"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.

[She'd done the same thing when she first arrived, explored the Moira from top to bottom. It's valuable to know where things are, and navigation is one of the best locations to have an eye towards. They might not have enough information on the journey to be satisfying, but at least they have some information to offer.]
I'm Leia Organa--let me know if you have any questions.
[She's halfway bracing herself for an as in Bail Organa?--but for all she knows, Togruta are sprinkled through other galaxies, just like humans. There's something vaguely familiar about this one, though, something she can't quite place.]
no subject
But as Leia speaks, she pauses, turning back to the woman with a puzzled look on her face.]
Did you say Organa? [Even if he wasn't a close associate to Senator Amidala, Bail was a pretty large voice in the Senate.]
I'm not crazy for asking if you know a Senator Bail Organa, am I? [because the people here had to be from all kinds worlds and universes, the chances they're from the same one-- it's all very unlikely. Right?]
no subject
You aren't crazy. He was my father. [Even knowing Anakin now, she can't downgrade Bail with a qualifier like my adoptive father. If her relationship to others aboard the Moira becomes relevant, she'll explain it then.]
This might sound like a strange question, but when were the Clone Wars for you? [Her guess is recently or they're still going on; the people she's met from her time or beyond it have recognized her name in itself.] It's the easiest way we have to tell how far apart we are in time.
no subject
Right. Alternate timelines. It was seriously something she was going to have to get used to.]
They're still going. It's getting close to three years in now. [And they seemed no closer to an end in sight.
But then what Leia says really clicks, and she skips back to that one little word that made all the difference.] -- Wait, did you say he was?
[well. that certainly answered her question on whether or not they were from the same time.]
no subject
[Ahsoka's not wrong--at least at her time--though whether she knows anything of their prior struggles for a child might be another matter entirely.
Leia's expression turns solemn as she nods.]
I'm sorry to be the bearer of bad news. [She's not sure how wise it would be to go into the details, and after last month, she's especially unsure she ought to dwell overly on the matter. There must be better things to speak of.] You don't happen to know an Anakin Skywalker, do you?
no subject
Wow. Okay. Was not expecting you to say that much. [okay. But she can put that aside, because there's more important things to discuss now.]
I'm sorry for your loss. He was a good man. [But then Leia says a key name and Ahsoka's face lights up.]
Yeah, of course I do! [REALLY THOUGH who didn't?? He was such a Big Deal™.] He's my Master-- Jedi Master, I mean. [She's not his slave! Just. Clarifying. And still not forgiving him for that ruse.] I know he's here too, I already saw him. Did you meet him here, or do you know him in your time?
[She's being generous and assuming he hasn't gotten himself killed in the next twenty years by being completely reckless.]
no subject
Better, she thinks, to speak of Anakin--not least because the girl is so enthusiastic about him.]
I met him here. [She turns in her seat to face the girl fully; that enthusiasm is catching.] I didn't know he had a--you're called padawans, right?
no subject
Have you been here long? Anakin said it's been three months for him. [She's still trying to wrap her mind around all of this, so better to ask and learn. She may not know Leia, but her presence is soothing, familiar. Enough so that she's willing to listen and trust what she has to say.]
no subject
[Ahsoka's clearly an important part of Anakin's life, from what she's said. Perhaps she's overstating things or adjusting the truth--but if she really is Anakin's padawan, it'd be impossible to overstate the importance, wouldn't it? Look at Anakin and Obi-Wan.]
We've had a lot to catch up on, though. Anakin and I arrived at the same time--it's been three months for me, too.
Here, why don't you sit down? [She gestures to another chair, giving Ahsoka a pleasant smile.] It sounds like you and I could stand to catch up, too.
