Under the Sea: Mission start

[voidtreckermods]

After fleeing the strange shapes in the sky the voidtreckers are perhaps not looking forward to yet another mission and indeed the first few days of Fiddlesticks go by without any strange dreams, no warning that another mission might be nigh. Yet on the morning of day five their SCA's will glow with the colours of the void and a holographic message will appear.

Preperations

The dressing room is open once again, though the clothes this time are simple in choice. A wet suit for each void trecker as well as a pair of flippers, a helmet and a breathing pack. It at least has instructions and there will be a little bit of time for them to figure out how to use them. Apart from that there are some waterproof packs for supplies to be packed in.

They will have a couple of hours to get ready for their mission.

Arrival: Blue and Red

"We are now approaching world #7625000129523. Drop order is Red and Blue, Purple then Orange. Red and Blue team to doors. Arrival in world #7625000129523 in ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five, four, three, two, one."

The train shudders and lurches as they exit the void, the view from the window goes from the ever shifting void to a beautiful deep blue sky. They fly through the air and swoop down to land on a sandy beach. The doors open allowing those who are taking part in the Blue and Red missions to debark. The doors close and the train swoops up into the air.

The beach stretches from one side to the other, in the distance as the beach turns into sloping green hills they can see a village. Beyond that there is a jungle. Any red team who check their SCA will see four points, the rock pools.

The villagers have noticed the huge train sweeping down onto their island and so contact is made quickly. They will be quite accepting of the help and explain the situation. They will help any of red team to the rockpools if asked.

Red

The rockpools are built up and indeed made so the water will reach a persons waist if they stand in them. The water is cold but not overly so. When the water shoots up anyone in them will shoot up also.

They will find themselves in a vortex of water, with anyone else who enters that rockpool. The water itself seems to be fighting them, tendrils of water reaching out of the whirlpool to try and drag them further into the chaos. It takes a whole lot of willpower to stay in the centre, the water can be fought with weapons, even with fists. They feel as if they are falling or flying, perhaps both. Surrounded by the pure chaos of the ocean.

Blue

Hopefully they spend the day helping with preparations because when night falls the monsters emerge from the sea. Terrifying twisted creatures. The villagers only have simple weapons but will tell them that fire is helpful against these water creatures.

Hold off the monsters and keep the people safe.

Purple

The doors close and the train flies off into the sky, flying over the island to the other side where it lands on a rocky bay, near tall towering cliffs.

"Purple team to doors." The doors open, allowing the purple team to disembark before flying off once again.

In the cliff face there is a large cave entrance, over the entrance there are symbols, translated by their SCA's. Clear mind, clear heart. Come those who seek to serve.

There are six people stood by the entrance, looking quite surprised at the new arrivals. One, a woman with silver hair recovers enough to speak first. "Ah. Void warriors. We are honoured by your help."

Once introductions are made the spiritual leaders will happily accept the escort and their adventure can begin.

Orange

They fly up and out across the ocean, a longer flight than before but eventually they descend and there is a slight juddering before they land, floating on the ocean.

"Orange team disembark, please use luggage or dressing carriage doors only."

They will step out onto an inflated platform that streches around the train. Down below are the depths of the water and their SCA's show them at the point of Bui. It is below them so all they need to is dive.

The dive takes a while, and depends on their swimming ability but hopefully with a bit of teamwork they arrive at the silent city of Bui.

"I'm just going to be boiling pasta and making a spaghetti with the sauce we have. I wasn't to add something to the sauce, but I don't know what yet though."

[sensitiveapple]

"What's spaghetti?" She asks, curious. It's not a word she's ever heard. "Is there a lot of meat in it?" She doesn't like meat in her food. She'll eat some, but not a lot.

[sizedoesntmatter]

"It's a pasta dish and well it depends on what kind of sauce you'd want on it. Not all are meat, some is just sauce." The just sauce ones were enjoyable really.

[sensitiveapple]

"Can we make it without meat?" She's getting hungry. She doesn't know if this is going to go well, or not, but she really wants to eat and having it without meat is better in her opinion.

[sizedoesntmatter]

"Of course," he replied as he went to grab what he needed which at least was for the most part tomatoes.

"We can start with making the sauce first before we even consider doing the pasta because that won't take aa long."

[sensitiveapple]

"There's sauce in the fridge!" She says, bouncing over to get some out. "I just don't know if there's meat in it or not?" She says. Then she finds a label on it. "Vegetarian. Does that mean the same thing everywhere?" She really doesn't want to eat a lot of meat.

[sizedoesntmatter]

"Yes, vegetarian means there shouldn't be any meat in it." Which at the moment was a good thing as he was already starting to make preparations, going as far as to make sure he had the pasta ready to.

"So it should be fine"

[sensitiveapple]

She nods. That's good. "Thank you, for doing this. People are going to be starving when they come back, and while I can make a peanut butter sandwich, that's not good enough."

[sizedoesntmatter]

"It's still something though. Still something people can eat." he continued what he was doing all the while talking.

"But...I do understand not feeling like your doing much. I couldn't help this mission because I can't tolerate being underwater for long periods or...that far down really." he had moved to cut up the tomatoes that were there before going to put them into the sauce.

"But hey, learning to cook something new will help in the long run too."

[sensitiveapple]

"Courtesans don't swim." She repeats what she's been telling everyone from the beginning of this mission. "Meaning I can't swim, and wouldn't be worth anything on this mission. It's why I've been doing chores around the train."

[sizedoesntmatter]

"Makes sense, but at least you are doing your part to help, rather than not doing anything at all." Which is what he is at least trying to do when he can or figure out what is needed anyway.

"Plus you might learn how to make a sauce that is vegetarian as well."

[sensitiveapple]

She laughs. "Oh, no. I'm not going to cook!" She says, smiling. "I leave that to people who have far more inclination than I do." She shakes her head. "But I'll help clean up. No reason I shouldn't."

[sizedoesntmatter]

"Okay, then I guess I'll best get on with this then." he didn't know if there would be enough but he went about it regardless. Sure there might not be enough for everyone, but he was at least making sure.

Once he was sure it was cooked anyway he looked over. "That's it done."
