week 2 ▹ arrival
the ingress
[ Lena half-walks, half-stumbles out of the Ingress. All she's aware of at the moment is that she's not in Numbani anymore and that her chest hurts. She feels both strangely feverish and like she's been thrown in ice water. She leans heavily against the first rock that's large enough to support her weight. It takes a moment for her eyes to focus. Not that it makes a difference-- all she sees is a barren landscape and a few broken structures that look like they might've once been magnificent. She can't focus on much more because the pain in her chest is unbearable.
When she looks down, she sees why.
The Chronal Accelerator has fused with her body, creating something that looks alarmingly like a second set of ribs made of metal and plastic. The core is still working and in the proper place, both on her chest and on her back, luckily. Unluckily, these 'ribs' are digging painfully into her chest and converge in the back in a particularly alarming way, just inches from digging into her spine.
So that would explain the pain.
Lena swallows hard and takes a few deep breaths. She's trained to keep her head in spite of the unexpected. All of her training as a test pilot and an Overwatch agent almost isn't enough now. Panicking won't help, she tells herself, as she walks slowly away from the Ingress.
First, she needs to find Winston. If anyone can figure out what happened to the Accelerator, it's him. As to disappearing from Numbani and reappearing in a barren wasteland, well, she's not sure who could explain that. She just hopes he wasn't hurt too. That sobering thought pushes her along, though every step makes her wince. Eventually, she decides to risk it and call out to him. ]
Winston! Where are you, big guy?
camp
[ She's found her way to camp, likely led by a kind soul (or several). She's currently sticking to the fringes, not socializing like she usually would. Lena's not in a bad mood, but she is in pain and is feeling strangely self-conscious about her Acclerator. It being like a creepy second set of ribs would do that.
While she won't go up to anyone, she will smile at anyone who decides to walk over and check on the new girl. ]
Heya. Hangin' in there?
week 3 ▹ exploring
settlements
[ Lena has slowly gotten used to the pain associated with her distorted Accelerator. Now she's out and about (probably not in any condition to be, but there you are). First, she decides to scavenge. Lena appeared only with what she was carrying and that wasn't much. Although she's sure the others would share with her, she'd like to gather some supplies of her own. Or at least find things that might be useful to others.
Normally, she's clever enough to avoid traps, or at least spot them. But she's distracted and, frankly, not expecting any traps. Which is unfortunate, as she triggers a particularly nasty paralysis trap upon stepping into an abandoned kitchen. Lena falls gracelessly (and loudly) to the floor.
So much for going it alone. ]
caves
[ She struck out at the settlement, but she's going to give the caves a try. But she learned her lesson-- teamwork makes the dream work. Which is why she's standing inside the caves, but within sight of the entrance. Anyone who happens to walk in will be greeted with her asking if they'd like to team up. ]
Fancy havin' a look about?
week 4 ▹ holiday
camp
[ It had not, in fact, been Christmas when she left.
But Lena loves Christmas and any chance to celebrate it, even in these conditions, is met with unbridled enthusiasm. Maybe that's what they need after all of this time spent traveling. Some, she found, are even mourning. Their ship had gone down and not everyone made it out alive. Perhaps celebrating in light of that is tasteless. Or, perhaps, it's a way to distract themselves from the pain, physical or emotional.
Regardless, Lena fully intends to have a good time and strong-arm anyone else into having a good time. There's music and she can dance and I hope you can too because she's going to try to grab your hands and pull you in. ]
Come on!
