"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.

[Luckily for Miller, he does duck at the warning (still wearing his shameful attire but with his actual clothes bunched under his arm). Mama, though, Mama goes for it. With her puppies following like little ducklings. And like a true, obnoxious mother she gets in DDs way, standing with her chest out and ears up and tail high, right in his path, while one of her brood can grab the frisbee and generally fail to run with it because it's almost as big as it is.]
[Miller turns to go get the disk.] Mama, no. That's not yours. [He's scolding, but she has no intention to get out of the way and he has to go retrieve the toy from a little mouth who seems more interested in a tug fight than a game of fetch.]
[At least for the moment, Kaz seems to be feeling better. Certainly less spastic than he was when last seen.]
no subject
Miller. You're looking better.
[Ocelot approaches and stands next to DD, patting the dog on the head.]
no subject
[He's torn. He might have ended up safe that time. He's angry he wasn't believed. But a lot of people didn't believe him; he's been so sure, too. Why the growling? Why being thrown?]
[He is giving some credence to Liquid's theory; a haunting. Not the idea of a rational man, but considering he made sure that Skull Face died suffering and after having seen what he's seen here; there is potential to the idea.]
[Nothing he thinks he can discuss with Ocelot.]
Why did you call me Kaz? [A blunt question, only marginally related to the topic. He noticed. What changed enough that Ocelot referred to him as the name that identifies him as a human being and not just Snake's second.]
[He's ignoring Mama, who is inching her way forward toward's DD. Puts her face up next to his, in a standard sort of play posture. The puppies are old enough now she's not so worried about them, and the one that has the frisbee isn't being interfered with. Miller keeps an eye on her, anyway.]
no subject
At ease, DD.
[The command gives the dog permission to move, jumping back in a playful way and then going for the toy to run down the beach with it in a game of catch with Mama if she's willing.]
It's not the first time I've called you Kaz.
[But it's not common.]
I was trying to reassure you. Did you like that I called you Kaz?
[That last question was a little teasing.]
no subject
[Kaz is pretty sure she won't go far away. For a free-willed dog, she's still pretty attached to his side. So he turns back to Ocelot once they don't seem to be fighting.]
Doesn't matter much I guess.
Just was curious, is all. You really didn't see it, even after I was out? ...Not turned up since, anyway. Guess I should ask Rinzler.
[Kaz has started socializing but his socializing apparently leans towards people that hang out in vents and sulk.]
no subject
[He did search but couldn't find anything. Perhaps there was something there. Ocelot doesn't know, but he doesn't want to doubt Miller. This place does have the ability to have strange things around; it also has the ability to mess with their heads better than even Ocelot can.]
Can you tell me about it?
no subject
There's security footage, I think? Might be in there somewhere.
no subject
[What else could it be? He hasn't given in to the ghost theories yet.]
no subject
[Ghosts, he couldn't give too much credence to either. But he's still completely sure Cipher was involved, somehow.]
Still pretty sure of what I saw, though. Had the bruises to prove it. Damn thing nearly broke my ribs.
no subject
[He knows the reaction he's going to get for that question, but he still asks it.]
no subject
I'd know the difference.
no subject
[Miller is the only one that saw the thing, unless there are other witnesses he isn't aware of.]
no subject
[Sounds like he's having a great time still. And he huffs and crosses his arms.]
Big Boss looked at the security tape. It didn't show anything. Because all the footage between the thing grabbing me in the bed and you putting me under was replaced with another tape. The only evidence I got is the lack of evidence.
no subject
[It sounds suspicious enough to blame the people in charge.]
no subject
Could have been. Don't know why me, though. I never did anything wrong. [Not this time, anyway.]
no subject
[This might be the excuse they need to press the people in charge a bit.]
