who. everyone!
what. entering omega.
where. landing pads
when. today
warnings. none for now

You’re not sure how it happened.

A minute ago, you had somewhere to go, someplace to be. Maybe something important to do, or maybe you were just going out to buy groceries. Whatever it was, it doesn’t matter anymore.

You’re in some kind of transport -- a shuttle, given the turbulence and the sounds outside. You’re surrounded by strangers, some of whom might not even be the same species you are. There’s no point in asking. They don’t know how they got here either. The cockpit’s blocked off, like someone forgot to put in a door, and not even a glance at your omni-tool -- a holographic interface accessible by merely tapping the sensor on your left arm -- is any help.

You’ve only got a minute or so before the shuttle starts descending. There aren’t any windows -- this doesn’t look like a shuttle meant for long trips. When it finally touches down, the doors open automatically.

Before you are landing pads, abandoned equipment scattered about. There are other shuttles landing, and whether you like it or not, you’re going to have to get off before yours dumps you out the door. Turn around, and you’re met with a hazy skyline, only half the buildings seem to be coming from above.

Welcome to Omega.


ooc notes
You’re free to expand past the landing area, but please start all threads here. Please remember that your character will not have housing until Aria makes a post granting it; it’ll be on outsiders and linked here when it goes up.

[ordonaturalis]

[She actually blinks at that. It's true, granted. But still. It takes only a split second to pass.]

Are you seeking friendliness, Shepard? Or would you rather competency?

[fightforthelost]

[He eyes her curiously for the split-second pause.]

A ship, actually. That's all I really want right now.

[He's not going to tell her off again. So, he'll just start walking again, only stopping for a second so she can be at his side.]

[ordonaturalis]

Fair enough. For now.

[She falls into step next to him, privately suspecting they're going to need far more than a ship- or she will, at least. But verbal speculation is a waste of time and effort.]

[fightforthelost]

[Aria's not going to let them into Afterlife just yet, but that's not going to stop Shepard from trying. They've got a ways to go yet anyways.]

You aren't from Earth, are you?

[ordonaturalis]

[Morrigan will try not to mock- no. She will when they get turned away. Sorry, Shep.]

Your homeland, I am to assume?

[fightforthelost]

[That actually makes him laugh.]

Planet. Home planet. 'Land' makes it sound... small.

[ordonaturalis]

Possibly smaller than you realize.

[She tilts her head slightly to the side, conceding a point to herself.]

And my...planet as well. Far smaller than I should like to believe, and for no greater reason than because I was part of it.

[fightforthelost]

I'm guessing you're new to all of this.

[Space travel, aliens, guns, mass effect relays, etc etc etc.]

[ordonaturalis]

The details, perhaps.

[Thrown into a situation she's not really prepared for against odds that she in no way likes? Along with a headstrong, take-charge individual set on getting their way? Now that's old news.]

Out of pure curiosity, how do you imagine we arrived at this charming destination, Shepard?

[fightforthelost]

We must have done something really bad in a past life.

[Was she meaning literally? Look at this fucker just keep his poker face like that's the answer she wants.]

[ordonaturalis]

[She has to laugh at that- again, quick, sharp, more like a whip strike than a chuckle.

Too bad this icon is the closest she gets to smiling.]

Oh, I like you. Yet sins of this life alone may have been enough to justify the punishment. In some cases.

[fightforthelost]

[Hah, well, he'll give her a better answer since she's amused.]

I've talked to a few of my crew and the one thing in common is that they were all going through a mass relay right before they arrived here. Apart from that... they can't really remember anything else. Were you going anywhere before you ended up on Omega?

[ordonaturalis]

Too slay an arch-demon. Or be slain by one, depending on ones level of optimism regarding such a task.

[She looks over at him, still faintly amused and with one eyebrow raised, nearly demanding that he look at her as through she were a mad woman once more.]

[fightforthelost]

[He does for a moment and sees that look on her face before mirroring it in his own way.]

I want what you've been drinking.

[But seriously, arch-demon? From her dress, her speech, her remarks, and that stick, he can't help but wonder what primitive humanoid culture she comes from. Obviously it's one where they still believe in demons and such.]

Hope you weren't in a hurry. We might be here for awhile.

[ordonaturalis]

'Tis only a matter of saving the known world. So perhaps not so very grand a thing, taking new...perspective into account. What, after all, is one razed world among so many?

[Annoying, still, considering how close she'd been- but there was no point lingering on that which could not be changed.]
