This is the Test Drive Meme for the first full round of Lockdown! If you're interested in joining us, aren't sure, or just want to get a taste of the game itself, this is the place to experience it!

If you have any questions, your mods

amplitude and

hypothetical are here to answer them! The information for Round One that has been released thus far can be found over here. You can use that information to flavor your top levels as you'd like!

And as always, the test drive can be used for your application sample. So go wild.

▸Orientation.

The sound of a chirpy alarm wakes you. To turn it off, you’ll realize that it’s flashing 6:30 A.M. brightly on its digital display. It’s not yours. Luckily it’s not hard to turn off. Some of you may recognize the room you wake up in-- to some extent. It’s decorated as a school dormitory, but it’s made for only one. Whether you’ve been here before or not, if you look, it won’t be difficult to find your answers.

An acceptance letter to Fayflower University sits atop the desk, stating that you have been chosen as an Apprentice of something or other-- a member of the first class since the program’s restructure. Some of your classmates, or perhaps even you yourself, have come here having already taken the school’s entrance exam. Others may not. The recruiting process is never a simple one. You may have just caught their eye now.

There’s also a unique looking fitbit attached to your wrist now. It won’t come off, no matter what you try. You can also find a tablet next to your acceptance letter. You can’t download apps, but there are a handful already programmed on it. It might come in handy.

Whatever your particular case is, now would be an excellent time to take a look around the dormitory and meet the others who will be in your “class”. Maybe someone with some experience can enlighten you to what’s going on here-- or maybe you’d just like someone as clueless as you to yell and cry with.

▸Faculty Office Consultation.

You may have one or several bones to pick with the individuals responsible for bringing you here. Well the Faculty Office is open! You’re more than welcome to introduce yourself and get to the heart of the matter with them. What kind of answers they may give you though...

Unfortunately the man you'll get, whether you know him yet or not, is Oswald Hale.

Or if you’re feeling particularly naughty... you and your fellow Apprentices may feel like snooping around when the staff is out. Be careful though... wouldn’t want to get caught now, would you?

▸Bulletin Board.

In the dorm’s common area, there’s a giant corkboard plastered onto one of the walls. There’s a small banner at the top that reads, “BULLETIN BOARD”. Here’s the perfect place for all your flyers, artwork, or discussion that you’d like to keep off of the tablets. There are some things that technology can’t always emulate, after all.

This would also be a good place to start for those of you who are interested in creating a club of some sort! This is a university, after all, and what’s a university without student-run organizations? You’ve got downtime in between murders, so a little fun can’t hurt anyone...right?

▸Fitness Test.

There’s a track, if you look around hard enough, and positioned at the starting line is a clock. Right now, it reads: 00:00:0000. But as you approach, your fitbit provides a prompt… somehow. Were fitbits always able to do this and you just never realized it? But at any rate, the prompt is a simple text with, “BEAT THE CLOCK?”

You can grab others to race if beating the clock is not your style, or if you choose to accept the challenge, the timer will automatically set to 00:00:5500. Once you start running, it will begin to count down. If you beat the clock, it will reset and immediately start counting down again. A successful race will read, “PHYSICALLY FIT” on the fitbit.

However, on your first failure, you will get the error message, “FODDER”.

Anyway, good luck running a 3 min 40 second mile. Totally doable. (not really doable)

▸TEST TIME.

Did you think you would survive this without a murder? No of course not. There’s always murder. Maybe it’s someone you were close to... or maybe it was someone you’ve had a few quarrels with (...are some people looking at you a little differently?)-- either way it’s your job to uncover the truth.

But working together with everyone... can you say you really trust everyone anymore?

Was that what that was? A "pep talk"?

[ Always with the sass. ]

Dunno, you feeling any "pep"?

Let me run a diagnostic.

[ Hank blinks. ]

Yeah, lemme know how that works out for you. I'm gonna go back to looking for the damn murder weapon.

[ it was a joke...to see if he was feeling pep, see? but, ok he'll follow hank as they look for the weapon. ]

[ He figured Connor was sassing him, so that's fair. It's really too bad Connor can't just do a scan and find what they need... though he can't do that normally, either. ]

Blunt force trauma could've been anything. Did you get a good look at the wound?

Yes, I think it was a long but thin object. Maybe like a pipe, definitely no bigger than a bat. But that’s just a guess without having more information.

Guess we'll know it when we find it. Least we aren't scrambling for a knife.

[ Maybe like a broom? Hank's keeping an eye out. ]

It definitely wasn't a knife. Unless there are other wounds we couldn't see.

We'll have another look later. Can't hurt to double-check.

We should have another look either way, if the trauma to the head didn't cause his death.

I mean the head wound was definitely bad enough to kill a guy, but if he didn't fight back then he might've been out already, hard to say. I'm no ME.

[ connor just nods. he had already given hank his theory but hank said he wanted to talk things through, so he'll let him have it. ]

Considering we haven't found our bloody weapon, wanna go back and take a look at the body?

[ That's what Connor suggested, Hank. ]

We can do that.

Alright, let's go.

[ Follow that blood trail! ]

[ alright back to the body it is, then. they can look around for the other clues later. ]

[ Back they go, like proper detectives. ]

Alright, let's see if we missed anything. You wanna give him another look?

Yes, I think that would be a good idea.

[ lets scan the body for clues!!! ]

I know you're not hooked up to CyberLife right now, so just lemme know if you find anything new.

[ He's not gonna be mad if you can't find anything, buddy. ]

I can still determine cause of death even without that.

[ he needs the database for like knowing whose blood is whose and reading android models. ]

[ Hank knows nothing, he's just here to give the boy his approval. ]

Alright, have at it.

[ give him a minute while he uses his handy dandy mind palace scanner. ]

His heart stopped. He might have been poisoned.

[ excuse him while he puts his fingers in the dead guy's mouth -- or maybe stop him ]

[ Hank nods along to this new information and then-- ]

Ugh, Connor! Really!? Cut that out!

I want to be sure.

[ unlike when he found hank with scotch in his beard, the dead guy didn't leave any external traces. ]
