old but unfamiliar faces
"We sometimes encounter people, even perfect strangers, who begin to interest us at first sight, somehow suddenly, all at once."

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 nothing is familiar. Shortly after, you are led out and toward the medbay.

Inside this room, you are given a physical scan and offered a contract to sign that states you are now part of the crew of the Moira with a specific job. Any questions you might have would be answered in a straightforward manner as well as an explanation about how the Ingress, the thing that has pulled you onto the Moira, is broken and bringing people here unintentionally. This process also 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 or wrist with only the slightest pinch. From there, you are guided out of the medbay and to your living quarters.

At first, this month seems no more unusual than the previous one for those who have been aboard the Moira for any amount of time. The crew who had landed on the slaver outpost were rescued, and with everyone aboard, the ship has pushed forward into the darker parts of the Runoff. Anyone arriving through the Ingress follows the same routine—moving from the Ingress room into the Medbay for their physical and contract before being assisted by seasoned crew members and helped to their assigned decks. But all familiar things must eventually come to an end: two final travelers come through the Ingress. The first, and most noticeable difference between them and all the others, is their clothing. Both are dressed in standard Moira uniforms, though they bear the insignia of one sharing the same rank as Captains Cúrre and Thán. After a moment to take in all the people on the platform ahead of them, one of the two latest arrivals approaches one of the Ingress panels and begins to manipulate the controls. The Ingress completely shuts down. Unlike before, however, there isn’t an imbalance felt across the ship; everything remains normal and stable.

Utilizing the computer systems located in the Ingress room, they send out the following message to the crew via the MID:

To all those aboard this vessel: I am Ira Phirun, assigned captain of the Moira. First Mate Egan and I will be commandeering all rights to the ship as soon as word is sent to those currently in charge. Expect a more detailed report as soon as all records and logs in Navigation have been reviewed by myself and the First Mate. All questions will be answered in a timely matter. For now, there will be no interruption of daily routine or reprimand if conduct among ranks is broken. Thanks for your time.

Heading to Navigation, the Captain and First Mate, for seemingly unknown reasons, approach Navigator Manasseh and have her show them all records and logs of the Moira. Those working in Navigation when the Captain and First Mate arrive will see Mana greet them in a professional manner. Oddly, the Captain and First Mate act very familiar with the Navigator. They review all documents, but when they come upon news that the Ploiatos is on board, their mostly friendly demeanor shifts quickly. The Captain issues a sharp order, unintelligible to those who are close enough to overhear parts of their conversation, and without any warning at all, Mana loses consciousness and collapses right there on the bridge. Within minutes of this happening, the ship as a whole falls into a low power state with basic functions only. Mana’s MID alerts Medbay, and without hesitation, Captain Cúrre places her in cryo with strict orders to those who work there not to disturb the unit.

As promised, the Captain and First Mate soon address the crew.

lights down low
The lighting has dimmed in all the rooms and halls, the normally crisp air that is pumped from the vents low, and all machines and tech are running at half-speed. These effects can be found throughout the ship. Water in the showers remain hot for only a few minutes before reverting to cold. Recreational equipment powers off not long after it has been turned on. The sanitation and water filtration systems require an hourly manual reboot, and all unused areas of the ship have no power allotted to them until a crew member steps inside. Even then, most functions are not optimal. It’s as if the Moira has been transformed into a dark house with only a candle flickering on the window sill.

reuse & recycle
The Captain and First Mate are quick to establish that this is a new regime and go about making the ship and its crew more efficient in the wake of their change in course and the low power state of the ship itself. This means they will systematically inspect each occupied barracks room and leave notes for what needs to be disposed of or stowed away. Unlike before, this is no longer a pleasure cruise, and each member of the crew is a guest on board; they will not tolerate useless clutter. Anything seen as unnecessary will be either placed into storage in the Cargo Bay or disposed of through the airlock. This new need for efficiency also extends to the need to conserve resources until they reach their destination. The showers are set to an automatic timer to minimize water waste. Those few minutes of hot water are all a crew member is now given. Meals are smaller, bordering on ration sizes, and luxuries are done away with entirely in order to preserve supplies so that the ship can go longer before needing to dock at a planet.

new jobs, same faces
The Captain and his First Mate, as expressed in their addressing of the Moira, explain that work efficiency is a priority. Applications for a head of the following departments will be accepted for a short period: Navigation, the Tower, Medbay, Defense, the Hold, Sanitation, Ingress work, and the Galley/Mess Hall. (Here.) After reviewing what they receive, one head of department will be chosen and tasked with helping crew find positions relevant to those departments and their own skillsets. They will be allowed to retain any positions that they held before that aren’t ship-functional jobs, but they will have to be done in leisure time. In two weeks time, they’ll be accepting department position applications which will be approved, and all those that do not apply will be assigned in accordance with their initial work application. They will also choose three individuals to act as guards of Ploiatos to ensure that there is a rotation available at all times. Will you choose to follow this new decision and promote yourself into a position of responsibility? Or will you simply wait for a reassignment?

[ Nihlus has been going in an out of the Ingress's chambers, greeting and guiding newcomers between taking various readings around the activated Ingress. He's just heading back from dropping someone off at the medical bay when he nearly runs into a human with a mask on. ]

Sorry, I just need to get-

[ Nihlus is, fortunately, very fast.

He deflects the oncoming blow with the back of his arm, free hand coming up to snap shut around the man's forearm. If that move succeeds, he'll twist said arm up and against his attacker's back, kick the guy's foot out from under him and slam him into the floor. ]

[ She flinches slightly at the sudden voice, eyes opening and looking over at him. She swallows hard before leaving the wall, embarrassed to have been caught like that. But she forces something resembling an intelligent response. ]

I thought they made you walk along a straight line for that.

[ A quick brush against his mind and she knows he isn't a threat. If anything, she feels something resembling concern more than anything else. ]

Nothing shows on his face, but his heart sinks just slightly. On that, Genji is not wrong; he'd been prepared to die in battle, no finer honor to bestow his fallen brother -- that was the thought then.

Even now, he would still accept it.

When Genji takes his leave, Hanzo says nothing right off. He stands, and he thinks. The rage of his storm brewing, as it always does now.

"Moro thirteen," he says. "If it concerns you."

His room.

[Okay, Magnus. Vent. Just...vent...]

You had no choice...?

Okay this...this makes a little more sense than you actively converting to Decepticonism...

I don't really see how there was time to indoctrinate you since we were sort of trapped but...

[whatever you're like 12 everyone under 20 is 12 right?]

How fortunate for me. [Even if he had cybernetic implants, he'd likely refuse any assistance.]

Then you have nothing new to say. Hoping for the best until a way to go back to our respective worlds is possible? Feh.

i am so sorry

[He...didn't plan this. He never does, and it's always awkward, and yet...he never learns his lesson. But he'll never know who that was in the dark, on that other plane, in the Force, unless he seeks it out.

He cracks a smile, but he still looks a wounded mess. He's given worse introductions.]


Was that you?

[...But not by much.]

Whirl, I see you've made it aboard safe and sound as well.

[Magnus crosses his giant arms.]

Now, what exactly were you saying before you turned that corner? It sounded suspiciously like mockery.

And you know how I feel about mockery.

But... if the war is over, is it really so bad to be a Decepticon?

It's just a badge.

[At least that's all it is to Tailgate, though being judged for it immediately does occasionally make him feel bad.]

And I think it was a good way to keep Tarn happy for a while.

[Mettaton isn't really looking for trouble right now. In fact he's just headed back to his room for another charge because damn it if the allotted electricity wasn't keeping him charged up enough. He wasn't sure if that was intentional or not, but it sure wasn't fun.

Even less fun? Seeing Kaworu's annoying face with that shitty smile of his. The boy would have had warning; Mettaton's core glowed brightly and lit the halls more clearly, casting a pink shade on everything.

Ohhh, if the robot wasn't so worn out, he'd threaten Kaworu. Instead, he gives an aggravated grimace and begins to turn away. If Kaworu's going to stop him, this'll be his only chance.

Mettaton is not courting bullshit today.]

[Whirl is very pointedly staring at his shoulders right now. Like, literally has not taken his...er....eye off of them.]

Trust me, Big M. There's no mocking going on in my brain module.

Literally like...none. Seriously this is a new feeling for me.

[ She looks up at the voice a fraction later, almost having not heard him. She looks up and meets his eyes before looking around her. Nope. He was talking to her.

Looking back at him, her fork finally stills, ]


I know.

[ She looks back down at it but can't really make herself eat it. ]

AH-!

[Asriel's yelp is loud, and his landing hurts. It's too dark to tell what he tripped over, but it sounds like it was a person.]

H-hello? I'm sorry, I didn't mean to...

[He makes a small sound of amusement at the boat remark, and nods politely at the introduction.]

My name is Thane; it's good to meet you, as well.

[And then, said with the tiniest of smiles, because he can't help thinking of Kasumi:]

Your commitment to law and order is very much appreciated, sir.

[...Can robots be sirs? This one sure sounds masculine. Hopefully he hasn't just committed a gross faux pas, but if he has, he can always apologize.]

Yes, yes you are. The good little soldier who follows the orders of others. Trying to hide what you really are wearing all that armor.

[personal profile] onlytwoexpressions 2016-08-02 04:07 am (UTC)(link)
Not to Tarn. He's a zealot and a murderer. It should say something that one of our current captains is a the creator of Decepticonism and has publicly denounced it.

I don't think you fully understand what Decepticonism has been twisted into being associated with.

[ She stares at him, wide eyed and feeling both afraid and guilty at the same time. Should she say what she is? But, what if he responds badly to it? She's a mind reader, not a fortune teller. No premonitions prepared her for any of this. ]

...what was what?
