[hatch log] the stealth ship's running out of fuel

CHARACTERS: All
WHERE: The Station + Concordia
WHEN: DAY :29 - :30
SUMMARY: A new brood hatches; two new hosts arrive in Concordia.
WARNINGS: Will update as necessary.






YOU WAKE UP. Something is different - something unnamable, but palpable. You aren't the same person you were the last time you were aware of yourself.

You might not know it right away, though. What you do know: you're in a just slightly claustrophobic compartment. A gentle white light diffuses from the top panel. You're wearing the clothes you remember from wherever you came from. You feel... good - regardless of what condition you might have been in before you came to this place. Whatever injuries you might have had, whatever agony you may have been experiencing, whatever fear dogged your heels, they’re all gone. It’s quiet. Lastly, there’s a faint pinch at the base of your skull. Reach back to it and there's a small cable connected to the base of your neck and running back into the rear wall of the compartment. Disconnect it. Then it’s not so quiet anymore. Wherever here is, you aren't alone. You can feel that in your head: something big taking up space.

Welcome to Station 72, Mara and Murphy. All new hosts will have one day aboard the Station before being whisked off to Concordia to join the others. Get to know one another, ask the guardians of the Station - Prince and Cathaway - any burning questions you might have, explore Station 72. At the end of the day, a slick stealth shuttle will arrive in the hangar to take you to Concordia.

The pilot of the craft of a young man who buzzes across the fresh mental connection. It's loud enough to be irritating; he apologizes for it a few times during the trip through the pieces of the multiverse, as the ship pops into existence over the planet, and descends into the bustling inner city of Concordia in the dark hours of the morning on DAY 30. Nirad lands the stealth craft in a garden district; once you've disembarked, the ship reverts to an autopilot sequence and lifts off of it's own accord.

From there, it's just a short tram ride to the Bearings Apartment block building. The hosts, Nirad explains, have rented out Level 13. There are still some empty rooms there if you want one (you probably want one). That said-- if you don't want to go to Bearings and meet your new family comrades in arms ...friends...?

No one's stopping you. But some of them might come looking.






((OOC Notes: This is a mini-hatch log for Mara Jade and John Murphy; on-Station prompts should be closed to either one another or Station NPCs, but Concordia prompts may be open to everyone.

[Mara rolls her eyes, assuming the girl is being difficult for the sake of it.]

No, understanding the enemy. Can't you see the importance of that?

[ Pidge curls her lip in disgust. She's being difficult, true, but she has a vastly different perspective on this than Mara does. ]

Yes, I do. That doesn't mean anything they do has to make sense to me. There's a difference.

[ That's her story and she's sticking to it. ]

[Mara shakes her head, expression airy and unconcerned.] Then we're just arguing over semantics. You're really spoiling for a fight.

[Pot, kettle, spaceman.]

Remind me which one of us is supposed to be the "adult"?

[ Pidge rolls her eyes. ]

Look, I'm sure you have important reporter things to do, so why don't I just leave you to it?

[ She's one hundred percent sure she'll see Mara at some point anyway. They're in the 'Nest' together, after all. ]

[Mara quirks a brow, and this time it's with genuine annoyance.] The one who doesn't feel the need to make a point of it.

[She rolls her eyes. Who does this kid think she is?] But I guess they don't have manners where you're from. I'll interview more interesting subjects.

Fine by me. At least you won't be wasting my time.

[ Two can play at being catty and insulting, Mara. She raises her hand in a flippant wave and starts sidling past her. ]

I'm sure it'll make a great article.
