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.

YAY

[hellsbel]

[it's already cleanup time, and there's a whole stack of trays to set down, carefully so nothing stains the crewman's loose papers. there's an easy confidence about his movements and expression that Bel finds immediately appealing; it's rarer than it should be to see people comfortable in their own skin.]

No, it's fine-- [smiles, resting one foot on a bench; happy to say hi and meet someone new, if this fellow's up for a moment's break from whatever all those notes are.] That's right. Still getting adjusted. Have you been here long?

\o/

[heliakal]

[ He sets everything aside for now and smiles in return, easy and friendly as ever. ]

Relatively, I guess. It's been a few months now. I'm Clark Kent. [ He holds out a hand, waiting for the other crew member's name before he continues. ]

Seems like you're adjusting faster than most people. I take it this isn't your first rodeo -- er, space ship?

[hellsbel]

My condolences. [grins, meeting the hand with a somewhat smaller one.~] Bel Thorne. It's a pleasure.

I command a military light cruiser back home. Crew of twenty. [shrug, smile goes a little sad and flat] Mess hall is mess hall. But this is my first mass kidnapping.

[heliakal]

[ Clark laughs. When he shakes Bel's hand, his grip is firm. ] Likewise, Ms. Thorne.

You mean getting shanghaied in space isn't a regular Tuesday for you? [ He gives Bel a wry smile. ] This must frustrating... but I hope you don't mind me saying it's nice to have someone with experience on board.

[hellsbel]

[also a hearty grip] Just 'Bel' is fine. I'm a Betan genetic. [which... would make everything clear if the man's ever heard of Beta Colony. not an issue, though; Bel's used to explaining, and the response is often enlightening.] Man and woman at the same time.

Most of the time we're supposed to do the shanghaiing. [wicked smirk; the one time it had gone the other way around was... memorable.] I'll bring whatever I can to the table. What do they have you doing?

[heliakal]

I apologize - I shouldn't have assumed. [ It's genuinely meant. Just because he's accustomed to making certain assumptions doesn't mean that he should continue. Being both male and female at the same time isn't an unusual concept even on Earth - rare, maybe, but no more so than he is. ]

Ah, so it's really just a taste of your own medicine. [ He grins, matching Bel. ]

Me? I do the gardening. Not much call for a journalist on a ship like this. [ He shrugs. ] Granted, it doesn't stop me from collecting stories. Got any interesting ones you can share?
