"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.

Well, if they’re giving us “unlimited” money to spend, I don’t think the captains are worried about dealing with it either. At least this planet doesn’t seem to sell weapons. [The last thing they need is for those “shady” characters Nihlus had mentioned arming themselves to the teeth.]

I was thinking of using it for research. It’s pretty far ahead of what we have at home in terms of tech -- I thought I might as well take a chance to see if I can learn anything I can take back. [And if he can take back the computer itself as well, all the better. He gives the turian a rueful smile.] If I buy it, I mean.

[For a split second, Cyclonus's face twitches before smoothing out again.]

This is an apologetic gift, not a romantic one.

[But he crouches down slowly, looking stiff to get a better look at the devices, occasionally picking one up deliacately to examine its specifications.]

Wait, Megatron’s on it too? [...Does that mean the one thing standing between them and another organic extinctionist is some weird robot sedative?] Was he as bad as Tarn before he started taking it?

"Yes, and I'm sure that's what your predecessor said," she says, huffing. "No, darling, however I'm starting to wonder if that's just been an exceptional straight of good luck."

A pause, then she perks up.

"Oh, there was some trash talking on the network, but as far as I'm aware it was disappointingly restrained."

"I'll remember that when I get in trouble for not showing up for work today."

...Another thing meant to stay in his head. He lets his exceedingly large head drop against Ratchet's shoulder.

"You not having any? That's unlike you."
knaval: (no-one waving)

[personal profile] knaval 2016-06-29 05:15 pm (UTC)(link)
Mine's about three cubes then.

[said with a triumphant nod.]

Good. I mean, not good, but-- you know what I mean.
knaval: (receding)

[personal profile] knaval 2016-06-29 05:24 pm (UTC)(link)
[fortunately (?) for alpyhs, riptide is blissfully unaware of her dislike.]

Don't I? Good picture, really. I think that's the first selfie I've taken here too, which is... man, I need to up my game. I can't count the one inside the whale, that was an accident.

[...]

Wait did you just say humans trapped you??
knaval: (no-one waving)

[personal profile] knaval 2016-06-29 05:27 pm (UTC)(link)
I also have no idea what a bowline is.

[riptide shrugs, then transforms into his alt mode, falling into the water with a sizeable splash.]

You know what to do now, right?
squadgoals: (can I just buy a can of tupari now or)

[personal profile] squadgoals 2016-06-29 06:09 pm (UTC)(link)
A boat that doesn't know a bowline knot? Now I've really seen everything.

[She wades out into the water, already considerably soaked from the alt mode transformation splash, and starts tying off a loop of rope for the hold. Finished, she gives it a tug, and a nod. Good enough to grip. Rope in hand, she perches between the bindings of the wakeboard, and cracks her neck reflexively.]

You'll have to take us a little bit deeper before I can strap in — otherwise you'll just be dragging me on my stomach through the shallows.
knaval: (for me)

[personal profile] knaval 2016-06-29 08:02 pm (UTC)(link)
I-- oh. Yeah. Sorry.

[hawkwarrrd...]
knaval: (on that long ride)

[personal profile] knaval 2016-06-29 08:04 pm (UTC)(link)
[riptide rolls over onto his back, looking up at the sky.]

Megatron made Tarn what he is, so yeah. He was.
knaval: (receding)

[personal profile] knaval 2016-06-29 08:14 pm (UTC)(link)
[riptide stays where he is, bobbing slightly.]

Get up on, then. I'm not gonna set off immediately.
squadgoals: (that's not how mass effect fields WORK)

[personal profile] squadgoals 2016-06-29 09:00 pm (UTC)(link)
[It's a bit of the same as Sideswipe. Where to put hands? How do you climb a living boat?

Carefully. She shrugs, and clambers up, wakeboard under one arm, loose rope in the other.]


Let me know if I put my hands or feet anywhere painful.
knaval: (no-one waving)

[personal profile] knaval 2016-06-29 10:27 pm (UTC)(link)
Pff. Impossible.

[LITERALLY.]

Just let me know when you're secure. I only have two eyes.
squadgoals: (did I feed those stupid fish)

[personal profile] squadgoals 2016-06-30 06:25 am (UTC)(link)
[After a moment of consideration, she picks out a spot that looks like she wouldn't immediately fly off the back, and hunkers down in it.]

Right. And where are they, out of curiosity?
backsassin: by <user name = sousaphone> (keep them awake)

[personal profile] backsassin 2016-06-30 11:40 am (UTC)(link)
[Zam sighs.]

In that case, please tell me he’s still taking it. I don’t want him to wake up tomorrow and think maybe Tarn’s got a point.
sickbays: ᴅɴᴛ (don't let me down)

[personal profile] sickbays 2016-06-30 04:43 pm (UTC)(link)
Sounds more like a prison sentence than a marriage. [ Not that he has a whole lot of room to talk, given how horribly his own marriage ended. It hadn't always been that way, though. There was a time when he was happy, in love, trying to do whatever he could to make a better life for his family. ]

Don't abuse it. [ He warns, his tone uncharacteristically light, teasing like the expression that flits across his face. A smile tugging at the corner of his lips again, not breaking out but there just long enough for someone to blink and miss it. ]

Now you're jus' pullin' my leg. [ Demons coming out of holes in the sky? He can barely fathom such an image. He tries to, though, at least for a moment, his expression shifting to one of consideration. ] I thought demons'd crawl out of the ground, not fall from the sky.
tsunclonus: (handsome cyclonus)

[personal profile] tsunclonus 2016-06-30 06:05 pm (UTC)(link)
You have nothing to apologize for.

[It's a good thing Cyclonus's can reach a lot of shelves from where he is, because every time he gets up from a crouch he needs Riptide's assistance. So embarrassing.

Size may not be so much of an issue though, given that some of these models have scalable holographic displays and controls.]
allyisun: (lipstick time)

[personal profile] allyisun 2016-06-30 06:24 pm (UTC)(link)
Then you just gotta keep yourself in the zone! Getting a little too drunk, ease up a bit. Too sober, have a few sips. It's basically an art form.

[She is totally an artist. Of drinking booze.]

No more dead people is good. And I'm glad you're not dead either, you giant metal butthead.

[She rolls over to hug his knee a little.]
knaval: (all the faces)

[personal profile] knaval 2016-06-30 07:55 pm (UTC)(link)
...Uhh... in my hull. I think.

[he starts very gently drifting himself further out.]

It's probably kind of horrifying to organics, but our heads basically split up when we transform.
knaval: (just the shoreline)

[personal profile] knaval 2016-06-30 08:02 pm (UTC)(link)
I... don't know if he is. He beat Tarn and it's supposed to weaken him, but Megatron is known for being notoriously against the grain.

[he shrugs.]

At least we have Ratchet here now. He can make more, if anything.
liberaltus: (pic#10264364)

[personal profile] liberaltus 2016-06-30 08:18 pm (UTC)(link)
That is putting it elegantly. [Marriage never made his parents very happy, in spite of all of the affection Dorian received as a child. He supposed that was the one thing that distracted his parents from one another, brought them together without bringing them together, their mutual interest in Dorian.]

That makes it all the more tempting. Like poking a sleeping dragon with a stick. [Dorian did return that little quirk with a full blown smile of his own, idly wondering what it would take to put a full, more lingering smile on Leonard's lips.]

Quite the contrary, unless you like that sort of thing of course. [Dorian laughs softly at his turn of phrase, he amuses himself, really.] There are a number of things I could kid you about, but Demons from the sky? Not one of them. Nor would I kid about how fetching your eyes are.

[What? He has a thing for sympathetic eyes.]
