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.

i love you.

[yeah, good luck getting that thing to connect to anything around here .. because even though he doesn't know it, that thing's about a couple of centuries behind the times.

so get with it man.] Nothing around here needs be backwards compatible - whatever the hell that is - because it's all the same technology.

[you're gonna get a chuckle and something of a smirk for that, though, sir.] Okay, now you have my attention. Sinister plans always merit my attention.

no u

[soldad]

[ This is what comes with leaving a backwards compatible station and ending up on a decidedly less compatible one.

That Joker doesn't know what backwards compatible means, though, is somewhat telling. ]

Well, technology usually evolves.

[ At that Arthur quirks one eyebrow up - ah, now it's coming back slightly. There was a Joker on the station for a short period of time. Not long enough for Arthur to learn anything useful, but still. ]

There's no point in sharing them if they've already been nipped in the bud.

[ Still joking. ]

[airraid]

It has evolved. If you go back and look at the archives and see what people were doing a couple of centuries ago, you'll see.

[he's gonna start squinting at you in a minute and put two and two together. even though he has no idea that you're from sacrosanct.

even though he isn't supposed to know what or where that is. do ignore that.

and don't expect to learn anything too useful from this guy here .. unless he ends up doing it by mistake by trying to be a sarcastic little jackass.] .. Yeah there is. C'mon, it's not like you have anywhere else to be right now. We can totally sit down, have a chat, get to know each other.

And I can learn whether or not any of your potential sinister plans here might need my help.

[soldad]

[ Time travel shenanigans on the last station aside, Arthur heaves a small sigh in his head. Yes, the tech's obsolete. This feels like a reversal of him and Eames about new phones.

He gives a small laugh at that, running a hand over his face. ]

Sure, you wanna know about my plan to take over the world, or my plan to make the world's most delicious fat-free cupcake?

[ Spoiler: Arthur has no plans. ]

[airraid]

[and he just keeps on grinning - until he gets to the part about the cupcake.]

.. Dude. Nothing about a fat-free cupcake can be delicious. I think you're full of crap.

[soldad]

[ Now Arthur's truly smirking. ]

I did say it was a sinister plan, didn't I?

[ He brings up his omni-tool again, but whatever it is he was looking at gives him a bright red ACCESS DENIED and he makes a small face at it before shutting it down. ]

Maybe another time.

[airraid]

[touche ..]

You got me there. I think I like you already.

[pause.] What are you trying to do, anyway?

[soldad]

[ He figures this can't hurt unless it's a forbidden topic that he might as well find out about now. ]

This wearable [ He knows it's not one but defaults back to the terms he learned on Sacrosanct ] is connected to some kind of network. I was trying to get information on it, but it's not giving me anything really specific.

Course, I could just be misunderstanding the tech.

[airraid]

[this wearable .. that already has him wanting to laugh, because who the hell talks like that? it's ridiculous, at best, and it just makes him shake his head.] Oh, the omni-tool, you mean. C'mere.

[he reaches over just a bit, brings up the device's interface, taps a few things and then steps back.] Pretty simple once you get used to it. You can get in touch with pretty much anyone on the extranet with this thing. Video, audio, text, whatever.

You can even look up porn.

[yeah, he just said that.]
