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.

[well her world doesn't quite know about the Avengers- well, it might, but she doesn't because carolina isn't a fan of comics or movies based on them, least of all ones from the 20th and 21st centuries, but that's neither here nor there.

that...well. she tilts her head to the side at this information, eyes narrowing behind her visor with definite interest.] Another project? Just how many strategies are they throwing at these aliens?

[the joke is a bit dry, but there's some truth there- it's getting a little ridiculous.]

[starspangledspandex]

[There may be some mis-communication going on here. He's not sure. Are they talking about the aliens here or the threat of the aliens back home? It sounds like she knows what she's talking about though so he automatically assumes the later.]

I wasn't aware of any other teams.

[What are jokes? Steve has his serious business face on.]

[ex_myturn41]

[this... isn't good. he's not aware of other teams, maybe they didn't tell everyone that. she's not sure how to take this, but she's going to figure it out.]

...before we succumb to misinformation, what year do you think it is?

[because she's played this whole different-universe thing before]

[starspangledspandex]

[Yeah, he hasn't done the other universe thing just the man-out-of-time thing.]

It was 2012. This doesn't look anything like that. We aren't capable of space flight like this.

[ex_myturn41]

[w e l p. that's the problem right there. she nods]

We are where I come from. It's 2550 on my calendar. But I doubt it's the same here- if they even use the same calendar.

[starspangledspandex]

[He stares for a second because he gets that he's in the future now but that far forward? No way. It can't be possible right?]

We weren't even thinking about space when I was born. We barely had space flight.

[Of course, that had been 1918 and not 2012 but he's not really thinking about it. He's just amazed how far humanity has come.]
