( shortly after the dossiers drop, and after a hurried convo, McCoy and Yzak hop on the network and get right to business. Bones takes the lead: )

McCoy here–

Since we have our marching orders, I'd like to remind everyone to refill your first aid kit or, if you're new, to come pick one up in the infirmary. Please refrain from eating anything outta them. ( he looks temporarily haunted. don't ask. there's labels on everything for a reason. )

In addition to the included info sheet, a digital pamphlet is now accessible via your earpieces, with a choice of languages and narration provided by your fellow orbers. Thank you again, to those of you who've added to the available database. If you don't see your native language, come find me or Nurse Cabrera. We'll make sure to add it.

( Your choices of languages and vocals are:

Chinese: Wei Wuxian
Common Speech: Yennefer
English: Rita & Marta
Federation Standard: Jim
Galactic Basic: Finn
Japanese: Yujin & Itachi A Female Option
Korean: Jake
Ravkan & Old Ravkan: Alina
Russian: Natasha
Spanish: Marta )


As we're heading off into the black, I've synthesized an additional stock of single dose Tri-Ox for everyone.

( he holds up a slim silver cylinder the size of a pen, flat on both ends, and mimes delivering it to his own shoulder over his shirt.)

If you're caught in a low-oxygen situation, administer it like so. The needle-less hypospray will go through most fabrics, and it should give you a couple of hours before hypoxia sets in, instead of seconds.

Unless you freak out and panic, so try not to do that,

( McCoy composes himself, looking solemn. )

I've asked Viveca about puttin' together a permanent memorial for the orbers, past and present. While we may ultimately leave the Ximilia behind, I feel that there should be something left to honor everyone, their efforts and sacrifices, and the relationships we've all forged here.

Though I've offered up my own ideas on it what it should be, I don't feel right bein' the only voice of a project that concerns all of us.

Please contact Viveca or Degar with your thoughts and suggestions.

( Good? Good. Bones gestures aside. )

Now, I'd like to cede the floor to Yzak, to share what we've been working on the past couple months for you all.

( Yzak appears on the network, expression all serious business as usual. )

We've been focused on expanding the space program that's available to access in the simulation room. We were fine-tuning some final, minute details just prior to receiving our new briefing, so it's just been uploaded as the information will be essential to know for the upcoming mission.

It contains what you'll need to know about all manners of getting around in space. Moving in as well as adjusting to and from zero-g, specific differences as to how space shuttles are operated and kept safe, the ins and outs of wearing and operating an EVA suit. We also have a variety of emergency procedures programmed in, all with a number of different actions available that one can take in response to them, and much more.

It'll be wisest to familiarize yourself with at least these basics by the time we head out. For active training we have shuttle flights set to get the feel of entering and exiting a planet's atmosphere, zero gravity spacewalks, how EVA suits feel on a foreign planet, and other scenarios where you'll need recall and utilize all of the things you learn. While we cannot guarantee that we will see the same things on the mission, familiarity will go a long way.

Between the three of us – Jim Kirk, the doctor, and myself – we figure that since we're being split up into separate groups, we each focus on the team members we're dispatched with. The first group can come to me for simulation training over the next two days, the second to Doctor McCoy, and the third to Jim.

We're all available at any time between now and our departure.

( OOC: Yzak & McCoy will be around just a bit for questions, so feel free to specify who your character's reaching out to! More info about the space training is here. Due to OOC time constraints, the basic training will be handwaved, just please know it takes roughly 9 hours to complete!

Viv & Degar can be reached out to here for memorial ideas! Lastly, check out the holiday survey below! whew. )

[WHAT THE FUUUUUUUCK.

Unsurprisingly, Ryunosuke is not the biggest fan of the police, in the broadest sense? Given his own experience, and the experiences of... Um. Nearly all of his clients. Chuuta doesn't strike him as the sort to go waving a gun about while lecturing people about the integrity of Scotland Yard, though.

He also is unfortunately under the delusion that the existence of the police is just an inescapable fact of life, and therefore hopes/believes it's maybe theoretically possible for there to be 'good' cops, like he hopes Gina will be one day, but we'll give him a break on that bc he's from freaking 1899.

Anyway. There's a bit of a pause before he gets it together to answer again, with another question, in a faintly confused tone:]


...What is there to police out in space, anyway?

We handled a lot of like, alien smuggling rings taking Earth resources off planet for sale, or aliens committing crimes against Earthlings, or aliens committing crimes against other aliens who were also visiting Earth. Or like, tourists who lost their visas and stuff.
locumstudentesquire: (Well. Alright then.)

[personal profile] locumstudentesquire 2023-04-15 07:58 pm (UTC)(link)
Aliens. [He repeats the word flatly.] Earth has encountered... Aliens. In your timeline.

Not.... exactly? Like, there are aliens on Earth, but Earthlings aren't supposed to know about them. I kind of found out accidentally.
locumstudentesquire: (Oh?)

[personal profile] locumstudentesquire 2023-04-19 02:31 am (UTC)(link)
Were they hiding or something?
