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.

"Is anyone investigating these occurances, someone I could speak to and gain a little more information?" From how the station was run, he wasn't expecting a positive answer, but it didn't hurt to ask.

"Personally, I don't know, but I had to guess I'd look for Commander Shepard or any of the Normandy crew. Outside of that we're virtually on our own, especially when it concerns the Omega-4 relay." that was her best guess but she wouldn't hold her breath on getting much in the way of information.

"Thank you, for the information. I'll be sure to seek out more intel on this phenomenon at a later time."

His posture changed as he considered his next question, shifting his weight slightly as he glanced around the shuttle bay, catching sight of the other new arrivals.

"If there is no way off the station, so you have any general advice or is there any recommended process for newly displaced persons?"

[spinelessdecoder]

"My advice would be to find a job and a place to sleep for now. We've been give Zeta district to call our own. Just find a vacant apartment, some furniture and get a good lock. That district isn't the safest."

Following his gaze to the other new arrivals, Pax couldn't help but know how crappy everything must seem for the majority of them.

He gave a small hiss in frustration, rubbing his beak on the back of his wrist. If she was suggesting finding a job then he was likely going to be stuck here far longer than he intended.

"Would you be able to offer direction to this Zeta district?"

[spinelessdecoder]

"I can walk you down there if you want, not much else for me to do here since I don't see who I was looking for. If not just take the lift over there down to Zeta, it's marked on the buttons."

She'll gesture behind her to where the elevator was, the only indication it was there was the slightly different stained metal against the rest of it.

[xudarlantern]

He looked over to where she was gesturing, frowning as he managed to pick out the elevator form the rest of the wall. If the rest of the station shared this design, navigating it would be a little more difficult than he anticipated.

"A guide would be most appreciated, if it won't trouble you too much."
