"I feel liberated when I'm doing it, and I want other people to feel liberated through it."

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. Shortly after, you are led out and toward the medbay.

Inside this room, you are given a physical scan and offered a contract to sign 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.

With the combined efforts of the crew, the terror plaguing the ship has been successfully removed from the Moira. Yet, it doesn’t come without consequences. Aside from the overall state of those aboard the ship, the Moira itself has taken considerable damage across various sections. Overall functionality seems stable for now, but with necessary repairs to be made and few supplies to actually make them with, the Captains have set a course for any nearby planet with the hope of finding what they need. However, that is much closer than it appears. As new arrivals begin coming through the Ingress, a message is received by those in the Tower and broadcast to everyone:
Please be advised. Your vessel is now entering Restricted Space. As per penal code 65208-A, only authorized personnel are to be admitted beyond this point. If necessary, further assistance will be provided once docked.
As there is little choice, the Captains instruct Navigation to proceed with caution. All transporters will be required to assist in taking those who volunteer to the main hub.

WELCOME TO CORRECTIONAL FACILITY DEL PASCIA

Del Pascia is one of many facilities across the universe built to maintain and rehabilitate its inhabitants. With a combined populace of both prisoners and employed civilians, it functions as both prison and living quarters. The central section of Del Pascia is divided into multiple floors that branch out into subdivisions of the facility—clearly and precisely labeled. For those contracted to work in the prison, Del Pas Main is home. There are cafeterias, common areas for exercise and general downtime, divided residences, and work stations. Beyond this area, each remaining wing of Del Pascia separates into cell blocks A through F with similar facilities available to the inmates. Varying degrees of criminals are brought to Del Pascia, ranging from maximum security to juvenile offenders, and security differs depending on which block is visited.

Yet, there is something peculiar about this prison upon further investigation: there are no living persons within Del Pascia. The AI, which runs and oversees all of Del Pascia, has made arrangements with the Moira so that those who wish may board and take what is needed to begin repairs. This program, while generally polite in nature, goes simply by the name D-E-L.

☄ ENJOY YOUR STAY ... IN PRISON

Those who choose to go to Del Pascia will find themselves greeted by D-E-L. It has already agreed to terms with the Captains, allowing crew to strip nonessential supplies that aren’t needed since the station’s crew and prisoners were relocated due to funding cuts. The only condition placed upon this agreement is that any crew wishing to explore must undergo a mandatory decontamination before proceeding through the rest of Del Pascia. This process takes only minutes and is guaranteed to cause no physical side effects. Following this simple procedure, exploration is open with only warnings to be careful about damaging key systems. It is important to note that there are various security cameras located throughout the correctional facility, and it is not uncommon for D-E-L to comment or show concern for those exploring parts of Del Pascia.

☄ DEATH BECOMES YOU

There is salvage to be found in all parts of the facility, including the cell blocks and infirmaries of the prison wings. However, there is something odd about these sectors, a strange charge in the air that follows you as you search for anything useful to bring back to the Moira. Perhaps it is the eyes of D-E-L watching? But then, after an indiscernible amount of time, it's like a switch is flipped. Suddenly, you are wearing your sins where anyone but you can see. For however much death you have wrought or committed, there will be blood on your hands—perhaps even further than that. This bizarre occurrence will appear as an almost digital skin and will not vanish until outside the cell blocks. If exploring the infirmaries for supplies, any and all health stats throughout your life will be visible and easy to read by anyone who happens to take an interest.

For those who have killed once or twice, they might find a red stain on their hands, but the higher the kill count will result in larger proportions of blood covering their arms and, in extreme cases, perhaps their entire body. The blood will vanish once you have left the prison wing, though you may occasionally see a flicker of the image while anywhere on the station. The same goes for health stats viewed in infirmary sections of Del Pascia.

☄ WHAT WAS THAT SOUND?

Del Pascia is a very large station and has been abandoned for quite some time. D-E-L will regretfully inform anyone who asks that some nonessential areas have fallen into disrepair. It will warn that exploring these areas can be risky as it has no knowledge of what damage these sections have taken. Regardless of that, if you venture in, you’ll find that these sections are in rather bad shape. Exposed wiring sparks in the walls, a great variety of broken tools are thrown about, and it seems that every camera has been purposely broken. Venturing in further will yield valuable components for salvage, and yet... as before, you suspect you aren’t alone. It isn’t often, but sometimes, you might hear a step falling moments after yours or a rattle coming from the vents. Every time you go to investigate... whatever made the noise is gone.

Should the AI be queried about this, D-E-L will emphasize that all personnel and prisoners were removed and that there is no one on board except crew from the Moira.

[Those don't count.]

You'd know how better than me; I just got here. I'm not really in the mood to get comfortable, though.

[Those absolutely count. Besides, there has already been hugging. Hugs are also feelings, basically.]

The problem is really where we go from here. Even if we had a ship...

[Which is the most doable part of the plan, provided they like the crowded transports... He shrugs.]

You might not have much of a choice.

We need to figure out where we are. I mean, I've always wanted to go to the unknown regions, just... [A theatrical Skywalker sigh,] not like this.

I've heard this ship makes stops every once and a while. We should start making a map.

Someone's got one, of the last couple planets at least.

[ Including the one they blew up. Maybe Luke should get some rest before he hears that. ]

Nothing familiar. Not even a little.

Well, not so far. But if we hit places with anything interesting, we've got to stumble upon somebody who trades with the Core. [That's where things come from! They can't be that far out in the unknown regions if they want to scavenge for parts.]

We just have to be ready for it. [Optimism, thy name is Skywalker.]

[He will never admit that having that annoying optimistic perspective is kind of nice.]

Unless they're right about where we are.

[Aw, shucks, Han.]

Who's 'they'? The captains? [Luke has a strangely low opinion of people who kidnap him, it seems.]

[Yeah, well. He's been with the Rebels this long, it's obvious he's totally lost his mind, so.]

The captains, the rest of the crew... No one on that last planet had heard of anywhere I could name. I'm just saying, it's not looking great.

[At least it's a delusion they can share #besties]

We'll see the next time we're planet side. If we're really that far out, most of the locals have probably never seen a ship this big. [They're even more backwater than Tatooine.] They might be scared to tell the truth.

[Han's pessimism springs eternal. But maybe let Luke get some rest and food and someone to take a look at his lack-of-hand before they start piling on the awful news about blown-up planets and the Moira's trail of destruction, right?]

Yeah, we'll see.

[His good intentions don't extend to not sounding immensely doubtful, though.]

You oughta get some rest.

[Luke blinks a little blearily.] You sound like all those doctors. [Well, that's not ominous.]

You look pretty awful.

[He is only saying that because that's the kinda thing friends say.]

Thanks.

[Friendship.]

I've felt better, I guess. [He's totally not stifling a yawn, here.]

[This is how their friendship happened. Han realized Luke definitely can't be trusted to look after himself.

Clapping him on the shoulder, he doesn't even bother mentioning that the doctors probably have a point.]

You know where your room is?

Moro... Sixteen? [He frowns.] It looks like a nursery from the Core. [He's seen holos of those, once or twice. He's not sure how he feels about being shoved into one.]

We've got giant eggs on Mero.

[Actually the giant eggs are pretty comfortable. He shrugs.]
