my evil twin, bad weather friend
"I know someday I'll meet him, but I don't know where or when."
ABOARD THE MOIRAThe 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. 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. You may notice a slight change in the artificial gravity every once in awhile; however, more noticeable changes can be found in overall morale of those of the crew.
☄ 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. ) Every day, the ship gets closer to its destination: the Midway Hub.
Answers as to how to the fix the broken Ingress and send everyone home are sought there. Your captains, both old and new, have been working together peacefully to make the trip a little easier, though events occur that are well outside of their control. After having made the last cargo supply stop at the Mini Colony, the Moira and its crew are on the last stretch of its journey. The Ingress, for the majority of the time, is left off and only turned back on during testing; that's when new crew and other items come through.
It's October on the Moira, and it's been far, far too peaceful..
☄ older and far less kindget clowned when I come aroundOn one of the ship's many stops, a group of sentient, flying whale-type natives were stumbled upon. They were friendly, although unfortunately hunted for a substance they produce, and the crew paid a group of mercenaries to keep these beings safe. Now, early afternoon, red lights begin to flash, and Captain Ira makes an announcement. A gam of a less advanced sub-species of those gentle giants is in the ship's path, and crew are told to make their way to the Observation Deck, Tower, and anywhere else that affords them a view of space. When the beings move closer to the Moira, the captains send out non-explosive decoys that can be remotely operated by the crew—lead these beings away from the ship so that the Moira can safely pass through.
☄ graveyard smashi was working in the lab, late one nightLet's set the scene. It's early in the morning. Those who don't sleep or sleep very little already know what's going on as they've been roped into helping by the Captains. Everyone else wakes to a surprise. Some universes celebrate holidays like Halloween or Samhain, and this one is no different. First Mate Egan's home is known for honoring the dead on October 15th of every year, and after approaching the other Captains, they've decided to celebrate it on the Moira. The observation deck is decorated with candles and lights, music playing in the background.
Small gift boxes are left outside everyone's door; a MID message explains that each crew member is to put something inside and then place them on the observation deck. At the end of the day, each crew takes a random box. A device that alters the gravity around a single object is used to make drinks, food, and gifts and float through the air. Everyone is encouraged to relax and have a good time.
☄ section tunfinished business, that's whatThere are many locations on the ship that are inaccessible, either because they are locked unless crew have clearance or for some an unknown reason. Section T is one of those such areas. Crew are known to get lost in this area, and hear voices, among other things. Having this brought to the Captain's attention, an expedition of sorts ghost hunters in space has been organized, and anyone who wishes to join will be paired up and sent in with their MIDs on alert to track their paths. Not long into the search, it will become clear that something, or someone, is displeased with the large number of people wandering through. Some unlucky crew will stumble across an apparition and those who are luckier won't. It's relatively harmless, and appears to only seek to scare everyone out of Section T.

[He's shaking his head, like that's going to change something.]
I would have understood, Ana.
[It couldn't be any worse than what the others said had become of Reyes, after all.]
no subject
[It played a large part into it, which she could easily explain. And did.]
The moment you would have looked on me in pity....I would have rather died a thousand deaths. No, I needed to suffer alone, even if it meant estranging you later. But that is also something I do not want.
If you are okay with it, we can still make a good team, you and I.
no subject
[But still. He doesn't even know how to respond to this. To this revelation. He'd mourned her with a broken heart the size of a small country. And to find out she'd stayed away to suffer alone?]
[It hurts even more.]
Why would I ever look at you with anything but pride...? Respect? Ana, I could never have pitied you.
... I don't know. Have you seen Fareeha yet?
no subject
[It would have been difficult to tell the whole story either way. With her own reservations plus Reinhardt's own soft heart...she didn't know if she could stand it.]
I have, yes. Her and I...we will have a lot of talking to do. It may be hard at times but we both love each other and that will carry us through.
no subject
[Said soft heart is... aching, right now. He always thought the friendship he'd had with his comrades was enough. Enough to make sure they knew they could trust him with anything.]
[Instead...]
I hope you have a chance to. You deserve it -- the both of you.
no subject
I will have to speak with everyone, including old comrades. They are owed that much. So perhaps I will tell you that story. You deserve as much.
no subject
[It's the least he can do, after all.]
no subject
Cheer up now. There is no sense in dwelling on it until we get to that point. Besides, someone here has to show me around and you are the friendliest face I see.
no subject
[He pauses for a moment, honestly, he's still half-convinced this is just going to be a dream. He'll wake and Ana will still be dead.]
[But then he offers an arm down to her.]
This way then.
