[ 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.

Several items are missing from my kit. I demand their return.

[ Not exactly important items, but counting out your gear and coming up short is such a pet peeve. ]

[galalith]

Items lost arriving through the Ingress are currently of unknown location. Should your possessions arrive at a later date they will be delivered to your mailbox promptly. We thank you for your patience in this time of transition, Crewman Ghostshot.

Someone should fix that blasted thing if this is going to be an ongoing problem, but as long as no idiot is mishandling grenades. Fine.

[galalith]

Please be assured we are looking into the matter. Should we locate your possessions they will be returned to you. Ballistics will be monitored once in your care to ensure there is no damage accrued to the ship.

[ Do not blow her up her ship, Rinth. Grenades are bad. ]

[encharrneered]

I'm no amateur. I'm not going to blow the damn place up.

[ Not while she's stuck on it, sheesh. ]

[hohnkai]

What is missing from your kit?

audio;

[encharrneered]

[ Oh, good, this thing has a radio function. ]

Several grenades and a compass. A first aid kit, but that can be replaced the easiest.

audio;

[hohnkai]

I haven't come across any of those yet, but I'll watch for them.

[Especially the grenades.]

Are you familiar with ship living?

audio;

[encharrneered]

[ Good thing they're mostly harmless. ]

No. Anything I need to be aware of?

[hohnkai]

I suppose that depends on what you want to know. There is much you should be aware of.

[encharrneered]

[ Squinting. Text now? ]

1. Where you keep the ship's weapons.
2. If I am allowed to discipline any humans who try to interfere with them or not.

[ Specifically humans because clearly only humans cause trouble. ]

[hohnkai]

Weapons are kept in the main gunnery, bow, and the tower. You may reprimand, at your discretion, any persons attempting to use them without permission. If it necessary, contact one of your fellow crew that work in the hold for further punishment.

[encharrneered]

Under dire circumstances, am I allowed to remove limbs as a form of reprimand?

interrupted audio message;

[hohnkai]

Under dire circumstances, you may use any...

[hownkai]

Absolutely not. Destruction of the ship or other crewmen is strictly prohibited. If there is an issue that cannot be handled in a non-violent manner, request help. There is no need for excessive force.

[encharrneered]

That doesn't sound like what the other one was about to say.

Who gives the orders here?

[hownkai]

We are all of equal standing. However, there are periods in which a specific captain holds final judgment over the others. At the moment, that would be myself.

[encharrneered]

Fine.

But that better not get confusing.

[hownkai]

Each change will be announced accordingly. Thank you for your inquiry.
