Title: Scruffy
Author: Brickybob aka Scruffy
Everything you read from chapter two and up actually happened in game. This game is just that complex. I was actually banned from being a captain for 10 days because of this.
CHAPTER ONE - PROLOGUE
Our story begins with Scruffy; a simple person who's only wish was to be a janitor. He filled out his application form and turned sent it to the mail. Scruffy was ecstatic with anticipation. "A janitor onboard the most famous space station around!" he said to himself.
It wasn't long before he got a reply. He ripped open the letter and read aloud, "Welcome aboard Space Station 13, Captain."
...
"CAPTAIN?!" Scruffy's mind raced. "This is a mistake! Surely it must be!'. But, no: stamped at the bottom of the paper was the seal of authenticity; this was no mistake. The lives of hundreds are now his responsibility.
Scruffy did not get much sleep that night.
CHAPTER TWO - THE FUTURE IS NOW
Scruffy sits at his newly found office. He looks at his badge in denial. Captain. Not Head of Security, not Captain of anything. Just Captain.
Scruffy knows his job is to give orders to the Security. He must get started. He leans over and says into the intercom "I am proposing a final solution to the honk problem; jail all
clowns on sight."
The security radio beeps, it's a security guard; "You heard the boss.". Scruffy's headset was flooded with chatter; "The future is now!", "It's finally happening!", "Hooray for a honk-free future!", and many others drowned out by those who were louder.
Not much has happened since that day. Things have gone smoothly. "Maybe killing the clowns was a good ide-". Scruffy was interupted by an automated announcement;
LEVEL 7 OUTBREAK HAS BEEN DETECTED ON THE SHIP.
Scruffy immediately rushed back to the office, requested an emergency shuttle and ordered the janitor to bring him a biohazard suit. The janitor arrives with an brown townyzer in one hand and a suit in the other. He scans Scruffy's vitals. "Sir, you're infected." says the janitor. Scruffy pauses for what felt like forever. "Keep the biohazard suit." Scruffy finally retorts as he makes his way to the medbay.
Upon reaching the me bay, he is only greated by a bolted door. The medbay was closed due to contamination.
CHAPTER 3 - THE END OF AN ERA
Scruffy, with a heavy heart, walks back to his office. Inside the office, he knows what he must do. He presses down the intercom; "This will be the last announcement you hear from me. I have been infected. I believe that the hardest decision is sometimes the best. I will not accompany you all in the shuttle. I wish you all the best and a safe trip home. Goodbye."
"Goodnight, sweet prince." his headset crackles.
Scruffy makes his way to his final resting place, the arrival station. On his way there, he sees a clown by the name if Niggly Wiggly. "I'm sorry." Scruffy says under his breath, and continues walking.
Finally he arrives at the arival station. He removes his energy pistol from his belt and loads it. "All I wanted was to be a janitor."
