"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.

That's right! My magic comes from a very special card. I can do lots of things with magic like make flowers, create lights and even fly!

I want to use this power to help our friends here. Why did you ask though? Do you like magic? [ Perhaps Elsa's interested in magic and Sakura just doesn't know it yet. She thinks it's worth asking! ]

[personal profile] imaginary_wife 2016-07-09 06:44 am (UTC)(link)
Well, we do know other planets have Ingresses.

Can't all be broken.

[She smooths her hands down her uniform.] I don't really have a place to go back to.

[Doesn't mean she wouldn't leave, but it does mean she's not feeling as rushed as other people.]

[personal profile] imaginary_wife 2016-07-09 06:50 am (UTC)(link)
Well, that was pretty handy. No pun intended (even if that pun happened a lot on a ship where people kept losing their hands). Couldn't argue with that show. It also gave her time to treat her finger.

"It's been busy. A lotta people got hurt and I gotta keep the HS. Herman Melville from coming over and harpooning us for our sins. Or at least keep them from busting into Med Bay."
ryuuzaki: (hmm - serious)

[personal profile] ryuuzaki 2016-07-09 08:37 am (UTC)(link)
[His head tips to the side, and for the first time, he looks up from what he's been doing, fixing Kobra with a thoughtful expression.]

No, they were human. The situation was alien to me, but... futuristic might be a better term for it. It wasn't on Earth. I suppose a few people you might call aliens were around, but they were brought in the same way you or I were brought in here. I don't mean through the Ingress, only that a number of us were pulled there in a similar matter.

What did the Vend-a-Hack do?
knaval: (no-one to see on the quay)

[personal profile] knaval 2016-07-09 01:29 pm (UTC)(link)
I mean, it's true though, isn't it?

[riptide is aware that it's kind of fucked up, but what can you do.]

No, I'm fine. I fall over far more than is probably normal for anyone, so. Is Meh around? I'm sure she can help you and make sarcastic comments.
knaval: (but i don't want to look)

[personal profile] knaval 2016-07-09 01:36 pm (UTC)(link)
It happens sometimes. Maybe someone up in navigation is drunk or something. That happens too.

[fucking swerve.

he pauses. the answer is no, but he won't say that, of course.]


Yeah, I'm fine. A Cybertronian medic showed up so I got everything fixed properly.
knaval: (ticket in my hand)

[personal profile] knaval 2016-07-09 01:51 pm (UTC)(link)
Uh... thanks?

[riptide is so confused. he appreciates the offer of support, of course, but... literally who??]

Like what? Am I ruining your attempt to be really mysterious?

[You'll get used to it, Tony. Promise.]

Deal. [He takes Tony's hand, shaking it twice. No whoopie cushion this time. Next time, he'll make sure to prepare better.] Pleasure doin' business with you, pal.

[He let go again, waving that same hand over his head with a fresh bounce in his step. With a quick side step, he steps behind one of the strewn parts. By the time he should, realistically, be reappearing on the other side of it, Sans is already gone.]

Gimme a call, T. We'll get into some trouble.
peridork: (Sweet.)

[personal profile] peridork 2016-07-09 08:18 pm (UTC)(link)
[Peridot presses pause on her anger for a moment to cock her head, frowning.] Why's that?
imaginary_wife: (142)

[personal profile] imaginary_wife 2016-07-09 08:59 pm (UTC)(link)
Back home, when I left... the people in the town I lived in weren't only tolerating the presence of carnivores that ate other sentient organic species, tyrants who made my people? They were doing it at the expense of other Votans.

Coming here was a blessing in disguise. My only friend had died. [She thought he was dead, anyway.] I had the decision to go made for me.

But that doesn't mean I wouldn't go. Where would you think of going to?
peridork: (EYE ROLLING)

[personal profile] peridork 2016-07-10 03:02 am (UTC)(link)
[She's going to take that question as an indication to not pry with a million questions and just. Move on.

She looks down at her hands, fidgeting anxiously.]


I don't even know, I mean... I can't do it alone, but Jasper's not about to come with me any time soon...
arcreact: so he made me turn around 360 degrees and when he saw my ass, he blurted out my first AND last name ((843) he literally had no idea who i was)

[personal profile] arcreact 2016-07-10 05:21 am (UTC)(link)
"No I didn't," he shoots right back, being deliberately twelve at this point. They're not being recorded. Bruce can't prove shit, and being petulant is the best, most benign possible outcome when Tony still just wants to rip into him for being such a hard-headed moron.

But anger aside, the idea of Bruce at least busying himself while he's locked up is comforting. Makes it feel a little less like they've relegated him to some kind of fucked up prison sentence where all he can do is stare out the bars and ponder his choices.

... Though that last thing is admittedly a little appealing. The making him ponder his goddamn choices bit.

"I'll get you the stuff. And that droopy salad, which should serve as extra motivation to achieve scientific breakthrough."
hyperkinesia: (bruce_aou_065)

[personal profile] hyperkinesia 2016-07-10 12:45 pm (UTC)(link)
Bruce stares at Tony with slightly widened eyes, an expression that practically screams 'are you fucking kidding me', but immediately after he follows it by rolling said eyes and sighing out a groan. Whatever, it's Tony. Like he should expect anything other than him acting like a petulant kid just because.

And he's already pondering his choices, he doesn't need a cage for that. What he does need a cage for is to make sure he won't pick the same choice anyway, or something along the lines of throwing himself out of an airlock. Not that he would but... It should be a real concern for those trying to stop him from making himself out to be a martyr.

"I do like droopy salads, so thank you." His thanks aren't genuine, for the record. "Too bad there's no currency here, I could open up a shawarma shop and make a fortune."

You didn’t seem so bothered by death when you killed Chara. [For all the fire that had been in her voice when she spoke of her disagreements with her team before, Zam’s words are cold as ice now.] This can’t be any worse than that.
whatdidisay: (miles why)

[personal profile] whatdidisay 2016-07-10 02:46 pm (UTC)(link)
And trust me, I appreciate it. ( ivan says, one hand on his heart. ) Is this what it's always like? Back with the Dendarii, I mean. I got a bit of it, but never the full experience.

Although, mind you, the kidnapping is the closest I've wanted to come to the full experience.
gentlemenpreferblondes: (And here's some advice)

[personal profile] gentlemenpreferblondes 2016-07-10 08:34 pm (UTC)(link)
[J looks at the pointed spots on the floor and puts the vacuum cleaner she's holding down on the floor, lifts her hem a little and gives Shepard a mock-curtsy like a maid would, wide grin playing on her lips.

She starts the vacuum with her feet and picks up the hose and cleaning the spots, making sure to go through each corner and small slots. After getting done J bows down to Shepard, this time much deeper than the last time.

There you go, madam.]
imaginary_wife: (125)

[personal profile] imaginary_wife 2016-07-10 11:36 pm (UTC)(link)
Why wouldn't Jasper? I thought you two were pretty close?

[There's a chance that she could talk more to Peridot, but not to many other people. She likes Peridot. Trusts her on this much. This, though, is a problem. Not Peridot wanting to leave, but that uncertainty she had before is at risk of becoming a reality.]
peridork: (embarrassment x2)

[personal profile] peridork 2016-07-11 12:07 am (UTC)(link)
[The gem lets out a single, bitter bark of laughter.]

Jasper found out that I've been lying to her about my continuing loyalty to Yellow Diamond, or lack thereof.

[She clenches the machine part that she's holding, glancing down at it miserably.] She hasn't exactly taken that well.
goodluckkobra: (do you care at all?)

[personal profile] goodluckkobra 2016-07-11 12:32 am (UTC)(link)
[ Kobra nods at the words, taking them in but ultimately finding a lot of the ideas overwhelming. His world back home had felt so small compared to all of this that he's barely sure what to do with the idea of being in space, let alone multiple dimension shit. ]

Helped us steal things easier. Can never have too many batteries, but never really had the carbons to pay for 'em.
arcreact: (11)

[personal profile] arcreact 2016-07-11 01:43 am (UTC)(link)
That...

[ ... probably isn't the kind of thing a radio talkshow host would get up to on an average day? Probably? Unless there's a whole lot he doesn't know. Which, actually, wouldn't even be that far-fetched, but. He's gonna go with Occam's razor for this one. ]

—Uh, you're not Trish Walker, are you?
arcreact: does anyone know where i am? ((401) this is a mass text.)

[personal profile] arcreact 2016-07-11 01:48 am (UTC)(link)
The Dragon Age. [ Really?? REALLY. ] Is that just a bullshit moniker invented by bored historians or are there actual, literal dragons?
arcreact: (12)

[personal profile] arcreact 2016-07-11 01:51 am (UTC)(link)
[ Tony pulls his feet up onto the bed until William calls Dogmeat away, the spitting image of petulance. Whatever. Whatever!! He'll take what he can get. ]

It's got everything to do with those guys who want us dead. Unless there are more guys who want us dead that I don't know about - which, actually, I'm starting to think is perfectly plausible, because I didn't even know about this set until a few hours ago.

[ ANYWAY. ]

So far they mostly just seem kind of dumb.
otiosity: (currently offering sarcasm and good hair)

[personal profile] otiosity 2016-07-11 01:57 am (UTC)(link)
Literal dragons! The first spotted in Ages, hence the name given to the new age by the Divine. Supposedly, she expected it to be an age of war and upheaval and so far, it's been living up to that.
prorenataa: (kinda spacing)

[personal profile] prorenataa 2016-07-11 02:25 am (UTC)(link)
Yes, well. About that. [ Adrien said, stepping back and crossing his arms. ] You're shoulder is going to be susceptible to dislocation going forward in high stress situations. Just something to be prepared for.

[ Aside from that, he gave a slight nod of his head. ]

For now, you're good to go. I can give you a sling, if you'll bother wearing it, to help keep the arm immobilized. Immobilization, warm compress and aspirin are what you need to help the muscles, ligaments and tendons to recover. Light exercise will help keep loosen the muscles and that may help alleviate some of the lingering ache, but I mean, light exercise.
arcreact: while the police let me ride their horse. ((505) thank you for holding my vodka)

[personal profile] arcreact 2016-07-11 02:40 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah? Well, I've had one whole conversation with you without wanting you dead. Yet.

I'm officially the best friend you'll ever have.
