"There will be no prison which can hold our movement down."
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 nothing is familiar.
Yet, unlike most new crew arrivals, this one is in the middle of chaos.
Despite more recent events, the planet of Emiri is not as peaceful as it once was. Frederick Link is still missing, and the authorities of Emiri have yet to lift the interplanetary ban they have placed on all space crafts docked at the aerospace. The captains previous held a meeting asking crew for any and all information that might help them locate the Komai, a mysterious group determined to undermine Link'd Inc's work providing flourishing matches across the universe by causing random acts of violence and protest across the three main cities: Harashan, Avelle, and St. Murtel. These things have led to mass arrests as well as an unsettling atmosphere spreading across the planet, and since a previous broadcast, things are beginning to escalate.
A downward spiral of these events begins as soon as new arrivals start to leave the Ingress—an unmarked box arrives in the cargo bay addressed to the inhabitants of the Moira. As per his job, Niko Bellic is the one to discover this box and open it. For some, the contents may be particularly gruesome. Link’s body is inside, clothed in a simple white button-down and pants (no shoes), and it looks as if letters have begun to bleed through the material. Anyone with expert knowledge of torture may note that Link was, in fact, tortured for information, and those letters? The writing itself spells out the name St. Murtel.
The captains, having been alerted of this, make an attempt to contact those at Link’d Inc. Unfortunately, the damage has already been done.
☄ First: MISCOMMUNICATIONSomehow, whether intentional or not, the Komai have once again hacked public systems and networks to brand those of the Moira as the ones behind these terroristic acts. They still use their own name, but the images are different, focusing on familiar faces wearing the ship’s uniforms and traveling to the Aerospace to return to the Moira. Not only that, there are short recordings of Link’s final words that mention a very recognizable name: Captain Thán. The Komai have redirected the blame to the Moira and its crew for their own means, and in response, any and all crew who are captured by authorities will immediately be detained and shipped out to unknown locations. The Captains send a message via MID and request everyone return to the ship to prevent this from happening. Yet, not all messages will be delivered depending on how far away they are.
With everyone’s safety hanging in the balance, the Captains have decided to take things into their own hands and find a way to lift the block on the Moira so they can leave Emiri’s orbit and avoid further repercussions regardless of whether or not any one of the crew wants to stay.
☄ Second: DECOY & DISTRACT After learning that Benjamin Link, son of recently deceased Frederick Link, knows how to unlock the ship so they can leave, the captains ask for volunteers to act as decoys on a mission to the Aerospace in Harashan. Their job is to distract guards and Emiri citizens, leaving the path clear for Benjamin to get to the computers. The captains reiterate that they are to use nonfatal methods as they don’t want a repeat of the events on Caducus Primary. Without his help, the ship won’t be able to leave, making this mission critical and extremely time sensitive. ☄ Third: RESCUEDuring the mission, Benjamin informs the crew that the Komai aren’t incorrect in their claims that Link’d Inc uses unforgivable means to obtain information in order to make their matches perfect. The children the crew dreamed about are just two of many—the offspring of Emirian citizens who had gone missing. It has long been suspected that Link’d Inc was involved in their disappearances, but only recently has the Komai done anything to shed light on these gruesome rumors. Benjamin, after successfully unlocking the ship, disables the security systems in St. Murtel, which will allow the children a chance to escape. They’ll need assistance in getting out of St. Murtel and to a pre-designated area in Avelle where a group of Komai and Emirians will be waiting for them.
But be careful. If anyone is recognized as part of the crew, they will be placed under arrest for treason and possibly never heard from again. ☄ Fourth: BREAKING OUTNow that the computer systems in Harashan’s Aerospace have been used to release the Moira, the entire crew are being called back via MID for an expedient exit from Emiri. Crew will be asked to assist other Moirans in getting back to the ship as quickly as possible via transporters or other small crafts as leaving is their only option at this point. In the escape, Emiri launches an attack on the Moira in an attempt to stop them. The ship’s previously unused defense systems activate, and those assigned to those positions are required to man their posts. Perhaps even those who don’t have the clearance are needed. Either way, it’s time to leave. ☄ Fifth: REFUGEESNow that the ship has finally escaped Emiri’s orbit, the crew will notice a group of stragglers in the main hall. During the crew’s quick exit, about fifty Emirians have taken refuge aboard the Moira, and the captains have agreed to take them to the closest planet so they may start again or live a life free of Link’d Inc “rule”. The captains ask the crew to help get them clothes and food for their short stay, no longer than a day at most, and to occupy them as best they can. Tell jokes, sing songs, bring up the kittens so that everyone can attempt to wind down after this series of unfortunate events. Light entertainment won’t be provided, but on request, some crew members may do just that.

So he turns to her with wide eyes as he assess her injuries.
"You need to take a seat right now." Totally saying that with no small amount of authority in his voice, but he means well, since his tone also carries worry within it.
"What happened?"
Re: medbay
Actually, all of Jess' abilities would have been highly desirable and Trish is once more feeling... kinda useless, really. Being a regular human sucks.
"Sitting hurts."
Standing hurts too. Everything hurts.
"The whole decoy thing worked a little too well."
no subject
"Yeah for you and a whole lot of others who've come through here. It sounds like a mess outside, you're lucky these wounds weren't worse." He really should be helping down there, he knows it, but with his health being the way it is he knows it's not a good idea.
"I have healing magic that can fix you pretty quickly, if you're okay with me using it." He knows how some people are with the whole magic thing.
no subject
Did he really just...? Actually never mind, if he can make the ouch go away she will take it.
"You know what, don't explain, just do your thing."
She can ask questions later when she doesn't feel as if she's about to pass out from how much literally every move she makes hurts.
no subject
The pain is the first thing to go and then the swelling as the magic seeps throughout her body like a warming sensation. The bruises clear up and any other aches she has will slowly disperse as if never there.
Cyrus will lean back in his own chair once he's done a cough erupting from him as he looks her over. "How are you feeling?"
no subject
Trish's eyes become very large as she feels her pain lifted and she can see with her own eyes that her injuries are actually disappearing.
"Wow. Should have come to you straight away."
Much as she had enjoyed her verbal bit of sparring with Bruce, the stubborn sitting around and talking to people while in rather a lot of pain had been less fun.
"I mean I just came back here to get some more pain medicine but this is much better."
Especially since she was actually genuinely afraid of having her old addictions triggered again.
no subject
Cyrus just huffs a laugh as he looks back at her.
"Well I'm here all day, so you can get as injured as you like, I guess?" Cyrus no. His wry smile is telling that he's joking, please don't get injured anymore Trish.
"Anything I can do to help. I'm glad you're feeling better. I don't normally use my healing magic all that much. But not everyone in this crew is lucky to have it." At least it gets him more comfortable towards using it. That's always a plus for himself and for others.
"Oh! Um, I'm Cyrus by the way. Nice to meet you, wish it was under better circumstances."
no subject
She almost says that where she is from, no one has healing magic but really, she doesn't feel qualified to make that sort of statement anymore. The world is way too full of mind-boggling things for her to write something like that off.
Still, it's not exactly a common occurrence.
"Why don't you use it? I mean, it's a pretty amazing gift."
no subject
He knows that it's pushing it, but what's the point of having this if he never uses it?
"But I can get a few people patched up before I need a break. I don't like to over do it too much though." Another few coughs as he looks down at her injuries, which are all practically healed now.
"You're almost ready to go. Wasn't too bad, was it?"
no subject
Don't think she's not noticing that worsening cough, Cyrus, and he really is looking very pale now.
