⚍⚍ INCOMING TRANSMISSION ⚎⚎

[The feed begins abruptly. All crew members' MIDs flash red text across the screen, a high pitched alert sound erupting from the device. A man with tanned skin and white hair addresses the Moira as a whole.]

It has come to our attention that your ship has visited our planet once before. That your crew, though less in size than it is now, removed priceless glass works and various supplies without payment or any sort of agreement.

You are not welcome here any longer! [His face is flushed a deep crimson. They don't abide rule breaking or stealing.] Your crew has four days to be off Caducus Primary.

[Which was kinder than they deserved, but it was their way. The man doesn't give his name but he exudes authority and anger. He is displeased and disgruntled.]

Do you understand?

⚍⚍ END TRANSMISSION ⚎⚎

[ ooc: feel free to address the representative from Caducus Primary. he'll answer inquiries as he sees fit and with a noticeable amount of misplaced disdain and anger.]

EXCUSE ME?!?!

Do I look like the kind of bot who would go around stealing fancy statues? I wasn't even on this boat before I wound up on your planet! You're just gonna punish all of us for something we didn't do? It ain't right, man.

How can we possibly allow any of you to stay along with the others? We are giving you time to gather your people and leave, that is more than kind of us.

[metabee]

Because we're innocent, that's how. Do you even know who the culprits are? How do you know it wasn't some other spaceship that just happens to look exactly like this one?

[savrou_npc]

The culprits are on your ship. The Moira. As well as our glass works. We know this to be true. Ships are never completely similar and this one stands out.

[metabee]

If you know who did it why not just drag them out and get your stuff? I don't see why the rest of us have to be lumped in with those creeps.

[savrou_npc]

There is more at play than a simple return of stolen goods. Often there are times when an object is different than it appears and is altered simply by who holds it, the means in which it enters their hands. What they've done is unforgivable and not a repairable action.

Leaving is all that can be done now.

[metabee]

[ Woah. Deep. ]

Dude, if you don't want your paperweights back that's fine by me. But I'm not gonna stand here and let some space-man go around calling me a thief just cause I decided to get on the spaceship that can get me back home.

[savrou_npc]

Then I retract my statement that you are a thief by your own choice and merely say that you are one by association instead.

[metabee]

What?! No! How is that any better?

I wouldn't even be in this mess if it weren't for your magic space portal! You stole me from my home, that makes you thieves! Not me!

[savrou_npc]

We didn't steal you. The Ingress is its own technology. Advanced and beyond our understanding. It is here to make transportation of both cargo and personnel easier, but has not been functioning correctly.

You came through and we didn't cause that!

[metabee]

Rriiiigghht.

So you didn't choose to take me from my home. You're just thieves by association.

[ Two can play at that game, rep.]

[savrou_npc]

The Ingress is on our planet, but we didn't place it here. We are not associated with the creators or the instillation. There is no association to speak of.

Do you really believe that it was ours, or anyone's, choice to bring you here?

[metabee]

I'm just sayin' if you live in glass houses, you shouldn't throw stones.

I'm going where the working Ingress is, not my fault that the way to get there is on this ship, since you guys apparently aren't gonna be any help.

Someone's gotta be behind this whole mess. Your planet, your space portal, your fault.

[savrou_npc]

[A joke he's never heard before. He deadpans, barely refraining from rolling his eyes.]

That is the Moira's destination?

[His eyes widen in surprise.]

To the creators?

[metabee]

Ugh. I guess?

You'd have to ask the captains, man.

[savrou_npc]

I'll do that. Thank you.

[metabee]

Are these creator guys something special, or something?

[savrou_npc]

They are the most intelligent beings we've ever encountered. They created the Ingress technology which expanded our universe.

[metabee]

They're that smart and they didn't think to leave an instruction manual?
