[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 newfamily 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.

Yeah.
[ Identifiers like "fine" and "okay" had lost their meaning a long time ago. They'd narrowed down to simply "are you breathing and relatively unhurt?" ]
They got food. And a working shower.
[ Bellamy rattles off those facts mostly because he doesn't know what else to say. It had been difficult to talk to Murphy before they'd gotten stuck in each other's heads. ]
no subject
[Murphy bounces back, tone dry. All the comforts and luxuries are nice, and yeah, he fully intends to take advantage of them. But they aren't coming for free.]
no subject
[ Bellamy's mixed feelings about it pulse through the connection. Fighting for the rights of AIs isn't easy, but he hates the ugly viciousness of the opposition too much to stand by. It's an uncomfortable muddle. ]
We'll get through it. What they want us to do isn't impossible.
[ The optimism sounds hollow. Bellamy isn't as good at inspirational speeches anymore. ]
no subject
Sure, maybe this time.
[This time it wasn't impossible. This time they'd get through it. Murphy hasn't even paid enough attention to what they want them to do to know if what Bellamy's said is true or overoptimistic. That isn't the point.]
Do you think it's over when this is done? They pulled us into a war.
no subject
And there was no way out of it. ]
It's never going to be over, [ He concedes, blunt. ] We don't get to go back.
[ Carata had been clear. The connection was all but completely severed. Their lives on the ground were over. This was all they had now. Bellamy was still grieving for what he'd left behind, but he couldn't let himself wish for any one of the people he was missing to join him here. Their people didn't deserve to spend a lifetime fighting another war. ]
So we deal with it. We figure out how to survive, right?
[ What a great pep talk. ]
no subject
The surprise is Bellamy thinking Murphy would do the same.]
Did you check I'm who you remember? I'm not interested in playing along.
[And so far there hadn't been threat enough to force it.]
