Chapter 1~ Fired Up

 Saphiana Arrives

SAPHIANA DEVOTED~#53221.C

Gene experiment

Modified to live in Ice Station's cold and be the breeding founder of Project Apocalypse.
She is to be seen as Normal and a part of the Community, yet will be treated different. She, and any future generations, will have to earn their benefits and the trust of the town's people.
The Community has been informed she is part of an Skin Pigmentation experiment for living in the winter environment.
While we could help make her Brave, Athletic, and Family Oriented; we could not stop her Neurotic tendencies nor her Hopeless Romantic streak. 
Will she breed true and pass her genes on to the future generations?
Will she and her future offspring help the rest of the world? 

 

 Day 1- Recording... 
After being assigned her building and supplies for the week, she was informed she was to be trained in the Medical field. Apprehensive and yet eager to start, Saphiana arrived at her designated job site to sign in. 

This was the start for her. Nothing else matter, her past, her blank memories... if she could become a world renowned surgeon, she would be given permission to have children. She had such a desire to have children of her own someday.

 

She was given the day to settle in, to met people, to find her way around~she didn't. She found the library and settled in to learn. 

Basic cooking was the book she chose. She had no idea how to even grill a hotdog though she searched her memories, what there were of them, for anything- blank. It was her life story- blank. 

She read for little, just drifting in the words on the page, until she couldn't sit any longer. 

Putting the book back on shelf, she left the comfort of the Library.

   As she walked around town she came across a protest. Not understanding and being the curious Sim she watched, waiting to see what would happen. It didn't take long for her to lose interest. Their chanting of handcuffs was strange so she moved along, looking to buy something.

Saphiana walked into a Consignment store, "Hi. What's for sale today." She smiled at the clerk who didn't smile back.

"We have a list if you want to see it, or I can show you the stuff." He mumbled.

"A list is fine for now." She knew she didn't have much money anyway. 

He showed her books that were cheaper then the store and she bought them, hoping to maybe make a friend or maybe he would smile at her- nothing. He looked bored.  

She saw a Sim sitting on a bench looking bored so she greeted him. It was when he stood she noticed he was a teen. A nice, polite Sim who shook her hand and listened as she chatted but a teen non the less. 
She said good-bye and went on her way.

 Her next stop was the book Store. The prices were outrageous here. Sara felt better having bought some of them from the Consignment Store. 
Still, she did round her collection with a few more books. 
(Cooking 2/ Gardening 1&2)

She found the Community area not far from her quarters. The sun was still shining, the day still early so she stopped to play some chess. 
She had been playing for only a few minutes when a Sim sat down, "Mind if I join you?"  She asked.
"Not at all. I would enjoy competition," Saphiana answer. 
Time seemed to slip by and before she knew it she had to leave. She was not permitted to be out of her quarters after 5pm.

After she made her peanut butter sandwich she just had to eat a few bites. Hunger gnawed at her yet she put it down to study. She knew she could only have one sandwich a day... the rules were harsh but there are good reasons for them.

The main area- she can handle the cold...

 Her sleeping area...


Later that week....

Saphiana actually earned a promotion her first day of work. She worked hard all day, ignoring people who wanted to chat. 

 She was sooo dirty. How did they think Sims could live this way? This constant feeling of grim, of sweat and grit... and the smell? No shower, no bath, not even a towel to wipe the grim off.

Some days she woke early to hungrily eat her old sandwich crumbs just to stave off hunger. She reaped to herself, "I can do it, I can do it," while she ignore the little crunchy bits.

Then before she knew it, all the carpools were there blasting their horns as if they were mad beasts. 
The house doors banging open with their owners rushing out. The day had started, it was time to suck up to their bosses- again.

 There were even raises for her. Things were just humming along. If only she had someone other then fellow workers to talk to- about nothing. Life seemed to be work and study, Sara was craving more frivolous pursuits. 

There just didn't seem to be time for anything else. Food, work, food, work- and her own smell. If she couldn't take it how was she to expect someone else? 
Saphiana was on call now so she daydreamed of romance while she ate...

Study time after eating some of her precious sandwich. She didn't have enough money to build and buy a new item each day. Even if she desperately wanted something, like a chess board, it would wait.

Even her dreams were of work. The gentle tinkle and gurgle of water put her to sleep quickly that night....

Maybe the sink and toilet should have been fixed... maybe staying up late as tired as she was would have kept the thief away. But she'll never know...

And yet something woke her, altering her to danger. Saphiana was brave and rushed upstairs to find out why she woke. Seeing  the thief she jumped the her, fighting for her hard earned possessions.

"You better leave before I call the cops." Saphiana lied, knowing she didn't have the pull with the Corporation to call any security.
"This isn't over!" the thief scowled as she stood up and ran away.

After paying bills, Saphiana had enough credit to buy her a chess table. Maybe no chairs yet but her spirits lifted just a little, life was looking up.
She ignored the others Sims at the park. Hearing them talking and laughing together didn't hurt so much if she pretended not to hear.

 Today was an exceptionally dirty day. 
Saphiana was minding her own business when, as a practical joke, the crazy janitor shoves her into a laundry cart and dumps her into the garbage.Saphiana is unharmed, but smells very, very bad.

Saphiana came home, fixed her sink again, and ate her old sandwich remains. 
She was getting so tired of stale peanut butter sandwiches. Her spirits were low today. She was on call so decided to eat and go to sleep. 

What started out as a fast track on her career is turning into a hard pull on her regular life. 
After fixing the sink, the toilet breaks..."What life?" she mutters a lot.

 Today was her day off and Saraphina took time to wash as much grim as she could. 
"Today's my day off." she sang and washed.

She cleaned happily, singing, "Today's my day off" even as she cleans the sink.

She was happy and smiling. Saphiana got to go to the park and be a park of the crowd. To be surrounded and a part of the talking and laughing she had be hearing for more then a week.
"You only have two moves..." she said.
"Maybe, maybe more." Her opponent said.

Yet even here work crept in... 
"Ooooh, I don't feel so good."
"Is there a Doctor here?"
Sara calmly walked over and took care of the Sim. This was something she did everyday.

Then time to eat. She had put it off as long as she could but hunger always calls, it never leaves.

"Hello?"
Then one morning someone called to talk to her. It wasn't work, it wasn't someone wanting her to cook or find something silly, it was a male Sim who wanted to talk to her... to Her! Saphiana smiled today. 

Saphiana has been taking the experimental pills ever since she found out she would be paid for it. 
It always took a few moments to get up the nerve to actually take the humungous thing...

It took determination to push it down her throat.... but she would.

This would be the last time... the last thing... her last day. 
This pill set her on fire!

Screams of pain was the last things Saphiana would ever know... fire, loneliness... FAILURE!

But I didn't let her die. I know, I know~ I lost, she's done here but I have this thing about letting Sims die. Especially the Sims I really like. =]


Apocalypse is over- I lost. 

But Saphiana will be back- she's waiting in the bin! =]
