(OPEN | Mutiny Log) Well it's been so long
Date & Time: Nov. 16 ~0300 through Nov.19th ~0230hrs, 3133
Location: Housing, Cafeteria, VR rooms, hallways etc (read: everywhere)
Characters: YOU!
Summary: Mutiny on the moon base! Vital systems are offline, mutineers are making PA announcements, and there’s conflict and turmoil brewing in the halls. Dun dun duuun!
Warnings: None yet (possible violence?)
Notes: Specify a date and location in your top comment. You may specify multiple dates/locations. A timeline for the plot and the IC PA announcements made during are available HERE.
[In the dead of night - or as close to ‘the dead of night’ as is possible to have in moon base - a small group of transports finally make the move they’ve been planning for weeks. Pre-determined teams, maintaining radio contact throughout, simultaneously take control of the Transporter Room and take multiple systems offline.
One moment things are normal; they next, they’re not. With a last message flagged as ‘maintenance’ left on the network, the network cuts out. A moment later, Transports across the base find themselves losing contact with the ground or shifting in their sleep and gently floating out of their beds from the force as the gravity drops. Lighting flicks over to emergency only: bathing corridors and rooms in a desolate, lonely red. Doors work - and then they don’t. Transports will find themselves confined to housing (and washrooms), the VR rooms, and the cafeteria; it’s plenty of space to be comfortable and largely covers most Transport’s basic needs (unless you’re fond of cheery light or having your feet on the ground in which case you may be out of luck).
Hours later-- Click-HHHSSSHK-click!
A woman’s voice speaks over the moon base’s PA system, echoing through the dark corridors and off the odds and ends gently floating through them thanks to the lack of gravity regulation. The voice is rich and accented, with a certain practiced ease to it - one that sharpens to a point the longer she talks:]
Testing. Testing-- are we good? Christ, I'm not echoing, am I? No?
All right good. Listen up, fellow transports. As you might have noticed, some of the base's general systems have gone offline: this, I assure you, is absolutely intentional. There's no need to panic.
So moving on from the understandably frustrating to the even more frustrating, I'm sure you all have also noticed the fact that we're currently all stuck-- starving and defenseless-- on the bloody moon. In a base that was, up until a few days ago, overrun with zombies. And before that, thousands of lives were bombed right out of existence, and before that, an entire world-- and before that we were all still being thrown at the United Earth for the sake of dying off repeatedly in a war we never stood a chance or had a say in. Transports have been treated like pawns since day one, and I'm sorry, but we don't deserve it.
If we're giving up our lives and our freedom, I'd say it's about time we earned ourselves a little equality.
We deserve a say in what goes on in this fight, and with that in mind, a few of us have decided to hold onto the transporter for a while. Just until the Initiative agrees to treat us like people instead of ammunition. Trust me, we’re not here to hurt anyone; none of this has to end badly. But it does need to end. Things have got to change. And if this is what it takes? This is what it’s going to be.
We need your help; please don’t make it any harder for us.
[The PA clicks off, pitching the base once more into complete radio silence.
Near the end of the first day, gravity regulation is re-established. The network is brought back online the following day, allowing everyone to communicate more freely. Lighting doesn’t come back online until the 18th and the door regulation isn’t normalized or operable until the 19th. Throughout the four days, the mutineers make multiple PA announcements.
In the mean time? Keep your friends close, come to the aid of your neighbors; help with reconnaissance and choose sides - are you neutral in this mess? Are you trying to help bring systems back online and root out the mutineers? Are you sympathetic to the mutiny and trying to sabotage those Transports standing for the Initiative?]

It's kind of amazing someone thought turning that off was a good idea, but now it's fixed.
B
[Asbel can't help but smile fondly at his friend, before remembering the seriousness of current goings-on.]
...Yeah. I can understand what they're trying to do, but things are getting kind of crazy out here. I wonder how long before the situation escalates even further?
Re: B
Well... The idiots behind this tried to take every system, regardless if it's needed for us to survive or not.
I can't believe someone would mistake gravity for a luxury. But they did.
So I give it until they next do something stupid that threatens all our lives.
B
Not every system, right? I mean, they'd need some of these in order to survive, too. Otherwise there's not much point in staging a mutiny.
But you're right...this is dangerous. Maybe if we can calm everyone down a bit, we can also figure out a way for them to negotiate with the Initiative members. At least get them talking to one another.
Re: B
Somehow, I don't think that's likely. You've heard their demands, Asbel. And you've seen how far they'll go already.
Better to get each system back the direct way, I think.
B
I can't agree with their methods, and I know we need to focus on getting things up and running again, but if we can just convince them...
Re: B
And if they don't give up so easily? Or worse, they start meddling with the oxygen systems?
What would we do then?
B
[He doesn't have an answer to that. It's...not something he wants to think about.]
Look. All I'm saying is I think it'd be better if we tried to encourage both sides to reach an agreement. If we all just team up and overpower the mutineers, force them to back off, then what? It doesn't address their concerns. The people who are so desperate they're willing to do things like this...they'll just become even more discontent and angry. Who knows what else might happen moving forward?
Re: B
... For me, with one key difference, what happened with the Gravity was the Fendel Valkines Cryas all over again, Asbel. And while the results of it going further would be more subtle... They wouldn't have been much different.
B
[Asbel looks down at the floor. He remembers... But it wasn't a comparison he could've made. With how cheerful Pascal often is, sometimes it's a little too easy to forget that she gets upset about things the same as everyone else. Pascal might even be the strongest of all of them when it comes to things like this.]
Sorry. I guess...I got a little carried away. [He glances up finally, a slight frown set on his face.] So, what are you planning to do next?
Re: B
Well... No other critical systems are screwy yet. But I'm going to try and help make sure it stays that way. Who knows if they'll go for the oxygen or something next, after all!
B
Yeah, I don't think I can help much with that. I was thinking someone should make sure nobody's stuck without food or supplies. And, I don't know, try to keep more fighting from breaking out?
Re: B
B
Re: B
That's a good idea, we always could use more mechanics in case of stupid things like this in the future!
B
[Asbel cuts himself off, rubbing the back of his head awkwardly. What he'd meant was because he's pretty hopeless when it comes to technology, he was thinking he should check up on everyone else.]
[But then again, maybe he should start learning other things. It could come in handy some day.]
...Um. Well, it might not hurt to give it a shot.
Re: B

Whatever you decide is okay. But if you think it could help, I'll at least try to be a good student.

[He still doesn't want to fight against them, and he doesn't plan to if he can help it. Fighting won't solve this.]
