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.

... But I suppose he must have his reasons. [ She hasn't told Yata she's a princess yet. She feels really bad about it! ]

[ reasons being hatred, but whatever. he doesn't care. not particularly. so he'll just shrug his shoulders again, instead. ]

[ thanks for the non-answer ]

Eric, is Yata a jealous person? [ kougyoku stop asking eric about yata

but no, she wants to know more about her friend. help her out, man. ]

He's a chihuahua.

[ but what does that even mean. ]

Oh. [ Trying to figure it out from context clues... Nah, she's lost. ] What is that?

[ Enlighten her. ]

[ wow look at this, moving a hand away from his leg to. hold it palm down, with a few inches in between his hand and the ground. ]

. . A small, yappy dog.

[ LAUGHS, oh no, that was unladylike. At least she covered her mouth! But she can't help it. ]

He is rather loud! And not very tall...

Mm'.

[ yes she gets it, she understands.

but laughing hadn't really been. the expected reaction. ]

Wait a minute... Are you making fun of him?

[ squints. kougyoku why do you only pick up on this now ]

[ well it seems kind of pointless to lie, doesn't it. ]

A little.

Don't tease Yata. [ weren't you laughing a while ago? ] He's only doing his best. [ at what!?!? ]

At what?

[ yeah he said it. ]

... Serving his king? [ There's a question mark at the end. A question mark. ]

[ just. dismissively waving his hand. yeah sure okay. ]

Sure, whatever.

[ Well, it's obvious he and Yata don't get along, so... ]

Have you found him yet? King Mikotosan.

No. [ he wouldn't be here if he had okay.

well he. he might have. ]

It would be nice to meet him one day... But I suppose I should look for my brothers first. [ we're not looking for hakuei bye

She stands up. ]

Will you be okay here?

I'm fine, here.

[ he was before she decided to sit down, after all. ]

Well, alright. [ About to go, but— ] I suppose this is goodbye. [ beat ] Eric.

Kougyoku.

[ good bye, see you ~~later~~ never. ]

[ walks away... man, she never got to ask him if he could be her friend. well... that's fine. if she talked about eric to yata, yata would probably hate it! ]
