PANICS
PANICS or P.A.N.I.C.S., an acronym for People Acting Normal In Crazy-Ass Situations, is a comic science fiction series created by Rooster Teeth Productions and released in 2005. The series was produced primarily by using the machinima technique of synchronizing video footage from video games to pre-recorded dialogue and other audio. The series was produced at the request of Monolith Productions as a part of a tie-in with the Director's Edition of the video game F.E.A.R. which the Rooster Teeth team used to produce the series. The mini-series consists of five episodes. Four of these have been released on the Rooster Teeth website, and one — episode 0, a prequel — ships exclusively with the F.E.A.R. Director's Edition DVD. The story centers on a newcomer to Bravo Team, a special military group formed to battle supernatural enemies. As the series begins, Bravo Team has been sent into a military facility at night to investigate the reports of paranormal activity from within. This is a parody of the main scenario used in F.E.A.R.
As Bravo Team moves into the facility, Frank begins to narrate the moment with some internal monologue.
While Bravo 1 keeps screaming for help in the next room, the rest of the team keeps pondering on an optimal solution, preferably one that doesn't involve them going in.
The Chief and Frank go into the next room to see what has happened to Bravo 1, with Frank going in first.
After some punching, the surviving members of Bravo Squad conclude that they have managed to scare the ghost off.
