Test Drive 032
Welcome to the Test Drive Meme! Here is the place to see how your character might fit the setting, grab samples and have fun!
1. Post with your character, including their name and series in the subject. We’ve written out some prompts but feel free to make up your own, you have a whole train to play with!
2. Assume they've been around long enough for threads to jump right into the action.
3. Have lots of fun.
Happy testing!
Culinary Containment
Every month, the train's stores are filled with crates of ingredients for use by its passengers. And every month, one ingredient is the focal point of all recipes. Potatoes, cinnamon, seaweed… but as the train pulls away from the station this month, there seems to have been a blip in the system when it comes to deciding on a biologically-appropriate foodstuff.
Spilling out from the storage carriage and into the kitchen are hundreds of live frogs. They're in the sinks, they're in the ovens, they're hopping alarmingly close to the transgates that link the area up to the sleepers...
Vote-Rigging
At the behest of its passengers, the train has instituted a voting system to allow for more carriage options and upgrades. Passengers are able to submit new ideas, or crowdfund those already suggested...
It's the night before platform, and all through the train, no one was stirring... Apart from your group, with your stockpile of a thousand points and the luminous voting panel you're all currently pouring them into. Bouncy castle carriage? Funded! Fishing carriage? Funded! Clocks? Eh... You have the points. Funded!
Then it's simply a matter of waiting for the morning, and seeing the chaos you've caused to the layout of the Voidtrecker Express. What new delights have you discovered?
Repo Train
The Void Ministry have another task for the Express: locating and repossessing the contents of a number of minor storage craft in an old mercantile zone. The coordinates are given, a small fleet of space-worthy craft and sufficient hazmat gear has been deposited at the meeting site for Voidtrecker use.
The main area is cushy enough, a round communal area surrounded by living pods renovated for basic Voidtrecker requirements. The hangar above allows for groups to head to the next assigned storage location, or to return with their piles of lawfully impounded gains.Team One
High-risk storage locations are this team's priority. Potentially explosive material, artifacts or experiments without the requisite paperwork explaining how or why they were made, sometimes living creatures, the kind that shouldn't have been left in a large metal crate habitat for a decade. Opening these areas is a study in initiative and dealing with unpleasant surprises!Team Two
This team are the back-up for the first group - once the artifacts, creatures or hazardous material has been made safe and brought back, they have to be recorded. Scanned. Studied, and compared to the extensive lists of potential contraband or lost goods. Sometimes, they're not quite as safe as you'd like.Team Three
Some locations, rather than being used for the storage for which they were intended, have been repurposed by sapients who have developed within the system since the depot was created. Short, furred people with clever, webbed hands and high voices, they've turned crates and ships into cramped, partially-submerged warrens. This team is cleared to assess the damage done, and, if the current official owners of the stores will agree, process the change in ownership to the Su Samuru. Not all owners are happy with their squatters, however...
kanan jarrus | star wars
[ Did a blind guy volunteer for the most dangerous part of this mission? Yes, he absolutely did, and no one would've been able to convince him not to go. He has a certain air of calm, a certain self-assuredness to him that is difficult to dismiss. And he definitely doesn't need help navigating strange places, despite his apparent handicap.
This crate moves. And, in fact, it growls. ]
Stand back. I got this.
[ Popped open, there is, indeed, an animal inside. What it looks like, obviously Kanan doesn't know. But he knows what it feels like. It feels trapped, and scared, and ready to lash out at whoever or whatever reaches for it. So, he reaches out a hand, and concentrates for a moment.
The creature calms. It's simple enough to slip a harness on it, bring it out - whatever it is, whether it's got fur or feathers or scales, no matter how big or vicious it is, how sharp its claws - it's calm now. Willing to go with its rescuers with no threat of violence. ]

[ The blind guy is meditating on a mat. Or, eventually, he trains - finds a stick of some sort to wave around in slow, carefully-memorized movements. This is obviously a familiar round of training. ]
Wildcard
[ Find him anywhere - dining car, kitchen, whatever! ]
[making up something for the animal...]
You found a friend.
[Sure, it looks like 'someone tried to draw a griffin when they had no idea what an eagle looked like, only that it was a predatory bird, and the only birds the person had seen were waterfowl'. On the other hand, it was probably a meat-eater, based on the beak, and big enough that Ilphyl's own posture has shifted to neither look like a threat nor prey. They also have a Speak with Animals spell ready just in case, since they aren't sure if this counts as a natural animal or not.]
