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.)

“They found his finger, Sirius. I don’t recall that ever happening when he changed before.” Unless he did that on purpose to frame Padfoot, a quiet voice says in the back of his head. As much as it doesn’t mean ale sense for Peter to have been the spy, it also makes no sense for it to have been Sirius. And Remus has always been fairly decent at spotting whenever Sirius is lying... though if he was the spy then maybe he’s better at it than Remus ever thought.

He hesitates before finally lowering his wand. It isn’t like Sirius has one anyway he could do anything with if he wanted. “Why should I believe you?”

“Why would I want them dead, Remus?” His voice is a little rough, shoulders shaking. “He cut his damn pinky off, I saw him do it. I wouldn’t kill them, you know I wouldn’t. They took me in. Lils and James were like my brother and sister. So were you, once. Would you want to find them dead; to be haunted by it every single night?”

“Of course not,” he snaps back, then sighs and runs a hand through his hair. “It doesn’t make any sense for you to have done it, but it also makes no sense for it to have been Peter.” Except that Sirius’ story does fill in some of the confusing holes in the official story. But he has had two years to come up with an explanation...

Remus catches movement out of the corner of his eye and reflexively shoots a hurried ’stupefy!’ over Sirius’ shoulder at a rather small dinosaur that had been about to jump on him. “Shit,” he mutters, noticing for the first time that there seems to be rather a lot of the little things around suddenly. “I think we should probably leave. Quickly.”

“Right, there’s a job to be doing.” Sirius just looks tired for a moment, rather like Remus does after the full moon. “Don’t suppose you could accio the damn thing while Padfoot acts as a distraction? I haven’t got my wand.” For obvious reasons.

“I told you already, we switched secret keepers. On Dumbledore’s advice.”
