Event: Abort! Part One
Until now there has been one mission in every month. The practice in Apple and since then one for each month. So for those that have been on the train for a while they will be extremely surprised when on the twenty fifth day of the month of Egret their SCA’s glow gold and a hologram appears. Another mission.
Strange or not preparations need to be made, the voidtreckers are needed, strange timing or not.
Preperations
As promised the dressing room is open once again and there is a collection of leggings, shirts and tunics. All are in bold, differing shades of team colours and are made of sturdy material. There are a couple of cloaks, like those they wore in the goblin world they look medieval in style but will keep rain off as well as a modern raincoat.
As usual they have about an hour of preparation time, to gather supplies, get changed and help those who need more help disguising themselves to do so.
Arrival
”We are now approaching world#27462947582. Warning: Exit from void in ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five, four,” Hopefully even those who are new know to hold on or sit down by now. ”Three, two, one.” A jolt and a lurch and the void from outside the windows disappears to show green grass and a blue sky.
The Voidtrecker Express has landed in a small dip between two hills. Tall enough to mostly hide it and once everyone who wishes to disembarks it vanishes.
The voidtreckers, on climbing the hill, will find they are inside the city walls, just. Here it is mostly farmland still but as they move towards the centre there are more houses and things become more crowded and bustling. The city is big enough that an influx of strangers doesn’t turn many heads.
Their SCA has a map, red team’s has a marker for the northern gate, purple’s show the position of guard posts. Orange and Blue’s shows the main gates that lead out into the kingdom beyond.
Red Team
Getting to the northern gate doesn’t take all that much time and they are let out without much fuss, though fair warnings about the monsters out there. It is clear that though this city is nominally guarded and walled, it has been a long time since there has been war here and people can come and go as they wish.
The desert is, much as can be expected. It is more a scrub land rather than rolling dunes of sand but the land is cracked and dry. They have to move at least an hour away from the city before they come across any monsters at all.
When they do they are strange almost-boar looking creatures. They are vicious and will attack on sight, charging with huge tusks and teeth that are far too sharp to belong to a natural creature. They are clearly intelligent, even if they don’t seem to have language. But they never come across more than five at once and there doesn’t seem to be any movement of them towards the city.
Purple Team
The guard posts are only have a few guards there at any one time. Though questioning any of them the voidtreckers will learn that there are other guards in the city, ready to come to the defence of the walls if the alarm is ever sounded. Those on the walls are there to keep watch.
It might take a little bit of persuading but there isn’t a huge problem with purple team being allowed up onto the walls. As long as they don’t seem to be causing or bringing trouble.
The surrounding countryside is clear. To the north is the desert but to the east, west and south there are rolling hills of green. The kingdom that this city is part of.
For them it is a few hours of tedium and anticipation. Watching the landscape, waiting for a threat. The other soldiers are curious enough that they could be coaxed into conversation or a game of dice.
Blue Team and Orange Team
It is very difficult to convince a city full of people who have not known danger in a long time that they have to pack up and leave.
There are difficult shop keepers, confused farmers, worried parents.
Some are able to be ready quickly and so can follow the Blue team out of the southern gates. It might take more than one group, with a few blue team going with each one. The kingdom isn’t particularly dangerous but who knows when that may change. Keeping everyone together and moving will be the challenge here.
For Orange team there are plenty of logistical problems to get stuck into. Animals need moving, people need help packing or wrangling small children. Older people need help finding carts to ride.
Not to mention the very stubborn ones who will take a lot of persuading. Those who were on the goblin world have had practice in this already of course, and hopefully have tips to share.

We deal with Akuma and help them by destroying them and freeing their souls.
no subject
[ She nods, as if this made perfect sense to her.
... then: ]
What... exactly... are Akuma?
no subject
Akuma are machines or weapons created by the Millenium Earl by using the grief of someone who lost a loved one to recall their soul and trap it. This is what is used in an Akuma. [he is not going to explain what happens after that part because he thinks that would be a little too much.]
But as I said they are weapons that are used to kill humans and my goal is to stop them while freeing the souls that are trapped and are crying out for help.
no subject
[ "Gruesome", she says, while looking absolutely fascinated. ]
What an awful idea, to use someone's love against them like that. I can hardly imagine what an awful mind someone would need to have to come up with such a thing!
no subject
... Yeah... and they condemn the person's souls to be trapped in a shell and left to be miserable. I... get feeling grief and for wanting a loved one back, but... not at that cost.
no subject
[ This is... uncharacteristically somber, coming from Bryn. Of course, this being... well, Bryn, she still has a bit of cheer as she says it, but it's very much toned down from her usual degree of high tempo energy. ]
no subject
I'm glad to see someone understands that.
no subject
I suppose you could say I've learned the hard way.
no subject
But you still do get those who mourn and I can understand that too. Losing a loved on.
no subject
[ She trails off, and then gives her head a little shake. ]
This is quite a gruesome topic, isn't it? What a terrible omen for our upcoming mission.
no subject
[Knowing his luck it might go bad now without that topic ever coming up.]
I am sure it will go well. I mean with everyone here doing their best how could it not?
no subject
[ And then she... laughs... what an awful joke to make. ]
no subject
Really should head off and start the mission. Sooner we do the sooner they get the help.
no subject
You can go ahead. I'm going to keep looking and see if there's any armour at all in here...
