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.

Normally, Lydia might have a slight inkling of what's going on, but she's been out of the loop for a week and still trying to settle into her day to day life.

"Honestly? Not really. I'm still trying to learn about all the different aliens here."

"You haven't been here very long then?" Elena tilts her head a little. Part of her hopes the answer is yes because there's something reassuring that. But another part of her hopes the answer is no because that's more reassuring that at least one of them has an idea of how to navigate this place.

Lydia shakes her head, "A few months. I suffered some memory loss recently, so the last week is slightly blurry."

It's the easiest way to explain that she had been unconscious and dreaming of being back home.

"You're okay now, right?" Elena's brow furrows a little. They just met, but that doesn't really stop Elena from being concerned. But it's also just generally good to know whether or not this place was going to turn into Momento at a moment's notice.
