Date: December 1st
Location: The Observatory.
Characters: Everyone.
Summary: New Transports arrive and are shuffled into the Observatory after their initial briefings.
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. 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; they show multiple variations of satellite images, focused on... somewhere snowy. It's difficult to say more than that, but those that record heat readings seem to suggest there are people there, where ever "there" is. It's night outside the great wide windows, and the lunar landscape isn't much to look at right now. But, hey, at least all the lights are on, right? No more creepy red emergency lighting upon arrival — not that you'd know anything about that.

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! ]]

It's him... all of them, I know them-- [ hrmmmm. he's quiet for a second or two, processing. he's pretty shocked, to say the least. ]

How is that possible?

I'm not sure, but as soon as we find... Mikoto, is it? As soon as we find him, maybe he'll have the answer you're looking for. [ he lets that 'we' slip as he's so used to helping families be reunited and he's treating this like that. he pauses briefly, fixing one of his bangs. ] I know all this is sudden, but what usually makes sense in the world, in the life, we know, doesn't always translate here. The best advice I can give is to shut out what's possible and be on guard. When I first arrived here, there was a zombie attack going on. One of my friends even saw dinosaurs on the beach -- this place doesn't go by normal logic.

[ dinosaurs on the beach seemed cool. zombies? no problem, he played a ton of video games. he was sure it wasn't entirely the same but if he was going to take this guy's advice and be on his guard, he'd have to take things in stride.

the fact that something weird was going on between this place and some other members of HOMRA included.

Yata nods once Koujaku seems to be done explaining, staring down at the floor for a few seconds before he shakes his head vigorously. this wasn't the time to mope! ]

Right, gotta keep looking for him. And don't worry about it, you've already done a lot.

[ yeah, he didn't miss that we. ]

Alright, if you're sure. [ he doesn't want to push. ]

If you do end up finding your friend, or you need any help, you can contact me. Koujaku, written like "red sparrow", is my name on there. You can just leave a text or whatever -- I know how confusing this place can be at first.

Red sparrow... cool. Alright!

[ he grins; Koujaku was helpful and he had a cool name, he could go on Yata's good list.

as such, he holds his fist out toward him for a fistbump!! ]

[ he smiles, chuckling a little before he meets Yata's fist with his own. ] I'll let you go, then. I have my own comrades to search for. If you see anyone talking about me and mentioning they're a part of of a Benishigure, send 'em my way, will you?

Benishigure. [ He repeats, nodding to himself to let him know he'd remember. ] Got it!

[ With that, he turns to run off just as quickly as he'd approached the man. ]
