dreamland day zero 42 players remaining. [You wake up in a temporary barracks set up behind an amusement park. The weather is chilly but pleasant, and there aren't any lines for the rides - in fact, it seems you have this place to yourself. The entire park appears to have been abandoned some years ago, and though everything is in working order, it is overgrown with plants and seems rusted and unsafe. As for you, something has happened, though you aren't sure what. There's a throbbing pain in your head, and you can't focus, as though you're coming off heavy pain medications. However you think you should look, you look like a human now. Under the bandages wrapped around your temple, old and smelling like blood, you'll find a recently stitched up scar wound and the inability to focus on your memories. You have no knowledge of how you came to be here; you may even have forgotten certain aspects of your life, or feel confused about them. The fact of your missing memories is obvious, a dark blank spot. Under the bandages around your wrist, you'll find a brightly colored bracelet, decorated with the face of the smiling cartoon animal on your wall, embedded into your flesh. It beeps a merry tune and welcomes you to DreamLand Fun Park. Just then, a voice comes over the loudspeaker.] "Good morning to all of our new guests! The park is now open! We'll get started later, but for now, have a magical day with your new friends! Oh, and there may be a few nasty side effects to your medical condition. If you meet someone having trouble adjusting to reality, please be polite!" [In your room, you'll find a small box containing several personal items - no weapons, magical items, or technology advanced beyond the early 21st century, and nothing dangerous, but otherwise anything you would ordinarily find on your person is there. Of course, nothing with cell reception or internet connectivity can manage to pick up a signal. If you swipe your bracelet against the steel door, it unlocks. You may now explore your accommodations, or venture out into the park.] profiles character statuses setting This is an IC mingle covering the first day!

A biblical quote. It does sound appropriate from how you described your existence.

[He nods.]

Thank you Legion. You have my gratitude for the offer alone. If there is anything I can do for you in return, please let me know and I will do my best to be of assistance.

We agreed. The longer we are aboard the Normandy, the more the name seems appropriate.

[ Which is Legion's way of saying it likes its name... Good job naming the pet robot, EDI. ]

All we need is to restore our software. There has been modification to our systems. We cannot perform a system restore outside of the Geth networks. [ a pause, then Legion adds, ] With systems restored, we will be able to disable the fence.

[jingler]

That would be very helpful if you could do that. Then none of us would be trapped here, though escaping will also include trying to find a way back to civilization. We have no idea where exactly we are -- I've never even heard of a park called Dreamland before.

[ Legion pauses for a few moments, the plates on its head moving up and shifting before it speaks. ]

Database entries indicate 10,200,000 entries for "Dreamland park." It is not uncommon. Further data would be needed to pinpoint this park's location.

[jingler]

"Not uncommon" is quite the understatement with such a large number! It seems we will need to find further signs of an exact location before you can pinpoint our exact location. But I thank you for trying Legion.

[5_9]

You are welcome. If a connection is found, I will attempt to reintegrate with Geth networks. Finding our location will take approximately 0.0035 seconds if this is done.
