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! ]]

So how'd that work out? Did you just wake up one day and say, hey, I know what we need here on our space station! Baked goods!

[It's clearly teasing, light and friendly.]

Or are you just an aspiring culinary master with nothing better to do?

Little bit of both, maybe. Except I started it way back before we were up here on the moon.

So it's a recurring thing? Huh. Most of the time the only people I see doing this kind of thing are, like - youth groups or girl scouts. [He hardly looks the part.] That's cool, though.

[A pause.]

I'm Natalie Goodman.

Any relation to Saul Goodman?

No idea who that is, so I'm going to say no. Friend of yours?

Eh, kinda. I didn't think he'd have a kid pretty as you but, you know, sometimes people surprise you.

[An eyeroll.]

Cute. Thanks for the cookie. [And she almost turns away, but—]

Hey, you've been here for a while, right? I'm guessing not, but is there a music room here?

[Aww, is he losing his touch?]

Ain't hardly nothing up here, but there's VR rooms that'll convince you there is. You could load up a music room in there, sure.
