"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.

Tailgate has to remind himself that he voted for Fool's Energon, and that he had been entirely in favour of having Tarn strung up with his limbs and t-cog removed. It felt easier to want these things when Tarn is not around.]
Riptide came back to life, so what you did had no lasting consequences, besides him being upset about it. There are a lot more of us on the ship now, and I think some of them want to pick a fight with you.
Aside from that, not a lot has happened recently.
no subject
[Tarn wavers in place ever so slightly before he crosses his arms, leaning against a wall to look down at Tailgate.]
They can try to fight me if they desire it, but Fools Energon, or not, they will fail.
[He seems to think that he can win in a fight but honestly the state of him at this exact moment seems to suggest otherwise. There's a lot of macho posturing happening on his part.]
no subject
[Not that he's judging or anything!!!1!]
Is it... too much to ask to not kill anyone who does try to fight you? You'll just end up in jail again, and your sentence will probably be worse next time.
no subject
Do you honestly expect me to meekly lay back and accept being assaulted? I'm a proud Decepticon, Tailgate, I will defend myself to the very end. If they worsen my sentence, then so be it. I will at least know that I've done right by myself and not sunken into cowardice.
no subject
If... If you want, we can exchange favours? I'll do anything you want if you leave at least one person alone. Before you laugh at me, I will say that I'm way stronger than I look.
[Tailgate knows he's playing a dangerous game here, and that he really should have just minded his own business. Let Megatron handle Tarn and do his own thing, but he can't help but feel as though Tarn is a part of his business. What was Tarn to him anyway? A mentor? A superior?
This is confusing.]
no subject
[The gears start turning. The wildly cunning and manipulative half of Tarn begins to concoct the first threads of a scheme. If he can somehow antagonize the Autobots enough to get them to actually attack him without lifting a finger, he may just be able to earn the sympathy of the rest of the crew with a little bit of gentle convincing. After that, it should be simple enough to turn the rest of the crew against them.
And once the Autobots are out of the way, it will be easy enough to address the organics.]
What do mean 'you're stronger than you look?' Is there something that you've neglected to tell me?
no subject
I guess it didn't really come up! But it's a pretty recent thing, so I guess that'd be why I forgot about it.
Anyway...
[Proudly, he walks over and firmly grabs Tarn's leg with his tiny minicon hands, and, with no effort at all, he lifts Tarn clean off the ground. He doesn't lift him too high, because he didn't want to smash Tarn's head against the ceiling. That'd be rude and inconsiderate!]
I'm also indestructible! Nothing can hurt me, not even if they tried really hard.
[Not wanting to upset Tarn, Tailgate gently places him back on the ground.]
Pretty cool, huh?
no subject
Wha-- Tailgate--!
[He's downright shocked by what Tailgate is telling him. Indestructible? Super strength? He has to brace himself on the top of the minicon's flat head to keep himself from pitching forward.]
You're an Outlier? When? How?
[He supposes that it doesn't truly matter. Finally a bit of good news for the Decepticons on board the Moira.]
no subject
I went into cyro a few days after you made me a Decepticon, and when I came out, I had different memories and new powers. I think Velocity said I was a new kind of outlier, but I wasn't listening too closely. It's been kinda disappointing actually, I don't have anything to use my super cool new powers on, so I've been keeping them to myself.
Though if I'm honest, I did considering punching you for what you did to Riptide, but I realized that that wouldn't solve anything. I think we're better off this way.
[Tailgate has not yet reached the realization that, currently, he's the strongest Decepticon on the ship. How about that?]
