watch out for falling space debris.

who. Anyone and everyone on the station.
what. Two shuttles come through the relay. Only one makes it through intact - and it's the one bringing in the new recruits.
where. All around the station, but most of the action will probably take place on and around the landing pads.
when. Right now.
warnings. General, mass hysteria. Not much else.

It's that time again. Time for that shuttle to come through the relay and bring in a new batch of people that don't know where they are or why. This is something that everyone has gotten used to, and doesn't think much of.

This time, though, something is different. And because no one is expecting it, it catches the entire station by surprise. Two shuttles come through the relay, and while that's more than surprising enough, what happens next, no one is expecting.

One of the shuttles explodes. Out in the dead of space between the relay and the station, it bursts into a thousand smaller pieces. The debris left behind tells nothing of what had been on the shuttle, or who for that matter, but the fact remains that this wasn't supposed to happen.

Which means people are going to wonder why it happened in the first place.

With the newcomers arriving on the station, there's going to be enough confusion going on, but with the shuttle explosion tacked on to the end? It's going to raise some suspicion.

This log is not only for the newcomers to mingle about, but also to gauge reactions about the shuttle exploding. To speculate on why it happened, and generally allow for all kinds of reactions all throughout the station. You can assume that by the time the shuttle with our new characters has landed, news of the explosion has travelled through most of the station. Please see the OOC post for more information.

Have fun, and try not to freak out too much.

Well, he doesn't really expect more or less from her. It isn't as though either of them have spent a large amount of time in each other's presence, and given what his now-risen-from-the-dead uncle had put her through, she has every right not to trust him just because they share the same last name.

He knows what he's said is accurate, and the simple fact alone that she refuses to accept them has him wanting to roll his eyes. Peter won't ever apologize for what he's done - why can't she accept this from him regardless of where it's coming from?

His gaze begins to narrow, but he manages to stop himself, because getting irritated with her stubbornness isn't going to help anything. His arms fold across his chest as he says, "But you aren't going to accept that from me."

A statement, not a question. He knows better than to ask.

Her mouth forms a tight line, arms folding over her chest again.

"Not right now, no." It's not to say that she hasn't heard them or that she doesn't appreciate his attempt, but truthfully she feels as though she forced them out of him. That she asked him plainly what he thought she needed to hear. To her this is what he believes she needs to hear and in her mind it lessens the meaning. It's also not his apology to make and she knows that Derek realizes that.

There's not really left to say. Nothing that he can explain for her. The lies came from her friends and Stiles already covered his part of it. That's all she can expect right now.

The one thing that's in her mind right now is the fact that he's here and what that could mean if Peter ever showed up. There's also the thought that what is Derek going to do here? Is he really going to try and find a way to create more werewolves? Can he even do that here?

All questions to ask Stiles, which she's planning on doing shortly.

She hasn't really forced anything out of him. But given the fact that she hasn't had anyone tell her much of anything since all of this started, he doesn't expect a few words out of his mouth to have much meaning.

He nods at her response, understanding. There isn't anything he can do about how she feels, how left out of the loop she's been. No one in her circle of friends trusts him, despite the fact that there had been a tentative alliance between all of them when they'd been dealing with Jackson - but that's all behind him, and though he's tried to make amends for something that he isn't even responsible for, there's nothing left to say.

She might have questions about his intentions here on the station, but if he's entirely honest, he doesn't even know what he's going to do here. Once he's figured out how things operate, what he can do - it might be different, but for the moment, he's just as clueless as everyone else that had come off that shuttle.

"Fine," he finally says, after a few moments of silence. His expression has melted back into something more neutral, less insightful as to what's going on in his head.

Drawing in a slow deep breath, she watches him. Then, for some unknown reason she decides to ask him a question. Maybe it's the morbid part of her, but she just isn't sure what else to do except stare at him. Maybe that's why he does it so often -- he just never knows what to say to people.

"What's the last thing you did before you came here?" She's waiting for it to be that he killed Jackson or that he'd been in the ruins of his house while she raised his uncle from the dead.
