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! ]]

[Shh Peter doesn't even know Tony Stark yet to know how much he's being left out on. Of course, Tony Stark has some problems being Tony Stark, and perhaps he should stick his ego where the sun don't shine and get over himself and save everyone a lot of trouble, but the problem of withholding information is a problem for a later day. Peter doesn't even know he's going to live through what Gamora's told him is coming his way, and anyway...why would you fuck around with Asgardians if you don't have to?

Anyway, the point is- he's not making any assumptions here, yet.]

Are you talking about the Watcher? 'Cause yeah, he's definitely not hanging out around here. I don't even think they exist in this universe.

[and somehow, even though he wasn't entirely playing word games, Loki managed to get himself a fairly vital piece of information. he meant more of the "man in the moon," but this would suffice. thank you, Peter Quill.]

How unfortunate. I was looking forward to possibly acquainting myself and making a very good impression.

[Peter would not think of this as any sort of vital piece of information. Who doesn't know about the Watcher? Everybody knows about the Watcher. He is a giant man on the moon. Where have you been if you didn't know there was a giant man on the moon?]

Yeah? Well, whatever you do, don't try jokes. I've been told he doesn't have a sense of humor.

[Asgard. coming in fifteen minutes late with Starbucks.]

You've yet to meet him?

Never had a reason to.

[THIS IS THE CLOSEST HE'S BEEN TO EARTH IN YEARS. And coming here was the first time in well over a decade he set foot on his home planet.]

I figure Earth's best left to its own devices, it can take care of itself. And he's got keeping an eye on things covered, so.
