"Big things have small beginnings."

Things have been going relatively well for the crew of the Moira thus far despite their current circumstances. With D-E-L’s help, many supplies have already been gathered, and those with the necessary components have begun making much needed repairs. Yet, things aren’t as peaceful on Del Pascia as they might have seemed.

The resident facility AI has slowly started growing more and more unresponsive to questions, often answering in rather irritated tones and short, snippy answers. Still, no system glitches appear across the prison except for one minor detail: random doors and hallways suddenly lock and close for no reason and don’t open again for varying amounts of time—ranging from minutes to hours. Does this have anything to do with the unsettling feeling some crew members have experienced since stepping foot onto Del Pascia? Or is there a simple explanation that can be easily chalked up to as an accident?

☄ DECONTAMINATION #2 ( 04.14 - 04.17 )

On the Moira, crew come and go without much hassle. They take a transporter to planets and moons and back again without any fuss... Until today. All crew that try to reboard the Moira coming back from Del Pascia will be denied access, a warning flashing on their MID - Decontamination Required for Entry. It’s a protocol that hasn’t been enacted before, and the MID offers no explanation as to why it is now. The transporter will seal and then be permitted to dock in the Cargo Bay, where the procedure will begin. All crew on the transporter have to dispose of their clothing by placing it inside hazardous waste bags located in a compartment near the front of the craft. After all clothing is stored, a gas-like substance will fill the transporter, breathable yet tasteless, and once it dissipates, crew will be free to go.

Other crew members will be waiting in the cargo bay with clothing and blankets, per the captain’s instruction, but no clear explanation will be given for this sudden new protocol aside from “potential health risks”.

☄ D.ON'T E.VER L.EAVE ( 04.18 - 04.23 )

After the decontamination procedures for the Moira go off, the captains issue a ship-wide alert to let the crew know that the ship is picking up on something inside each person that boarded the space station. It is speculated that the crew came in contact with an unknown biological contaminant either during the station’s decontamination procedure or sometime after. At this point, they aren’t aware of what will happen to those that are carrying the contaminant, and the captains ask for anybody with experience to head to the Medbay to begin testing. Crew don’t appear to be in any danger, so they are allowed to continue gathering materials and supplies on board the space station at their discretion. (Every time they come and go, they will be made to go through the procedure described above).

Any crew remaining on Del Pascia will find that D-E-L is more vocal than ever before. It is answering questions, as well as trying to convince crew members to abandon the Moira and take up permanent residence aboard the space station.

☄ FEAR ME, LOVE ME, DO AS I SAY ( 04.24 - 04.28 )

Like most unfortunate things, it seems everything happens all at once.The noises you heard, a step falling moments after yours or a rattle coming from the vents, become louder. You can’t place where they are coming from at first. You turn, you follow, but the search yields no results. And then, without any warning, it’s crystal clear as “they” begin to creep and move from within the shadows and ruined sections of Del Pascia: the prisoners and workers said to have been relocated by D-E-L. Their voice is one, regardless of how many gather, and they tell you, “You can be happy here” and “I can make you better” shortly after.

Worse than the way they speak in unison is the way they look. Mutated and deformed, their prison uniforms are in tatters and covered in various levels of the same blood that the crew has experienced during their time on Del Pascia while visiting the prison blocks. They don’t attack to kill; they only try to detain, to drag crew members further into the station and are methodical and precise in how they do this as if they’re being controlled by something greater and much smarter than them.

To those that fight, D-E-L’s voice will call out, telling the Moiran not to struggle, to stay here and be safe, be better. The AI explains that life there on Del Pascia is easy, peaceful, and nobody will cause you pain. Suffering is a thing of the past and loneliness is something you’ll never know again. The prisoners follow the command of the AI, its voice falling from their lips. D-E-L claims they feel no pain, no hunger. They are united in one purpose and are therefore free of all strife. Wouldn’t it be nice to be free like that?

As always, fearing for the safety of the crew (and despite the disrepair of the Moira from events prior), the captains ask for all those capable to assist with extracting those aboard Del Pascia as quickly as possible before D-E-L tries to lock them inside. Running, after all, is better than dying, and it’s certainly something everyone aboard the Moira has gotten quite good at.

[ While he was a little more compliant, Lois had no issue arguing the point until she was almost blue in the face. She eventually does put everything in the bag and it leaves her feeling fairly exposed and not all that happy. One hand moves to rest over her chest while the other hovers between her legs, scar on her abdomen from the crude cauterization exposed for the world to see. But, she doesn't cover it - doesn't try to draw attention to it. There were more important things to focus on right now. Lois manages a small laugh, even if it's slightly uncomfortable. ]

I feel like I should buy everyone on here dinner, all things considered.

[ This was just gonna get added to a list of things she didn't tell Clark. ]

Dinner, huh? How about a drink once we get out of here?

[He turned to look at her with his hands still covering his most vital parts. She wasn't half bad looking like this. Then again, most people were naked in this area. He tried to keep his eyes above her chest and focused on her face. Yeah. That's the best option.]

Want to exchange names first?

[ She'd been joking, mostly. But then there's a response and she can't help but smirk. Alright, sure - why not. ] A drink sounds good.

[ She's so tempted to say something about maintaining the air of mystery, but the circumstances weren't exactly perfect to begin wit

Great. [He nodded smiling. Making new friends was always good, right? Even if they were stark naked and trying not to feel embarrassed. Snake was too old for embarrassment. He'd done all that years ago.]

I'm Ahab. What's your name?

Lois. Lois Lane, it's nice to meet you - although I wish it was under more conventional circumstances. [ Does she, though? Convention tended to be boring and she apparently was a magnet for the more wild stories. ]

Any idea what they're pumping in here?

[He offered her a nod once she told him her name.]

Yeah. I don't usually greet women or anyone else like this. [ie stark naked. Just try not to stare at all his scars, Lois. He has a lot of them.]

No idea. Some kind of contaminant they said. I think it's bullshit just to get us naked.

Can't say it doesn't leave a lasting impression. [ She usually makes a point to not fixate on what people normally cover if she's not chasing a lead. Scars tell stories, though, and his probably could have amounted to a rather large novel. ]

Most sound theory I've heard. [ Because she's heard so many... Or not. ] Although if they'd really wanted to just get us naked, there are much easier ways to do it. [ And almost to herself rather than directed at him - ] I wonder what else has changed that they're not telling us.

No idea.

[To be honest Snake didn't really care that they were naked, it was just the whole secretive thing the captains seem to give off. They'd rather just go ahead and do things without informing the crew, which made Ahab wary.]

The captains seem to like placing us in bad situations without giving us much warning.
