Survival is the exception "living is an act of courage." THROUGH THE INGRESS 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 rocky planet. Former crew of the Moira are there to greet you, and it’s a grim message they have to share. The Moira has crashed and is beyond repair, but there’s good news... the destination the crew has been heading towards for over a year? You’re standing on it. But before you get into exploration and survival, it’s best to deal with the effects of coming through a broken Ingress. ☄ slip and trip find your footing fast Coming through the Ingress has left your character with one of three changes - an age slip, a form of body horror, or an extreme weakness. The first, the age slip, will mean that the character is either older or younger and this change can’t be rectified during their first month in game. The second, body horror, comes in the form of an alteration to the character's body due to whatever they were carrying at the time they came through. If they were wearing a watch, it’s now fused to their wrist, clothes are permanent, knifes replace fingers, and many other alterations (anything goes) and it lasts the first month as well. The third, extreme weakness, can be a mental or physical decrease - weaker arms, legs, or the weaker ability to talk or do math. ooc: the choice of change is up to each player and this prompt can be game canon. ☄ introductions aren’t awkward as long as you don’t shake their hand too long A new planet. Physical and mental changes. Talk of a ship that crashed and a Hub that is home to the ‘creators’ of a technology you’ve never heard of. A lot is happening and the best way to sort through it is by getting to know the Moira’s crew. They’ll help you settle in and get you any care you might need, all the while informing you that the group is on its way to the center of the hub. Something that might seem mundane is an absolute necessity for survival. Ask a seasoned space traveling veteran for answers and guidance. ooc: this prompt can be game canon. ☄ dealer's choice just make the right one Characters have the option of coming through an Ingress that is any possible location on this planet. It can be inside a cave, at the top of a rock formation, etc. This means you can have your character have to climb or slide down, have them yelling for help, and have other characters see them and come to their aid. Your character's arrival is completely up to you, and since this is a unique situation that hasn't happened before, go nuts with it! ooc: this prompt can be game canon.

[ How anyone could ever forget a voice or accent like that? Definitely not Elena Fisher.

Lucky for Chloe, she's close by when she hears her firing out the question and not exactly sounding pleased. Not that Elena can blame the poor gal. ]

Chaos. Ship crash landing. Amongst other things.

[ As much as she'd love to pull her in for a hug, so thrilled to see her, Elena hangs back instead, left arm in a sling and her right one bandaged at the bicep. She looks like she's in rough shape and yet there's a warm but tired smile beaming Chloe's way. ]

Are you all right? Nothing broken?

[nicearsenal]

[Oh Chloe recognises that voice too, and isn't she pleased to hear it. She looks up, already smiling but when she takes in the banged up appearance of the other woman, the smile slips.]

Jesus, I should be asking you that. You look like you've been in the wars yourself.

[Hugging in this situation would be a terrible idea, but a tentative hand on the right shoulder and a light kiss on the cheek? That can't hurt. She'll go with that.]

Don't tell me we need to start putting you in bubble wrap.

[tearsinajar]

Hit a few snags in the road. At least I got to walk Nate through putting back in a dislocated shoulder without making it worse.

[ Elena would've honestly welcomed the embrace but she leans into the touch at her cheek, and hopes her smile is somewhat reassuring if not tired. Her bandaged arm comes up though for a careful hug; it's good to have another friendly face around, especially someone she knows will have her back in a tight spot.

Easing back, she chuckles and this time grins. ]

Where was that bubble wrap back in Shambhala? If I can survive a grenade blast then I'm sure I'll get through this.

[nicearsenal]

[Chloe responds to the tentative hug with a light pat on the small of the other woman's back and lets her go with an equally warm grin.]

You're a trouble magnet, sunshine, maybe we shouldn't let you out in public without protection. Or a medical team.

[tearsinajar]

Must be why you're here.

[ Nate must've been doing a crapshoot job. It was like Shambhala all over again. Minus all the blood. ]
