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 own There 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. ) C R O M I A While exhibits or museums exist to commemorate people or objects, planets like this are designed as a memoriam for certain eras across the universe. Welcome to Cromia—a one-of-a-kind place set in medieval times. Sort of. Most technology on Cromia isn’t particularly advanced, and the fashion leaves little to be desired. However, one thing is very noticeable about this planet once you decide to explore: there are no organic people anywhere to be found. Cromia is inhabited by a race of intelligent, humanoid robots who tend to and care for the environment as well as live peacefully with one another. Yet, some have been programmed to show a certain disdain for those who are, in some way, living, and their hostility ranges between hurling insults and vegetables to reporting trespassers to the authorities. Besides that, all seems well and prosperous on Cromia. ☄ the emperor’s new servos The Royal Family of Cromia has extended an invitation to join them for festivities, food, and drink beginning when the first sun sets. This night is a way to relax and perhaps romance that special someone in your life with a little song and dance. For those who sample certain drinks, they might find themselves doing just that without being able to help themselves. Or perhaps that delicious wine you've heard so much about is actually a very oily concoction meant for the robots of Cromia. For others, a little cheese or venison might instill the need for fisticuffs. Could the desserts hold the same sort of enchantment? Do you dare to find out? ☄ catch-a-riiiide The fastest way to get around is via carriage in the city, and each city is pulled by a large insectoid cyborg. Their handlers assure you they’re quite tame, especially since their silly organic minds have been implanted with a control chip. They’ll take you to whatever destination you program in without a hiccup! What could go wrong? Except on the way, that ever-so-important control chip happens to malfunction. Your once docile bug-stallion is now running amok down the streets. Do you jump out before you meet a sticky end? Or do you take control and force it to stop? Either way, you aren’t likely to be getting your deposit back from this. ☄ taste the rainbow Archery. Bugback riding. Jousting. These are the typical leisure activities suiting the time period you now find yourself in, which is what you might assume when you see the banners denoting a competition. Anyone can enter. Anyone can win the prizes. When you ask what sport you’ll have to play, they just say one word: skittles. Similar to bowling, this sport is played on a long, flattened field, and the point of it is to use the wooden ball to knock over the "skittles" that are set up in increasingly complex patterns for each round. These skittles are also made of wood, exactly ten feet high each, and the balls used vary from the size of a golf ball to a canon ball (dealer’s choice on ball size). People are usually split into teams, but for the sake of the competition, everyone plays alone. Whoever gets the most points moves forward in the competition, and hope that there are no accidents mid-throw!

[Strangely enough, Starscream has been the only one to outright tell him that. Sure, he's gotten the general message that Tarn is bad news, but no one's really told him to avoid him altogether. Probably because most of them assume he has common sense.]

...

You know.

I never really asked.

Sometimes you just happen to find yourself inside a whale. It's the kind of thing that happens to people. A couple months ago everyone got romantically paired up with someone else, so you just accept these things and move on.

[iseedeadbees]

[wow Tailgate your friends are all idiots. Just throwin' that out there.]

In my experience, that's not the kind of thing that just happens. Though I suppose getting caught inside of a whale isn't the strangest thing that's ever happened to Megatron.

[daintylegs]

I bet a lot of weird things happen to you when you lead an army for four million years.

[Tailgate is curious though, because he kind of specifically wants to know what kind of weird things can happen to you during a four million year war.]

Like having someone like Tarn want to kill you for abandoning your own cause. It just occurred to me... Tarn said he kills people who abandons the Decepticons, so if you're not a Decepticon anymore, does that mean...?

[He's decides that he likes Starscream, and would be sad if Tarn turns him to scrap metal. Or at least mildly regretful.]

[iseedeadbees]

You have no idea.

[Starscream may not have been the big boss but he'd definitely been close enough to the top to see all the wackiest bullshit first hand. But moving on, he looks a teeny bit startled for a second, like this horrible thing had just dawned on him. Oh hecky.]

I suppose that would put me on the list, yes. Honestly, the only Cybertronian here that's probably safe is Soundwave.

[daintylegs]

Well good for Soundwave.

[He looks very cross about all of this. It's so frustrating to have this giant purple murder cloud hovering over everything. All Tailgate wants it to have a generally nice time.]

If anything does happen with Tarn, I bet Megatron will be on him in a second. We'll just have to trust that Megatron knows what he's doing.

[iseedeadbees]

[It is good for Soundwave, and Starscream's already trying to think up some way to make this work to his advantage. Or at least he was until Tailgate brought Megatron back up]

Tch. We have four million years worth of history that make it rather apparent that Megatron has no idea what he's doing.

[daintylegs]

[Tailgate's first instinct is to jump to Megatron's defense, but how do you defend against a civil war?]

He's the biggest person on the ship. Generally speaking, I think he's the only person who can handle Tarn.

Unless you're a lot stronger than you look?

[iseedeadbees]

[You don't HAH Starscream wins.]

I wouldn't be able to stop Tarn, not physically. I'm well aware of my limits. If it comes down to throwing punches, I'd say Tarn and Megatron are probably pretty evenly matched. If they did end up fighting, though, I imagine they'd take half this ship down with them. Doesn't matter who wins, we all still lose.

[daintylegs]

...

But it'd be really cool to watch.

[That right there is the most immediately silver line Tailgate can think of.]

[iseedeadbees]

[Starscream cannot argue with this.]

...Maybe. From a distance.

Either way, my point is that something needs to be done before it reaches that point.

[daintylegs]

What do you have in mind?

[Tailgate is down for solving the problem without violence. At least he hopes Starscream's solution doesn't involve violence.]

[iseedeadbees]

Mm, well. Seeing as I only just got here, that's something I still need to work out. Not to worry, though. I'll figure something out. Maybe a few somethings.

[Violence is still on the table sorry little dude]
