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! ]]

Nowhere in particular. Just trying to get the lay of the land.

Oh I see. Yes that's generally a good idea, the layout is very confusing though until you've been round it a few times.

You might want to be careful teleporting though, if you ended up outside...

[Wait can demigods die from space vacuum?]

I'm not an idiot.

[ no nico that's debatable ]

I didn't mean to be insulting. Just concerned, especially if you don't know the layout of the base.

It might be safer to walk around first.

I'm not two either, gods.

[ he knows how to shadow-travel properly by now G O D S ]

That's not at all what I was implying.

[excuse her trying to be nice, Nico :|]

I'm only trying to be helpful.

[ he doesn't need help he is a self-sufficient big boy!!! ]

And I know there's no oxygen in space.

[Don't you want a vampire mum, Nico, all the cool kids do.

His last comment makes her smile, his attitude reminds her of someone else she knows -- in a good way.]

Well, if I can help in any way I'd be happy to. It's not the easiest of transitions.

[ MY MOTHER IS DEEEEEAAAAAD

he looks dubious, but nods ]

I'll keep it in mind if I have any questions.

How much do you know of the situation already?

[Seras questions, just in case he hasn't had things properly explained to him yet.]
