"Each of us needs to withdraw from the cares which will not withdraw from us."

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.

Having left Amissis-Re behind, tensions among crew members have continued to escalate into ship-wide consequences, and recognizing the need for some separation among those aboard the Moira, the Captains make the unanimous decision to deviate from their present course to a "nearby" planet that is notable for such popular distractions. While it is not a permanent solution, measures are being taken to monitor the crew's morale much more closely. New arrivals will be treated as they always are; yet, now, more than ever, it is important to stress the balance of working together toward their goal of reaching their destination so that everyone will return home.


WELCOME TO COLLECTIVES ASH3 - BF3 - CLF5




The Collective is a paradise resort located far from any other neighboring planets to offer the most leisurely experience possible to its patrons. Artificially created for multiple uses, it is divided into separate locales interconnected with a tubing transport system that is so fast and efficient that it’s like being teleported to the next area. Extensive mapping can be found at various intersecting points to offer some direction, and there are even recognizable adverts from a very familiar stop months before spread out across the Collective. Whether looking to explore or to simply shed the weight of anxiety, there are plenty of opportunities to be found within ASH3, BF3, and CLF5.

All crew members are given a card from the Captains that has an unlimited amount of credits on it. Organized through trade, these allow Moirans access to any of the luxuries that the Collective has to offer aside from the purchase of items considered weapons due to the escalation of recent events. Food, clothes, trinkets, or even a full spa experience—the limits, otherwise, are endless. The Captains emphasize that this is time to relax and take a break from the grind that is living and working on a spaceship as unique as the Moira.

B.E.A.C.H! THE BEST ESCAPE ANYONE CAN HAVE!
For those seeking a fun time, the Collective offers a variety of activities on ASH3. There are multiple beaches to enjoy as well as beachside kiosks offering drinks, beach toys and surf equipment for those a little more sports-minded. The tide washes in beautiful shells to collect, and there are always life-guards on duty to make sure everyone stays safe while enjoying their time on the beach. ASH3 offers a safe and friendly environment with plenty of fun in the sun for everyone. There is also a boardwalk full of restaurants, bars and plenty of games and entertainment for when you want to step off the sand but don’t want to give up being out in the sun.For those who can’t or won’t bear the sun, ASH3 also offers a thriving night life on both beach and boardwalk. There are midnight boat tours to view the bioluminescent schools of fish native to the island and bonfire dance parties that go long into the mornings. On the boardwalk, all shops are open until midnight as well as many clubs and social spots where crew can mingle with other tourists in the area.

So you don’t like the sand. It’s too hot, and it gets everywhere. Then hop onto one of the many transportation systems, slip into some warmer clothes, and take to the slopes. More experienced crew can immediately dive in, but those who need help can take lessons on how to ski or snowboard. There’s hot cocoa, sleds, snowball fights, and the occasional person making a snow angel (or snow person). ASH3 also has areas for rock climbing, sky diving, base jumping, bodyboarding, canoeing, hang gliding, jetskis, mountain biking, hiking, and much more.

WHEN I SHOP, THE WORLD GETS BETTER
Not everyone enjoys shopping, but this Collective entices even the most frugal and reluctant into spending their credits here. In fact, the Captains are encouraging this. They give the explicit “order” to buy whatever you want for yourself and your fellow crew members, but more than that, to consider making purchases to better the ship. Is there any area of the Moira that needs spruced up? Maybe some fresh paint in the mess hall,or new furniture in the decks? Maybe some fancy curtains for all those windows on the observation deck, or a few throw pillows? New pots and pans for the kitchen might be something to add to this list as well as equipment for the rec area, or whatever else you think BF3 will have to help increase comfort aboard the Moira.

To enhance your shopping experience, the technology here allows you to try on clothes without lifting a hand. The food here is an unlimited spread of gourmet dining to comfort food and every dessert you can think of. When you’re finished with your purchases, have all your packages and larger items delivered back to the ship for you.

TREAT YO SELF
The accommodations on the Collective of CLF5 are as unique as they come. Lodging is available for those who want to sleep in an environment that’s underwater or perhaps those who desire something as simple as a soft bed. No matter what kind of room you want to purchase for the night, it’ll be available here, and the only true limit is the imagination. When you aren’t relaxing in a hotel room, you’ll find that there are numerous spas and hair salons that offer varied services. Gold face masks rejuvenate your skin, the Ever Young™ Spa can make you look ten years younger with one treatment, and the mud baths are known across the universes for making you feel youthful and refreshed. If you’re looking for a new hairstyle or to relax, this Collective is the place for you to spend those hard-earned credits.

Yep. That too.

[More often than he'd like, but eh. It is what it is.]

Sadly, no. If anyone dropped a hidden treasure up here, someone else found it first. Maybe next time.

[ There are few stories left to be told in the Lands of Buried Time. No time for fantasies and fairytales when all you can do is survive sometimes. But what stories have been passed down from before the Immortal Cell's corruption are practical in nature; Always follow the Black Hound; Beware Judgement; Fear those with blue skin. Stories of shape shifters, if there ever were any, never survived to be told. ]

Changelings.

Is that what your species is called?


[ He assumes the other is referring to the portal through which he'd stumbled from Central Town to the Moira. Not unlike a warp pad, but he'd been unable to return for some reason. Drifter can only presume that a galaxy is like a country, or a world, but... ]

Different versions?

We're permitted our lightsabers and our robes.

[ What reticence he's had about discussing this with Leia seems to have fallen away, probably because he realizes there's little point in promoting traditions that are clearly falling by the wayside.

He shrugs lightly.
]

It's not something thoroughly observed, even in our time. Anakin and I have starfighters. Most of us do, actually. Even Master Yoda has a ship he calls his own. We skirt the concept of attachment by calling them tools, but it's still attachment if we call them our own.

Nevertheless, I find it easier to have less. [ An alarmingly common thought for Obi-Wan, but not lacking in its own wisdom. ] So, no, I haven't personally done any shopping.

If I actually meet any of my team here, I'll get back to you on if they would have warned me or not.

[You would think someone would make a psa about Tarn to those from different universe.]


Never heard of you or your division before. You must not exist back home.

[Are you really named after a city? Really?]

I've been here for less than a day and already I'm mingling with royalty. A princess! How fortuitious...and I might add, it is a distinct pleasure to encounter one with such taste in gowns.

[The blue offset the shade of her hair and eyes exquisitely!]

Well they do not glow where I come from, that could be the allure. [Definitely not a lure pun, not from Dorian, but he does mime her own hand, parroting the same action. Ah, the sangria in his blood made the fish positively surreal, it also kept him from registering his sea sickness, lovely drink.] Thedas? Oh no, the only desert I know of is in Orlais, there are tropical climates and frozen tundras, mires and plenty of wooded wilderness...cheerful place.

[The only ones that know his age are Hange and Erwin, because one asked and the other knows his history. But he didn't see the harm in telling her, age is just a number after all. Still he wonders if she will be shocked.]

34.

[ As a matter of fact, he is not meditating. With so many people around, he'd be lucky to accomplish such a thing, although it has less to do with the amount of people, and more to do with Obi-Wan's unbalanced state and continued nervousness over their peculiar directives during this journey.

Ava's appearance rings clear through the Force and he takes in a deep breath as if she might as well be cleansing the area around him. Her familiar presence puts him at ease and he wraps his essence around hers like a welcoming hug.
]

I've been... trying. [ A smirk. ] But not very hard.

[ Glancing in her direction, Kenobi offers a smile. ] You look pleased to be out and about. Have you been having a good time?

AFTER THE SHOWDOWN...

[personal profile] peridork 2016-06-05 08:40 pm (UTC)(link)
It isn't until there's a reasonable distance between the two parties that Peridot actually finally allows herself to relax. The tech casts one more cautionary glance over her shoulder, and then turns eyes forwards and lets out a wheezing sigh, like a defeated balloon.

A tense, awkward silence hangs in the air after that, as Peridot struggles to figure out where to pick up the conversation. She glances at Lapis, rubbing the back of her head like a nervous anime character. "Well that could have gone a lot worse, I guess," she groans, letting her shoulders sag.

C'mon, where's your sense of adventure!

[With a wry grin, he shrugs.]

I mean anything without roommates would be an improvement, but why not take advantage?

The tattered remains of the t-shirt earn little more than a supremely pleased grin from Sans.

"Uh huh. Sounds convincing. Sure you don't have ripping things on your mind, kid?"

It's not a bad philosophy, applied to things.

[She sits down beside him, drawing her knees up so she can rest her chin on them.

When applied to people, Leia's always going to find it horrible, especially when she considers what the Jedi did to Anakin. But things have comparatively limited value, and chasing after them got her into trouble last month. (She was chasing ghosts, too, and admittedly, she doesn't regret the moss painting now decorating her bunk, but it still wasn't exactly healthy.)]


But it's still difficult sometimes. [Lightly, ever lightly.] I'm guessing the challenge is part of the point.

I think half the crew feels that way, maybe more. Me, I can't imagine being stuck on one planet.

Um. How's that going?
taselikeabee: (34)

[personal profile] taselikeabee 2016-06-05 08:49 pm (UTC)(link)
I almost wish I could. 'Course I don't think his explanation would be any easier to understand.

[ ha ha. oh Wheeljack.

now there is a moment where Bee wants to ask what is up with Ratchet's wrist. did the medic lose a hand? had he been injured or did something else happen? before he can, Ratchet takes the lead in the conversation, directing it back to what Bee assumes is the reason for Ratchet's behavior. ]


Dealing with Shockwave, more or less. Megatron had just stopped himself from killing Galvatron.

[personal profile] thumbsdown 2016-06-05 08:51 pm (UTC)(link)
I'll keep it in mind.

[He grunts to himself, frowning.]

Thanks. More I know about this place, the better.

[If he's going to be stuck here, he'd at least like to know what to expect. He doesn't have to be happy about it, though.]
knaval: (receding)

[personal profile] knaval 2016-06-05 08:51 pm (UTC)(link)
[riptide immediately beams.]

Really! Dude, we have it on the ship! You should totally watch it with me and Tailgate sometime!

[personal profile] tearmeanewone 2016-06-05 08:52 pm (UTC)(link)
[Yes, she is.]

[Elizabeth looks up from her menu at him, her eyebrows raised. She hadn't expected there to be quite that much distance between them, and the length of her pause probably indicates as much.]


...still, being a captain at 34 is impressive, right?
needsnoface: (Default)

Are we really going to bring age into this?

[personal profile] needsnoface 2016-06-05 08:53 pm (UTC)(link)
[He's starting to understand just a little about what he evokes when he decides to slip into systems not his own when he had been back home. Doesn't make him feel any less put out by this, especially when the other speaks and confirms his suspicions.

Of course it's her, next he's going to see Dr. Halsey on the ship manifests, and just after they had gotten her tucked away back home.]


Well, the infamous Cortana. This just makes this even more of a surprise on us all. Oh, and this question may seem illogical, but...what year do you hail from?
sickbays: ᴅɴᴛ (chattahoochie)

beach.

[personal profile] sickbays 2016-06-05 08:54 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Leonard's had his fill of lounging by the end of the day. The beach itself he could never get tired of though. The view was absolutely stunning, especially with the sun setting off into the horizon.

He tosses a plain t-shirt on alongside his swim trunks when the temperature starts to dip, his feet carrying him over to the docks where he takes a boat out to see the bioluminescent fish in the planet's ocean. ]


Now ain't that a sight. [ He leans against the edge of the boat, staring down at the refractionally distorted lights from the fish below, his expression slack with awe. After a moment, he looks up and across at Lois. ]

I'm surprised they swim up this close.

[ As it stands, he hears Isha and finds the comment curious. It inspires some amusement in him, but not enough that he laughs. ]

Apparently, if you think so.

[ Obi-Wan doesn't honestly know what the appropriate level of boredom would be for the Collectives, but he imagines it would take a long time to get them naturally. Thankfully, he's quite good at arriving to such places by sheer force of will. ]

Is that bothersome? I hadn't thought I could be such an effective wet blanket.
taselikeabee: (15)

[personal profile] taselikeabee 2016-06-05 08:56 pm (UTC)(link)
I like seeing you freak out. Just a little.

[ grin. ]

And I don't know if it's so much as raising the dead as it is pulling someone from out of time.

"Oh ho, I see how it is." Sans winks, strategically leaning his body over the list, hand planted over the... admittedly meager list of names. "All that huffing and puffing and you're still curious."

He leans bag again, propping his feet up on the cardboard box.

"What if I said I was talkin' poultry here? Y'know, turkey, chicken, buffalo." Sans cocks an eyebrow. "Or do you got a moral opposition to turkey legs, too?"
taselikeabee: (45)

[personal profile] taselikeabee 2016-06-05 08:58 pm (UTC)(link)
Surprise?

[ no, really. what did you expect, Riptide? but Bee shakes it off and gives a little shrug. ]

Anyway, I don't think that's really necessary, do you?
taselikeabee: (5)

[personal profile] taselikeabee 2016-06-05 09:00 pm (UTC)(link)
You're very worked up. And no, I wouldn't be. I'd just be hacking the door or climbing into the ventilation system.

[ a shrug. he looks at the room he's supposed to be assigned and: ]

Are you sure this is your room?
