who. everyone!

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.

A little more intuitive.

[ Arthur's eyes are alight with a slightly curious look - the look of someone who wants to spend a while poking and prodding at a new toy until they know how it ticks - but he closes the omni tool with another twist of his wrist. ]

Looks like there's a network here - they'll probably do it there, so at least we have something to monitor.

[ But really as long as it's not Hypatia 2.0 ]

[neverknocks]

[ That look is something York can relate to -- she'd be lying if she said she wasn't itching to sit down and figure out how all of this worked. ]

Yeah, maybe we'll even find a few answers.

{ She pauses, glancing around them. ]

Hey, while you're keepin' an eye out, do me a favor, will you?

[soldad]

[ He flicks his eyes to the left and right, then looks at her. ]

Sure, shoot.

[neverknocks]

Will you -- keep an eye out for Wash? I haven't seen him around, yet.

[ If Arthur's here, Wash has to be here, right? Man, she doesn't want to entertain the thought that he's still on Sacrosanct. ]

[soldad]

[ There's an expression one would almost call a combination of fond and worried at her words and he nods immediately. ]

You'll be the first person I tell after I see him. He's around, I'm sure.

[neverknocks]

[ York quirks up one corner of her mouth in an appreciative smile, and she nods. ]

Thanks, man. I appreciate it. I'm sure I'll catch him around somewhere. And you keep in touch, all right? I don't wanna start worryin' about you disappearing on me.

[soldad]

His armor has yellow shoulders; I'm sure you'll find it.

[ Of course then someone goes walking by in entirely yellow armor, and he has to squint at it for a moment before he responds to her. ]

I'll keep in touch, York. Guess we've all gotta stick together, right?

[ It's an attempt at sarcasm but it rings a little true. ]

[neverknocks]

Yeah, some of us, anyway.

[ York gives him a little smile, because hey, there are only a handful of people here she really gives a shit about right now, and Arthur's pretty high on that short list. She wouldn't want to lose him, either. ]

Let me know if you see anything worth noting. I'll let you know if I uncover anything earthshaking, too. I'll see you around.
