[ 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.

We are almost to our first destination, which, unfortunately, is only one stop along the way. There is no way to calculate the exact length of time yet, there are too many unknown variables, but be assured that we are attempting to make this journey short.

What sort of equipment can you drive?

[vengeance_driven]

[He guesses he should switch to voice too, then. Which means he gets treated to that thick Balkan accent, which at this point sounds very, very tired. Not sleepy tired, just emotionally withered.]

You name it, I can learn to drive it. I assume your equipment is not exactly the same as what I have been getting around on, but I have a lot of practice with different things.

Anything you have given so far seems better than what I was doing, but I would like to have something I am good at, at least.

[hohnkai]

Your current job fell into the category of what needed filled, so we placed you there, but if you think your talents find you better suited to another position. Then we want to accommodate that.

In the cargo bay we have machines for transporting supplies. Perhaps you could drive one of those?

[vengeance_driven]

The best skill I have is that I know what vodka will make you go blind in one eye.

I would be better at something like that.

[hohnkai]

I understand. We'll need you to maintain, to the best of your ability, your current position until it is filled by another crew member. However, your new job title and duties are as follows.

Cargo Bay Technician : Duties include repairs and maintenance of transportation equipment, loading and unloading supplies during on planet exploration and gathering trips, and assisting other crew that work within the cargo bay with inventory and cleaning tasks.

[vengeance_driven]

Thank you.

We got a place where we can practice fighting, by the way? Something in case something bad comes up one day? I'm sure you'll have military and security guys, but I am from place where everyone had to be able to fight.

[hohnkai]

You're welcome.

There were crew assigned to those sort of positions, but we encourage all crew members to practice. You can train in the rec area, or any number of open spaces. It is also possible to designate an area, if the request is made, and the inclination to clean and then supervise such an area was brought forward.

[vengeance_driven]

[and then he goes back to text.]

I will consider that when I have a good chance to look around the ship.

[hohnkai]

Yes, do that. Is there anything else I can help you with?

[vengeance_driven]

Is there any way that I could have some letters sent to my mother? And get some objects recovered from where I was before?

They are very important. They are among the last of their kind to exist.

[hohnkai]

Your mother. Yes, this is what we can do.

The Ingress pulls items, as well as people. Transporting both back is complicated, and we've never been successful, but if you were to give us your letters, we would attempt to send them through. You would never know for certain if she got them until you return home yourself.

As for getting certain things from other places, we can't really control that. You can ask for them, in as much detail as possible, and then if they appear, they will be placed inside the box outside your room.

[ooc: when the resources open, you can request anything you want for your character.]

[vengeance_driven]

I will not be returning home, even if it was done so easily. It sounds as if I have a better chance of sending her things than before.



OOC: Thank you, I'll definitely make some requests when they open.

[hohnkai]

All we can do is try. When you have need of of our help, you only have to ask.
