but he would make one later when they were more established.

As he was helping people, Lone Bear spotted the two teenagers from Royal Genes. He called out to them and beckon them to join the group. When they got there, He greet them in Tradtional Lakota way. "Haw Kola" to Claude and then "Haw Mushkay" to Bernadette.

[Les Etats Connuriste]

Michael swore loudly as he hit the ground with a thud, but he got up near instantly and brushed himself down. It was not a cry of pain after all, but more of frustration. Deciding to try and focus on the task at hand - the Dome - he hoped that camp would have some sort of alcohol, although he felt like they probably wouldn't. He was of age in his home country, but most nations weren't so lax and liberal when it came to the matter.

Clara, on the other hand, successfully resisted the urge to swear when she landed. It was not exactly ladylike, and whilst that didn't bother her one bit whatsoever from a personal standpoint, she cared about what others may think. Her fellow participants were from all over the place - and she knew that Derita for one was a place of moral codes. If Clara had any game plan, it was to try and get on with everybody, and everyone was a potential friend and ally, and people ll over the planet would be watching. She was a McManaman. She was royalty. And she believed that she should at least look as good as she could for the cameras. Beginning to get up, she accepted the outstretched hand of who she only knew as Michael, her fellow Connurist national, who helped her get to her feet as she uttered a polite thanks and ignored the slight pain in her shoulder that was a result of the fall, looking and observing everyone else.

[Terranubis]

Can I join?

[Reutoa]

Viscount Raphael Kesselman And Joel Von Fisch stood up, that fall had knocked out the wind of the,, they saw the Deritans and gentians and walked over and said "Alliance, seeing how our nations are friends?"

[Royal Genes]

Claude blinked at Raphael and Joel a bit confused, but Bernadette shook their hands in a sign of friendship. The tall girl smiled, though it was a very business like smile, not exactly someone genuinely happy.

[The Ochethi Sakowin]

Claude blinked at Raphael and Joel a bit confused, but Bernadette shook their hands in a sign of friendship. The tall girl smiled, though it was a very business like smile, not exactly someone genuinely happy.

Lone Bear shook the tall woman's hand. He knew it was Wasichiu way of greeting. Lone Bear was also notice while she smile, it was the style of Wasichiu trading people and not one of happiness. Lone Bear noted that and gesture the tall woman and her companion to join the group.

Viscount Raphael Kesselman And Joel Von Fisch stood up, that fall had knocked out the wind of the,, they saw the Deritans and gentians and walked over and said "Alliance, seeing how our nations are friends?"

Lone Bear heard the word Alliance. He had just learn the meaning of that word. It was like his own people a gathering of tribes under one common goal. This sparked his curiousity. As look at them and spoke. "Your tribe friends with tribe of KI?"

[North Timeria]

Roy helped up Lina as the other socialized. He had over heard Viscount ask Ki to form an alliance. He shook his head ashamed. "We're all Ally's here. I suggest you get your shit together and help someone out. I think we've already waisted enough time."

Lina stood tall although she wasn't very tall compared to Roy. She was a little disappointed as she could already sense a division growing.

[Republic of Interstellar Colonies]

Mark Akron jumped from the hovercraft, remembering his military training as a paratrooper in the Army, he braced his legs and landed with a thud.

"Ow..."

He rubbed his leg. Gonna bruise he thought. He looked at his surroundings and saw the others heading toward the Dome that the Advisor had talked about. He was about to follow them, then stopped. How can I trust these people? They could be murders or something of that kind... he thought. Coming to a quick decision, he turned around and ran into the woods. Thanks to his military survival training, he knew how to navigate through the dense woods. After a few hours of running, he began hiding his tracks, setting up false trails, and doing other kinds of survival deception. After another hour, after he was sure he hid his tracks well, he observed the area he was in.

It was heavily forested and had plenty of sunshine. A few bushes with berries and other types of food surrounded him. Above, birds tweeted to one another. Mark identified one bird as a dove. That was good. Once he made some tools, he could go hunting for these birds.

Speaking of tools...

He broke a branch off a tree and found a rock. He sharpened the branch into a makeshift spear.

[Kingdom of Derita]

Roy helped up Lina as the other socialized. He had over heard Viscount ask Ki to form an alliance. He shook his head ashamed. "We're all Ally's here. I suggest you get your shit together and help someone out. I think we've already waisted enough time."

Lina stood tall although she wasn't very tall compared to Roy. She was a little disappointed as she could already sense a division growing.

Ki looked to Roy, she tried to keep a friendly smile, though she silent cursed the fact that the Viscount had said such a thing, an alliance sub to that of the team. She looked between Roy and Raphael.

"Come on guys, we can all be friends here. No need for such meanness. We can do this... As a team."

[Unified Sera Government]

Toketu used every method at his disposal in order to keep himself calm and avoid the panic that usually coincided with sensory deprivation. He was here to make Sera and High Chancellor Teton Vos proud, to show the foreigners the true strength that came with the privilege of being a Serian. Toketu had just counted 'Du' (7 in Serian) when the very ground beneath him gave way. It happened so quickly that he didn't even have time to yell in surprise. Instead, he soon hits the ground on his side with a thud. "Ta-Ta'ra!" He exclaims from beneath the Timerian helmet. He stumbles onto his feet blindly, while his hands busied themselves with the removal of his helmet. "Ka-soon ra'nok tee'lo Aeron! Slo'vek na-till u'dara-hje!" He cursed loudly after recovering fully, and after, Toketu throws down his helmet and allowed his eyes to take in the environment around him. The scenery does well with soothing his anger and he finds himself at peace in the natural surroundings.

His eyes soon came upon the other teens who'd be participating. Toketu raised his hand in greeting, and spoke. "To'luk Vas Reen, na slo Toketu Vos su Syra." Toketu pauses for a moment, then starts again, a little flustered. "My apologies, I... Forget not everyone speaks Syra'yte. Oh, Serian, yes? I said my name is Toketu Vos of Sera, and asked for the Sky to Watch You. A greeting commonly heard in my homeland. It is to my Pok, understanding, that you all will be my Fuhilpiin, Team." Toketu then extends his hand out to the nearest person, a smile coming over his features.

Viscount Raphael Kesselman and Joel Von Fisch looked in disbelief at the Timerians, Joel said "Erm...ok then, let's all make one big alliance then..." The Viscount looked over at the Timerian and said "Ok then" you could tell that the Reutoans were a bit mad for what those Timerians had said..

[The Royally United Provinces]

Jason Brasier, 6 foot 4 and "tougher than steel" his classmates called him. Words he lived by. As he fell he took a deep breath and continued his breathing. As he hit the ground he gasped for air and lay down to recover for a second. He stood back up. He had landed a little ways from the other contestants. "Fashionably late again." He muttered as he walked over. He noticed people gravitating toward different groups. Monarchist nations and their counterparts. He cleared his throat and spoke up. "Hello everyone! I'm Jason. Are we ready to start living on this lonely "island"?" At this point he didn't care how many saw what he was doing." He ended up with a small headache from the fall but it'd be nothing soon. He looked around at the other contestants and then ran his fingers through his hair which was spiked up at the front. "Let's at least start strong." He muttered to himself.

Ki smiled. Everyone expect Raphael and Joel and Roy seem to be getting along. That was good. Division so early in this would very be bad. Jason seem to be a bit into looking into the people there, which Ki did not like. She spoke happily and peppy.

"Wonderful! Let's get ready to to get to the dome, like Roy said earlier, we are in this as a team. That's the only way we can complete this mission. Okay?"

Ki looked to Roy, she tried to keep a friendly smile, though she silent cursed the fact that the Viscount had said such a thing, an alliance sub to that of the team. She looked between Roy and Raphael.

Lone bear nodded at Ki words. "Yes we are all tribe." Lone turn to meet the tall man called Jason. He greeted him. "Haw Kola"

Ki smiled. Everyone expect Raphael and Joel and Roy seem to be getting along. That was good. Division so early in this would very be bad. Jason seem to be a bit into looking into the people there, which Ki did not like. She spoke happily and peppy.

"Wonderful! Let's get ready to to get to the dome, like Roy said earlier, we are in this as a team. That's the only way we can complete this mission. Okay?"

When Lone Bear heard Ki's words, he nodded and follow her.
