"Follow, and the universe will open where there was once walls."

With the Collectives now behind them, the atmosphere of the Moira seems to have subsided into the general daily grind of ship living. Shifts pass, meals are served, and the occasional tiff continues to hum in the background. However, whether new or veteran, today is not like any other day the crew have seen or experienced so far. The thrum of the ship is a normal one. Those aboard feel it, know it. In fact, whether you realize it or not, the pulse of the engine, its wings, and that of the Ingress is a constant, consistent buzz in the back of your mind and under your feet. Even during planet excursions, it’s almost like a pull to draw you back to the ship and ground you to the present moment. It’s familiar.

It’s late, in the early hours of twilight, that everything begins to feel off. The Moira suddenly begins to drift, tipping gently to one side and resulting in everything on board beginning to roll and tip over. So those in their beds may abruptly find themselves thrown onto the floor. Those walking from a shift back to their rooms or elsewhere on the ship will likely be thrown against a wall. The movement is drastic, but the ship’s systems realign the Moira within several minutes of the event. Anyone near the Ingress room will hear the Captains arguing with one another, and those that go closer will see that Captain Manessah is standing in the middle of a non-functioning Ingress.

It’s off, with no swirling light, and they can’t seem to get it to come back on. It’s clear to anyone that comes by that the Captains are worried, bordering on frightened by the fact that it doesn’t seem to want to restart itself—if that was even a possibility of the Ingress at all. They begin to disagree with each other on the best way to fix it, their spoken language changing to something that the MID can’t translate. Captain Thán exits the room in a rush, not stopping to speak to anyone, and the other two continue to try and find a solution to this problem. Not long after, they send out a ship-wide message informing crew that they are relieved of their duties for the rest of the week except for basic cleaning and cooking. Any personnel with experience in technology and matters relating to the Ingress are asked to come to the Ingress room.




Turn It Off, Turn It On
Anyone who comes to the Ingress room will be asked to clean, repair, and examine the Ingress. The Captains don’t say why it’s urgent that it be fixed, but it’s obvious that they want it to be done immediately. Crew members can assist one another in taking the coolant systems apart to maintenance them or to suggest ways to fix the machine. After a few hours of steady work, that familiar thrum will be felt under everyone’s feet and the Ingress machine will power back on. However, both the Captains and the crew will notice one startlingly obvious difference: the moving blue light and energy has darkened around the edges. There appears to be a person standing just on either side but can’t come through. The shadow remains there no matter what anyone does, and the colors flicker and alter depending upon which crew member is the closest.

And like most things, they always come in pairs. Later that evening, a broadcast is received via Navigation that’s translated across the entirety of the Moira, both over an intercom and over the MID. While it is received as a text, a nondescript voice announces it promptly:
Greetings. We are sending this as a formality on behalf of our sister, Caducus Primary and its survivors. In accordance with our beliefs, the travesty that has occurred in the past must be made equal. That equality means lives given for those taken. While terms are unlikely to be made and agreed upon, they will be heard. A decision to flee will be seen as an act of guilt and cowardice. This is the only warning that will be made. You will be given time to prepare for our approach, People of the Vessel Moira.

With this message received, Navigation also informs the Captains, who then relay to the crew, that a ship bound from Caducus Secondary are within range and have made it clear they are here to settle a “debt” by attacking. Members of the crew are being divided into randomly assigned teams - which can be found temporarily listed in the MID under the directory - and encouraged to discuss plans to help prevent and preserve the lives of those aboard. Reporting these ideas will be the responsibility of elected team leaders, and a final decision will be made shortly thereafter by the Captains.

[An eyebrow arches at that tone, but she's heard something much sharper come out of the Doctor on enough occasions that she handles it without really thinking much on it. She figures now might be a good time to discuss the fact that she's already spoken about possible transports out of here for escape and who would decide who stays and who goes, but she doesn't mention it. If he has a brother here, he's too emotionally connected to the subject to think in terms of rationality. She can't blame him for that. If the Doctor or her father were here, she'd be the same way.]

You say that I have power here now like I haven't been here only a handful of weeks.

[She's hardly been here at all, really, and actually still doesn't know so very much about the ship or the people on it. She's still researching, still learning, but she understands that this position grants her influence and power she otherwise may not have had.]

If things go wrong, I'm already making preparations. Consider there a place for you and your brother. You should probably let me know who he is, though, if you're keen on my saving him.

[personal profile] skelepun 2016-06-27 08:47 am (UTC)(link)
You say that, but you're the one with the title of team leader. Don't think it's nothing. [His smile widens. He somehow doubts she needs that particular reassurance, protests aside.] And thanks. If it comes down to the two of us, don't worry about me. As long as he's got a place outta here if the shit goes down, I'm happy.

[A beat and another shrug:] And hey, it's just an 'if,' right? So how 'bout those names?
bosswald: (worryface)

[personal profile] bosswald 2016-06-27 08:55 am (UTC)(link)
Thing is, I'm already making preparations for him, you, and everyone else on this ship. It doesn't have to be part of a deal. I'm doing it regardless of what you agree to do for me.

[She figures revealing that to him won't hurt the intimidating image she's just established for herself too much. She can be intense, but her determination to save everyone is what's driving her here. So of course she's planning to try and arrange an escape if things go poorly. She also doesn't reveal that her plans don't include the captains, because common sense says they have to go down with the ship, right?]

Help me carry these to my room. [She crouches down to try and pick up some of the books that were dropped.] I'll tell you there, in private.
skelepun: ([sans] 69)

[personal profile] skelepun 2016-06-27 09:05 am (UTC)(link)
That's fine by me. Hell, that's better. Ideally, it won't even matter, will it?

[And it's true. He has no real interest in demands -- not for anything more than he already wants. As long as that is provided, he's happy to do just about anything to ensure it.

Call it lack of trust, call it being hurt before, but Sans has a feeling that if there's a scarcity of life boats, it would be human women and children first.]


Think of it like an insurance policy. I pay, you just have to give me a promise. Sounds like it works out in your favor. [He bends down, assisting her.] Lead the way, impossible girl.

You don't need to call me that.

[She says it with a hint of upset, like it bothers her to have people call her it. She doesn't say anything more than that about it though, and leads the way back to her room with a much calmer demeanor than she's displayed to him only a few minutes prior. When they step into her room, the books in her arms are tossed onto her bed, and she takes the time to raise her arms up above her head and stretch.]

There's only a few names I'd like you to keep an eye on. There's someone on my team, I think their name is Zam? They want to potentially harm Bruce, and I want to know if they get close to trying. If you can also watch Niko and let me know if anyone is bothering him, I want to make sure he's free to speak to the Caducans and tell his stories when it comes time. I promised him I would, and I need to chase off anyone that's getting in the way of that. Ryuuzaki might need to be watched, to know what it is he's doing going to all the team meetings and what his involvement is with everything. If they don't keep you busy -

[She laughs a little, because she's amused by the fact that keeping an eye on the both of them may not keep someone busy enough.]

Several friends of mine are missing. I want to look for them myself, but I don't have the time to do it just yet. If I gave you their names, could you give it a go?
skelepun: (2450096 (2))

[personal profile] skelepun 2016-06-27 10:17 am (UTC)(link)
My mistake.

[Sans follows suit along with her, setting the rest of her books down next to the disorganized pile. He joins it soon after, leaning on the edge of the bed.]

Zam, Niko and all that encircle him, plus Ryuuzaki? I can do that for ya. [And whether he is or not, Sans certainly sounds confident in the idea.] Who are your friends?
skelepun: ([sans] 76)

are you ready to Run Some Tests

[personal profile] skelepun 2016-06-27 10:56 am (UTC)(link)
Yo, Captain Crunch.

[Sans isn't accustomed to yelling, but his usual easy quiet manages to raise a few descibles as he calls down the hall. One hand, stuffed into his pocket like normal. The other? Holding a device that looks like the sick lovechild between a walkie talkie and a staple gun.

They were short on time. Aesthetics weren't a top priority.]


I got a present for ya.

[Static crackles briefly behind the mask, distinctly reminiscent of someone snorting into an audio feed. You never know, except she does, and he needs more data if he's going to be useful.

Rinzler thinks he likes this user.]


Target?
otiosity: (currently offering sarcasm and good hair)

[personal profile] otiosity 2016-06-27 01:31 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh no. He knows exactly what he is. It's all really a clever ploy to be one of those dogs that everyone loves and so that he can get away with everything.

[When she lands on her backside, Kitty abandons his interest in Hawke and goes over to inspect that she's okay. He gently nips at her shirt as if to grab it to hoist her up.]

So let me guess. He went off looking for snacks and found you instead and was disappointed you weren't a snack?
morethan084: (Default)

[personal profile] morethan084 2016-06-27 03:49 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah.

[He's actually going to let her help him?! She gets off the bed a little too quickly in her excitement. This damn sling was going to get annoying real quick.]

I just have to go get it. Give me a few.

[Do. Not. Run. Daisy. Just walk, act like you're totally fine and not internally freaking out that you're helping Stark out.

As soon as she's out of the room she power walks to her room and back, her laptop tucked under her arm. Flopping back onto the bed beside him, Daisy places it on her lap and opens up the screen.]


Laptop twins.

[Why does she do this to herself?]

[ He reaches out to steady her when she stumbles - reflex - and quickly bluffs over it with an exaggerated backpat. Smooth as ice. ]

Actually, you tend to hit a period of euphoric hyper-energy after hour 50 or so. Dunno how far along you are, but that's something to look forward to. The coffee's just a teaser.

[ As they near the final turn into the cafe— ]

Swing wide.

[ What an ass. ]
knaval: (for me)

[personal profile] knaval 2016-06-27 05:07 pm (UTC)(link)
Okay. Good.

[he pushes himself to the side, landing on his ass.]

...That was weird. Super unlucky for you to be here.

Gets kinda messy, yeah. [Thinking about it a little. Figures she might as well ask somebody, even if they might ot know any better than her.]

What's their beef with us, anyway? Keep hearin' about us killing them, but I've only been here a couple weeks. They're not just making something up to start shit, are they?

DUNK ON ME HARD

[personal profile] knaval 2016-06-27 06:35 pm (UTC)(link)
um okay

[riptide is MILDLY confused but he's got nothing else to do, so he complies. he won't be hard to miss, giant robot with softly glowing biolights sitting in the middle of the observation deck.]
knaval: (all eyes turned in)

FOR DADTRON (again)

[personal profile] knaval 2016-06-27 06:41 pm (UTC)(link)
[honestly, riptide regretted telling megatron about teebs almost immediately, but what can ya do. he wasn't surprised to get no reply, though kept checking back periodically.

it's not much of a weird feeling to be worried about a decepticon's response to something.

shaking his head, riptide powers down his mid, leaning back against the cargo bay wall. part of him wonders why he's still okay with being down here, then another part of him remembers he's seen worse.]
a_shadow: (What's that)

[personal profile] a_shadow 2016-06-27 08:10 pm (UTC)(link)
No, it's just...

[ She shakes it off then, knowing she's being illogical. She looks Tony full-on. ]

It's never done this before. That's all. With the way people randomly disappear at times, it made me think...

[ She looks back at the portal. She needs to gather her thoughts and explain this more logically. ]

We went to a planet recently with an Ingress that could send us temporarily back to our home worlds. Some people disappeared in that time frame. And now this happens. It seems like more than a coincidence.
redshitlord: (your best suggests)

[personal profile] redshitlord 2016-06-27 08:52 pm (UTC)(link)
Y-yeah! Weird! Totally weird! And not normal.

[He sputters a bit, and actually fans at himself with a hand.]

Good thing it was you and not someone bigger and uglier!
bosswald: (Default)

[personal profile] bosswald 2016-06-27 09:10 pm (UTC)(link)
[Sighing, she rubs at her face for a moment. She's exhausted, and now that she's in her room, she can let it show a little more.]

Focus most of your attention on Zam. I don't want her trying to harm Bruce. Guarding Niko can be some of my focus, and Ryuuzaki's trustworthy enough. I just want to know what it is he's doing dipping in with all three groups.

[That's the priority here, and she knows it.]

Jack Sparrow, a pirate named Barbossa, and the other Loki are the men I'm looking to find. I doubt they'll turn up, but I'm hoping...

[Frowning, she gives a light shrug of her shoulders.]

Don't know what in the hell I'm hoping, really.

I really can't say anything at all without you people assuming I'm plotting something. I'm just stating a fact.
knaval: (they gonna rip up your heads)

[personal profile] knaval 2016-06-27 10:52 pm (UTC)(link)
You little nerd. It's like you're trying to hit on me.

[HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH

he shakes his head and gets up, offering sideswipe a hand.]


Well, there's no screaming and fire, so I can only assume we didn't just get hit by an asteroid.

[personal profile] hyperkinesia 2016-06-27 10:57 pm (UTC)(link)
He's very skilled at not getting angry about things like that, honestly. And after a few hours too many on his own, even he gets bored, and there's only so much worrying he can do before he has to find a way to distract himself. The games on the MID are hardly what he'd usually go for, but it's better than sifting methodically through the network for what's probably the tenth time.

He looks up when he hears someone approaching, closing the game and lowering his arm when he realizes the girl's here to talk to him.

"I'd introduce myself, but you know my name already," said matter-of-factly, hands clasped together as he rests them on his stretched out legs. There's little surprise when she brings up Caducus Primary, and after a moment of silence, he dips his head in a nod, lips pressed. "Ask away."
hyperkinesia: (I think that was meant for you.)

[personal profile] hyperkinesia 2016-06-27 11:06 pm (UTC)(link)
He comes to a little slowly, and he feels drowsy and tired, like when waking up from an intense dream or a very deep sleep. Basically, not usually how he feels when he wakes up, though this isn't an unfamiliar feeling to him either.

Consciousness makes its way to him eventually, mind more and more awake as he blinks and groans softly, a hand moving up to his head, then sliding down to rub at his eyes. The cage comes to focus, and admittedly, the sight isn't a surprise. Neither is the man sitting just outside the cage.

Bruce shifts around until he's sitting up, back resting against the wall, a quiet and dry chuckle slipping past his lips as he looks around. Figures they'd put him here. There's nowhere else on the ship for them to keep him locked up for days on end, after all.

"Tony," said somewhat flatly, as well as dismissive of his friend's tone. "One talk wasn't good enough for you, or did you have anything else you wanted to add before Natasha darted me?" Pointed stare because he knows that was Tony's idea.

arcreact: (tinkering the first)

[personal profile] arcreact 2016-06-27 11:17 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Aha. So it's like that. ]

Missing someone, I take it?

[ It would be easy for judgement to slip into his tone - she nearly lost it over an indistinct shape in a magical portal, after all, and who knows what would've happened if she'd actually touched it - but somehow there isn't any. Hell, if nothing else, seeing a second one of these things spitting people in and out would make Tony twitchy, too.

Maybe it's also because he's still half mistaking her for an acquaintance. ]
