"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 laughs a little as she glances up and over at him, taking in his uniform and the wings. A single eyebrow quirks, and she's curious about them, but doesn't make any comment about them just yet. He seems like he needs to complain about the whole being pulled out into space thing, and she's pretty calm and casual about all of it. So she'll let him get his complaints off his chest.]
Is this your first one, then?
no subject
[ He wanted a chance to grab a go bag or something. Anything so he wasn't just flapping in the breeze with all of this. He takes a second to look over at Clara. He notes the look she gives him and he knows it's about what he's wearing and what's strapped to his back. He's just happy they're retracted for now. ]
Sort of. My first one that didn't involve a black bag.
no subject
So you're used to generic kidnappings, then. Thing is, getting kidnapped in space isn't all that different.
[Her eyes go back to his wings, and she can't keep from commenting on them.]
It looks like you can fly away, no matter where you wind up.
no subject
[ He gives her a side look which is pretty much the epitome of him checking her out. He's in space. He's not dead. ]
Believe it or not I can't breathe in space yet. It's still a hazard.
no subject
Yeah, but we're on a spaceship. You can fly in here, can't you? We're bound to land somewhere else eventually, too. Spaceships don't typically have the resources to stay in flight forever. So you should be preparing for what you'll do when we make a landing.
no subject
I don't think I really have enough room. People might get mad if a guy with mechanical wings starts mowing them down. [ She is right about the landing thing. ] There's still the minor issue of what if they don't touch down on Earth? Still can't fly home.
no subject
[She understands his desire to get back there eventually. She doesn't necessarily care one way or another if she does, but she can get why he would want to. Especially if this is his first time in space. So she thinks on it for a second, before reaching out to grab hold of his hand.]
Come with me.
[And with that, she hurries off, dragging him along with her toward the observation deck.]
no subject
[ At least the adventures he goes on with Steve end that way. Maybe he should expect other adventures won't go that way. ]
Whoa. [ He lets himself get dragged along though. Because she's nice and surprisingly stronger than he anticipated her being. ] Where are we going?
no subject
[She's excited to pull him along after her, pleased to be the leader that's getting to show someone else something lovely. She doesn't stop hurrying through the corridors of the ship until they're standing in the observation deck, with glass all around them, enabling them to look up and out at the stars up ahead.
Apparently, this is before they dock planet side.She drops her hold on his hand so she can stand behind him, placing her hands on his arms so she can move and position him for the best possible view. Once he's in place, she peeks around his side, reaching up to push up his chin with a single finger at a constellation overhead.]
We're in the process of docking at a planet you likely haven't ever heard of before. The stars here are formed in constellations people from Earth haven't ever seen. Even if there are bullets shot at you, getting to see wonders is worth it. It has been for me, in all the places I've been.
no subject
Sam lets her move him around like a human doll. He looks up when her chin directs him. He looks a little amazed because maybe this is sorta cool. He didn't really think much about this. Sam spends all his time in the sky, but he never really appreciated it. Even on night runs. It was mostly about not getting yourself killed and watching for the enemy. ]
Wow. Alright. [ He nods. ] You win. It's awesome. How'd you know about this?
