The Full Killing Floor Story!

I highly doubt the donor for the base of Masterson's DNA has any signifince at all. Masterson is inserted to DRF and manages to screw things up, as I figured he choose really bad insertion points, led squads into ambushes etc. to make Horzine products seem better by making DRF preform horrbily. In campaign Masterson is barely a block or two ahead of player most of the time but you never meet him face to face untill the end. The office was supposedly the squads target but they got seperated. He figures he is clone in the office buildings while player is still trying make his way there. And escapes via sewers to biolabs when player enters the office building.

I will admit I did take a fair bit of Poetic License in that part of the story, but I just felt that line up is a little weak. My main issues are: -
1 - Why would he escape from the lab if the plan is to set him into the DRF anyway?
2 - Why does he make bad insertion choices before he knows he is a clone, and why does he kill his fellow soldiers before he even makes it to the labs where the documents about his creation are held?
3 - Why when he finds out he is a clone does he immediately decide to kill the DRF anyway?
4 - Why does Clamely even make him when up to this point the DRF Troopers have not even acted against Clamely?
5 - How on earth does he gain the role of acting Sergeant if he has no connections to anyone in the DRF, and noone knows who he is?

I did deviate from the original a fair way in regards to Masterson, but it was to address these specific issues. I just felt it was a little more plausible that he was a regular police sergeant investigating the Murder of Clamely's wife (5), discovers the specimens and orders their destruction (4) and thus prompting Kevin to release the speicmens. He is then killed upon the release of the specimens and then out of revenge Clamely rebuilds him by cloning parts of his body and tampering with his mind (1,2,3). Masterson breaking free and escaping, then slowly his scrambled mind tries to lead a resistance agaisnt the outbreak, before Clamelys tampering finally kicks in and prompts the closing events of the story (2).

The main problem I had was I just had trouble buying Kevins motives for killing the DRF, and Masterson "escaping" from the labs, when it would be quite obvious that he would be released anyway. Since I couldn't find anything to answer these questions I did like I did for the bloat, I made an educated guess as to what would be a likely chain of events that would string it together. But of course, I'm not the original creator of the Story, I suppose this could at best be considered just my version as I would like to see it :)

Dude when the game is light on storytelling, poetic license is the only way to go. We had a few "historical timeline of Calradia" for Mount&Blade and in all of them %99 of the content was fanfiction collected from boards (Democratic Peasants Rebellion resulting in Socialist Dictatorship became Rhodoks, "There are always more Black Khergits outside the world map" became Khergit Faction, "The Vikings are at the otherside of the ocean." they invaded Calradia as Nords." etc.). And some of the character bios in M&B:Warband as offical backgrounds... :p

LoL fair play dude, that one sounds liek a bleeding nightmare xD

In fairness though, this little discussion has rpompted me to re-read my little story, and while the ideas are there I do feel it actually isn't that well written. I can tell that I rushed it, and it doesn't read to well in certain places. Sadly its Christmas and spare time when you work in retail is slim to none, but when I get a chance, I think I will probably rewrite it again and make a proper job of it.

Will also get a chance to fix a few of the continuity errors that have been discussed :)

And I forgot;

1 - Why would he escape from the lab if the plan is to set him into the DRF anyway?
2 - Why does he make bad insertion choices before he knows he is a clone, and why does he kill his fellow soldiers before he even makes it to the labs where the documents about his creation are held?
3 - Why when he finds out he is a clone does he immediately decide to kill the DRF anyway?
4 - Why does Clamely even make him when up to this point the DRF Troopers have not even acted against Clamely?
5 - How on earth does he gain the role of acting Sergeant if he has no connections to anyone in the DRF, and noone knows who he is?

1,2- There is nothing on that, it was either he was released prior or during Outbreak or it is a red herring. All the info we have is he was conditioned to not know who exactly he was. For all he knows he is doing the right thing. I came up with bad insertions because really, there is no other way to undermine DRF (ie. The Best Guys with guns against zombies).
3- He doesn't act agressively at until the finale, and then all he says is "it ends here with us" and the information he left behind for projectors are all about letting the truth out. As I figured he was not doing what he did consciously and acted according to the conditioning he had. And figured he was at the top of the players hit list.
4- Clamley never existed in the UT2k4. It was just Horzine. Also Clamley went complete nuts as soon as he witnessed the Outbreak, I take it his transformation through gene threapy didn't help much.
5- :IS2: is the greatest tank ever. Or as the old fluff goes the London Outbreak was a field test to see how specimen would fare. Given they tend to terrorize and eat people, its more then likely that the military/government was involved. But as I said :IS2: is a great tank.

Fair play, sorry I keep challenging you, but I don't actually know myself, and am piecing this together from all the information I have been able to find, so really I'm just probing you for information. Especially since I'm looking at rewriting it ;)

I guess that does explain over 1 and 5 pretty well. The IS-2 is indeed a great tank.Although I do find the fact the real Masterson would have had to have gone missing prior to the outbreak a little hard to stomach. If not it does leave 5 in even more doubt.

In regards to 2 and 3 though I am still confused, he does act aggressively earlier than the end, or at least it is implied. During the sewer level the bulk of the surviving DRF troopers were killed pretty much at the entrance to the sewers. This suggests that specimens ambushed them leaving only Masterson and 1 other trooper alive. Deeper down the final known trooper that was killed is found next to the bullpup, the body riddled in bullets.

It is not believable this was a case of friendly fire, due to the implied number of bullets the bdy had suffered. This is surely the first point where Masterson himself kills a member of the DRF. It makes more sense to do this now as this is the last trooper with him and in a straight 1 on 1 encounter he can turn on him without risk of interference, and of course no witnesses.

So the point remains the same that he turned on the DRF trooper before he even leanred he was a clone, which doesn't make sense for a man/specimen who believes himself to be a DRF trooper.

In regards to 4, the fact Clamely was never in the mod, doesn't exempt from the fact he was there during the creation of the specimens, and obviously their release. He obviously cared alot about his specimens due to the loss of his wife and son, and his hope of creating a new family was his only motivation. I'm sure I did read in his bio page that he turned the specimens loose when the police tried to stop the production of his specimens, which makes more sense given the fact he cared about his specimens enough to turn himself into the Patriarch to defend them. The attempt to destroy his specimens was like an attempt to destroy his entire life, and that makes the release also make more sense.

I never understood the idea of making London "a testing ground for Horzines acomplishments". I mean I suppose it does make sense to do it as revenge for cutting the funding for the facility, but of course there is no way the project would ever be backed again after releasing them on the public. It seems very mad scientisty to do it just to prove a point with no gain in the end. Plus the whole act of producing Masterson to destroy the DRF suggests it was in the pipeline to just kill everyone rather than having any real plan.

So I dunno, if you could help me fill in the blanks with a more believable series of events, I'd be very interested :)

holy bump

But it was worth it. I did read the story, and man, it was amazing. It was perfect in explaining all of the zeds, and it didnt rush into doing one after another. Also, it explained all their abilities. The whole thing with Kevin made sense too. God, if they made a longer version of it, I would read it. now, if only they had a book.
