Ingress travel can be disorienting, but there’s no need to worry! All side effects are temporary and lessen with each trip. Your body may experience 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 may 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. You notice that the area you are in is filled with a soft cerulean light and feels slightly humid and dark despite the glow around you. Regardless of your current state, however, the stress of initial Ingress travel forces your body into unconsciousness.

Waking up is another story. Or maybe it isn’t.

You find yourself in a nondescript room; sometimes with others who have found themselves in the same situation, sometimes alone. A medical tech is always present to explain what’s happened before giving you some clothes, a TAB, and a guide that discusses things in further detail. This entire process also consists of a complete work-up of medical history and current health in order to obtain your signature—a specific frequency that will allow them to hone in on exactly where it is you’re from in order to get you back there.You spend your first week on the Ingress Complex while other accommodations and arrangements are made for you.

phanos

⋆ Phanos is classified as Exploration Class (EC) and is open to all travelers. The dry heat on the planet is overwhelming, but it's important that as many people as possible visit so that scientists can track down the origin of a strong signal pulsing somewhere on the planet. Its frequency indicates that if it is found, Ingress engineers may be able to hone in on people's signatures to send them home. However, frequent dust storms on the planet's surface are causing interference. It is strongly advised that investigators visit in groups—and keep their mouths closed!

⋆ Between dust storms, at the ege of the sandy plains, travelers will notice a series of pyramid-like structures. The smallest ones are just a few feet high, and the largest reach as high as ten-story buildings. Those who press on will find the terrain more difficult, as they must trek through increasingly dense clusters of pyramids of all sizes. Eventually, the pyramid 'forest' clears to reveal the largest pyramid of all, the size of a small mountain. Its peak is guarded by nests of griffin-like creatures which are no larger than a medium-sized dog. Those with combat skills should be in no danger, unless a whole nest attacks at once!

⋆ Multiple stone doors built into the top of the pyramid lead into a surprising space: a sleek lab, filled with incredibly advanced technology. Scientists, engineers and techies could happily spend years studying the equipment and deciphering the data it contains. But in the darkest corners, there's a quiet chittering...are the travelers really alone?

I see.

[ yet, somehow that was the least strange thing about this whole situation. Ocelot not having memories that he should... was something he had intimate experience with, even now. still, he didn't like what that meant for everything Venom had just told him.

well. it'd just be another bridge to cross when the time comes. ]

Anything I should know about that last time?

[ did he... backstab anyone? situations could change in an instant. ]

[alterplex]

[ Venom can't needle Ocelot for the things that he knows to be difficult to handle, which is where his misguided empathy plays a part, again. None of them need to be handled delicately, least of all Venom, but he can appreciate that information is best delegated to bite-size details. ]

No. As far as I know, we kept up the neutrality.

[ 'As far as Venom knows', of course. He won't deign to speak on Ocelot's behalf, but he can hazard a bit of a guess.

He rolls his shoulders, as if to grind his gears back into place. ]

...You're gonna be alright?

[shashka]

[ well. if nothing else, that was a relief. still, it didn't change the other facts. especially one in particular.

he needs more information.

at Venom's question, he shrugs. even if he were actually 'John', and not just 'Big Boss', this was one situation where he wasn't sure he'd reveal his true thoughts. no need to let anyone else know his weaknesses. ]

I'll manage.

[ he always does. ]
