"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.

Of course, she's quickly realizing that there's no fun in getting whatever you want without question. Plus, she knows there's only so much space around her bunk back on the Moira. Eventually she wanders past the snowglobes, designer sunglasses and flip flops and finds herself at some games instead.
It would be nothing to win any of them. The headset permanently attached around her skull gave her everything she needed to land every throw, every shot, every dart necessary. It almost feels unfair until she remembers that she could probably just bribe the game's attendant to give her one of the prizes if she wanted to. So, she takes a seat. Why not?
As she's gazing up at the choice of prizes and waiting it to start, she hears a man's voice. Her head swivels to look at him, the movement vaguely unnatural and robotic.]
Huh? Oh... you mean all those soft toys? [she looks up at them again.] I'm not much into dollies, but I suppose I like that bunnit one. The white one?
no subject
You mean that bunny over there?
[
Tohru Adachi, professional mansplainer.He's not entirely sure what possesses him to say it, but - ]I can try and win it for you, if you want.
[ - there he goes.]
no subject
Well. He's got the guts to even ask, so that's something. Nobody's done anything close to flirt with her since she got turned into a Face Unit. There was Shulk, but... nothing he does really counts as "flirting."
Grinning, Fiora crosses her arms and leans back on the stool slightly.]
...Alright, why not? Show me your skills.
no subject
Oh man. Oh man, this is actually happening. He's gonna try and win a prize for a girl he barely knows. He didn't think this sort of thing actually did happen to people in real life. If you could even call this something remotely close to that. And it's moments like these that remind Adachi that he actually does have a heart somewhere in that twisted black pit because he can feel it start to hammer against his ribcage.]
Right. Just sit back and watch, then.
[Calm down. Let's not get too ahead of ourselves here. You still need to actually win the game, so don't screw this up.
The man behind the counter signals that it's just about time for this next round to begin, once everyone else around the pair has been seated. Adachi takes his attention away from the girl on her perch right next to him, raises the water gun and lines up the target in his sights.
"3... 2... 1..."
Don't screw this up.
"Go!"]
no subject
However, that's quickly proven to be at least a little wrong. He's not doing half bad for a regular human relying on his natural-born organic senses. His balloon quickly grows to twice the size of the others and pops spectacularly, lighting up the multicolored bulbs lining his lane.
Grinning, Fiora sits up straight again and claps.] Hah, you did it!
no subject
See? What'd I tell you?
[Of course he did it. Was there ever room for any doubt to begin with? Before Adachi can clap himself on the back too hard, the man operating the booth snaps him out of his reverie, asking him to take his pick. Without hesitation, Adachi points to the stuffed rabbit that had caught Fiora's attention and the man behind the counter complies. He hands it off to the detective, who then offers it to Fiora with a bashful smile.]
Here you go!
no subject
What's more interesting is the goofy guy who declared he'd get it for her. He seems nice enough. He's goofy, but it's endearing. Shulk is the same way - not some hypermasculine meathead like the rest of the Defense Force lugs.]
Thanks. That was some pretty good shooting, actually.
