"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.

'spensive tastes!
Y'know. Atmosphere. This place didn't even have stains in the booths. How else were you going to play name that shape?
Unfortunately, when it came to this particular Collective, classy was the order of the day. And Sans, looking almost comically out of place in an unwashed hoodie and socked feet (with accompanying sandals), stuck out like a sore thumb.
Or maybe that's because he's a skeleton. Hard to say.]
... Huh. [Sans takes it, brow bone furrowed thoughtfully down at the clear liquor. He doesn't recognize the face and is well on his way to assuming the man is just another unaffiliated vacationer until he mentions abductors. No confusing that sentiment.] That's real sweet of you, thanks, pal. What's the occasion?
[Because right now Sans is caught between this guy's already drunk and hiding it well and am I getting picked up?.]
no subject
Try not to take it personally if he's openly staring, but - he's openly staring. ]
Day of the dead, apparently.
no subject
[Still, Sans wastes no time tipping back the drink. If a small damp spot appears on the front of his shirt, well. Bar for the course.]
Moira crew, right?
no subject
I know. It's one of my three good qualities.
[ The skeleton is drinking. He's talking to a skeleton. He's talking to a skeleton. ]
What gave me away? The designer wristband or the extravagant display of wealth? Not gonna lie, I was hoping I came off as a fantastically philanthropic billionaire. [ Imagine. ]
[ But more importantly: he's talking to a goddamned skeleton ]
no subject
And more bones, but clearly Tony is 100% used to those.]
It looks like you've got them convinced. [He points in the vague direction of Tony's impromptu harem.] You look like you're right in your element, pal. Accustomed to throwing this kind of cash around?
no subject
What the fuck. ]
You say that, but maybe I'm just naturally charismatic and good at working with unforeseen and impossible circumstances, like credit cards with no credit limit. [ And skELETONS ]
no subject
[And there will probably be a verse about this alcohol, because it's pretty damn good. Sans polishes off the glass, feeling warm at the back of his spine. Fast-acting, too. Nice.]
I figure I'd warn you now, though, the bar back on the ship's a little less... [He spies a woman lean forward over the bar, vying for Tony's attention.] Friendly.
no subject
[ His eyes find the woman at the same time, small smirk falling into place. He leans over to whisper something in her ear, passes her another of the drinks the bartender keeps topping off, and then turns back to Sans. He's not taking the bait. ]
Sure, but how's the booze? I like to keep a handle on my priorities.
[ Speaking of, he holds his hand out for Sans' now empty-glass, apparently for the purposes of having it refilled. ]
no subject
You sure know how to keep a guy talking.
[Wearing a perpetual grin is a decent way to cloud a guy's motives, but nevertheless Sans appears genuinely entertained by the guy. Not to mention pleased at the arrival of a second drink.]
Booze is passing. Ketchup's great. Highly recommend their Heinz vintage. [He leans forward conspiratorially, jaw wobbling a little more now that the booze is staring to make its influence inescapable.] They leave it under the counter for a few days until it gets really vinegary. It's awesome.
no subject
You're breaking my heart here, Beetlejuice.
[ He leans forward himself, waggling his crew-issued credit card pointedly ]
Listen, if we need to stock up, now's the time. Come clean. How dire is it?
no subject
[He grins wider, flipping out his own credit card.]
First to blackout wins? [A beat.] ... Or loses. I mean, life's what you make of it.
no subject
Whoa, c'mon, you don't even have internal organs. Can you even get drunk? I feel like I'm being set up to fail, here.
no subject
You want me to prove it? 'Cuz as far as I see it, I've got a head start, buddy o' mine.
