( open ) i'll fly you to the moon and back

Date & Time: September 21st - September 30th, 11:59 PM
Location: The Hold, the Moon Base
Characters: Any/all.
Summary: The Transports are evacuating to the Moon Base. Those on the Moon Base try to settle in and figure out their next move. Setting info can be found here.
Warnings: Talk of nuclear warheads and reference to immense loss of life. Please contact the mods should any individual thread get graphically violent or anything else of the sort.
Note: Use date and location tags in your subject headlines! Such as "On the moon, 23rd onward" or "On the spaceship, 25th" or "down at the Hold, 29th."

The Hold is a flurry of activity, grim faced members of the Initiative group directing supplies and people with the subdued air of people facing their own doom, and wondering at how to process the knowledge. None of the Initiative appears unaware of what will happen; their eyes linger on the Transports, expressions pleading, hopeful, doubtful, or immeasurably sad in turn.

Every eight hours, the space ship is sent back up with a load of people and supplies. The pilots are worked until they can't; the AI stolen ages ago by the Initiative greets and corrals people and supplies at both ends, and in the middle step between.

The network continues to broadcast on narrow channels between the Moon Base and Exsilium, up until the time that all connections are lost, with the carrier located en route to Exsilium. The first airship will pass by without dropping anything, but it's too early to celebrate. At a six hour delay from behind, the second airship arrives, and with it, the dark promise of the Black Code's nuclear weaponry.

The six hour window allows for time for those left behind, either by choice or circumstance, to be pulled to the Moon Base with the successful activation of the Transport Pad. New characters will ultimately arrive with the remainder of those not yet on the Moon Base, all in time to witness the explosive contact of the nuclear warhead with the ground of Exsilium live on satellite.

But until then, there's only the hurry, the silence, and the potential for full out rioting should the Transports spread word to the Exiles inevitably left behind to face this fate.

[Claudia had been on her way to see if she could hack into the simulation chambers to give it a bit of her own flare when she sees Sonic.

She pales a little and turns, hoping he didn't see her as she not-so-subtly darts around a corner.]
mach_n_roll: (That ain't right)

Huh?

[Sorry Claudia, he's a bit quicker to notice things than that. Sonic, still half-covered in a workout towel, darts to the side to keep her in her sight. He knows better than to give chase, but he calls after her:]

--Hey! Claudia! I wanted to--I'm sorry about what happened! [That's the best he can begin with, the way she's scurrying away.] Lemme explain! C'mon, don't run away!
acts_of_claudia: (Oh you've GOT to be kidding me)

[SHIT he saw her. She stops moving, choosing instead to bang her head against the wall.]

Stupid stupid stupid.

[Of course he'd have found her eventually. What the hell was she doing?!]

Sure, Sonic. Go ahead and explain how you pretended to be nice so you could kidnap me and give me to a bunch of scientists to experiment on. That's exactly what I want to hear right now.

Claudia, I wasn't thinkin' straight! Taking us both over there to be tested on is the LAST thing I would ever want to do, but something was messin' with my head. You can ask the other guys; the same thing happened to some'a them! It was like you were watching yourself do things, and some pretty awful things too.

[His ears fold back.] ...But I, I really did like your music. I wasn't kidding about that.
