"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.

[She appreciates that he at least seemed to be ready to take on this mess. Because it needs to be dealt with. For the past few weeks, it's been mostly her. This is how it was in Defiance, too, but a lady likes to take a break and step out.]
[This is a lie. She's a workaholic.]
It's been alternating between four and five that I've seen. Some coming and going.
What do you heal with, I need to know that first? Magic, equipment, what?
no subject
Her question shakes him out of his thoughts and he brightens just a tiny bit. He can answer this. If she's familiar with paladins and/or shaman, then maybe they can formulate a plan for him. Having an ally suddenly makes things less terrifying.]
Magic, ma'am. Nature, and holy. I'm still learning, but – I learn quickly. [Not as a brag, but more as reassurance that he'll be useful. He'll do his best.]
no subject
We have scanners that will let us see exactly where injuries are and what they are. You should probably learn to use those first.
[She motions over to where they are.]
Come on, big boy. Lets finish getting you set up.
no subject
My name is Med'an. [He'd better, you know, learn his new colleague's names and all. Vaguely he wonders if she's human or not – she doesn't quite look it, but she's certainly not any other race he knows of.]
no subject
Okay, come over here, there's a person with a broken leg.
[She wriggles her finger to get him to follow her, and strides over to a table where a woman is stretched out, face cringing under the pain of the leg that's only been set so far.]
[She reaches around him.] Okay, watch what to do. [She pushes a few commands, a menu screen, a scanning option, scrolls through the different types of scans, and shows the bone and it's break.]
no subject
Button pushing aside – he does understand the scan that's on the screen right now. It's a pretty good break, but not an unusual one, and there doesn't look like much risk of infection. He moves the scanner back and forth a little, watching it reveal more bone, and nods slowly.]
...I can fix it. It shouldn't be hard. [He glances back up at Doc Yewll, waiting for her okay.]
no subject
[She nods down to the patient on the table, and looks back up at him expectantly.]
no subject
With one more glance at their patient - a hopefully empathetic one - he takes a deep breath and calls on the Light. It flows through him immediately, as natural as breathing, and when he places his hands just above the injury, they glow a soft gold. A few moments, and the leg is healed, with barely any indication that it was broken in the first place.
Med'an moves his hands away slowly and picks up the scanner again, though he doesn't know what else to do with it.]
Um. It might be a little tender, still, but it should be fine now. [A glance at Doc Yewll again.]
no subject
[She has a lot to make up for.]
[But the display makes her nod.] Good moves, Sport. Saves on healing equipment. Think you got this?
[She thumps him on the shoulder.]
no subject
He nods, glancing over to check on their patient just in case there was anything else wrong with her, and then around the room for someone to help next. There's a few he can go to, but a stray thought makes him pause and become somber again.]
...That announcement about the Komai. Do you think we're going to get busy?
[Do you think there's going to be trouble?]
no subject
[At least the injuries are less bad this time, but now there's a few more bullet holes.]
Have you found the medigel yet?
