Our name is Jimmy Sankis. We proceed to attempt to open the door.

>>8709944
>Jimmy Sankis
It sounds familiar in the empty void that is your mind. You decide to call yourself that and get up from the chair to push on the door. You look for any sort of handle, but do not find anything of the sort.

You walk away from the door to check out the walls around you and the door slides open to reveal a rather short man in a white doctor's coat.

"Well now, good to see you're up. Did you sleep well? How are you feeling?" He has a small clipboard and pen, his small ID tag identifying him as "Dr. Leroy Ishmack." A silly name.

"A little out of it, doc. You know, just waking up and all."

Play along. For now.

Whack the doc! Without mercy!

>>8710033
>"A little out of it, doc. You know, just waking up and all."

"Good, good, remember anything at all?" The Doctor makes a few quick marks on his clipboard and chews slightly on the end of his pen.

>>8710100

"Eh, just how to speak and all the other basic mental stuff. I think."

Don't fill him in that we remembered our name. Just in case.

[X] Become the Terminator

>>8710100

"I remember that I have to kill you."

Then knock him out, take his clothes, clipboard, etc.

>>8710169
YES. THIS.

>>8710087
You quietly stroll closer to the Doctor, looking as if you'd like to see what he's writing. He moves to hug his clipboard closer to his chest, but does not move. His eyes meet yours as you realize you have a slight height advantage on him. And then you pounce.

You swing your right fist into his gut as he wheezes in surprise. He drops his pen and clipboard while bending over, gasping for breath. You bring both your hands clasped together down on the back of his neck and he crumples to the floor, hitting his head hard on the metal base of your chair. A small smear of blood is left on the metal block, nothing more. The door is open and unguarded.

Next move /tg/?

>>8710193
Search his pockets and steal his clothes

I'm hungry. Look for the nearest food source.

>>8710169
>>8710169
>>8710169
DO it nao

>>8710169
I approve.

>>8710175
You quickly strip him and put on his rather small Doctor's jacket and ID. You take the pen and clipboard from where they fell on the floor and pocket the pen. Reading the clipboard, you find a rather small questionnaire and the following:

Subject 014:
-Female
-Age: 26
-Designated Testbed for Drug X19

>>8710237
>>8710175
>>8710186
>>8710169

Try to remember who the target we've been sent back to kill is. Obviously our memory modules have been damaged.

>>8710278
but our CPU is a neuro-net processor...a learning computer.

>>8710223
You peek outside your room to find yourself surrounded by other doors like your own. A metal walkway connects the doors together and you appear to be on the third floor of a six floor... institute? The word eludes you.

Looking to the end of the hall you see an entrance-way labeled Cafeteria. Mmmm... You never realized how hungry you were before. You start moving over the cold metal catwalk towards the Cafeteria, passing by several inset doors similar to your own.

Reaching the double door entrance to the Cafeteria, you peek through to see three people in lab coats eating together at a small table with a janitor sweeping the floor nearby. A small staff on right now.

>>8710238
Is there any of the drug around? If it does cause people to forget, maybe it would work on him. Then cross out the letters "Fe" on the clipboard.

It's so relaxing to be a voice in someone's head, eh /tg/? Calmly walk out of the room and find exit.

>>8710314
>>8710278
>>8710237
>>8710229
>>8710186
>>8710169
You poke your arm and feel only skin yield to your touch. You don't feel like a Terminator, whatever that is. But you did knock someone out pretty awesomely. Maybe you are a fleshly terminator.

>>8710316
Our learning computer wants us to eat to appear normal? Acceptable.

Continue to try and reboot core memory database.

There is no point for us staying in here, /tg/. Let us find an exit!

>>8710347
The metal is buried underneath.

But if we are forgetting our identity, we have a problem.

>>8710316
Head towards the food, while thinking of a story for when someone tries to question me.

"Just pretend I'm not here; the evaluation will be over before you know it" might work.

>>8710347
Dude, if you're not running Terminator Quest, I'm so doing that myself. Give me a week to prep, but I've had a lot of GMing experience, /tg/.

>>8710368
>>8710325
Do you want to enter the Cafeteria and find an exit? Or backtrack? You feel confused.

>>8710383
>>8710372
>>8710357
You take your pen out and begin to scratch at your arm. It hurts at first, but soon you are digging past your weak skin and into the meat of things. You bite down on the clipboard to keep from yelling in pain, but all you've done is dig a small hole in your forearm. Now you've got blood on your nice jacket. That you stole. From the doctor guy.

>>8710444
"Fuck! Patient attacked me with a pen! Security! (get them to restrain doctor guy; might give us enough time to find our target before he wakes up)

>>8710380
You head into the Cafeteria, blood dripping from your arm onto the white tile floor. The Janitor and Doctors look up at you, confused. You move towards an exposed buffet, thinking furiously of a plan. You hear a slight grating noise as one of the Doctors gets up from their seat.

>>8710493
Pretend that I didn't notice the wound, and calmly look around.

>>8710491
>"Fuck! Patient attacked me with a pen! Security! There's a naked man in Subject 014's room! He's dangerous!"

Two of the Doctors dash out the Cafeteria doors towards your room as a shorter female Doctor approaches you. "Are you hurt? Let me see your wound."
The Janitor puts his mop in a bucket and begins to clean your bloodstains off the floor.

Let her see it, play along until someone become suspicious.

>>8710547
Allow her. Pretend to be grateful.

>>8710481
>>8710536
You look calmly around for an exit and notice a Stairwell marked "In Case of Fire" with an Elevator next to it. The Elevator seems to need a keycard to open.

>>8710610
Is there a fire alarm around?

>>8710598
>>8710586
No! She might see the metal beneath.

>>8710610
Thank the doctor for her time and go directly to the stairs leading down and use them.

>>8710586
>>8710598
You stretch out your arm for her to see, and she inspects it gently. "This looks deep." She murmurs as she takes out a cotton ball and alcohol to dab at the wound. It stings, but not much. "Lets take you down to medical to check on it. Haven't seen you around here before though. New?" She leans forward to look at your nametag.

>>8710640
You spy a small plastic covered pull switch labeled "Pull In Case of Fire" next to the Elevator. Sensible location.

>>8710669
You thank the Doctor for her assistance and push away from her, moving towards the stairwell. She pulls back on your jacket with a slight tug. "I'll take you down in the Elevator, its quicker."

>>8710748
Let her call the elevator, then pull the alarm as soon as she steps in. Try to be discreet.

>>8710481
Try and remember that thought you had just a minute ago.

>>8710748
I wouldn't trust her and still use the stairs. Say we prefer to walk just to keep healthy, or something.

Soon as you get her in the elevator, you should use your posotronic pseudo-sound card enhancements.

Effectively "throwing your voice" to her extreme sides, thus confusing her. Also, it's in HD.

>>8710782
You nod as she steps forward to call the elevator. She swipes her keycard and walks through the opening double doors as you lean over and yank the plastic covering off the fire alarm and yank the switch down.

The lights dim slightly in the room as a ringing bell sounds and sprinkler systems activate, spraying water everywhere. The elevator stops with its doors open as the female doctor peeks her head out, confused. "What is going on!?!"

The other two male doctors burst back into the cafeteria through the double doors, yelling that the man was Dr. Leroy. They stare accusingly at you while the janitor continues to mop up the water off the floor, the sprinklers soaking the entire room.

>>8710836
Calmly say it's probably a drill so we should all get outside asap.

>>8710836
Ah, shit.
We should have gotten while the getting is good
RUN!

>>8710861
>>8710820
You remark to the Doctors that its just a drill, and push on the Emergency Stairwell Door to get out of the room. The two doctors at the double doors start moving quickly towards you, yelling that you're an impostor. The female Doctor in the elevator gets out and starts moving away from you. The janitor keeps on mopping.

>>8710912
What have we here is a failure to comunicate

Break a window, throw your voice down it to simulate someone jumping out to their deaths-

Continue walking.

>>8710912
"I don't know what are you talking about and don't care about your distractions. We have a fire drill and we must get outside". Then turn back and start walking down the stairs.

>>8710912
You enter the stairwell to find, well, stairs leading up and down. Which direction to do go?

>>8710965
>"I don't know what are you talking about and don't care about your distractions. We have a fire drill and we must get outside".
You calmly start walking down the stairs as the two male doctors burst through the doorway above you. "Stop! You're wearing his coat! Hold it, 014! You are confused and don't know what is going on!"

>>8710980
Fuck! Stairs will never hold our battle-hardened, reinforced steel frame.

>>8711023
Pause on the second down-stair, wait for them to come over.

>>8711023
Ignore them and get out of sight. Go downstairs. This is the second floor, so we need to go down.

>>8711023
"I am not a number- I am a free woman!
I've been confused for such a long time.
No longer- I'm getting out of here, and I'm finding out who I am!"

>>8711039
>>8711039
>>8711039
>>8711039
DAmmit he's right!

EVASIVE MANEUVERS!

>>8711110
WE'RE NOT A TERMINATOR
WE'RE A GIRL
GET IT THROUGH YOUR THICK SKULLS

>"I am not a number- I am a free woman! I've been confused for such a long time. No longer- I'm getting out of here, and I'm finding out who I am!"
You dash downstairs with the two male Doctors in hot pursuit. "You don't understand! Please stop so we can talk this out, you're acting irrational again!"

>>8711023
Disregard that. Do not blow our cover. Pretend to be a scientist doing the drill and if possible get out of sight as fast as we can.

>>8711135
>>someone who's irrational and brain damaged
>>perfect role for /tg/ to play in a quest

I... I wish I'd seen this sooner...

>>8711110
>>8711124
'Screw this,' you think. 'I'm a friggin' Terminator! I don't need this shit!' You stop at the bottom of one of the stairwell portions and ram your shoulder into the wall. Ouch. That will leave a nice bruise.

>>8711135
"What, what do you mean I don't understand?
I understand that as long as I'm here, I'll never be free, I'll never find out who I am.
I wanted to have controversy, arguments, fights, discussions. I WANT TO LIVE!
I'm not going to spend the rest of my life in cell!"

>>8711135
Continue down the stairs, disregard the screams.

>>8711124
A voice in my head thinks I'm crazy.

>>8711205
To the nearest exit!
Don't stop now- we're so close

>>8711157
Add a "Fuck you" and "asshole" combo to that course of action and we have a rather classy move.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AeV-DI09Q3w

>>8711205
How solidly are they built? Did any water from the sprinklers spill onto the stairs? This might be a good place to make a stand.

>>8711217
>>8711224
>"What, what do you mean I don't understand?
I understand that as long as I'm here, I'll never be free, I'll never find out who I am. I wanted to have controversy, arguments, fights, discussions. I WANT TO LIVE! I'm not going to spend the rest of my life in cell!"

You straighten as the two Doctors rush down the stairs, their rubber soled shoes squeaking on the concrete steps. You turn to face them as they charge headlong towards you. You remain still until they are almost on top of you, and then leap down the next flight of stairs, shoving off one of the Doctors. He tumbles and face plants into the wall you had smashed your shoulder into, and you hear the crunch of bone and cartilage as you fall into a crouch on the landing below. You're getting close to the bottom of the stairwell now according to the floor numbers.

>>8711346
There's normally a map on the wall of the fire exit showing the quickest way out of the building: find it, use it.

>>8711346
Hopefully the exit is nearby
Damn it- I wish we hadn't blown our cover so soon, we could've checked the hospital archives

>>8711391
According to the one in the stairwell next to your face, the shortest way out is down. Odd. Not very safety conscious of the builders.

>>8711413
Hmm, we should slow down
Don't know where this exit leads to

Hack into the global positioning of a nearby airplane- that 'oughta do it.

>>8711404
You spring forward and continue rushing down the stairwell, the rubber soles of your remaining pursuer close behind you. You leap down another flight and land in front of another push exit at the bottom of the stairs. You must have ran down at least five flights of stairs.

Bracing yourself, you push through the door with your unbruised shoulder, stumbling to the floor. You land on your outstretched arms, looking up to see several young adults around your age walking with loaded trays of food. They are dressed in white uniforms with numbers emblazoned on the side.

A rather handsome male sporting a head of black hair looks at you curiously before smiling. "Hey 14, back so soon from testing?"

>>8711478
Exit (n) - A way out.

>>8711524
"What?
I'm not a number- I'm Jimmy!
How are you?"

>>8711524
He frowns and cocks his head at you. "Jimmy? But you're..." The rest of his voice is drowned out by a loud bang behind you as the other Doctor bursts through the doorway behind you. "THERE YOU ARE!"

>>8711524
"Yep. Didn't have much to do." After that mix in the crowd and look for an exit.

>>8711589
Turn to the man, he seems to know us
"Please, help me. I can't go back! They want me to go back but I can't! I need to find out who I am.
I don't know who you are, but if there was ever anything between us, please help me now"

>>8711524
>"Hey 14, back so soon from testing?"
Yes, I aced it, but if you'll excuse me there's someone I need to find. I'll be back.

And THEN

Agent 47 meets The Terminator.

>"Please, help me. I can't go back! They want me to go back but I can't! I need to find out who I am. I don't know who you are, but if there was ever anything between us, please help me now"
You plead to the young man in front of you, who frowns and turns to the Doctor. "Mr. Lewinsky, sir... She's done with her testing for now or she wouldn't be here. Why not leave her be?"

The Doctor straightens and moves towards you, walking briskly. "You don't understand, Hobs. Stay out of it."

"Come on man, she's the only one of us that isn't sick anyway, why not let her be." He pleads.

"Oh, you have no idea, boy." The Doctor is almost upon you now.

>>8711769
FLEE!
Try to trip people up and throw obstacles in his path

>>8711769
"I'm sorry- but I can't trust you. You'll make me forget!"

>>8711832
This! Do this.

>>8711769
That's the last one. Karate the motherfucker and feast on his mortal soul.

>>8711854
>>8711822
>"I'm sorry- but I can't trust you. You'll make me forget!"
You kick off from the floor and sprint through the small crowd of young adults in their suits, smacking trays down in your rush. The Doctor rushes after you and stays close behind.

"You WANTED to forget! We just did what you asked!"

Ahead of you is a glass doorway with an Exit sign over it. A security guard inside of it looks up at the commotion, confused at what is going on.

>>8711943
"I asked you to make me forget?
But that can't be right- I need to know who I am!
You're lying.
You're trying to make me forget!"
Run for the exit, try to avoid the security

>>8711943
We still have the coat, right? Shout "Help, help, that's an impostor! He beat up four scientists and wants to et me now!" and run towards the door.

>>8711943
Well, if we just burst thru the door, the security guard trapped inside of the glass should be shattered.

>>8712011
HAHAHAHA

Well played.

>>8711943
Quick, drop to the ground and let them take us back. That way we can find out what's going on.

>>8711970
>"I asked you to make me forget? But that can't be right- I need to know who I am! You're lying. You're trying to make me forget!"
You lunge for the Exit, trying to beat it before the startled guard does anything rash. You run faster than you ever have before and burst through the glass partition with the loud noise of shattering plate glass. You suffer a few long cuts on your body, but remarkably nothing too deep.
The trapped soul of the Security guard inside the glass of the booth suffers a massive crack as the image wavers and dissipates. Freed!

You land hard on the glass covered floor, your bruised shoulder taking a few choice pieces of glass into it as well. That doesn't feel to good. In front of you lies a pair of solid wooden double doors.

>>8712069
Check if they are opened. If so, open them and GTFO. If they are closed, attempt to kick them out!

>>8712069
Are there any menacing shards around?

>>8712069
Quick, backtrack to the cell we woke up in! They'll never expect it!

>>8712181
!

>>8712116
>>8712103
There seems to be a menacing shard stuck in your shoulder, and you yank it out to use as a weapon just in case. You carefully stagger to your feet and open the double wooden doors at the end of the hall to find a man in a suit sitting behind a rather heavy wooden desk. His fingers are folded in front of his face and he's wearing orange tinted sunglasses that shine dully in the meager light coming from the windows behind him. Red blinds are pulled down over the windows, adding to the dark atmosphere as you slowly tread over a thick shag rug.

"Nice to see you back here so soon, 14. I'm Jim Sankis, if you've forgotten. You always wake up so confused nowadays. Don't want to go through with the medication anymore?"

You can hear the Doctor crunching over the broken glass some distance behind you.

>>8712354
He must be our target. We should try to get some information out of him before we shiv him in the neck.

>>8712354
"What medication? What did you fucks do to me?!"

>>8712354
"Well, I've got bored in my room so I went out. The other guys tried to stop me, but they tripped on the stairs and fell. Now if you please excuse me, but I have urgent matters to take care of."

>"What medication? What did you fucks do to me?!"
He smiles at you in the dim light. "Only what you wanted us to do, Sara. You came to us begging to forget, to be released from your torment. So we helped you with our specialty. Isn't ignorance bliss?"

>"Well, I've got bored in my room so I went out. The other guys tried to stop me, but they tripped on the stairs and fell. Now if you please excuse me, but I have urgent matters to take care of."
"And where exactly do you plan on going, Sara?"

>>8712480
Out of here.

>>8712480
"To face my reality of course. Anything can be done with a good dose of self discipline. As for the specific plans... I do not find it appropriate to share them with anyone."

Oh GOD.... we're Sarah Conner guise!

>Hey OP, you get inspired from Total Recall or Eternal Sunshine on the Spotless Mind?

>>8712480
"Getting out. Doing something. Not being here fussed over by doctors, that's for sure. Anyone tell you you look like House?"

>"To face my reality of course. Anything can be done with a good dose of self discipline. As for the specific plans... I do not find it appropriate to share them with anyone."
"Your... reality?" The man chuckles behind his folded hands. "My dear, this institution is home to the deathly ill. We provide them with medication to cling to life a bit longer, but eventually they all meet the Reaper. As for you, do you not feel the sickness squirming inside of you? Death rearing its ghostly head to claim you? You knew this before and sought to forget, to live out your life without the knowledge of your most certain destination."

>"Getting out. Doing something. Not being here fussed over by doctors, that's for sure. Anyone tell you you look like House?"
He thumps a cane on the desk loudly. "Well, I AM a doctor after all."

Dammit, I have to go now so http://suptg.thisisnotatrueending.com/archive/8709944/

I expect you to have done (more) awesome shit by the time I get back.

>>8712572
"Would you care to explain further before I shut the door right behind your nose?"

>>8712572
"I'm dying? That can't be right."
"People kept talking about tests, and, and..
I'm just so confused,"

>>8712572
Oh fuck, is he actually House? House quest is best quest!

>>8712572
Death is coming for one of us...

>"Would you care to explain further before I shut the door right behind your nose?"
He sighs deeply and pokes the cane straight at you. "You are dying, Sara. It is unavoidable. We wiped your mind so you can attempt to live out your last days in peace before the end. What more is there to say?"

>"I'm dying? That can't be right. People kept talking about tests, and, and.. I'm just so confused,"
He looks behind you and nods to someone you cannot see. "Dr. Foreman, please return Sara to the rest of the group. She's confused and needs to be sedated. And prep up another batch of X19 while you're at it... we might be out by now."

>>8712572
"Heh. And you just told me about it. I'll sue your ass off. I wanted to forget, but you go and reveal it right off the bat? Oh yeah, you'll be living in the streets."

>>8712702
>Foreman

Yes, yes, House Quest is a-go!

>>8712702
"If I am dying, then why do you care? LEt me out and allow me to live my life till the end comes. I want to die under the blue sky, not in a fucking bunker tied to a bed!"

>>8712702
No!
YOU'RE NOT GOING TO MAKE ME FORGET AGAIN

>>8712703
>"Heh. And you just told me about it. I'll sue your ass off. I wanted to forget, but you go and reveal it right off the bat? Oh yeah, you'll be living in the streets."
He smirks. "I'm sure you'll be able to sue me if you escape, but I assure you, this is for your own good. I prefer to keep my patients healthy if I can, you know. I AM a doctor after all."

You hear the Doctor behind you slowly reach with his arms to grab you around the waist.

yet another quest thread

HARD

>>8712751
Go for the fucking throat. Any throat.

>>8712751
"I... I don't need to get out to get a lawyer! You might be able to keep me here, but I still have the right to use the phone and get a phone book. Come on Foreman, we have a phone call to take."

And then we became Lawsuit Quest.

>KICK BACK AND PUNCH HIM HARD!
You squat down and elbow him hard in the groin as he slumps over in pain, falling into the thick shag rug. With a rattle you see the Man behind the desk stand shakily, supporting himself on the edge of the wooden object.
"Sara! Calm down! There is nowhere to go out there, nothing for you! Here you can live out your time in peace! Why not take it while you have the chance?"

>>8712808
I don't buy it.
I don't need to get out to get a lawyer! You might be able to keep me here, but I still have the right to use the phone and get a phone book.

>>8712808
"Jesus I don't want to be a candidate for Vietnam or Watergate. All I want to do is Bicycle."

>"Because curiosity of the world is worth more than supposed safety of these walls. Farewell."

You turn and walk out the double wooden doors, leaving Dr. House gripping the edge of the desk with white knuckles. "Fine then, leave if you want!" He yells at your back. "You'll only end up dead in a ditch somewhere! Its inevitable!"

The hospital doors open in front of you as you step out into daylight. Lovely... daylight...

Fin.

Alright folks, the one-shot is a wrap. Hope you had fun since I was bored. I bid you all goodnight!

>>8712911
That's it?
Really?

>>8712938
Maybe I'll continue it, maybe I won't. Dunno yet. It was just made to release some ideas into the wild.

>>8712911
Fine, give me a power armor and a chainsword and let's hunt something!

Good one, OP. Thanks.

>>8712952
You'd better fucking continue it. House would never let a patient go like that.

>>8712999
Queue the Stormtrooper squads?

I enjoyed how you dealt with my Terminator insistence early on. And now I want to run Terminator Quest, and probably will.

Have a few good ideas in mind for a plot, but I'm open to suggestions.

>>8713045
You are a Terminator without a memory. Sent back in time to the modern day you survive as a wageslave in a megacorporation until one day you cut yourself and see metal underneath that skin. Begin soulsearching and fighting to keep yourself from the clutches of an infant Skynet and the power hungry US Military.

GO TG

>>8713077
Don't forget the Cold War Russian cyborgs and possibly Cyborg 007 if you've ever watched that silly show. Saw a couple episodes way back when. Would make things humorous.

>>8713173
You mean the cook? Oh god.

>>8713017
They'll shoot you if you don't continue it sometime in the next 30 days.

>>8713197
Oh God, what have I started... as for the Cyborgs, well I don't remember which one is which. Never even saw all of it on Cartoon Network way back when. Would be interesting though.

>>8713077
That was more or less my initial idea, until my roommate asked if instead of sending you back in time, what if the machine sent you to a slightly parallel dimension? And you were a Terminator in a world of sword and sorcery?

>>8713173
Watched the first season, which didn't have those parts yet. Funny thing is that it stayed more true to the science and fluff than the 4th movie did.

>>8713327
I dunno, I just remembered a bald cyborg that had the power to transform into objects. And the main could run really fast and had a scarf with brown hair.

As for Fantasy... ugh...

>>8713354
Oh, THAT guy! Right, I got them mixed up. Yeah, he was fucking hilarious.

>>8713354
>>As for Fantasy... ugh...

Terrible? The way he was describing it, it might not be at all bad.

I mean, you could punch out a dragon, if you didn't mind getting your skin burnt to a crisp.

It's something for me to consider, at least. My main appeal is that it would be easier to run than one in a modern day setting. And I like both ideas.

I'll have to broach the idea to a couple more people and see what they think.

Nice thing about a Terminator as your quest protagonist is that players can make some stupid choices without it instantly killing them.

>>God complex
THAT is one thing I never have problems dispelling. Usually it's the reverse, my PCs want to play super cautiously.

You better have another thread of this, OP.
