welcome to omega, round two.

[ceoqueen]

who. everyone!
what. in which the new arrivals join the outsiders.
where. landing pads for new arrivals, who then head through the markets to the residential area.
when. today!
warnings. n/a

This time, when the shuttles arrive, the landing pad isn't so empty. There was no saying these people wouldn't show up again, and though Aria isn't going to be happy that they appear to be coming on a schedule while the rest of the system is grounded, there doesn't appear that there's much to be done about it. A group of her batarian agents are there to escort incomers off the ship; some are taken aside for questioning, but when it's clear they know nothing of their origins, they're let go. Some new arrivals may notice that these shuttles don't simply depart -- a number of them are escorted off by other shuttles, deeper into the station.

After that, though, there's little the batarians can do about them. They're sent towards the residential district by way of the markets and financial sectors. The housing areas they arrive in aren't in the best of shape; while there are other outsiders to this galaxy already at work trying to repair the damage, others aren't bothering with it at all.

This is Omega. If you don't find some way to pull your weight, you'll be dead in no time.

[Ah but the thing is Steve doesn't know it worked out in the end. He only knows that Tony is irritating, just as he had been on the Helicarrier and nothing else.]

I hope so, I think he could do a lot of good if he put his mind to it.

[Now that he can help with.]

We have an extra bedroom. You're welcome to it. [Then someone other than him can keep an eye on Tony.]

[itsnoteasybeing]

I'll keep that in mind.

[ He was expecting this to be a temporary thing, but if they're already settling in long term, Bruce figures he might as well join the fray on that front. ]

So what exactly do we do here, sit and rebuild? Make this place ours?

[starspangledspandex]

I'm sure Tony would be happy if you'd join us and affording rent here isn't easy.

[Please come cheer Tony up. He's tired of staring at the shut door.]

For now, we can't do much else. Until we know more about why we're here we need shelter and food. I think we all hope to go home but nobody knows how.

[itsnoteasybeing]

I'd be happy to. [ Provided they don't mind the other guy, but that's another story. He could keep to himself as needed, but the company -- Steve's and Tony's both, was something he thought he could handle for the sake of simply getting by. ]

Food and shelter I can definitely do, living on my own's been one of those things I can handle.

Great, we're up in 089-F. The doors work a little strangely. Tony says there is some kind of code to lock the door through these. [He glances down at the omni-tool.] I was showed how to close it but I don't know if there's something you have to set-up.

[Don't ask him. He only knows that it works.]

Place is a mess. Needs some work on the plumbing.

[itsnoteasybeing]

I’ll take a look when I can.

[ Especially with the commentary on the plumbing, because he knows he’ll be rooting around in there until matters get resolved. Seems to be his role nowadays, being the jack of all trades kind of guy who does whatever he can to survive.

It’s a funny position to be in, given how far he’s fallen but it doesn’t put him off all that much in the slightest. ]

The door sounds like a fun time.

[starspangledspandex]

Tony was excited about it. He's already started messing around.

[Steve had frowned but so long as the man doesn't break it--which he seriously doubts--he doesn't really care.

He hadn't really meant for Bruce to be the one looking. He'd only been making sure he'd known about the trouble before signing on to live with them. He's sure they could find a real space plumber.]

I've been straightening things up as much as I can.

[itsnoteasybeing]

[ He can tell Tony would make a comment about Steve not pulling his weight, but Bruce refrains. Sometimes just the sheer presence around is enough for him to keep going. ]

One big happy family, huh? [ At least that's what it sounds like to him, as Bruce glances around, trying to figure out how it came to that; from a ticking time bomb to the avengers and now this. ]

[starspangledspandex]

[Steve can only do so much. He's more the muscle than anything. This is what happens when people from two completely different lifestyles are forced to work together. Sorry Bruce.]

Seems that way.

[He shakes his head.]
