( 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.

... ...

Don't you have your own? I'm not dropping the name until you get that kid back out here seriously if the police actually had a hotline around here--

I'm usin' my own but it'd probably be easier if I had two!

[And no hands free to snag the kid, but it's not like he's thinking that far ahead right now.

For one, he can't see past his hand. And so: THUMP.]

... Ow. Would you quit freaking out? He climbed in on his own, I didn't do anything! I'm kinda the victim here!

Keep one hand free. I don't want you losing mine in there, either.

[He startles a little when he hears the thump and leans over, looking wary.]

Yeah, yeah, I'm kidding. Can you find him?

Dude, I'm not going to lose a freaking glowing tablet computer in here, it's not that big.

[It's cluttered, but seriously, glowing beacons...!

He sighs and rubs his head a little where he smacked it against the low ceiling.]

Ugh. Don't even joke about that stuff-- Hang on.

[That was definitely a shuffling noise he heard, right? Or was it just bags falling over?]

Shhhh!

[Siiiiiiiiiigh.]

I'm being quiet. I'll lift him up when you get him, okay?

[All Shintaro gets for his trouble is another Shhh!, a little more muffled. There's a few shuffling noises, some rustling. A long silence. Then--

THUMPTHUMPthumpthumpTHUMP.]

Ow! Ya didn't have to throw ice cubes at my head!

[The voice, possibly slightly teary and and a bit shrill and very definitely not Naoya's voice, seems to come from very far away.

However--]

Don't be a brat, I didn't throw anything at you. You're the one who kept knocking things over, now get over here before you get both of us buried.

Throw all a' the bags you want, you're too fat to catch me in here!

Hey! That's just uncalled for! Hey...!

[Whatever else Naoya has to say, it's drowned out by what sounds like a small stampede.

...

Are you ready for a small, dark-haired hurricane to suddenly pop out of the trunk in a flurry of limbs and plastic bag, Shintaro? We sure hope so. Watch your head!]

[JFC

He's not sure if he even wants to try to catch that so the first move he makes is to back the hell up and because he's not a masochist and he doesn't want to just watch potential injury hurling straight toward him. He ducks his head, steps to the side, and stares wide-eyed.]


What the---...!?
