Date: November 1st
Location: The Observatory.
Characters: Everyone.
Summary: New Transports arrive and are shuffled into the Observatory after their initial briefings. The zombie plot will not spill over into this area, this area is safe and unaffected! To face zombies, characters must leave the area, and please move to the event log with those threads.
Warnings: None.

Your arrival here has been very unceremonious. One second you were somewhere else, and now, very suddenly, your feet hit the glowing white of the Transporter pad, and you're here. You aren't alone, either. There's a crowd of others around you, each seeming just as bewildered, angry, or confused as you might feel. At the head of the group is a woman in purple robes, solemn and taciturn. She hurries over a quick overview of your intended purpose here, and gives direct answers when asked for them, but to most things she simply shows you how to access the tablet you've just been given, or tells you that the DITR's greeters will explain everything. On the tablet, you can find the history of this place and a record of what your new cohorts have experienced — although it won't have Network access for another 8 hours. Someone stands on hand to give you a weapon, and though the armory is now greatly reduced, you should be able to find something to suit you.

You're shepherded down a walkway tunnel and into the Observatory, where you will find screens mounted on three sides of the wide room. It's night outside the great wide windows, and the lunar landscape isn't much to look at right now; the only lighting comes from dull red emergency lights, but there are… noises. Listen carefully. Over the voices of your fellow Transports, now and then you might catch the sound of a scrape, or a low and muffled cry. It doesn't sound human. Are there animals up here?

You're free to explore the base, visit and use any of the VR rooms, or discover your new room and roommates, but try not to step out of any airlocks if oxygen is a requirement for your system.

Welcome to the moon base, and to the remains of Exsilium.

[[ ooc; As a note for players of current characters: please keep your root comments confined to the various groups and organizations that set up root comments to greet new characters! We highly encourage tagging around here, but since it's a log meant for new characters specifically, we ask that they be the ones to set up root threads to the entry. Thank you, and happy playing! ]]

[ He spends just a few seconds more considering it before he's come to his decision, for better or for worse. ]

Here you are, here I am, and there's coffee over toward the cafeteria. [ When he smiles, it's as warm as it was before the names had been exchanged. ] Still interested?

[he looks a bit eager and his entire expression kind of. perks up at the mention.]

Coffee! I'm in need of sustenance! ... in space!

[he turns his head and looks over his shoulder and out the window.]

I'm dreadfully sorry we're going to have to part for the moment, I've some important matters to attend that begin and end with glorious caffeine.

[he turns back to him.]

To coffee!

[ who let Loki be so adorable, this is nuts. Ashraf looks amused, but turns to go, gesturing with a nod of his head for Loki to follow. ]

The cafeteria is the other end of the base, so it's a bit of a walk. But it will all still be there by the time you get back to a window, I promise.

[someone must've shrunk him and dipped him in sugar.

he has no problem following, but like any fourteen year old boy, he sort of strays here and there and gets a bit distracted with this and that as they pass it.]

I'm sure time is something I'll have plenty of.
