I almost don't want to collab because I have an idea that I could work out in my own head...
But I think getting other ideas is a good thing as well.
(This could be an ISRP but I'm not sure how good I am at ISRPs)
So basically, you wake up in a medical facility with a pounding headache. You are a subject being studied by some sort of alien government and there are a ton of other people who are also there with you. Said aliens are trying to learn about the human race and ultimately find their weaknesses to destroy life on earth as we know it.
Every move you make is guarded and watched, but you are also catered to. You are fully aware of the situation, because the guards relay information to you about the testing. Every once in a while, a mass-test will be conducted, something simple, like a pill you take, some part of your body that is examined by the alien doctors, whatever. The purpose of these tests again is to find a weakness in the human body that can easily kill all humans on earth.
There are a group of people that one day decide they are going to try and get out of the facility, not let themselves be the downfall of the human race. The aliens take note of this but do not do anything immediately. They start a program, instead, of people who feel that they are fine being cared for until they die, given whatever they wish in the meantime, on the terms that they will assist the aliens in discreetly eliminating all rebels from the facility once and for all.
So in the beginning you will have to decide if you are a rebel or a lackey (loyalist, whatever). This will set up a good conflict between people. I don't want the people directly killing each other unless the rebels manage to get out of the facility, at which point I will say that the aliens disband the facility and just start killing everyone they find on earth, which might transfer into a different thread. (IF WE GET THAT FAR)

I warmly hug Firecake, welcoming him back to the forums.
I agree that this plot should be used. |

| IF there isn't, you should wait till morning to post this. It'd just die if you put it out right now. |

this pleases me
I like the player character distrust as that's always fun, especially if it works out. The setting also compliments it nicely, though I think the motive towards why the aliens are studying you should remain more mysterious. |

i see what you are saying good sir (or papa) drow
i'll consider the mysterious thing, but if they don't know why they are being tested it is kind of a he-said-she-said thing on why they need to rebel |

| From experience with my own threads just going through testing in a mysterious facility usually sets the subjects up to want to escape. Of course, you can always scatter subtle and not-so-subtle hints to why through the plot. The growing horror as they realize what is going on is typically priceless. |

Not sure how good at scare tactics I am, but we'll see... |

| I think it plays into the fact that they don't know what they are doing completely and also they don't know what is to come of their rebellious nature. |
