Troperia

Crew Quarters - Tor's Room

The message when opened seems well to most people make zero sense. Its mostly numbers and acronyms. If you're perhaps a doctor, or otherwise know about medical information it will make sense. It is medical abbreviation, a patients information and rather worrying information.

The patient in question the only name given seems to be marked as '13'. The vital signs look, terrible; someone clearly on emergency life support. Dangerous blood pressure, toxins in the blood, low sodium and potassium levels. Clearly malnourished, dangerously so. Worrying brain wave activity. As well as several notes that seem to be bone types and locations that are fractured in the left arm. Judging by the details on the fractures, the bone details seem,to indicate they would be a child of some kind. Overall however none of it seems good, it seems pretty critical, someone could not survive long if these are accurate.

Where location is, a series of numbers exist though half of them are missing. The ones that are there, seem to line up and match perfectly with the ones Toraq woke up written before him, as did the others.

The message sender? Just an error.

Crew Quarters - Amos's Room

"Haha! Victorious!" He laughs happily out, a loud chuckle as he smacks away with the pillow some more.

It doesn't take long after this surrender however for Russell to wear himself out, exhausted and tired from pushing himself like that. Falling onto the ground besides Amos panting and laughing to himself happily but tired. "Russell the Conqueror... Will rule over the republic, of Amos for... Eternity! I will be your new... Emperor..." He lets out a very tired victory speech from the floor besides Amos, happy, clearly having had a lot of fun.

Main Deck - Elevator

Matthew's mind, ejected from the mindscape fully reforms within his head. As Matt's body just freaks out a little and flails, potentially pushing Rakiri pretty hard into the side of the elevator before falling over unconscious. The teenager no longer sleepwalking but KOed completely.

The vision ending, though if Rakiri did get pushed he would have seen one final thing. A motion, slow, blurred, bloody picture of what must have been young teenage Blake over the top of Matthew shaking him, trying to check if he's alright. The sound muffled and a ringing like a explosion the only sounds. The words looked panicked and frantic on the younger Blake's face.

Robin's new room

Rolling over, a hand flails out to the side searching to grab the circlet. Holding it overhead, both hands staring at it after he rolls over.

Blue spheres, blinking, staring up at the shimmering alloys. Etched halo of designs engrave the edges of circlet, serpents and fangs, wings of flying beast. Centred a hollow ring, indented like something amiss, something missing. A finger runs along and around this searching, wanting an answer.

A sudden twitch, an annoyed look. Suddenly rolling over the regalia is slammed into the side table by a tanned arm. The owner rolling back over face away from the world.

Time passing.
Consciousness fading..
The time for rest is now...

Troperia, Crew Quarters
Sarai and Kimiko nodded, before finding an unoccupied room. Kimiko flopped onto the bed, sighing. She'd fucked up, pure and simple. "Someone should go get the ship started and ready."

Sarai nodded. "You stay here. Don't do anything stupid. I'll go get the ship."

Kimiko nodded. "Yeah... Yeah, I'll do that."

Sarai gave Kimiko a kiss, before jogging out of the room to start the ship, and get it into the Troperia's hangar.

Troperia

Crew Quarters

After escorting the new crew members to their rooms, Peter walks to the captain's room.


"Huh? Oh, yeah!" Izzie waves her hand over the compartment next to her waist, and conjures the plasma cell. "Been working on it on my spare time. Here you go." She gives it to him.

"Hey. It's Mitch, in case ya don't recognize me." He says to Torvahk with a grin. "You look splendid as usual." Izzie snorts briefly at the thought of the two hooking up, though she seems to agree with what Mitch said.

He turns to the door just as it's shut in front of his face. He blinks, before speaking. "Y'know I can hear you, right?" After they reopen the door, rather than looking offended at Yachesa's remark, he actually seems amused.

"Hah. I think that's the first time I've gotten that kind of reaction since I got on this ship." Mitch says, though his smile quickly fades. "I don't think you're monsters." He says simply. "Anyway, you said you wanted to go somewhere?"

Captain's Cabin

Peter sighs tiredly as he closes the door, and strips down to his underwear to relax. He opens his laptop and opens some class materials, reading and typing at a fast pace.

Medbay

"I'll lead you there." Val says to Andris creates a hard light platform, and Dominic helps him move Silas to it. Val then adds restraints as Andris asked, and they walk out of the medbay. "Matthew's heading towards the elevator, last I saw."

"I'll go check on him." Dominic splits off from the group. Val, meanwhile, continues towards the hangar, taking a different elevator down.

Crew Deck Elevator

Dominic waits in front of the elevator for Matthew.

Lex's Quarters

"Val and Andris are going to the hangar now with Silas. Dominic has split off from the group to find Matthew." Troperia helpfully informs Lex.

Knossos, Roughly 14 Years Ago

Peter slowly wakes up on a bed, his vision blurry for a moment before clearing up. He looks at his surroundings - a table with a lit lamp, medical equipment of some sort, and curtains covering a small amount of space around him. He looks down, finding some electrodes attached to his skin and a monitor next to him. He creases his eyebrows in confusion, before he remembers what happened before he fainted.

He suddenly jolts up and rips the electrodes away, snatching his shirt and pushing the curtain aside. He's already taking a step in his dash when he sees Jackson nearby, sitting on a different bed and having his injuries treated. He stops, and sees that he's talking to the woman he recognizes as Tatyana, accompanied by a couple other people. They all turn towards him when they hear his sounds, and she takes a step towards him.

"Hello. As Jackson already told you, my name is Tatyana." She says with a noticeable Slavic accent.

"Wh-what's this place? What happened before I got here?" Peter asks rapidly.

"This is... my house. That's one way to put it, at least. Jackson carried you here, with their help." She waves to the ones standing beside her, and they nod to Peter. "You're safe now, and we can take care of you from here on. If you want that."

"I... If it's better than the orphanage, I guess. No more bad people trying to take me away, right?"

"No more bad people." She says with a smile, and shows him the way to the door. "I can show you around to help you decide." Peter nods, and they walk out.

Troperia Hallway:

"Thanks," Torvahk simply responds before taking the plasma cell from Izzie and placing it in his inventory pack before asking, "better this is?" He would also ask Mitch after listening to whatever answer Izzie would have, "Mitch you are as well? Mitch are there, how many?" He clearly didn't understand that Mitch was a shapeshifter at this point, for whatever reason convinced there were a lot of him.

Nebris skips lightly behind Kyerine, her eyes wide, as he leads her toward the lab, "What do you do as her assistant, Kyerine? I help my- our daddies out in their research sometimes too."

Library > Hangar

"Thank you, Troperia." Lex begins making her way toward the elevator down to the hangar to meet up with Andris and Val.

Lounge

Merrick tussles his companion's hair as he ate, the sleekets sucking in another pair of meatballs, snuggling close to Christopher as the heat dispersed, "Don' worry. Was jus' playin'."

Troperia

Crew Quarters

Mitch creases his eyebrows in confusion at Torvahk's own confusion. "There's... just one. Of me." Mitch transforms back to his human appearance to demonstrate, and also to put the twins more at ease.

"Yeah, I made the tweaks we talked about last time. I also refilled the cell about halfway while I was at it, so handle it carefully." Izzie says with a wink.

Knossos, Roughly 14 Years Ago

Tatyana guided Peter through parts of the house - the library, his bedroom, etc. Along the way, he saw many other kids and teens, and some places, like the dining room and bathrooms, were built to be shared.

"So you're making your own orphanage?" Peter asks as they walk.

"Sort of. The ones owned by the 'government' here just train kids to work in the mines. I want them to live a full life." They pass by an alien girl with beastly features reading a comic. She looks up when they approach her.

"Simone, this is Percival. He's new here."

"Nice to meet you." Peter gives out a hand without any hesitation or fear, and she shakes it.

"Thanks for not being afraid of me. Most of the others are. They say I have scary teeth and claws, and they call me a freak."

"I think you look cool. And..." Peter takes out a marble from his pocket, which floats above his palm. "We can be freaks together, if you want." Simone chuckles and smiles in response.

"I have other things I need to do now, so I'll leave you here. Don't forget to go to dinner in time later." Tatyana says, before leaving the children and walking away.

Knossos, Roughly 21 Years Ago

A woman walks hurriedly down the street, her face partly covered by a hood and holding a baby in a small basket. She eventually finds the local orphanage and sets the basket down at the doorstep. She slips in a note giving details about the baby, as well as some money, just inside his blanket. She starts to get up, but the baby cries, sensing that his mother is going away. She crouches back down and strokes his head.

"Everything's going to be alright, Percy. Daddy loves you. Mommy loves you. Grow up to be a good boy, ok?" She says to him, and the baby boy coos and smiles. She cuddles him for a little while longer before ringing the doorbell, then quickly leaving before anyone sees her, a tear running down her face.

She walks past hastily, as if trying to get as much distance as possible. She reaches an alley and pauses for a moment, taking a deep breath, before heading in that direction. Hearing the click of a gun pointed at her forehead, she stops in her tracks.

Troperia Crew Quarters:

Torvahk couldn't help but be intrigued at witnessing Mitch's transformation, his confusion finally subsiding. He couldn't help but wonder what limits such powers had, getting lost in the idea of possibly encountering this strange alien taking on a perfect recreation, if not a facsimile of his own appearance. He snapped out of it once Izzie finished speaking. "Again, thanks." was all he could think of saying, not quite understanding the winking gesture that didn't exist in Mehketaran culture. At this point he wasn't quite sure what to do, but ultimately decided to stick around a little bit longer to continue monitoring what was going on...at least, that's what Torvahk reasoned to himself.

Sha'Koro tilted his head slightly "How did your change your voice? I know how I do it but you... I think the term my partner used to refer to you was 'meatbags'... you meatbags normally seem to be incapable of this."

Troperia, Arboretum -> Bio Lab

Mireille giggled and gave a nod "Okay my honored lab assistant." She looked back to Nebris "So, as I said before I'm a Xenobiologist, as such I research foreign flora and fauna, that includes things like taking DNA samples, studying their behavior, run tests on them and much more."

Since Nebris had asked Kyerine directly she refrained from telling his duties, leaving that open for him.

Yachesa crossed her arms.

"We want to explore," she said.

"I would like to see the ship," Yachesen added. "We don't want to bother you. We won't get in your way, if it's okay."


[Troperia Medbay—>Hangar—>The Godsgift]

The Godsgift's entry hatch was already open when they arrived in the hangar; Whistler's claws scrabbled against the smooth, hard floor as he raced up the corridor behind them.

"Good timing," Godsgift announced over the speaker in the pack's collar. "Now I can talk to everyone without sneakily co-opting parts of the PA system! Er, not that I was doing that."

"Wait, no," the same voice came over Silas's wrist device, "I have this thing. I definitely wasn't co-opting the PA system when I could have just used this thing."

"Just take care of him," Whistler said, rolling several pairs of eyes. "I'll help if I can."

"You got it! Just get him up into the ship. The bridge is fine, I've already prepped our soon-to-no-longer-be-digital friend, and he's ready to move in just as soon as the deposit check clears."

Whistler cocked a few of his heads. "As soon as the what?"

"Nevermind."

Andris didn't speak throughout the exchange, but by the time it finished, ve was carefully guiding the hard-light platform up through the entry hatch. Ve pulled visself up behind Silas.

"I don't see any tech," ve observed. "Is this all wireless?"

"Top of the Beyond," Godsgift said. "I mean, hopefully it'll work here, wherever 'here' is, but your ansible works, so I'd say our odds are, oh, I dunno, better than even."

Andris started to reply, but stopped. "I suppose 'better than even' is better than impossible," ve said.

"Yep! So are we ready? Speak now or forever hold your peace. Or speak later if you want, but it'll be too late, so there won't be much point."

Andris glanced back at the others.

"Uh, well," Godsgift said, "I was really just asking for dramatic effect. I've already started. He'll be transferred in about twenty seconds, and should wake up... uh... eventually. Hopefully. Probably."

Later on in Robin's room.

*zzz....*
*zzzzz...*
*zzzzzzz..*

You slumbering Prince, face down on the bed.
Your turning and rolling, mind deep in rest
Your hair a mess, it is still fine and red.
Your mind aches, yet you try and look best.

Torn between two, how should you act.
Yet this deception, you have a knack.
Yet you fight, you must keep track.
Yet one day, you must go back.

*zzzzz..*
*zzzz...*
*zzz....*
*.......*

*Yawn*
Robin's eyes flutter, tired and unfocused. He was barely awake after his rest; rolling over and looking up at the ceiling. As glaring back down was the glaring fluorescent light above, piercing like a spike to ones eyes.

He raises an arm quickly and suddenly, covering his face. He blocked the light like his continued life depended on it. Sitting up, teen Prince just groaned out aloud.
He stared forward as he awoke, his right hand defending from light bore a scar that just made the Prince pause; a scar of his past, his heritage and station, how he had been thrust into roles far above his youthful station...

Troperia

Med Bay

Greg wakes back up on his own body. He slowly sits up, his body stiff from being being out of commission for two consecutive times. "Gah...my back..."


Main Deck Hallway - Elevator

To busy worrying about the images, Rakiri is pushed and slammed hard into the side of the elevator with an audible slam. "Ow! Shit..." He groans, quickly righting himself to a sitting position in the side of the elevator, next to Matt's now collapsed form. "The hell was that about...?"

As the elevator opens up on the Crew Deck, Rakiri turns and looks at Dom who was waiting outside, a bit perplexed. "Uh. Hi."


Tor's Room

Tor unconsciously leans in closer to the monitor. "What...? This is...a medical report...But why is this being sent to me so suddenly?" He says, still looking horribly confused by the suddenness. As he nears the bottom, he immediately stops as a string of numbers is apparent. "...This is too ominous to be a coincidence. I need to show this to someone..."

He quickly sends the message to his datapad and starts to head out the door, only to stop right before exiting. "...Clothes first." He remembers and quickly goes to get something to make himself decent before starting his search.


Amos's Room

Amos lays sprawled out on his back, his laughter slowly fading into exhaustion as well. "Yeah, well, let's hope the Emporer Russell is a kind and just ruler." He answers jokingly.

Riva

A small ultramarine craft touches down on the landing pad outside of the village of Eissenke, stirring up small drifts of snow. The figure inside gets up out of the pilot's chair, their large, unblinking amber eyes glistening in the light.

She depresses a button and speaks to the computer, "Kü'änên mûmbädä lêzêl." As commanded, the screen before her glazes over with a metallic sheen, turning into a gigantic mirror. Reaching over to the seat beside her, she retrieves a bobbed fire red wig which gets arranged over a line of short blunted spikes embedded in her yellow skin, running back from her forehead toward her spine.

Finally, she turns a transparent orb set in a socket upon the control panel, watching as tiny opalescent motes gleam at its heart once turned roughly one quarter of the way toward the northwest, where the nearby resort lay. Nodding, she places the orb in her bag beside a bladeless hilt and a small harplike instrument, then presses a button on her uniform, and with a glimmer of light, she teleports off the ship.

Crew Quarters - Amos's Room

Russell chuckles a little bit at the response, clearly tired as he is just flopped besides Amos on the floor. Smiling and humming a bit in thought about the idea of 'Emperor Russell' and how he could soo abuse that if it was a thing. Not that he would of course but power fantasies are fun.

"Ehehe, before I ask my second thing. You said you wanted to talk to me tool?" He responds childishly laughing, clearly curious what Amos had to say and exhausted enough that he'll just keep laying on the floor for the time being.

Crew Quarters - Outside Toraq's room.

A rapid knock is heard on the door. If it is opened, Blake will be on the other side with a curious raised eyebrow. His eyes a flicking glow of Crimson.

Crew Deck Hallway - Elevator

Matthew is simply KOed on the floor of the elevator. No response, not moving limp. If he's checked over he seems to just be incredibly very fast asleep; well physically. Mentally his brain is racing super fast in this huge confused mess, his psionics have basically shut off completely right now which for Matt was very unusual, he's normally always leaking a trail of energy everywhere.

Crew Deck - Messhall

Michael looks confused for a moment before nodding a little. As he starts letting out a rehearsed set of notes all the way up the scale. From a very low note, to a very very high note. Before coughing and doing again, this time with a voice that sounds very similar to Sha'Koro's (it clearly wasn't but it was similar).

He then smiles a little. "I dunno. I-I've always been good at it. T-that and well..." he draws out his tablet and then shows a small microphone on his collar. "I use this. I programmed it with audio mixes and harmonics, it-it lets me alter my voice in ways I can't." He explains, giving a demonstration of its FX's just with a few recited lines of Shakespeare.

Main Deck - Bio Lab

Kyerine bounces up ahead and into the lab, with a spin to present it out to Nebris. "Kyerine her assistant. I help set up equipment and analyse things. That and Kyerine is really good at Chemistry and Physics so I can help Dr Mireille in area's she not as good at and she teaches me about Biology which I still need to learn more about!"

He went over to a nearby counter and pulled himself up to sit on it. "She been doing tests on Kyerine too. Never seem my race before."

With a bit of effort, Greg manages to move his legs over the side of the bed and stand. "...Whoa...!" He starts as he starts to flail forward a bit, catching himself on the wall. His legs felt like jelly after being out for so long. "Geez...I've got no time for this. I've been out for...I don't even know how long. Gotta go check out the bridge." He decides and slowly starts on his way there, using the walls for support.


Tor's Room

"Just a moment." Tor answers and returns to the door, opening it and revealing form, only clothes in a pair of athletic shorts, probably and oddity for the normally formally dressed and lab coat wearing doctor. "Blake? This is a bit of a surprise. What do you need?"


Crew Deck - Elevator

Waiting for Dom.


Amos's Room

At the mention of talking, Amos immediately remembers the main reason he had wanted to talk to Russell. And his nerves immediately shot back up. "O-Oh, right...I had completely f-forgot about that..." He says, finding a sudden interest in the wall on his left. "W-Well...um...it...it's about when...I fixed your watch earlier..."

Straightening up and looking at Toraq with a grave look, his eyes still flickering red with Crimson. "You're getting weird messages and stuff sent to you, aren't you?" He broaches, despite not having been told.

Russell just stares up at the ceiling, still breathing heavily with a small chuckle. "And? I'm not upset that you broke it." He cheerfully responds, a very warm tone in his voice towards his 'big brother'.

At Blake's question, Toraq friend a bit, looking to be thinking. "...How do you know about that?" He says, and pulls out the datapad. He pulls the email he just brought up, looking down at it once more. "...I was sent this." He says, showing it to Blake.

Russell turns his head to look at Amos, who happens to be looking away now. "Okay..? What like?"

The ten year old's friendly tone continued, yet was a little cautious, mostly since if Amos is bringing it up there must be something special about what got downloaded. He was more confused than anything right now.

Crew Quarters - Outside Toraq's room

Blake sighs and gestures to his flickering eyes. "Remember how me and Matt are psions? I fit the storybook ones pretty well, Cronopsionics is my typing. Precogition, farsight, whatever you wanna call it." He waves a dismissive hand like, the fact he sometimes see's the future is no big deal.

He peers at the datapad and looks at it, frowning and passing it back. "That's just a bunch of medical nonsense to me but I was right... Something's been sending these to you. I don't know what but its big. Really big. That and... I saw a image of something worrying." He pauses taking a moment.

"Remember that homicidal AI who invaded the ship with a bunch of insects? I got a vision of her fighting you and the engineer in some weird spaceship or something."

Torvahk looked at Mitch in confusion, not entirely sure what he meant by "hang out". His culture didn't have such slang, or much slang at all for that matter outside of military chat. "Something do we will you mean?" He asked, pausing for a few moments to think of something to do. Eventually Torvahk suggested to Mitch, "Training Room, we go?"

"I mean. I... I.." He seems a little lost on what to say, thoughts of fear in his mind through at how Amos might now think of him depending on what exactly he might have seen/heard.

Blake nods. "She's not one I want to see roaming still. I can't tell you what happened in the fight, doubly given with my visions, this is simply the outcome if I didn't say anything at all. It didn't look good though. There was also this masked kid in the background as well, if that means anything to you..?" He gives what information he could, a hand to his temple.

"I ain't got much otherwise. Except if you need a ship, a very fast one, my fighter and its FTL drive are open to use." Blake had a look like he might know more than he's saying but was being very genuine with his offer.

"After time adrift among open stars, along tides of light and through shoals of dust, I will return to where I began."

Crew Quarters -> Training Room

"Sure." Mitch walks beside Torvahk to the training room. "So what do you wanna do? Weightlifting, sparring..."

"You'll manage." Dominic says. "Yes, he's been showing signs of psychic instability. It's most likely coming from vestiges of his old personality & memories that weren't erased." He takes note to keep a careful eye on the sheathed swords he's carrying.

"So what have you and your dates been up to?" He asks, moving on to something more personal.

"Yep, you're late," Godsgift said cheerfully in response to Lex's question.

At Val's psychic communique, Andris's mouth quirked in a suppressed smile, but ve remained at Silas's side, looking down at his unmoving form.

"He is certainly unusual, as the AIs I've met go," ve said.

"Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey," Godsgift said. "No secret psychic chats about me! That's rude!"

"I haven't the slightest idea what you're talking about," Andris said. "Is the transfer complete?"

"Of course. I told you twenty seconds precisely twenty-seven seconds ago. Now it's just a matter of how long it takes for his brain to accomodate the differences between the new and the old, well, operating system."

He paused as if anticipating that Andris would object to the terminology used, but ve simply nodded. It was as fair a way to refer to Sy's situation as any; he was, after all, technically an AI for the moment. Sort of.

"Do you have any guess as to how long that will take?" ve said after a few seconds.

"Are you kidding? Evolution has no concept of standards. Your internal clocks are a joke. If you asked me how long it would take to install and activate him on my own mainframe, I could give you an answer accurate to within four femtoseconds. But on organic hardware? I don't know. A few minutes? A few hours? Maybe never."

"Maybe never?" Andris repeated, something dangerous in vis voice.

"Probably not never," Godsgift hedged. "But there's a slight chance that there isn't enough overlap between his new and former states. A very slight chance."

"And the less overlap there is, the longer he'll take to wake up?"

"Not quite so simple, but since it's essentially random, sure, feel free to think of it that way."

Andris sighed. Then ve looked to the others.

"I'm going to stay with him until he wakes up," ve said. "I won't ask you to do the same, if you have other matters that require your attention. I'm grateful for your assistance. Once... all this is over, I'll happily offer my services to your crew for as long as you should like."

Troperia Hallway —> Training Room:

"Weights lift we can. Crew strength, know I would like to." Torvahk replied before adding, "Trust for sparring, have know I do not." In a few minutes he'd eventually arrive at the Training Room, glad that it was in the near perfect condition he helped restore it to earlier. He couldn't help but feel lost looking at the scenery, of all the exercise equipment, of the sparring mat with plenty of mirrors to see what one was doing for several yards, and the entrance to the VR Room he barely remembered.
