"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.

So when she's given sugar cubes, she readily offers them to the horse, but looks over at its owner with a bright smile. He's most definitely charming, with the accent and the bowing. The promise of a horseback ride on the beach helps, too.]
What will you call him when he winds up eating too much sugar? Not Gigantic Ninny, I hope.
[Only teasing, she laughs a little, and brings her free hand up to pet at Fat Ninny's neck. She loves getting to be around animals, and doesn't get to do it often enough.]
no subject
How d'you think he got to be this fat? [ it's a wry, teasing remark, and miles nudges at fat ninny as if sharing some private joke. the horse rolls his head a little, but it's mostly to lean into clara's hand. miles wraps the reins loosely around his hand and holds them up. ] Have you ever ridden before? I'm Miles, by the way.
no subject
[So it's a fond spot, getting to do it again here. She pats Fat Ninny's neck a bit more, before her hand reaches upward toward his ears and mane. She has to rise up on her tiptoes to get all the way up, but she manages well enough.
Her eyes don't look away from Miles for too long, though, and all too soon she's pulling away from the horse so she can face him fully once again.]
My name's Clara. Lovely to meet you, Miles. Do you and Fat Ninny live here, or are you from the Moira too?
no subject
[ miles is usually halfway to vibrating out of the visible light spectrum on a good day, but with fat ninny around he's unusually calm. and thoroughly pleased at the reception his horse is getting. good, fat ninny deserves all this good attention. ]
Oh, yes, we're up on the Moira. Fat Ninny usually lives in the garden, so I thought I'd take him out for some air. [ he looks clara over briefly. ] It's a please to meet you, too, Clara. Did you come in the last wave? I must not have gotten to your personnel file yet.
no subject
[Which is good to know, except -
She glances over at Miles, looking a little concerned.]
My personnel file, though. What sort of information about me are you going to have access to?
no subject
[ that's not strictly true, miles is sort of keeping dossiers on a few people on the ship, but mostly there's little to add to most of the crew's personnel files. ]
no subject
[She blurts it out with a sense of excitement. She's been looking for someone to help her with such things, and the fact she may be standing right next to someone who can puts a big smile on her face. She doesn't care what sort of notes he may have on her, just as long as he can help her change what things she wants to switch about.]
Suppose we could talk about that after riding, though.
[She motions for him to get back up on the horse, and follows him on up right after. She may be a little too bossy for her own good.]
no subject
[ he wasn't expecting her to want to ride along with him, especially if she's got experience with horses, but he can't find any reason to object. fat ninny doesn't bat an eye at the extra passenger now that miles is secure in the saddle, and his little master gently shakes out the reins and nudges him into a lazy but steady trot with hardly any urging. fat ninny was trained for dressage, and very well-trained, at that. ]
So, Clara -- where's home for you? Earth?
[ a little small talk never hurt anyone, and miles's curiosity is genuine. earth seems to be a good bet with most humans on the ship, although he does find it a little odd that there's such a high concentration of people from the 20th and 21st centuries. ]
no subject
[She doesn't consider the TARDIS home, of course, but she also feels less and less attached to staying on Earth full time. She wants to have a life there, of course, so she can control when and how the Doctor sees her. But she's been to so many places she feels like a part of her belongs scattered about. Life a leaf on the wind, one that she's not sure will ever land.
So when she scoots a bit closer to him and places her hand on his back to steady herself, she gives a soft chuckle.]
It's not as impressive as space. Or being here.
no subject
[ his covert ops career definitely counts as ship duty, considering he commands a whole damn fleet. ]
But Earth's not bad, either. England, eh? I was just in London not too long before coming here. Er -- mind if I ask what year?
