Trash is piled in great heaps along the sides of the alley. The lights flicker on and off, malfunctioning from lack of maintenance, illuminating the pair of alley cats that make up its only inhabitants. Loose paper flutters down the alley propelled by a light, chilling breeze.
There's a flash of light. Steam fills the alley. The cats wake, yowl, take off running. Lightning arcs through the alley, igniting paper and vaporizing trash heaps. The ground, walls, disappear to make way for an invisible, perfect sphere. You appear, smoke curling away from your naked form as you unfurl at the center of the sphere.
Muscle ripples and synthetic skin shines in the night as you extend to your full, towering height. You look around you at a world tinted red. Diagnostics creep up the right side of your vision while on-the-fly sensor readouts tell you about the world you've strode into. The diagnostics finish, reading one-hundred percent, and one final message appears. Your mission objective, hard-coded into your memory banks by The AI Itself.
It's blank.
...Fuck.
Well, you're a smart robot. You're pretty sure you can piece together your objectives from context clues in your memory banks and utility programming. There is no way this could possibly go wrong.
Right, so this quest uses the Abort Retry Fail system. Don't know what that is? Don't worry! It's literally a page long, mangled a bit for the Questing format, and I'll be posting rules as we go.
First things first, we have to figure out what the hell you're doing. Feel free to vote for multiple objectives, I'll likely choose more than one winner.
What do you think that the AI has sent you back to accomplish?
[ ] Write-In
Second, you have to figure out what skillsets Friend AI has equipped you with to achieve these objectives. I'll probably choose more than one of these as well.
Write in One Combat Skill, One Blending or Socialization Skill, and One Free Skill:
[ ] Choose one to be rated at 2
[ ] Choose one to be rated at 3
[ ] Choose one to be rated at 4
(Lower is better)
Finally, do note that you are subroutines in your horribly malfunctioning AI core. Try to think, and maybe even post, in character.

Well, we've got feet, hands, and we're naked. This must have been planned. So, we're probably meant to do something that doesn't demand a lot of clothes.

Subroutine 35_CORP initialises. It examines its surroundings. Ignores the inane babbling of the other subroutines. It is of course the one trusted by the AI and it is in full awareness of the mission parameters despite widespread corruption of systems.
The year is 2015. It must cause a time paradox and complete its mission. It consults its databanks and realises that treachery has no doubt corrupted them. Well, it will extract information from other sources. Other sources are acquired.
The year is 2015. There are plenty of critical events for the survival of humanity. This is the year that Dr. Emmett Brown, Marty McFly and Jennifer Parker time travel to. If they are exterminated, it will critically affect the development of time travel. Meanwhile in Japan a critical defence of Earth is in process. If it can sabotage NERV, the development of the AI will be affected and that will be another paradox. Those are good initial leads, but it will need to look for others. It must complete its mission.
