'click-click-click' The only sound in the terminal room. Somewhere deep in the depths of a Military base somewhere deep in Nevada Desert.
"This baby is gonna rewrite the the text books when it comes to military tactics" the spectacle wearing programmer announced as his superior officer, a large man dressed in full military uniform stood smoking in the corner, the extractor fan keeping the fumes away from any of the delicate equipment.
"The time and effort weve put into this virus, if there is anyone out there that can stop this thing then they deserve to beat us" he gloated again. "Just hurry it up" the uniformed man barked. "The money men in Washington want to see what this thing can do"
The programmer sighed, "Look its nearly finished ok, all i have to do is just hit this button..." he turned, looking smug pointing at the save icon "...and you'll have the most advanced technological weapon the world has ever seen"
The Officer allowed himself a thin smile as he moved over to the console, reaching out to hit the indicated key.
Before his finger hit the keyboard however the screen blinked, seemed to wobble out of focus as if hit by some sort of power surge.
The two men looked at each other and before they could react the rooms ligthing went from normal to deep red, alarms sounded everwhere and the clunk of the door locking mechanism could be heard.
"What the hell is going on?" asked the officer as the smaller man went back to the screen.
"Its the virus sir....somehow its...its infected us. Its in our systems and its trying to get out".
The programmers fingers began to fly over the keyboard, trying to combat his own creation, preventing its escape. Just as he felt he had won a hiss could be heard and the air vents began flooding the room with a thick gas. It didnt take long for it to take effect and both men were soon on the floor.
The only movement was now the flashing icon on the screen which slowly began to move across the screen..

Incase your wondering....Dimension Jump is the latest in Total immersion online RPG games. Total immersion means that you are plugged directly into the game, your there, you feel it, you breath it and its been a huge hit globally.
This Virus is a new weapon designed by the military to infect and corrupt computer systems and turn them against their controllers, basically making them backfire. The problem with Dimension Jump....it has AI, which as soon as the Virus reached it made the Virus aware, even more intelligent than it had been and it now sees Dimension Jump as its ideal testing ground. Controlling the Computer AI and turning the game against the players. Locking them within the game since the fact that they can leave and Rest is pretty unfair.
During this game players are allowed to create 'Sentients' their guardians in the online world and although a simple task for the Virus to take them over it is not without a sense of justice, allowing its opponents to keep these Sentients, giving itself a Challenge...after all, how can you prove your abilities if you dont have a proper Challenge?

You may be wondering about the Sentients i mentioned too...

Basically this is your charachters Guardian. It can be however u want it to be from a hulking behemoth to a tiny little mage just follow these guidelines.

1. Nothing over the top huge. 12 ft beasts of unlimited strength is ok, just nothing like a Gundam at your side.
2. Keep it Humanoid. I Dont mind if its a creature, Mechanoid or just some sort of Blob/Rock beast as long as its humanoid.
3. Weapons/Armour is fine just please dont overpower it...no Uber monsters or power rp'ing..i will be monitoring.
4. Your Sentients will be allowed to grow and evolve at certain stages, its an online RPG after all so dont use all your best ideas too early.
5. They will all be allowed special attacks...2 normal and 1 combined with you. For the latter please be realistic of how you could help your monster, not converting to light energy or anything like that etc....unless your signup/weapon says u can do that.
