SHIP LIFE

"In nature, there are neither rewards nor punishments; there are consequences."

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 various machines line the walls on either side, though they are not accessible from where you stand. Shortly after, you are led out and toward the medbay.

Inside this room, you are given a physical scan and sign a contract 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.

MERO DECK ● NOMO DECK ● MORO DECK

☄ Due to the circumstances of Caducus Primary, the captains appear abnormally absent. Unlike before, they will not be seen or heard from after processing the newest members of the crew. They can still be contacted via their MID devices for emergencies only, but otherwise, they have retreated to their rooms and clearly do not want disturbed. They are displeased with the events and will be less accommodating in regards to resources and rank privileges. In fact, they may feel less like a privilege and more like a punishment.





☄DRUM THRUM THUD

Reverberations of what has happened to Caducus Primary are still being felt despite having left the chaos behind. After the initial influx of new crew, there seems to be the occasional flicker of the power all throughout the Moira—like a pulse, a breath. Do the shadows move, or is it just a trick of the light? Several hours pass, and a message flashes across all MIDs. It is labeled urgent and comes directly from Thán; however, any responses will be automatically rejected.

Our ship has sustained minor outer damage, and the systems are fluctuating as they reboot themselves individually. Take care of darker areas, and travel with other crew if you need to leave your room.

Crew safety is severely stressed this month, especially after what's occurred, and anyone in need of medical attention is to report to the Medbay posthaste. Yet, the crew may soon realize it's not only the power that appears to be having issues as the days progress in their travels.

☄IN THE FRIDGE

From the 3rd on, things start to grow a bit chilly. With current power issues, a problem that even those in areas responsible for its function cannot seem to solve, there has been a steady decline of less vital life support systems. It soon grows cold enough that sections of the ship that house any sort of water systems may find them slowly freezing over, and even showers don't seem as warm as they should be. ( Those in Mero Deck may find their communal bathroom a rink. ) In the mess hall, late in the evening after all shifts are finished, several pipes rupture and create particles of ice (snow) and a solid slippery sheet across the entirety of the floor. Melting it may be a temporary solution, but as there is no way to keep the water in its liquid form, it might be inadvisable to try more than once.

Other areas of the ship are also open to exploration, though they may be affected by the power and temperature changes as well. Please advise the captains' warning.

( ooc; For questions, go here. Please comment to activity check to receive new ranks (if applicable)! )

[Just because Elizabeth had nothing to go back to didn't mean she didn't understand everyone else's desire to get back to their interrupted lives. Eggsy had a family he was taking care of, that he's clearly worrying about now, and she can sympathize with that. She fishes around under the blanket for Eggsy's hand.]

Well, I'll tell you this right now, from experience: no little girl grew up doing everything her mother or father demonstrated. [She smiles encouragingly-- but really, she had picked up some of Booker's habits. Putting her nose where it didn't belong; racking up her own metaphysical debts; her lead trigger finger... So she did know that some of Eggsy's fears were well-founded, but he didn't need to hear that right now.]

Sometimes a little girl needs to be bothered to learn she can push back. And sometimes a woman needs to say 'no' for herself before someone else takes care of her. I'm sure they miss you, Eggsy, but they don't just miss you protecting them. They'll hold out for you to come home.

[Eggsy hopes that's true, and a part of him worries that it won't be. Michelle had qualities that Daisy would do well to have, Dean very little but he hadn't always been shit, but Eggsy really hoped Daisy grew up to be her own person. Someone that was well-rounded enough to know what she wants and not let anyone take it from her.]

Yeah, I know you're right, but it's hard to let that happen sometimes. Just wanna keep 'em safe, and show my sis that she can be happy and show my mum that she deserves better than Dean.

[Someone like his dad, who he remembers barely, but remembers enough to know that they loved each other very much.]

Hopefully she ain't grown too much when I get back. Might not be able to recognize her.

[He says it with a soft smile, fondly, because he loves her so much. Loves his mum, too.]

Enough about me though. Tell me 'bout yourself.

[tearmeanewone]

I know. [Elizabeth nods, looking down at the pillows and away from Eggsy for a moment.] You wonder what they're getting up to, if they're safe without you, if their lives are going the way you hoped they would... [The only difference is that Eggsy can't see it. Elizabeth could watch Booker and Anna, and hurt slowly with every moment they shared together. And now she has literally no idea, and she'll never know.] It'll happen. You'll find your way back to them somehow-- families always do.

[Watching Eggsy think about his family isn't as painful as Elizabeth thought it might be-- she can't help but smile herself, and feel happy that he has someone he wants to get back to and take care of. She could listen to him talk about Daisy and his mother all day.]

[But apparently that's not in the cards. There's caution in her eyes as she thinks about what to say.] I... don't think that's a story for trying to keep warm under blankets. [Where would she even begin?] Is your sister in school yet?

[commontype]

[Eggsy smiles at her, understanding in his eyes and a hint of sadness. He gets it, honestly, not everybody has a past they want to talk about. He could tell her about Daisy and the good times with his mum, his friends Ryan and Jamal, but there was stuff he's never told anyone. Maybe he'd never or just someday when he's ready.]

Nah, she's too small.

[They would talk about lighter things, easier stuff. She could share or not share whenever, Eggsy was really good at not prying. Never was the pushy sort.]

Another year or two, dependin' on how quick she starts learnin' on her own.

[tearmeanewone]

Oh I bet she'll be picking it up really quick with a brother like you. [Elizabeth grins. She's happy Eggsy seemed to cotton on quickly to avoiding her own story, but maybe she's also trying to silently ask him not to be sad for her. It's over, those chapters in her life, and she's starting fresh now. Friends, responsibilities, new places to see...]

I taught myself everything I know, too. Never went to school a day in my life, but I think I turned out fine. You just have to teach her to love reading.
