Deep Dweller: Start
After the dreams some of the voidtreckers report on day Four of Grasshopper those that have been on the train for a little while will be expecting what comes the next day. Their SCA's glow with the colour of the void and a holographic image will appear.
Preparations and Arrival
As promised the dressing carriage is opened for optional extras. There are flight suits, similar to those they wore into space but without the helmets. There are instead hard hats and some basic climbing gear as well as bags to put supplies in. There are even a few red tents if any of those planning on tackling red's mission want to grab one, they hold six people in two inner compartments and are relatively easy to put up and take down.
They have a few hours of preparation before the announcement comes. Soon approaching system #789327772. Planet Terra. Drop order: Orange, Red, Blue, Purple. Orange to doors. Leaving the void in ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five, four, three, two, one. A sharp jerk, a judder and the view from the window changes from the void to dark cloudy skies and very red sand.
They land smoothly, and indeed it seems they have landed on train tracks. A few moments later they pull up outside a huge metal and glass building.
Orange Team
Arrival
Jumping down from the train they will find themselves outside large metal gates. Noticable is the spotlights that shine even in the day time, reflecting oddly off the red sand. It is hot and dry outside, a slight breeze sending red dust rolling around their feet.
The gates aren't locked. There is no lock though they will notice devices that are probably security cameras. The doors are glass and inside is light and airy. They enter into a large lobby, a large circular desk in the centre and a glass walled waiting room to the side.
It is empty. No people at all. All the lights are on. Time to explore.
Exploration
Going up two floors and down five the lab is large and full of all manner of interesting things. Scientific equipment, monitoring stations measuring chemical levels in the air, temperature, water levels. Where to even start is a good question. The lights remain on, which might be annoying at night.
Red Team
Arrivals
Red team to doors. The train continues travelling along the train tracks, looking out the windows they will see endless rolling red sand. Factories rising up from the ground, dotted across the landscape. As the train gets close the air outside seems hazier, through the fumes. They may even see in the distance, strange silver floating orbs.
Eventually it pulls up at a station. Just a raised block really, but easy enough for red team to disembark.
The land stretches out around them. Train tracks criss cross the surface but apart from that there don't seem to be any boundaries. No fences, roads or sign posts.
It won't take them long to find the first orbs, strange silvery spheres and seem almost liquid, until they are not.
Night Time
It grows dark quickly after sunset here, which might take them by surprise. Taking them more by surprise however may be the scraping, scuttling noises in the dark. Skittering close. There is no light out here on the surface, they are far away from the research facility that Orange found themselves in.
If anyone manages to catch a glimpse they will see grey, long limmbed creatures. They shy away from light but anyone in the dark is likely to be attacked. They fight with claws and teeth.
When the sun rises they are gone.
Blue Team
Arrival
Blue team to doors. The train continues across the landscape, passing more orbs, just floating there silently. It stops at the entrance of a cave.
The cave slopes downwards into darkness and soon turns into small tunnels. They don't need to go far when they meet the first ground of Gry. A group of young Gry, practising with spears in an wider section of cave.
Despite being very surprised at the sudden visitors no weapons are pointed at the voidtreckers, instead they are met with curiosity. They are soon led further into the tunnels and soon come to the living areas.
The Gry lead simple lives but they are all pretty fascinated to see their visitors and will allow them to look around their home and answer any questions they have.
Night Time
Most of the Gry sleep in a large communal sleeping area and the Voidtreckers are welcome to join them, though the Gry won't be insulted if they choose to seek out a more private area.
If the Voidtreckers awake in fear in the night, after strange dreams they will find they are not alone. Many of the Gry have awoken too and will reassure the Voidtreckers, tell them it is an honour to communicate with The Burrower.
Purple
Arrival
Purple team to doors. The train continues on the tracks and soon enters a tunnel itself. It's a bit of a bumpy trip, this train was clearly not made for warren systems but after some uneasy twists and turns they pull to a stop.
They are at a train station, not that it's easy to see because it is pitch black. But it is clear there are people around, some looking very confused at the very odd train.
Once the last of those going on the mission leave the train it speeds off into the darkness.
The Terran's are large and tower over most of the voidtreckers but they are friendly enough, if a little confused, once it is explained that they are here to help. They will be led over towards the collapsed section of city.
There is a lot of activity. People digging at rubble, others using their sheer size and strength to hold up beams. There is an array of rescue equipment and a group of official-looking Terran's holding large devices that are comparable to a tablet-computer and discussing solutions.
There is plenty to do to help, smaller rubble to clear, injured people to tend to. Worried Terran's to calm and reassure. Those brave enough can volunteer to use their smaller size to help get supplies through to those trapped and those with any scientific know how, great strength or magic can put their skills to good use.
Rest Time
Throughout the day people are rescued and other parts of the tunnels stabilised. There is more work to be done but the Terran's seem to be working in shifts and they will encourage their surprise allies to rest as well. They will offer to host them.
They live in large groups and will happily invite the voidtreckers into their homes. They will be curious about the voidtreckers but will also answer questions. Telling them about the strange storm and the collapse of the tunnels. They are urged to sleep early and the next day it will be back to work.

"I should be alright for now. Hopefully there'll be somewhere to sit further on down." And he wouldn't feel as if he was being compressed.
/just tags
"It's called the Mason's word. Watch."
With that, she began to speak - quietly and politely - in the Speech to the nearest wall, one hand pressed gently against it.
/Excuse me, I just need a little extra room for my friend here - just for him, you won't have to hold it that long.../
And, obligingly, the rock shifted. Enough so that the urge to hunch over would be lessened, that he couldn't touch the ceiling.
"It should only do that where you walk, and it'll stop when we get all the way down," Nita announced, pulling her hand back. "But... how's it feel?"
no subject
Slowly... Gladio tried to straighten up. The rocks moved with him, lifting out of his way. And Gladio burst out into happy laughter. "Nita? You're amazing! I bet you get that a lot, but you're seriously amazing! They'll just move out of my way like this? Is it temporary?"
no subject
"It's temporary, yeah, and it's pretty likely I'll have to ask again the next time we go through a tunnel. But the rock can take care of itself for now."
She added a whispered /Thanks/ in the Speech, before thumbing in the direction of the rest of the group.
"Onward? We should be able to chat while we walk if you want, too."
no subject
"Sure, c'mon, come talk to me some." Gladio was in a MUCH better mood now that he was able to actually stand. It didn't much help the ache he'd already earned, but that would soon go away he was sure.
no subject
"Might be good to ask about relations with the Terra, how long they've been growing plants... these visions they're reporting can't be divorced from all context, right?"
And the Gry might not only want to talk about them, either, or talk about them at all. Other options would be good to have in store.
no subject
"Honestly, diplomacy and politics aren't really my thing. Always left that stuff to Iggy... But you sure asking about their relationship with the other guys is a bright idea? If they don't like each other, could give them the wrong impression..." He thought for a moment.
"... Me? I'd offer to help first. Ask where we're needed. Show them we're here to be of use. Earn their trust. Then maybe they'll open up some."
no subject
There was a reason the Mason's Word effect was temporary.
Nita shot Gladio a wry smile.
"Probably won't go any better than asking the Terrans about the Gry - but the Gry are the ones growing plants, so I can always start there instead."
Maybe see if they could get anything else growing before the Voidtreckers had to leave...
no subject
Gladio laughed. "Plants would be an easy topic. Get em talking about something they know and enjoy. They'll soon open up about everything else without you even trying." He flashed a wide smile. "Pretty sure everyone likes to gossip about the weirdo's next door." And he'd be surprised if these guys were any different.
no subject
"Depends on how you define gossip, though..."
She glanced back up the tunnel again.
"I bet they'll have opinions about all those train tracks the Terrans have. And the factories."
no subject
"I don't know if it needs definition. Just meant I'm sure they'd be more than willing to open up about the Terrans once we've earned their trust. I'd guess they don't get many visitors around these parts to talk to." And if they'd already been offering their help, maybe the Gry would think they could help with other things? Who knew?
"Even I have opinions on that." Gladio's smile fell into an unhappy scowl. "Did you see the sky? Those factories have poisoned it, right?"
no subject
Only one way to find out, really.
Nita frowned, nodding.
"Though whether it was unlivable before they started living underground, or if they always lived underground and just now achieved industrialization..."
Either way, not a happy tale to uncover, from what Nita can guess.
"Something we can get people on Team Purple to ask about too."
no subject
"We'll find out what's goin on, one way or another."
