The spacecab made a low whining noise as it was set on its approach to the station cluster of Academia, a humble flotilla formed from what was left of Saturn, transformed into a hall of learning: Spiritech Academy. Over 2 billion students from birth to the age of 21 learned and trained here, cohabitating and socializing in these halls. The planet's highly industrialized Alpha station glowed bright—the ship's destination. The ship itself was an older model, but still a comfortable ride. About 30 feet long and 10 feet wide, wide viewports stretched across the floor, ceiling, and "walls" of the entire cabin with benches running parallel down the walls. This being a smaller vessel, handholds abounded in the zero-gravity ship and the benches covered multiple orientations.

The monitors finally switched off from the recorded spiel the kids had been getting since they got the Spirit Passes in the mail. Instead there stood a stout woman with wavy blonde hair and a rounded, non-threatening appearance. She wore a well-put-together and firmly controlled school uniform, a smart black blazer and conservative skirt highlighted in blue, with an appropriate Azure Dragon pin. "Alright, guys, as you can see we're on our way down to the station!" A row of lights lit up around the outside of the ship, guiding the approach. "Please grab the Lifekits under your seats; they're a gift from, myself, Darla Vadour. Just clip them to the back of your neck and they'll project a layer of air, warmth, pressure, radiation protection, and light protection—everything you'd need to survive out there. Just in case of emergencies."

She demonstrated, clipping a thin metal band lit up with blue LED's to the nape of her neck. "You're going to be a few minutes before you dock, so please chit-chat and connect—one of the big things you're gonna be doing at Spiritech is meeting other Bae users and connecting into a big family of badasses!" At that last word, Darla made an expression of mock horror and covered her mouth. "Oh, excuse me! Well, anyway, carry on!" The monitor blinked out.

"All right, finally!" yelled a blonde-haired freshman as she placed on her lifekit. "Can't wait to get out of here and do stuff!"

Emma winced as one of the freshmen started yelling. Ugh, stupid bloody new kids. Should have done a better job trying to convince Mum and Dad to get me a better ship ticket.

Shall I hurt her for you, Mistrss?

Emma shifted and crossed one leg over the other. No, thank you Carmila. I can handle this Pleb on my own

As you say

The British girl turned in her seat and called back. "Hey! Stow it ya bleedin' tosser. Some of us are trying to relax on this trip, thank you very much."

Elisia didn't pay much mind to the other freshmen which, coincidentally enough, had almost exactly the same first name. She'd already attached the lifekit to her neck as the female on the monitor instructed. Was that a teacher? Maybe the principal...? She didn't exactly figure that out yet. It didn't bother the pink haired lady though. What DID bother her was the way Emma had decided to reply, causing herself to take a stance.

"Maybe you should be the one to be a little more reserved. Even if you don't like people being excited there's more polite ways to say so." After saying these words Elisia crossed her legs and looked away from Emma, towards the OTHER Elysia. "It is quite fun to wait and see what happens, isn't it? Is it your first year here as well?"

Emma snorted in response. "Bugger that, I spent all of break being 'polite' and 'ladylike'. It's far past time for me to be rude, toss around insults and stones and yeah, be a goddam hypocrite if I want to be. So you can just piss off."

Andromeda clipped her own lifekit to the back of her neck, not really needing the instruction. After three years of going to school at Spiritech, she knew how disembarking worked. The yelling in here was starting to grate on her though. Even though she had purposely sat herself towards the back of the spacecab to avoid getting angry, it was too small for her to not hear the erupting argument. With an irritated twitch of her eyebrow, Andromeda spoke up.

"I'd like it if you'd all shut up until we get off this ship," she said, her glare going from Emma to the two freshmen she didn't recognize. There was an underlying threat in her tone hidden behind her slight Greek accent. She hadn't started a fight in a whole 3 days, and it would be sad to break her streak, but after that long flight, Andromeda was even less patient than usual.

Martin's eyes flicked around the ship. He slapped the Lifekit on, and took a deep breath. He could do this. He'd grown up around Bae users, he'd pick it up. He couldn't let those doubts hold him back now. He flicked over to the Greek chick: older, bigger, and more experienced than him. Definitely a potent ally. He stood up. Not that that changed much in his case.

"I'd like the same." He held his hands behind his back, keeping his shoulders straight. "I mean, if youse guys can't get along, I'm sure that we could work out something. Something between you, me, and The Touch!" He flung his arms out from behind his back and concentrated, that same force that had finally awakened within him minutes ago. "Right?" He hadn't brought out his Bae just yet, but he was ready!

Emma leaned forward, pushing down her sunglasses so she could glare at Andromeda over them. "Of course it would be you whose ruinin' my fun, Bleedin' Dragon." She kept glaring. "Don't think I'm afraid of you. We still need ta' settle that score from the one time, yeah? Still, don't suppose this is the place or time." And so Emma leaned back in momentary placation, having already attached her lifekit at some earlier point.

Shall I hurt her for you?

No, thank you....not yet anyway.

"Good to know we're starting the new year on the right foot."

Ray was a good few years into his learning at the academy, so he was more or less used to students sizing each-other up, but this was pretty damned soon to start. If anything, the distinct lack of gravity would make any brawling to funny to take seriously for any amount of time. The senior swiped his life-kit out from under his seat and slid it on his shoulders like a backpack.

"If we're lucky, more than half of us will make it to graduation this time."

Bryan looked up from his sketchpad, and looked at his fellow students, a sigh escaped his mouth, he tucked his sketchpad away and attached the lifekit to his neck.

He looked back at his fellow students and thought to himself "Well at least this year won't be boring,"

Andromeda looked like she wanted to argue further, but eventually sat back as well.

"You're lucky we're in a ship, Bird..." she said, agreeing to postpone their fight until later. She'd get even after what happened last year, even if she had to be patient for a few more hours. It was a shame too, her Spirit would have done well in a closed space like this.

"There are too many students close by to have a proper fight, they would be caught in the crossfire," the voice in Andromeda's head said, tinny and mechanical sounding. Mercury had been created from a small bit of her subconsciousness that was less bloodthristy than the rest, her parents had speculated. He seemed to enjoy acting like a voice of reason. He was right, but that didn't mean she had to enjoy it.

Clipping the Lifekit onto the back of her neck with just two of her fingers, Carmelita Michaelle turned her head to her side to just overhear Emma picking a fight with Andromeda. Since she was seated near the front of the ship, Carmelita didn't really want to turn her body around so that she could bother herself with the two's childish bickering. However even though she did her best to space herself from fights, she couldn't help but notice what school the two hailed from.

"Even if a fight were to break out in here, Andromeda Leon, Emma wouldn't your only problem on this flight." Carmelita said to the Azure Dragon third year without even turning her head to him. In all honesty Carmelita hated the thought of using her powers if it could be avoided, but when it comes to her school... Vermillion Bird never fights alone.

Well, at least to her eyes. Then again, Vermillions weren't taught to be stupid.

"And i suggest you drop it, Emma." Carmelita said while giving the woman a glare from under her sunglasses, "You're better than that."

"Yep!" Elysia said to the Elisia with two i's, ignoring the stuffy Brit in the row in front of her. "I've been looking forward to this my entire life!"

She jumped up and pounded the air above her with her fists — which, due to the lack of gravity, meant she was left floating above her seat.

"Heh, I totally meant to do that..." she said sheepishly.

Bryan rolled his eyes and let out a snicker, from the group itself he could tell it was going to be a interesting year indeed. He let out a wave to his fellow students and smiled.

"Are you sure you do not want to say hello?" he heard in the back of his head, it seems that Reave was awake. He denied that idea, he didn't like to talk much, unless absolutely necessary. "If you insist,"

Still, what would happen next with these fellow students?

"Yes... I'm sure you did." The oddly pink-haired girl gave an awkward smile at the amount of energy Elysia had. The bickering of the others also did nothing to lift the mood... Perhaps she shouldn't have replied that way, either. It was uncalled for. Then again, with Emma's reaction...

"So, uh, to stray away from the entire brawling topic... I don't think I've introduced myself to any of you? I mean, not that it changes much but we are going to be going to the same school together..." Elisia took a small breath and stood up for a bit in order to make her voice more clear. "I'm Elisia Destercke, it's my pleasure to meet all of you. I hope I will not be in the way for any of you." She tipped it off with a little bow, which was a bit awkward due to the low gravity and then resumed sitting down. At least she got that much out of the way.

Spencer was vaguely aware that people were shouting around him, but he was too busy blissing out to Santana to care about much of anything beyond how relaxed he was. Wu-Tang was a real friend to help out like that.

"No need to worry about getting in our way, Elisia." Wyatt called out from his seat, "That's more or less what we're here to do."

The grizzly looking senior wrenched himself from his resting place near the ceiling, placing himself in the 'center' row of the bus. He remained tethered only by a hand as he floated. He could tell that this wasn't going to be a boring year, if anything. He'd eventually leave this place still thinking that it was an overall mad idea to implement in the first place.

"By the time you've graduated here, you'll not have to worry about being in the way of anyone."

"It is possible to fail, to be sure. But surely, it is within our capability to succeed. Would it not be a waste of resources bringing us here otherwise?" Daniel asked the two older students.

It was an honest question, but Daniel was more interested in the their thought processes. They obviously had more experience then him, and it would benefit him greatly if he could pick their brains.

Bryan let out a low laugh and pulled out his sketchpad again. He drew a quick image of Daniel in Space and what seemed to be a glowing figure, presumably his Bae.

Bryan drew a quick sequel image of a gravestone with the glowing figure next to it. The implication was clear.

"Don't be mean Bryan." Reave responded in the back of Bryan's head.

The senior's expression softened. He drew another image of a group of students together with a green checkmark over top.

"Yeah, I'd say Martin Martello's got it under control." Martin lounged back into his seat, confident as ever despite the fact that he was becoming uncomfortably aware of how he didn't even take the entrance exam. "And as far as resources go, I'm just saying..." He pointed a finger at the space station. "They seem to have it under control. Where do you even get money like that, anyway?"

"Governments, new materials scientists will pay out the nose for, rich families of some of the students." Emma explained. "Get enough money together from enough substantial sources and it begins to add up rather quickly.'

Isn't your family one of those...

Shut up Carmila.

Emma's eyes darted around under her shades hoping no one besides her bae knew too much about her family.

"That being said," Wyatt chimed in, still floating in the center-isle, "Some very affluent people, for better or worse, are quite invested in making sure that we remain in one piece" He couldn't blame the new student for having some initial 'fears-for-their-mortal-coil'. It's not as if their would never be a student who did their damnedest to point out the dangers in the most obnoxious way possible.

"Just don't piss off the wrong people, and you shouldn't die," Andromeda said with a shrug. As bluntly as she had put it, she was honestly trying to help the freshmen. They were sometimes the cockiest ones around, and the first to get hurt because of it. Just because you had a Bae did not make you invincible. She felt no need to comment on the school's funds, knowing that her parents' company had dumped quite a few dollars into Spiritech, along with state of the art defense systems.

"Beyond getting hurt on school grounds, Spiritech is very well protected from outside threats."

"A-Ah... Okay. Thank you for the warnings..." It's not like Elisia didn't know the danger of the school but it was still nice to be reminded of it before actually being there. She should be fine though, it's not like they plan to fight all that much... EXT isn't a Bae focused on combat. Speaking of which, she felt some protective feeling wash over her. It was probably EXT trying to calm the young girl's nerves, causing the edges of her lips to curl ever so slightly upwards.
