SHIP LIFE

”Working together not only helps us move more quickly, it changes the nature of what we can undertake.”

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 to your living quarters.

MERO DECK ● NOMO DECK ● MORO DECK

☄Crew members exposed to Exuo will notice that effects are slowly beginning to taper off. However, most will still continue to feel some agitation over the smallest things. Perhaps a visit to the UV beds will lighten that mood of yours.

☄MINI RECEPTION

Orders have been sent down to the kitchen to prepare something small but fulfilling for the entirety of the crew as a way to thank them for their hard work gathering supplies and returning to the Moira mostly unscathed. The mess hall has been decorated—kind of. There are small, tidy bows stuck to the backs of chairs and “party favors” spread out across the tables. These favors make a room smell sweet but are otherwise harmless. As a gift from Thán, he has provided the crew with a treat of sorts in addition to the foods the kitchen has prepared. All crew scheduled for morning shifts in the kitchen will have helped with these preparations. As a note, there is also a soft, unfamiliar melody coming from an old radio on one of the tables. The captains encourage everyone to relax, have fun, and get to know one another better.

Other areas of the ship are also open to exploration! Privileges for crew ranked Tiruncula** are as follows: (1) shift in kitchen and/or mess hall duties can be skipped each week without repercussions.

It's just been a really long time since I've had it.

[Billy notices something might be... a little bit off at least, but he's seen so many things that are off by his standards, has known so many not-really-human beings, that he lets it slide for now, shrugging his shoulders.]

There's a lot of those too. Have you tried much? [He reaches out to shake his hand when it's offered, adjusting the plate he's holding to make it a little easier.] Billy. Are you new here?

[not_too_close]

[David turns back to the food, picking a plate up as well.]

I haven't. Was there something you'd suggest to me to try?

[He places a few different items on his plate, and will anything the human mentions.]

I am new. Four hours, thiry-six minutes and eleven seconds since I came through the Ingress. Are you new?

[noassgardian]

The mini pizzas are great. I think they just put out some spring rolls too...

[And wow, that was... very, very precise, wasn't it?]

I arrived last month, so sort of? I think I've settled in a bit. It's always a little overwhelming when you first arrive though, right?

[not_too_close]

[The mini pizzas it is, then. David adds one to his plate, followed by a few spring rolls.]

I'm less overwhelmed, and more curious. This ship is similar to the Prometheus, though it does have its differences.

[It was hard to judge the difference in time though.]

I'd rather know who created the technology that brought us here.

[noassgardian]

Prometheus? So you come from another ship.

[That didn't seem to be too uncommon an occurrence here, did it? He'd met others that at least mentioned space...]

Yeah, me too honestly. I want to know more about everything... but the only way to find that out seems to be through patience, I guess.

[not_too_close]

I have no fear of time, so patience is something I will not struggle with.

[Though he'd rather have his answers sooner than later, but he assumed if he'd want them quickly, he'd have to delve into them himself.]

So you are curious by nature? Has that served you well?

[noassgardian]

You're not exactly as human as you look, are you?

[He grins a little bit at the question.]

Well, that depends on who you ask, I think. How about you?

[not_too_close]

No, I'm not.

[David grins then, wide and wicked, taking a small step closer.]

You're the first human to realize that I'm not human myself. And, yes, I think I'm quite curious.

[noassgardian]

I've worked with people who aren't quite human before, so... it's not too surprising, I guess?

[Also, you could say his sort-of father was an android so. He smiles a little.] What are you exactly? I mean, if you don't mind me asking.

[not_too_close]

A Weyland Corporation synthetic.

[It's the smile that gives him pause. He's not expecting such a reaction from the man.]

The David 8 model.

[noassgardian]

So you're an android then?

[If he understood right anyway...]

I knew a couple back home.
