Video - Post arrival at the Moira

[prorenataa]

[ It's been a struggle, through the deep mire of apathy, exhaustion and a sense of crushing futility.

Adrien had thrown himself a right proper tantrum for most of the period from stumbling out of the Ingress until they got to the husk of the Moira. There had been no magic moment that had reinvigorated him, no pep talk ... or even proper coffee.

Part of him wanted to stay down on the floor. Hard to tell what got him to his feet but by the time the video clicked on, the doctor was just that; on his feet. As was usual with his videos, once he established the connection, he set the TAB down on the table. With the damage to the ship it might be hard to tell where he was but a good guess would be, MedBay. ]

Alright. I don't know about anyone else but I've enjoyed myself a right proper pity party for the past ... who the fuck knows. However long it's been since we came through the Ingress to get here to the Moira.

Not important.

What is important is the fact that we appear to have been 'returned to sender' without a proper forwarding address.

I'm curious; what do we have, what do we need? Who is pursuing what in terms of a course of action to get us back on our feet? And if you are doing anything, do you need any help?

I'll go first.

I got to what's left of the MedBay. It's not in great shape but it's serviceable. I packed a couple of pacdiscs with some medical supplies before I left Kauto, so if anyone is in need of treatment, we may be able to help. As for assistance, the MedBay could benefit from any and all hands that have any medical knowledge, ability, or fuck it if you won't pass out at the sight of blood and want to help.

[ There was a pause, somewhere off screen he may have been rubbing his eyes. Trying to think of anything else to say, before closing. ]

Okay so ... that's medical. Who'd like to go next? [ Another pause and then a mutter. ] Please let it be someone with coffee.

[OOC: This post is intended to encourage all the thread-hopping and thread-jacking!

Things learned so far:

1) The characters are a little a lot cracked around the edges.
2) Shepard is hating on puzzling over locked doors and that pesky 'turned around' habit of the Moira's.
3) Shiro is discussing a distress beacon & possibly collecting items from home
4) There is an offer of instant and also regular coffee. ]

Wires and paneling and not much else.

Maybe if we get some more parts we can collaborate and get a signal boosted off the planet through the storms.

[squadgoals]

We can call that "plan B".

I'm still interested in seeing if we can push through to the Ingress room. There has to be something we're missing.

[shiro2hero]

What have we tried so far?

[Sorry ma'am it's hard to focus when you're cashing from space coffee and also having a minor emotional breakdown, whoops.]

[squadgoals]

Going there.

So far, it's not working out, no matter what route we choose. The ship loops us around.

[Eight months later, same Wackadoo Moira stuff, she guesses.]

[prorenataa]

We need to keep trying, which I expect you've already ascertained but I'm just here to ... support.

[squadgoals]

Didn't I JUST say that




I did!!

I'm glad we're on the same page Adrien

[shiro2hero]

Like before.

When the ship started

I don't know how to describe it other than it was warping in and out of time

[squadgoals]

Or when you'd walk through one door, and end up somewhere else.

Time-space issues are hardly new to this ship, as we all know — all of which were debatably caused by the Ingress, making for a pretty good argument that it's still going.

[shiro2hero]

Still going, and apparently doing its best to keep us away from it, for whatever reason.

If we do get to it, does anyone know how to key in coordinates for anywhere else?




It's not voice activated is it?

[prorenataa]

[ Rudely butts right in. Doesn't matter, it's just Shepard he's cutting off. ]

Yes. We decrypted the symbols used for setting coordinates in the Ingress.

It's how we ended up at the MidWay Hub in the first place.

[ Also how they ended up crashing but ... details. ]

[shiro2hero]

[Info is info.]

Do we have any for Thisavrou?

... because if we do, I'm not sure if I'd suggest going back just yet.

[squadgoals]

I don't think so. But I don't think we have any, if it wiped.

[shiro2hero]

Of course it is.

I guess we try everything we can, then.

[squadgoals]

It's all we've ever been able to do.

Made it this far, though. I feel like our chances are OK.

[shiro2hero]

What doesn't kill you, right?

[squadgoals]

Not 100% true.

Sometimes that makes you stronger, too.

[shiro2hero]

Dying ....?

[squadgoals]

Dying.







Whooooo wants coffee??

[shiro2hero]

Me

Please
