Week 2 of Infused Canvas Video Competition Launched!
Congratulations to last weeks winner Mentone Sands who correctly guessed the video to be of the exciting adult role-playing sim ‘Doomed Ship’. He’s bagged himself L$1000!
Below is a description of the sim -
Doomed Ship is a sci-fi/horror themed adult role play area, which first opened up to the public August 14th, 2007. The emphasis is on role-play, with all efforts directed towards creating a tense, moody environment and bringing it to life through sounds, animation, and the role-players themselves.
Nastrand Corp. ******************************************
The Nastrand Corporation is the largest corporate entity in the Sol sector, controlling a
significant portion of the planet Mars, as well as the moons Deimos and Phobos entirely, outside
the legal jurisdiction of the UCE and other colonial governments.
Originally focused on planetary and deep space mining, the turmoil of the expansion period forced
the corporation to place significant emphasis on military and defense research and production.
As mankind pushes further into the unknown depths of space, Nastrand Corporation has begun making
leaps in transportation far beyond any other government or corporation in known territories.
History ******************************************
The NCS Persephone was launched from Nastrand Corporation’s orbital facility around Phobos. The official statements were that she was a heavy freight transport whose reactor exploded just outside of the solar system. All hands lost.
This report was somewhat untrue. The ship was indeed designed with deep space transport in mind,
however as the distances between the UEC and its colonies increased, so to did the time it took to
travel between them. Travel could take years between one colony and the next. The Persephone was
Nastrand’s attempt to take over space travel completely with a new kind of engine capable of faster
than light travel.
The ship was designed around brand new technology, a “gravity drive” capable of opening a
temporary wormhole, allowing the ship to travel vast distances in an instant.
However, the ship disappeared the first time the drive was used.
Now *****************************************
Every so often, a ship is alerted to a nearby distress signal. The NCS Persephone. Nastrand has taken a keen interest in the recovering of the ship, if it indeed still exists, and through unofficial channels has offered a sizeable reward.
However, no one who has gone searching for the ship has succeeded. Some claim to have seen it, or even been aboard. The stories they tell are beyond belief, and most have been proven false.
Many ships have disappeared either searching for the ship, or after sending out word that they were investigating a distress signal.
**************************************************
Those who stumble upon the ship soon discover that it is an anomoly akin to stories of the Bermuda Triangle on Earth. Those crews awakened by their ships computers upon discovery of the vessle soon
find they are unable to discern their location, and cannot know if their own communications are
being recieved.
Some such crews wander the corridors of the ship for untold lengths of time and never see another living being. Others find themselves meeting up with others who have come across the ship. Sometimes claiming to have just arrived themselves, though believing the year to be much earlier, or later.
Others may find members of the crew, either horrified and desperate to escape, or completely oblivious that anything is out of the ordinary. Sometimes not responding at all.
Still others find other, inhuman, creatures lurking in the dark corridors of the seemingly derelict vessel.
One thing soon becomes clear to those poor souls who find themselves lost abourd the deranged ship. She has gone beyond the bounds of our universe, and she has not come back alone.
