ABOARD THE MOIRA
Whether adjusting to space travel has been difficult or not, there is always something to be done. From working to leisure, the Moira offers a multitude of opportunities to get to know your crewmates a bit better. Exploration of the ship is highly encouraged, but as another planet grows closer to being docked, things start to get a little hectic. You'll notice a slight change in the artificial gravity as the Moira is pulled into a gravitational field; however, more noticeable changes can be found in the overall morale as you prepare to descend.
☄ on your ownThere are plenty of other communal areas on the ship to explore! Pick a place, and see where it takes you. ( These scenarios can be used as in-game canon. ) ☄ round 'em upThe day begins normally. You check out the mess hall and report to your assigned job, and so far, nothing seems incredibly out of place. However, as the hours pass, you begin to notice something strange scurrying along wall edges and into open vents. For the most part, these rodents are harmless—in this stage. While they may get into the food supply in the Cargo Bay or terrorize those in the kitchen, they are not violent and appear to be skittish. However, once they've "matured" - the color of their tail will have changed from a light gray to a very dark purple, prompting them to enter a temporary stasis inside a cocoon - they aren't so cute anymore. These paklers are vicious, will bite if they're caught, and defend themselves with claws as well as the protrusions on their bodies. There is nothing to be done about them except capture them and eject them into space as they are considered a pest and very harmful to the crew and the ship. Once they run out of food, they will turn on each other as well as anything resembling a living creature. The captains provide the proper equipment, electric nets as well as tranquilizers, to assist with the capture of the paklers and their immediate removal from the Moira.
☄ what's yours is mineSomething seems a bit off about the laundry delivery service these days, doesn't it? Has the Moira always had one of those? Whether you realize it immediately or not, something is very wrong about the clothes that have suddenly appeared in your wardrobe. They are either much too big or far too small, and as far as you can tell, there seems to be no happy medium in all of this. Will you Dress To Impress in your new uniforms? Will you swap with someone who might be a similar size regardless of the fact their uniform colors are not the same as your own? Or will you simply walk naked through the halls of the ship, carefree and bare to the rest of your crewmates?
☄ n'syncWhile exploring the ship, first down one hall and then another, you come across a strange door you've never seen before. When you pull it open, you'll find someone, a crew member, standing on the other side, hand outstretched as if they've just opened that door from the opposite side. Every move you make, they mirror, and if they shift to the left or right, you also shift left or right. Absolutely everything the both of you do is the same except for the words that come out of your mouth; somehow, you still manage to maintain the ability to talk without mimicking your partner. You're unable to completely control your movements again until someone says "in sync". Good luck figuring out the magic words, and if you decide to question the captains (or anyone else) about it, they won't have any idea what it is you're talking about.

Soundwave | Transformers IDW or Transformers Prime
IDW Soundwave: Round 'em up
[Soundwave rather doubted that these 'paklers' would cause any serious issues for the Cybertronians on the ship. They would certainly die if they attempted to consume energon, and their teeth couldn't get through his plates. At most being able to hear them all running around the ship was bothersome to him.]
[However, seeing as a large portion of the crew was human or similar, and he couldn't exactly run a whole ship on his own, he would make an effort to help where he could. If he couldn't fit in an area to grab them himself, he could at least direct the humans as to how many and where the pests were. And if any paklers got underfoot... Well. They wouldn't survive out in space anyways, right?]
IDW Soundwave: OTA
[Chose your own adventure with the giant blue Decepticon!]
TFP Soundwave: On your own
[The ship was crawling with organics. It put him on edge more than he cared to admit. After seeing the end results of the humans' experiments on Breakdown, and those stupid children the Autobots kept managing to lock him in a prison with no escape? He had no desire to deal with them. He had covered his tracks here as much as he could - as soon as he arrived he ensured his name on the network was replaced with a pseudonym. Soundwave would give no one reason to look for or talk to him. One he had a proper plan, he could deal with the feasibility of taking the ship, or escaping it. Escape seemed more probable at the moment.]
[For now, he was in the cargo bay, one of the few places he could move properly. The blank, black screen that covered the whole of his face was fixed on the supply of what he was informed was energon. But it was bright pink. Considering the odd, or downright negative side effects of any energon apart from the normal blue had on Cybertronians of his world? It was concerning to see. Escape might come in the form of starvation after all.]
TFP Soundwave: OTA
[Chose your own adventure with Slenderbot!]
idw sounders
here is riptide stopping in his tracks, optics widening when he notices soundwave.]
Oh, jeez. Haha. Oh, man, oh, god. No. Nope. Nooo, no no.
[here is riptide holding his hands up and walking out backwards. he's pretty sure if he turns his back on soundwave, he'll get his energon sucked out.]
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
Calm down. He's just as lost in this region of space as we are.
[The ex-Decepticon isn't expecting much of a warm welcome, but it's not like they can just leave Soundwave to wander around alone. Factions aside, they were all still Cybertronian. They needed to look out for each other.]
/slowly pets you both
[He raised his hands, trying to look non-threatening. He was even going to tell poor Riptide that he had no intention of harming him. But then there was a very familiar person and voice. Soundwave's hands immediately drop.]
Autobots. I do not require any escort.
no subject
[riptide is trying to step past megatron, even though there is literally not enough space for him. damn megatron and his giant rippling pecs.]
no subject
[Stop staring at his pecs in front of Soundwave, it's already awkward enough as it is.]
But we will be sharing this ship. We will be sharing supplies and likely brushing shoulders quite often. For better or for worse, ignoring each other is no longer an option.
no subject
Baka!]You have been deceived if you were told the Autobots have been ignoring us.
[Because apparently Prime and his crew couldn’t just leave them alone to build a new home after making them unwelcome on the old one.]
As such, I find it hard to believe the Autobots have any intention of sharing this ship or supplies equally.
no subject
[he tries to get past a few more times, then stops. sighs.]
...go.
no subject
[He extends a welcoming hand.]
All I will ask for is your cooperation so we can all return home.
no subject
[His gaze drops down to Megatron's hand. There's a long moment of silence while he stares at it. Slowly, one of his hands comes up, moves towards Megatron's... and slaps it out of the way.]
You had my cooperation.
[Sorry Riptide now Soundwave is turning to you.]
If you have someone else you defer to, Autobot, I will gladly speak with them.
no subject
[RELEASE HIM FROM THIS HELL.]
no subject
[He steps to the side to allow Riptide to pass.]
no subject
[Watching Megatron look so put out and moving aside so easily is one part satisfying, one part infuriating. He couldn't remember seeing his former leader look that - sad? Was that sad? - before. It was satisfying to see him look hurt, of course, but the reaction was also telling of how much Megatron had changed. Which made him angry.]
[Soundwave stared at Megatron for a moment longer, before going to walk past him as well. He really doubted there was more to talk about.]
no subject
he's peeking around the corner when soundwave exits, swears, and tries to act like he was doing something else.]
no subject
[Even if he hadn't seen Riptide peering around the corner, he heard the swearing. He was pretty sure the Autobot didn't want to talk, but he at least felt like he should apologize and properly introduce himself. Which meant he was stopping in front of Riptide when he rounded the corner.]
I apologize that you were caught in the middle of that. May I ask your name?
no subject
[he is clearly uncomfortable to even be near soundwave. it's a miracle he didn't just bolt off after soundwave approached him.]
Don't-- don't you have a spat to sort out back there? Like, not involving me further?
no subject
I have nothing more to say to Megatron.
[Since Riptide clearly didn't want to talk, he would try to make this quick. But it was important to say.]
You appeared alarmed when you first saw me. I merely wished to inform you I do not intend to harm you, or any of your friends. I will not take up more of your time if you do not wish to speak with me further.
no subject
...I mean, that's better than what most Decepticons would try to do. If you're lying or whatever I'm gonna be kinda disappointed. Not even angry, just disappointed.
no subject
[Soundwave hums a little, amused. Of course it's hard to tell with the lack of face and fairly monotone voice.]
Then I will do my best not to disappoint.
(no subject)
IDW Soundwave: Round 'em up
[What are these things, why are they crawling around. Are they sentient? They don't seem like it. But wow, he's no scientist.]
[Also it's hard to observe anything when your head keeps THWACKING against every doorway. The perils of being huge even by Cybertronian standards.]
no subject
[Soundwave heads over to Roller, kicking one of the rodent like creatures out of the way before it ends up under his massive foot and makes a mess.]
Do you require some... assistance?
no subject
[Though he's not sure how this strange bot is going to assist. Hey, he won't say no to it. He keeps a hand to his head, grumpily rubbing at a spot on his helmet.]
You can start by either making this whole place huge or hacking off like ten feet of my frame.
[A beat.]
I'm kidding. Hi.
no subject
Soundwave. I would offer to modify your frame, however this place currently lacks the resources to do so.
[If he found Roller's comment humorous or not, he doesn't really indicate on way or another. In the meantime, he can at least bring up the communication device he was given, and pings Roller a map with a few routes highlighted.]
These areas should accommodate you or your alt mode more comfortably. Or speak with one of the Cybertronians familiar with the holomatter avatars.
no subject
[Sorry, Soundwave, he runs his mouth a bit. It's probably a normal thing for him. Handshake time! With the big bot taking care not to squish anything or be overly enthusiastic about it.]
Whoa, hey. That literally makes my life easier. Thanks.
... But back up. Holomatter avatars?
no subject
[Even if he isn’t the chattiest of people, he does spend a lot of time around Laserbeak and Buzzsaw. Who pretty much always have a running commentary. Roller’s chattering is no where near that level. That said, he does appreciate the larger bot not crushing his hand. He kind of needs his hands for things.]
You are welcome.
They are solid-light projections used to blend in with organic species. Human should be of an appropriate scale for the majority of the ship.
