Each of you have either been recently transferred here or been captured and brought here in the last 8 weeks. This place is some sort of Suul testing facility. Here you were locked up in damp, dark cells that are barely long enough for you and your cell mate to both lie down at the same time. The food here is terrible and frequently rotting, and the bedding is equally as pathetic.
In the cell block you are in there are 5 small identical cells. There is a heavy metal door that is locked and barred from the outside that the guards occasionally come through to bring you food or water, or worse, to haul you away for tests.
The tests started the day you arrived. You were hauled into a large room with six exits. In the middle of the room was a rack that you were attached to. Above the rack was a humming sphere that had many smaller spheres rotating around it without touching. While on the rack, they injected you with all sorts of liquids, some that burned, some that froze, and all that hurt.
After the round of injected liquids, the sphere was lowered to right over your abdomen. Then something happened. The humming got a lot louder and the spheres rotated faster. The pain that you felt from the injections was nothing compared to what happened next. Your body would start to feel as if it was being torn apart until eventually you would pass out. Your bruised, bloody, and burned body was then deposited back in your cell without much care.
You were given smaller scale tests every couple of days since. The pain was much less severe with these smaller tests, but they still left you battered and bruised. Burns would develop on your skin, even though you were not exposed to any fires. The headaches you would get during the test would last for hours or sometimes days. During the test nausea would start and last for a few hours after the tests. These went on for two to three weeks.
After your bout with injection tests were over, you were brought to another room. Here they would strap you onto a table and cut, poke, and prod you. Frequently, you were tortured to the point of passing out. Sometimes you received healing in the form of potions, but most of the time you were just deposited back into your cell.
It went on this way until recently. No one has come through the cell block door in a long time. You are all very thirsty and hungry. The busy din of noise you can normally hear has stopped. Everything has been silent except for your own voices.
Cell Situation:
- Hakanai (Jeff) – Gregor (NPC)
- Pincher (Jason) – Nose (NPC)
- Bernard (NPC) – Malkus (Sean)
- Ricochet (Spencer) – ?? (Shon)
- Fisher (Ryan) – Bridgette (NPC)
Gregor (in Hakanai’s cell)
Gregor was captured a few months before Hakanai and was one of the first people who lived through experimentation that is still alive. Gregor is a physically tough ex-soldier who is now plagued by severe chronic pain. The pain started with the experiments and is getting worse with each experiment. After retiring from soldiering, he became the leader of a mercenary company called [company]. The company was on a mission for the rebellion in Ethbar when they were captured. He loves to tell old war or campaign stories.
Bernard (in Malkus’ cell)
Bernard was one of Gregor’s men in [company] before being captured by the Suul. He doesn’t speak, but uses some form of sign language to communicate. He has been extremely careful never to make any physical contact with Malkus. He is constantly pacing through the small cell. He’s not a very exciting cell mate.
Bridgette (in Fisher’s cell)
Bridgett was a staunch rebel agent before being captured by the Suul. With her slightly olive skin, she could pass as either Suul or Celestine. After being captured she suffered untold abuses before she was brought into the cell with Fisher and discarded. She hates the Suul with a passion and would do anything to rid the world of them. She is both fierce and aggressive and has been beaten nearly to death by the guards on several occasions for her defiance.
Nose (in Pincher’s cell)
Nose is a trusting fellow who got his name from his peculiarly long nose. He seems to have come in with Pincher. He doesn’t appear to be particularly bright, but he’s a man of faith and honesty. He has a military background and is loyal to the country and believes strongly in the rebellion.
