The Ingress has pulled you in. Your body experiences several sensations at once: being pushed forward as if a hand is resting on your back, momentary and startling blindness, a gentle ringing in your head. You have difficulty discerning whether it is hot or cold, but where you have been prodded is noticeably warmer than the rest of you. Some may suffer from dizziness while others are perfectly fine. Once equilibrium has been reestablished, you will notice you are standing on a long platform and that the room is filled with a soft cerulean light. It's slightly humid and dark despite the glow around you, and various machines line the walls on either side, though they are not accessible from where you stand. Shortly after, you are led out and toward the medbay.
Inside this room, you are given a physical scan and sign a contract that states you are now part of the crew of the Moira with a specific job. This process consists of a complete work-up of medical history and current health, and afterwards, you are given your MID, a device that is integrated into your hand with only the slightest pinch. From there, you are guided out of the medbay and into the main hall with specific instructions not to leave.

☄MAIN HALL ( 09.01 to 09.03 )
After everyone is gathered together, you learn that these are your accommodations for the night. The captains explain that the Moira is not readily suited for such a large influx of people, and that this is only temporary. Placed around the room are a variety of blankets, sheets, and mats in lieu of beds, and crates of MREs have been provided along with H2O hydration kits. Some time in the “morning hours”, all MIDs will receive a message designating rooming assignments and areas of the ship that are open to exploration.
GALLEY ● MESS HALL ● REC AREA
All remaining areas accessible to crew members are open later in the “evening hours”. Crew are also informed that the Moira is approximately two days from their current destination.

From a distance, the planet’s reddish atmosphere slowly becomes more transparent the closer the Moira ventures, and mountain ranges, volcanic fields, valleys, ice caps, canyons, deserts, and impact craters are visible in stark detail. The remnants of a lone moon hangs in its outer orbit and impedes the ship’s ability to dock close to the planet’s surface. As the crew prepares to disembark, there are noticeable changes in gravity as well as some disturbances in energy output.
☄EXPLORATORY EXCURSION I ( 09.04 to 09.11 )
Due to unstable atmospheric conditions, crew members must utilize the transporters located in the Cargo Bay to descend to the surface. Each craft holds upwards of six passengers and is piloted remotely via Navigation. Once it lands, orders will be sent to MIDs detailing mission directives. These include: scouting surrounding areas for potential threats, determining if the mile-long road from the transporter to the nearest inhabited area is free of hazards, and assessing local friendliness.
Planetary Environment Details
● The air is breathable. However, there is a pleasant sweetness to it that generates an overall invigoration.
● Vegetation is sparse due to dry and windy weather patterns. It’s dusty, and the ground itself is rather gritty in texture.
● The initial temperature feels hot and causes the skin to prickle with sweat. Yet, the longer one is exposed to the elements, the less you are inclined to notice.
● There is an overall lack of civilization, and what populace there is remains centralized in one area. Crew members may stumble across the occasional explorer returning to their own ship; they are friendly and welcoming but also eager to leave.
● The sun does not seem to set. Even in the “later” hours of the day, it is still as bright as it had been at “noon”.
☄EXPLORATORY EXCURSION II ( 09.12 to 09.17 )
A thriving marketplace that was found during the initial search has been deemed an appropriate place for trade and much needed supplies. Crew members are encouraged to engage in local customs while continuing to maintain their current duties aboard the Moira, and they must assist in the delivery of goods to the transporter. They are more than welcome to explore this new area.
The Marketplace
● There is no monetary system in place; if there is an item you want, trade for it. (Locals will accept anything as payment.)
● Booths, shops, and tents line both sides of the pathways weaving throughout the area. Signs with written language are not recognizable; however, MIDs will translate any spoken languages so they are understood. Vendors are an eclectic mix of species, and not all of them are humanoid in form as they are from varying parts of the universe.
● The smells of foreign foods are everywhere. Yet, that familiar sweetness seems to occasionally overpower it. It is also loud as others bustle about their business.
● Natives are not unkind, but they are not as overly welcoming as strangers in the market are. They are quiet, reserved, and helpful to some extent. They are easily recognizable by the plain masks and hoods worn over their faces.
●Seedy areas are found in the depths of the market. Drug and sex trades are not uncommon but not openly displayed.

"Pleasure, Bellic." No, he definitely didn't misread this man. They knew eachother, perhaps in a different time or dimension, but the man knew just what to say and the subtlety at which to say it. "I think you already know that answer. You're not the first. I've been getting the feeling people are tiptoeing around me like I should know them. I'm not a fan of tiptoeing."
He offered the man his hand and tipped his head slightly to the side. "So, starting over: Tony Stark. AKA Iron Man. AKA That Asshole. AKA Frequently Abducted By Space Companies, I gather? At least they have good taste. I'd want me on my crew if I were them. Apparently there are two of me," He gestured down at the MID on his wrist. His name appeared twice on it. "Can't wait to meet my twin. I'm sure we'll hate eachother."

"People there didn't remember sometimes. It ah... I put it like this, the job they had us do was nothing to be proud about about... But they kept people in line. Those that could not be brainwashed for fighting back? They were tortured as punishment." His girlfriend being one of them. "Some eventually began to even like them. It got to their heads. But I grew up in the war in the Balkans." The Yugoslav Wars. "I can smell the bullshit. They are probably glad for you not to remember."
And organized crime had not been so different than their tactics.
He looked at his own MID.
"Well, I am lucky. If I were to meet myself, I am thinking we would both end up missing teeth." Or worse.
He really wished people would stop putting these fucking things on him.
no subject
Tony did laugh though, because he could easily imagine himself getting into a verbal match that would end in both of them missing teeth. "I can't promise there won't be missing teeth in the end here, either. But it might be more because someone else knocks us out than swinging at eachother." He could admit, he was a bit on the annoying side. A bit.
He watched Niko glancing at his mid, the thought almost playing across the guy's face because he'd seen it on others. "It's a bit intrusive, isn't it? Maybe they'd let me incorporate my own design--sleek it down a bit."
I guess I psychically replied to this.
"Yeah, I'd prefer it to ah... whatever this is. It is kind of hard to make a fist." He couldn't wear his gloves in it, too. "Another reason I probably won't be doing much punching." He flicked it with a ping and then lazily crossed his arms in front of him with a displeased look.
"They give you a very normal job, too?"
My psychic receiver must be malfunctioning. Lol!
Tony studied his MID curiously and nodded. It shouldn't be hard to tweak the housing without damaging the device inside. He could better streamline it and a new design would actually help both of them. "I'll see what I can do if they let me around any tools. Back home, I'm something of a mechanic-slash-engineer-slash-..." Superhero? Yeah, he decided not to say that and shrugged instead.
"They have me working in engineering, which couldn't be a better fit. I'll be working on the engines, communication, and the power grid. I'm in heaven. Where do they have you working?" Colour him curious about this man's skills.
no subject
But then... He looked weary.
"I am to tend bar until there is a replacement. I like to drink, do not get me wrong, but I know shit about serving them. I will be happy if they put me behind good loading equipment to use. It will be the closest to driving that I can get."
