Critiqued By Crazy Minh and Lt. (Junior Grade) Duty Nurse (Junior Grade) Jim Jimson

Content warning: This fanfic is rife with depictions of child abuse. While it isn’t particularly graphic or detailed, it does constitute the majority of this story. 

*Minh sits in a dark office, thunder booming in the background. The office is situated in a labyrinthine building, a brutal mental institution for bad fanfiction only known as…The Asylum. The office is a mess. Papers are scattered across desks, random junk scattered everywhere. The carpet is moldering and stained with blood. Behind Minh, a laptop computer displays the insane text of one of The Asylum’s many badfic inmates. A cup of tea sits on the desk to her right her, steaming in the cool evening air. To her left floats a ghostly figure of a man wearing what looks like a Starfleet uniform. All of the insignia have been hastily covered with caduceus logos, and a ghostly surgical mask affixed over the man’s mouth*

Hello, patrons, and welcome to the Asylum, and to Spooktober!

Some of you will know me as the fearless captain of the Starship Bongo, riffing the badfic galaxy as a guest riffer for Library of the Damned! Well, that’s no longer the case. Now, I am the fearless Head Warden of The Asylum! With me is my ghostly former-helmsman (now Duty Nurse for Ward 13), Jim Jimson!

Wait, I’m a duty nurse now. This seems like a step down. A biiiig step down. 

Deal with it, Duty Nurse. Now, begin dictation!

Damn you to hell. 

Today’s fic is from the FEAR category, as this is Spooktober, month of Spookiness! I should explain a bit about F.E.A.R.

F.E.A.R: First Encounter Assault Recon is FPS developed by Monolith Games, and published by Vivendi Productions in 2005. The game’s premise is that in 2025, an arms developer known as Armacham has been contracted by the US Department of Defense to develop a new breed of soldier. Codenamed “Project Perseus”, the plan is to develop an army of clone supersoldiers controlled telepathically by a single individual. Armacham already has one such man, a powerful psychic called Paxton Fettel, who is the product of a previous experiment known as Project Origin. 

However, one fateful day, Paxton appears to go insane, activates the supersoldiers, and begins to slaughter Armachan employees. In response, Armachan contacts their employers, the US government, who send in a First Encounter Assault Recon (F.E.A.R.) team. F.E.A.R. is a specialized unit of the US Army Special Forces intended to combat paranormal and psionic threats.

You play through the game as the Pointman, the unit’s newest recruit. A mute and otherwise unnamed soldier, the Pointman possesses abnormally fast reflexes, which gives him matrix-style bullet time powers in-game.

While fighting Paxton and his army of clones, the Pointman discovers the details of a sinister conspiracy at Armachan, and also encounters some very strange and creepy events. Events that might be just experimental technology, but are possibly something otherworldly…

Now, this fic apparently is about the Pointman as a child, and a quick glance over it reveals it to be a trajedy fic. *heavy sigh*…roll fic.
