TDM 01: Your Mission, Should You Choose to Accept It

[dcparadoxmods]

Welcome to the Cloverfield Project: Dimensional Nexus Recovery! The CIA has recruited you to help fix dimensional shenanigans. Your missions, should you choose to accept them, are as follows:

1. Clever Girl

The setting: a paleontological theme park that's been closed for a number of years. Your mission: retrieve a hilariously ugly golden idol that's been dropped in the middle of the park. Hopefully a dinosaur doesn't eat it before you can find it - or, you know, eat you instead.

2. The School Is Not Going 65 MPH

The setting: a stereotypical high school. Your mission: find the literal ticking time bomb that's been pulled in from the action-packed climax of someone else's story before it blows the school - and all of its occupants - sky high. Your pre-mission briefing didn't tell you exactly how much time is left on the bomb, but you're pretty sure it's less than an hour.

3. Wild Card

Feel free to come up with your own combination! What person/object/etc are you rescuing from what world? What's the situation that needs fixing?

(A note: Creating/running your own missions is highly encouraged in the game itself; sample missions are to give you examples for the test drive.)

He nods. “The problem is that we’ve no way of knowing if it’s even in a place that is accessible.” Even as they are talking, Remus is sliding over to a nearby janitorial closet, muttering a quick alohomora, and quickly scanning the shelves for anything suspicious. “If it is inside a wall, or a small vent, it’ll be that much harder to find.”

He's *great* and I love him /chinhands

"Well, no," the Doctor answers with a shrug, not even so much as batting an eye as Remus breaks into the janitorial closet. His own method for doing so would have been a little different, perhaps, but given that they're meant to be saving people's lives, he's not going to complain at a spot of breaking and entering.

Especially not when they already have, technically, simply by being on the school grounds.

"If we knew more about the sort of... device" he's not going to say the word 'bomb' in a crowded school, when just anyone can hear "we're looking for, I might at least be able to scan for something of that approximate level of technology, but that really works best if it's something that's out of place, temporally speaking."

A pause, and then he continues, double-checking that there's nothing on the ceiling or stuck to the undersides of the shelves.

"Hopefully we aren't going to have to look through each locker individually."

Partly because it'd be time spent that they might not have, but also because it'd be a lot harder to explain, if someone came across them in the process.

I love him and his companions and the audios and the books and and and I HAVE A LOT OF FEELINGS

“I take it you have a lot of experience with things being out of place temporally?” The concept isn’t completely foreign to Remus. The Wizarding world has time traveling abilities, but it’s something that is so (rightfully) regulated Remus doesn’t really have any experience himself. It’s not like the ministry is about to trust a werewolf with a time turner, even if he had a legitimate use for one.

At the comment about the lockers he groans, looking back at the Doctor for a moment as he closes the closet door. “Don’t even joke about that, we would be here all day if it turns out that’s the case.” A brief pause before he adds, “and I’m fairly certain we haven’t got all day.”

*Same*. I mostly stick to the audios, but even then I just... *feelings forever*

[windsrising]

"I do." There's a nod to go with the words, just before the Doctor continues on. "One of the side effects of being a time traveler. And you'd be surprised how often things tend to just sort of... get pulled along if someone isn't being careful with their Vortex trails. And that's not even counting things that end up getting left behind."

This all comes out without even so much as a pause on his end. Or for that matter, him seeming to be at all inclined to consider the fact that Remus hasn't got any real idea of what he's talking about. On the other hand, it does lend some credence to the fact that this is something that he deals with a lot.

"You're probably right though. We'll be lucky to have more than an hour or two at the most."

Plus there's the fact that they don't really know what the bomb actually looks like, just in case things weren't already complicated enough.
