[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 narrows her eyes, curious.]

Do they often get new... employees all at once? I was nearly alone. [Again, she hides Murphy's identity out of some frustrated sense of protection.]
shiro2hero: (stop hacking into the castle!)

[personal profile] shiro2hero 2016-08-30 06:08 am (UTC)(link)
I don't know.

[There had been a lot of people when he'd woken up here, but no one ever mentioned whether or not that was normal.]

They didn't tell us that kind of thing.
snaphiss: (2345)

[personal profile] snaphiss 2016-08-30 11:21 pm (UTC)(link)
[Mara groans.] They don't tell us much of anything. I hope you haven't bought into them.
shiro2hero: (disappointed dad eyebrows)

[personal profile] shiro2hero 2016-08-31 03:56 am (UTC)(link)
What do you mean by 'bought into them'?
snaphiss: haha i have never ever made a mistake in my life. (84364)

[personal profile] snaphiss 2016-08-31 09:53 pm (UTC)(link)
[Mara rolls her eyes like someone very practiced at eye-rolling, which she is.] What do you think I mean?
shiro2hero: (yeah huh interesting go on)

[personal profile] shiro2hero 2016-09-01 04:05 am (UTC)(link)
I have an idea, but I'd like to hear your version for clarity.

[He says with the look of someone way too used to practiced eye-rolling.]
snaphiss: (2345)

[personal profile] snaphiss 2016-09-02 12:29 am (UTC)(link)
Don't be cheeky, [that's her thing. For extra paranoia, she transmits her answer mentally.] ( If you want to take what they give you lying down, so be it. It's your problem, not mine. )
shiro2hero: (no burning down the Garrison!!)

[personal profile] shiro2hero 2016-09-02 05:36 am (UTC)(link)
[That's. Still not a good feeling. He's only ever used it with Pidge -- someone he trusts absolutely. The voice in his head makes him take a half-step back, regardless.]

I didn't have a choice.
snaphiss: (me and judi dench are starting a gang.)

[personal profile] snaphiss 2016-09-02 11:13 pm (UTC)(link)
[Mara, cold and uncompromising, applies her code to everyone.] You always have a choice.
shiro2hero: (dah nuh dah nuh jaws theme)

[personal profile] shiro2hero 2016-09-03 12:21 am (UTC)(link)
[There is a reason he's holding himself apart. Throttling everything down. The reason is the flash of memory he can't quite subdue, that pops up at her words. It's something dark, something like a mutated, twisted version of Galra's druids, seizing Allura... converging on where Keith is ... attempting to break down the door of a room, where the other three are crouched, with Pidge hammering away on a keyboard with desperation, while Lance and Hunk ... on where Coran is trying to man the defenses alone...]

[It's quick. But there, and steel rings the images. Fits into his response.]


I didn't.

[Not if he wanted them all to live.]

[personal profile] snaphiss 2016-09-05 03:15 pm (UTC)(link)
[Mara, always alone, hadn't considered them using others as collateral. The idea sends a spike of rage coursing though her, burning through their link. How dare they.]

[She mutters grimly,]
They won't stop at anything, will they.
shiro2hero: (my handsome will save us)

[personal profile] shiro2hero 2016-09-06 12:02 am (UTC)(link)
[Another step back. He knows full well distance won't help. But that hardly stops him from trying. He doesn't want that anger. Doesn't want anyone else's feelings. Not until he knows he can control himself.]

You think they're the ones trying to kill my team?
snaphiss: (me and judi dench are starting a gang.)

[personal profile] snaphiss 2016-09-06 04:48 pm (UTC)(link)
[Mara shakes her head, and switches to the mental link. This conversation is getting into vulnerable territory.]

( No. They're trying to use them, obviously. That's why you're here. )
shiro2hero: (what do you mean DILF ????)

[personal profile] shiro2hero 2016-09-07 02:22 am (UTC)(link)
Because out of everyone in the galaxy they could have chosen, they picked me. Sure.

[It's quiet, but verbal. He's not good with keeping his thoughts and feelings separate enough for a conversation like this. Not steady enough. Especially when his crew is the subject.]

[Sore spot, much? When you don't want to believe you might have made a bad call. Might have put them all in more danger while trying to save them.]


If they wanted hostages, I can think of three people off the top of my head better than me for that.
