  • You Are Already Checked In
rdfs:comment
  • A character arrives at a security checkpoint where he has to verify his identity in order to gain entrance. He takes out his ID-card, runs it through the scanner and is surprised to find that it is being denied. The receptionist then tells him that he is already checked in. This can only mean one thing: An impostor is on the loose! Curiously, the guards never seem to suspect the second person/group of being the true impostor. A variation of this is when the security check is especially high-tech and demands a finger/hand/iris scan. In these cases, expect cloning or time travel to be involved.

  • A character arrives at a security checkpoint where he has to verify his identity in order to gain entrance. He takes out his ID-card, runs it through the scanner and is surprised to find that it is being denied. The receptionist then tells him that he is already checked in. This can only mean one thing: An impostor is on the loose! Curiously, the guards never seem to suspect the second person/group of being the true impostor. If the hero is the impostor, it means that his cover is blown, and he must prepare to fight the local security team. If the villain is the impostor, chances are that he has already fulfilled his objectives and destroyed the evidence/killed the witness/sabotaged the equipment, etc. A variation of this is when the security check is especially high-tech and demands a finger/hand/iris scan. In these cases, expect cloning or time travel to be involved. Examples of You Are Already Checked In include:
