"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.

No, the obvious choice here is to launch a preemptive strike. These aliens have already stated their intentions, only an absolute moron wouldn't act on getting rid of the threat as soon as possible. Honestly, we could probably send one Cybertronain over there and this whole thing would be over in an hour. I vote Megatron.

Why don't you tell that to the pissed off aliens that want to kill all of us? Only use a spell check and turn off your caps lock.

You're not sorry.

Unfortunately our so-called Captains have seen fit to place me on defensive planning. Even if I was on negotiations, I doubt it would do us any good. The message straight up said that terms are unlikely to be made and agreed upon. Trying to reason with them is a waste of time, they don't want to negotiate. They want to get revenge. Their minds are made up, giving us time to prepare is simply a formality.

we should be able to talk to them
if they are all about eye for an eye then they must realise that killing a bunch of people who werent even around for it would just be resetting the cycle and the murder of innocents
which would make them no better than the ones they want to kill
im willing to see how negotiations are going to go because the captains obviously want to try but if they fire first
then theyve sealed their own fate.

[SUPER SERIOUS PERIOD AND PROPER SPELLING]

[but no capitalization COME ON RIPTIDE MAGNUS WOULD BE SO ANNOYED]

Fair point. If they fire first knowing full well that at least half of the people here had nothing to do with what happened to their sister planet or whatever, then that puts them squarely in the wrong, and anything we do in retaliation could be considered self defense.

[lmao now starscream's just trying to think of ways to get those alines to open fire early good job riptide]

I really can't say anything at all without you people assuming I'm plotting something. I'm just stating a fact.

iseedeadbees: (wanna see something fucked up)

[personal profile] iseedeadbees 2016-06-28 11:17 pm (UTC)(link)
And just what exactly is wrong with making plans to protect us? Or have you forgotten the aliens outside that want us dead? I don't exactly see you coming up with any good ideas.
knaval: (teenagers scare)

[personal profile] knaval 2016-06-29 05:20 pm (UTC)(link)
my idea is to not open fire first and trust the negotiations team
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
iseedeadbees: (this is my zombie chamber)

[personal profile] iseedeadbees 2016-06-30 10:09 pm (UTC)(link)
These captains have no idea what they're doing. They've thrown together randomized teams of people who don't necessarily have any level of experience with the tasks that they've been given and told, them to figure something out. So excuse me if I don't feel too comfortable with the idea of trusting any of these people when it's our lives that are at stake.
knaval: (we packed up)

[personal profile] knaval 2016-06-30 10:53 pm (UTC)(link)
[starscream has a point, but riptide isn't about to admit that to him.]

sounds like someone is starSALTY for not being on the diplomatic team
iseedeadbees: (you straight trippin)

[personal profile] iseedeadbees 2016-06-30 10:57 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah I'm going to starSLAP you upside the head if you ever do that again.
