"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.

[So did he, but she got put in charge, and quickly, too. He won't give up that info, though.]

I see.

Not necessary, I suppose. I'm just used to being the one calling the shots in any team, get it?

"I'm sorry I didn't talk to you sooner," Tron continues, settling into a chair closer to the cage wall. "It just never seemed like the right time." Now, though, they had nothing but time, while they waited to see how the negotiations would play out.

"Do you remember everything that happens when you're... like that?" It may be an indelicate question to ask, but Tron is curious, and he wonders if it's like his own glitches.

Sharp sudden pain, yeah. My breathing's fine, though.

[ It had been difficult to differentiate one pain from another while everything was happening and his head had been fuzzy, but Wash was fairly certain he could recall a sharp burst of pain that had seemed paired with the crack of his rib.

At the exam table, he eyed it dubiously for a moment, wondering briefly if coming here was really necessary. He did, however, cave and slowly, carefully pulled himself up onto the table, the only outward signs of pain he couldn't hold back being the occasional sharp breath or wince. Then came the laying down part. Not what he wanted to do at all, but he obeyed with impressively little grumbling. Still moving slowly, he leaned back until he was stretched out fully, and only then did he finally pull his hand away from his torso. ]


No dizziness. [ Wash shook his head, but paused in the middle and rethought his answer. ] ...Some disorientation, but I'm not sure it was from hitting the wall as much as it was...

[ Trailing off, decidedly not wanting to say 'from Tex punching me in the goddamn jaw', he simply gestured up at the darkening bruise on his face. ]

Okay! I'll keep note of that! Thank you. [ Whoa, it's getting chilly. Sakura wasn't expecting this kind of weather. Her body shivers in response to the cold. ]

I think we have to fight, but it'll be alright! I can protect people here with magic. Try not to worry so much okay? Everything will turn out fine.
pickingup: (I held you all through the night)

[personal profile] pickingup 2016-06-29 08:53 pm (UTC)(link)
I know.

[ Natasha doesn't want to expose Wanda unless it's absolutely necessary. Wanda shouldn't have to be exposed and anything that they can keep private until they need it, they should. Natasha already plays her own dangerous game of telling people just enough that they trust her abilities without letting anyone know where they really came from. ]

It would be best if we didn't need it at all, but even a few minutes could mean the difference between saving lives if something goes wrong. We don't have to tell anyone else why you're there.
redshitlord: (Talked about the real thing)

[personal profile] redshitlord 2016-06-29 09:20 pm (UTC)(link)
No argument there.

[He nods, and steps up closer. Don't worry, Riptide, your smol friend intends to protect you.]

Right. Can do.
squadgoals: (that makes a stupid kind of sense)

[personal profile] squadgoals 2016-06-29 09:34 pm (UTC)(link)
Loud and clear.

As someone coming from a similar position, you'll also understand the necessity of being able to take orders as well as give them.

That said, I'm open to criticism. Let me know if you have any issues you'd like to discuss.
iseedeadbees: (oh huzzah)

[personal profile] iseedeadbees 2016-06-29 10:02 pm (UTC)(link)
I said good ideas.
knaval: (wish i didn't turn it in)

[personal profile] knaval 2016-06-29 10:28 pm (UTC)(link)
where is the trust
knaval: (another star)

[personal profile] knaval 2016-06-29 10:31 pm (UTC)(link)
I am... steady yourself, Sideswipe. I'm going to do my job. I'm going to quickly check to there's any wing damage.

[he nods to himself. big thing.]
gentlemenpreferblondes: (But I prefer a man who lives)

[personal profile] gentlemenpreferblondes 2016-06-29 11:30 pm (UTC)(link)
[J had hurried to the bar right after recovering from being thrown down on the floor by the ship's sudden inclination, worried about safety of the glasses and bottles. She and Miles had gathered so many new spirits from the Collective that they hadn't had time to stock them properly. And unfortunately, very much to her disappointment (and to her annoyance), her fears had turned out to be completely accurate.

So, when Shepard passes by the bar next time she can find J kneeling down on the floor, picking up the glass shards. The beautiful white dress that she's wearing is full of different colored stains, no doubt caused by the liquid's she's cleaned off the floor. Her skin is slightly pale but other than she's looking quite good, lips painted red and hair (that is now almost white) combed and styled neatly.]
gentlemenpreferblondes: (Who used to call)

[personal profile] gentlemenpreferblondes 2016-06-30 12:00 am (UTC)(link)
[There's a short pause when J just looks at his hand, one brow arching up in a questioning manner.

Under other circumstances? Really? She gives him a quick, but very noticeable, eye roll and picks up her purse and his shades from the ground -- but instead of handing them out back to him she puts them on and grabs his hand, allowing him to pull her up.]
forwardmomentum: (and with kids sticking plaster)

[personal profile] forwardmomentum 2016-06-30 12:09 am (UTC)(link)
[ it's cute small talk, at least. miles's mouth twitches into an amused half-smile. ]

I'm only a spy back home, you know. [ he breathes out a short laugh through his nose, setting down the datapad so he can roll his shoulder until it gives a satisfying pop. he's getting a little stiff, standing on his step-stool all hunched over the bar like this. ] If you mean trying not to get us all killed, then yeah, sounds about a day in the life. What can I get you?
vaccinations: (zuko here)

Library

[personal profile] vaccinations 2016-06-30 12:09 am (UTC)(link)
[Ellie is in the library for entirely different reasons. She's hoping to score some comic books or at least some kind of cool sci-fi book that they never carried back home at her military school. She's already picked up Lord of the Rings and A Wrinkle in TIme. Honestly, Ellie doesn't really see what's so embarrassing, mostly because she has no idea who Jane Austen is and was only just trying to sneak through unnoticed.]

Uh. No. If being here is a secret, I'm pretty good at pretending things never happened.

[Not sure why it would be a secret though.]
bosswald: (Default)

[personal profile] bosswald 2016-06-30 12:30 am (UTC)(link)
[Clara relaxes some when she sees it's a younger girl, offering her a slight smile as she spots the books in her arms. It's nice to see someone her age reading voluntarily, especially with what all is going on right now.]

It's not. Forget I said anything, yeah?

[She nods over toward the books, eyebrows arching.]

What about you, what did you manage to find? Something good, I hope.
vaccinations: (its written by matt fraction)

[personal profile] vaccinations 2016-06-30 12:49 am (UTC)(link)
Uh, yeah. I mean I thought they looked pretty cool from the front. I've never read them before though. We didn't really have a lot of these kind of books where I'm from.

[She gives a shrug before rubbing the back of her neck. It's not awkward to say that is it?]
bosswald: (Default)

[personal profile] bosswald 2016-06-30 12:52 am (UTC)(link)
There's all kinds of books here, ones I've never even heard of before.

[She pulls out the chair next to her, and nods over toward it, signaling for Ellie to sit down.]

What sort of things do you like reading? Maybe I can help you pick something out.
vaccinations: (facepalm)

[personal profile] vaccinations 2016-06-30 12:56 am (UTC)(link)
I mean.

[Why is this so lame? It's not lame. Ellie get over it, she tells herself.]

They're not... My favorite are comic books. I've been reading this one, Savage Starlight. But I haven't been able to find all of the issues. And I don't wanna read out of order because that just ruins everything.

Buuuut I haven't been able to find 'em here. Or any comics.
seeingscarlet: (concern; 007)

[personal profile] seeingscarlet 2016-06-30 01:05 am (UTC)(link)
We would have to tell them later.

[She shouldn't be this nervous. While it's true Wanda's been careful with who finds out about that side of her powers, it's not exactly a secret at home? So why does the thought of being exposed here make her so anxious she almost feels sick?

Apparently the Ingress malfunction can erase memories but not all of the associated emotions.]


I will do it if I need to, but they won't like it.
bosswald: (talkface)

[personal profile] bosswald 2016-06-30 01:06 am (UTC)(link)
Well, that won't do. Come on, let's have another look.

[Clara's not about to judge a kid for wanting to read comics. As long as she's reading, she finds that to be impressive. So she hops up to stand, and heads over to the nearest area of books to start looking.]

It's good to have something you enjoy, especially with what's going on right now.

[She glances over at the girl, looking her over, wondering which group she's been assigned to and if she's expected to take part. ]
arcreact: (tell me more)

[personal profile] arcreact 2016-06-30 01:17 am (UTC)(link)
[ Tony stares dubiously as she re-heats the coffee - frankly, yes, he did forget there was even anything in that one - and continues to stare even after she's set it down, steaming innocently. ]

That's... [ godDAMMIT ] convenient.

[ WHY WOULD YOU MAKE HIM CONCEDE THAT. ]
arcreact: are you automatically drafted into the skeleton war? (if your grave doesnt say "rest in peace")

[personal profile] arcreact 2016-06-30 01:21 am (UTC)(link)
[ Yeah you're not a shifty character at all, Sans. ]

Depends. Why're you asking? You want in?
otiosity: (currently offering sarcasm and good hair)

[personal profile] otiosity 2016-06-30 01:30 am (UTC)(link)
It is, isn't! Bathes are never cold. Tea is always hot. The real important uses of magic once you get down to it.

[And the ones that are you know, actually easy to do here. Heating up tea? A lot easier than sending down a rain of fire on some poor sap.

She's looking pleased with herself. Just a little.]
vaccinations: (breaking and entering)

[personal profile] vaccinations 2016-06-30 01:34 am (UTC)(link)
[Ellie follows her, still glancing around for anything interesting and kind of half listening, until she gets to the part about what's going on.]

You mean those guys that wanna kill us? Yeah. Sounds pretty fucking ugly.
arcreact: (301) again? ((240) banned from zoo.)

[personal profile] arcreact 2016-06-30 01:37 am (UTC)(link)
[ ... What. ]

I was definitely kidding, but of course you do. Someday I'll learn.
