"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.

[Some part of her wants to very frankly answer that no, actually, she hasn't been shopping the entire time, she's been stealing most of what she has now, yet she clips her comments this time. She'd rather hear of his reasonings, her joking would only deflect and redirect.
Not a good move right now.]
Mostly. I'm not going to deny what they give me, but there is something suspicious about simply giving an entire crew of mostly strangers unlimited funds. Perhaps all of this is already owned, and we're simply wasting nothing.
no subject
[ They don't get paid — not traditionally — after all, so something like that would certainly add to the sense of servitude that's already in place if they're all trapped until they pay off their debts.
It's a dark thought, he realizes, and one he hopes he doesn't inadvertently share a sense of. ]
I'm curious, though. Have you seen any of the hotel rooms in person? They appear clean in the brochures, but...
[ This is not a pickup line, I swear!! ]
no subject
No, I haven't. I've been taking advantage of this "free" business.
[That, and she's been entirely too paranoid to actually sleep. She's still trying to figure out how exactly she got here, and why her of all people. Isha struggles with acceptance and refusing to believe this is as real as it can get it.]
no subject
[ He figures they're all going to need to eventually sleep. And he'd rather go about it with company — a second set of eyes (or two) never hurts. ]
You could bring your companion.
no subject
[If this is as dangerous as he's making it sound, well... he might well worth be the attempt of a friendship, or at least a cordial acquaintance during this ordeal.]
no subject
[ Which is to say, he's somewhat unsettled for reasons well beyond those naturally perceived by most other people. Being sensitive to the Force also means being privy to information that's shockingly similar to other situations that have felt like this. Obi-Wan doesn't consider it unnecessary to mistrust this place just because it feels like a retreat. ]
Where are you from, Isha? Many here come from the planet Earth, I've noticed.
no subject
[She'll offer her own answer, after she gets her question answered first. First time differences, then planetary differences... Isha doesn't know what to expect next.
But, what she can say, is that this one's sensible. A British accent, so perhaps another from home? Two things to find a level of comfort in, at least. That, and a latent level of paranoia. Nothing wrong in understanding everything before taking action.]
no subject
[ He knows enough now to make a few leaps of logic, although he waits for her to fill in her own answers before solidifying them in his mind. ]
no subject
[Which means either he's from a completely different timeline or... string theory is really having a field day here. That sort of science isn't one she studied nor cared to understand in her life.
There may, in fact, be a twinge of regret in not at least reading about it.]
You're an ambassador, then? Politician?
[Her guess would be the former, he doesn't have the quite airs of the latter. She's dealt with too many, robbed them blind too.]
no subject
[ She has good instincts, at least. He wouldn't ever subject himself to politics willingly. ]
I'm a peacekeeper — and a member of an order that strives to help those in need.
[ It's no so simple as that, of course, but Kenobi finds it's always better to err on the side of caution. Just because he can lop off limbs in the name of galactic peace doesn't mean he particularly wants to lead with that. ]
no subject
Quite the suspicious sort for a peacekeeper. Well-travelled too.
[Not that she's in the loop of many charities, really. Most peace keepers do travel the world. Planets are... a bit out of her scope and depth.]
no subject
[ In fact, he's rarely wrong when it comes to matters requiring him to rely upon his instincts. ]
And after this, we may all be well-traveled.
no subject
[Only when it's convenient for her does she act as if she knows nothing...]
