A Starr Story [Experimental Scientist Lab Quest]
« on: June 21, 2016, 06:01:44 pm »

You are Samantha Starr, the founder and chief executive of StarTech, an international megaconglomerate with facilities from New York to Tokyo. With friends in the same. In every sense of the term, you are a one-percenter. You love science, if that wasn't obvious already. The study of how things work and how they relate to the human condition? Yes, please. All the science! You created StarTech from blood, sweat, tears (of others) and the dust you accumulated in your garage. It was a long, arduous journey, but doggone it, you did it!

You're known for a few things. One of which is your nickname, "The People's Chief". Given to you because you are senior chief of the company, but you act like an employee. You're most often on the floor (any area where developments are being conducted), preferring it to your office. You even have your own projects! You're CEO 2.0. A new breed in ... you get the point. You're also known for your unshakable foundation, unable to be faltered by even the most powerful countries. StarTech is your life blood. Your baby. And like any mother hen, you'll peck the hell out of anyone who tries to threaten it.

It's not just another day at the lab for you. There is a meeting of the board, where you are to unveil StarTech's latest pursuits. You have three projects to present to your senior partners. Make sure they're good, or they'll look at you sideways. Nah, just kidding. They'll either find another company to fund, or snatch the rug from underneath your feet. Powers tried doing it to Bruce Wayne in Batman: Beyond. If it can happen to Batman, it can happen to anyone.

Without further ado, you prepare to present StarTech's latest developments. Break a leg!

> Public Project/Development 2
> Public Project/Development 3


You also have three personal projects of your own that you aren't saying shit to anyone about. What are they?

This is a quest I'm trying based on an OC of mine. It's more of a testbed experimental thing with an emphasis on freeform voter input than anything else. Also, (light) mechanics are a thing. Nothing serious. That said, you'll have to be careful in this quest. The world is alive, and will react to your decisions. Samantha Starr is your avatar. What you do happens to her, so think like a scientist! Actually, think like a politician.

Public Project One: Machine that can mass produce kidneys for those who need a transplant.

Speaking of lowest intelligence, that reminds me of the fact that it's probably your first time in prison. Don't worry, I can give you some tips, having spent some time in a few myself. The best way to make friends here is to drop the soap during shower time. Try it, I'm sure you'll love making friends like that!

Public Project One: Organ cloning.
This seems better when worded like this, also it will allow us to make more then just kidneys, though kidneys could be the start of said project.

That would only make a copy of your mind, not actually upload it.

Not bad. Not bad.

Interesting.

I think someone else said it already. Your mind would only be copied. Though, I'm not going to be pedantic. I assume you mean consciousness uploading type shit, where you become an AI and stuff. Yes?

In any case, I was hoping to get all six filled up before going, but I'll cap it here and post the update in some hours.
