Nice. Very well done sir. The interiors and story all seem solid.
If you want a few interiors added by my hand - we have a similar style - for trade on my Project, I would gladly lend a hand. I don't have much experience in scripted cut-scenes, but I could use one or two as a better story telling device than I currently am using.
I'm helping out A Quest for Heaven and A Time-slip Through an Off-World Underground mods. I just edited all 120 notes for grammar and spelling for A Quest For Heaven, and am writing plot/quest tie-ins for both mods. Maybe Gene-Tec was also under surveillance by the Pre-War Office of Information Retrieval, "O.I.R." They were the count-counter intelligence agency intended to act as a third part to the U.S. Intelligence Bureau, who by 2077 had become unable to function due to their bureaucratic shortfalls. Much like moddern U.S. Office of Homeland Security versus the C.I.A. became after 9/11, and the current reforms proposed.
The O.I.R. was installed in "Project Brazil," which was sealed from the outside by creating a self-sufficient city deep underground. The Office operated out of Tier 1 - 10 in the Upper vault, having agents in the field reporting back through direct mail of hard-disk information downloaded from the surface via secure internet lines. They were so secret, the U.S. intelligence agencies believed they were actually communist spies, and went to war with these so called "spectre agents." The primary objective of the office was to gather Data. All of it - even irrelevant Data, and feed it through a ZAX / "blue-ray" hybrid computer in their research facility. The Machine was built with an amalgam of parts - not only from an alternate dimension set in a "1980s" Fallout incarnation, but also from captured Alien technology.
The O.I.R. was watching the Heaven 5 facility and its immortal-AI research, along with multiple corporations and governments in the Timeslip universe.
Brazil had a Genetic lab heavily dedicated to finding ways of converting or adapting human tissue for survival after the war - after the conflict, it found many solutions, none of which were pleasant.
That last vein, even if it is just recorded in research notes scattered through the Banned Science Area of Brazil, could provide us with another Plot tie in. Gene-Tec could have been attempting to capture one of the "Annai Oran Clones," a girl from Pre-War Brazil exposed to a strain of F.E.V on accident. The resultant mutation created a rouge mitochondria in one of her ovaries, which then integrated itself into her body. The "chrysalis," or Organ-X, had the ability to recycle her genetic material like the refresh button on your internet browser, resetting any damaged DNA to healthy status no matter what damage was caused - injury, radiation, etc. The most obvious side effects were her grey, veined skin and bluish hair. The more subtle issues were not only immortality, but every 10 years, Annai's Organ-X created a copy of itself, forcing her body to rapidly and violently reproduce an exact replica of her advlt form. The "original" Annai lost track of herself generations ago, her memories being copied and implanted in each clone two hundred times. One of the first Pre-War incarnations escaped into the Wasteland. There may be hundreds of her now.
Brazilian "Blade-runners" hunt them, along with the original Annai herself with her assassin pal Jerri. They have travelled America hunting the rouge clones, killing them off before they go into a homicidal rage during their reproductive cycle.
We hope to achieve a small "Community fallout Universe" separate from the Fallout lore, but integrated into it as an expansion of existing material by linking together a few high quality quest mods. After that, we may gain a ton of attention by bundling our work into a collective package that adds literally days of new content, all interconnected, yet original in their aims.
What do you think?
) Since Alpha testing occurs before Beta, or 'completion' you could probably test in a few days. I will give you more details via PM tomorrow morning as its very late, and I am off to bed.
