[ Every MID recieves this message as soon as an individual leaves the medbay. ]

Hello, and welcome.

As I know you are beginning to feel the effects of Ingress travel, I will keep this brief and to the point. By now, most of you are aware that this is not your home, and if you are not, I would like to stress the importance of this fact. All details have been outlined to you in the contract each of you has already signed, and I hope you will come to know the Moira as your second home as we journey forward. Everyone must do their part for this voyage to succeed. Those who do not wish to follow this straightforward rule shall be dealt with accordingly.

Please direct any questions or concerns to either myself or one of the other captains. We are as interested in going home as you are.

[ The bottom of the message is simply signed Cúrre. ]

[Well. This is just. Fucking. Peachy.]

Dealt with accordingly. Ominous.

Any ETA on that going home part? I've got an entire planet to protect. The job doesn't come with paid time off for extradimensional vacations.

[There's a pause between texts.]

Second. Is this MID going to explode in my face if I make some modifications? Form, not function. No offense, but it'll get in my way as-is. [He's got a robot arm. What good is a robot arm if you can't possibly build your communication device right into your wrist?]

[hownkai]

There is no current ETA. Travel will depend on the speed and efficiency of the crew itself, and when we are aware of a specific time, it shall be announced to everyone aboard.

Modifications for an alternate MID are underway. If requested, it can be replaced. Changing it on your own will only damage its functions.

[anotheroldsoldier]

[Of course. Space travel. There's never an ETA.] Roger.

Ye of little faith. Well, I guess consider this an official request for a replacement that doesn't tie up my fingers. [Okay he might have been assigned to intelligence, but he's an assassin, alright. He needs his hands free.]

[hownkai]

Your request has been noted, Crewman Barnes.

[ She's going to keep an eye on this one. ]

[anotheroldsoldier]

[It's really for the best...]

And the ETA on that replacement? I'm willing to cooperate, but you want me useful.

[There's a 'for now' in that sentence somewhere but he's damn sure not going to say that out loud. Or... type it.]

[hownkai]

Soon. We, of course, want everyone functioning as optimally as possible. You will be contacted upon its completion.

[ It hasn't even been a day. Relax a minute. ]
