"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.

A
[Genos is still in an apron, still carrying a box full of notebooks and a briefcase, but he seems to be resigned to the situation more than before. His eyes dart to the cylinder, clearly whirring with scanners and information as the cyborg tries to assess what it is Tony's brought with him. He's still markedly robotic, despite the cutesy domesticity of his outfit at the moment.]
However, I will require you to hold my belongings in the meantime. The briefcase containing ARMSMODE may be heavy, but it should not be impossible to carry as it has a handle and you do not appear physically frail.
no subject
Yeah, sure. [ Almost absent-mindedly, as he's busy scrutinizing. As for the pod, depending on what Genos can detect, it's very clearly android-like in composition and houses an AI of its down, though it's currently running solely on emergency backup power, evidently cut off from its primary power source. ]
Actually, no, hang on — you're not somebody's robot butler carrying around a suitcase full of guns, are you? I mean, I'll probably still carry it, but I gotta know.
no subject
I'm not a robot nor am I a butler. I am Genos, a Cyborg for Justice, and this briefcase contains a sophisticated weaponry system currently dubbed "ARMSMODE", created by the genius scientist Dr. Kuseno. The ARMSMODE was created for my use in combat, so that I may further my quest to destroy the Mad Cyborg.
no subject
Whoa, so.
I was totally right about the suitcase full of guns.
no subject
no subject
You are a treasure ]
Good to know. If I ever face a robotic menace, I'll know what to do. [ HA HA HA ] In the meantime, sure, I'll carry your suitcase full of flamethrowers. Give it here.
no subject
[He'll pass the briefcase, and it's indeed heavy as hell. It's also securely locked with a numeral code. Genos also passes over the box of notebooks.]
These are notes of my sensei. Do not lose them, especially, they are extremely important.
[But he'll turn to the cylinder and heft it up with relative ease, at least compared to Tony.]
Where is this going?
no subject
I've got a- thing. Just set it down. I'll pick it up.
[ And he will, for both the briefcase and the notes, and only makes a vague grunt at the weight. He mutters something under his breath about 'lightweight' alloys and 'cyborg super strength' before acknowledging the question. ]
You know where NOMO #001 is, by any chance?
no subject
[He'll start walking anyway, though, looking around for instructions or maps.]
I believe living quarters were pointed out to be in this direction.
no subject
[ He follows down the corridor, but not without shooting Genos more than a few incredulous glances ]
—Does that thing seriously weigh nothing to you?
no subject
no subject
[ As they make their way down the corridor, room numbers (mercifully) growing smaller, some of his apparently offense seems to slip away. Look, he can't compete with some buff cyborg guy anyway. It's way more productive to just be fascinated. ]
Out of curiosity, you need to charge that 'core' of yours, or is it self-sustaining?
no subject
However, Dr. Kuseno had emphasis on me retaining enough normal human habits, so I can also burn food as biofuel. He wanted me to live as normally as possible. He really is an amazing man.
[One of the two people Genos cares about the most!]
no subject
Your Dr. Kuseno isn't here by any chance, is he? It sounds to me like he's the kind of guy I'd like to have a really long, informative coffee date with.
no subject
no subject
Second implication: his being here would be directly contradictory to "staying out of harm's way."
Interesting. Foreboding. ]
So what's your plan if you do get badly damaged while you're here?
no subject
[He reaaaaaally doesn't look thrilled about the idea of letting someone else repair him...]
no subject
What? You can do that?
no subject
no subject
Well, tell you what. In exchange for lugging my junk around for me, if you ever need a bolt tightened on your back or something, I don't mind volunteering my services. I'm kinda good with this sort of thing, as it happens.
no subject
If you tell me what this android-like device and AI are, and what their intended purpose is. You built this, I'm assuming?
no subject
[ Don't glare at him he's helping!!!!! ]
If you must know, it's an advanced prosthesis. Armor. Kind of got a superheroing gig back home.
no subject
Have you heard of a cyborg that rampaged through a town and murdered all of its residents?
no subject
Uh.
Not lately? Or ever. Hopefully.
no subject
[There is a massive chip on his shoulder, can you see it?]
I will destroy it without mercy.
