Not with a Bang Start and Ongoing
"Good Morning passengers. Today is day seven of the month of Imagination." The voice echoes through the train as passengers wake up in their beds. Not long afterwards their SCA’s glow with the colour of the void and a holographic image will appear.
Preperation
They have about an hour to prepare, a little less than usual but perhaps expected, given the urgency of the task.
The cupboards in the dressing room are open to reveal rows of tents, in all four team colours as well as some basic camp cooking equipment. They are in bags that should be easy enough to carry.
"Shortly arriving on System #6416. All passengers get ready to disembark. Next stop world 6416. Exit from void in ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five, four, three, two, one." The train rocks and lurches, bright colours of the void filling the space and then fading as they fly downwards towards a very green landscape.
Arrival and Initial Task
The train lands in a clearing, curving round in an attempt to fit. Once everyone who wishes to disembark has done it flies back into the air, vanishing from sight.
The air is heavy and humid, though it is not currently raining. The clearing is open to the sky and looking up will reveal a worrying sight. The sky is an angry red colour, colours shifting as if the clouds themselves were on fire. It's an unnerving sight.
Their SCA's show three points, one Orange, One purple and one that is half blue and half red. The three control centres. Each are a few hours treck through the jungle and it certainly feels like there is no time to waste.
Those that don't want to treck through the forest can start setting up camp, though the darkening sky might be a little distracting. As time goes on flecks of fire drift down, though they extinguish before hitting the forest floor.
Orange are to travel to the north, Purple to the south and Blue and Red must travel together to the west. Each route takes them through thick and unrelenting jungle. Flying is difficult here unless you can get up past the canopy layer, which means vision of the ground is severely hampered.
The control stations themselves are half buried in vines and require cutting into. If voidtreckers are unlucky they will meet their first security robots here, firing on the intruders. They might even meet their first giant Armadillos, the creatures are curious and may wish to investigate. They are not helpful or constructive to trying to power up the stations and prevent the destruction of the planet.
The control stations are simple enough to operate, but there's quite a lot that needs to be done in way of repairs and clearing. It will take a team effort to get it in working enough order to activate the shield.
The shield itself, when it is activated, is mostly invisible but there is a loud humming sound. The meteor, which has gotten more visible throughout the five hours, hits the shield and splinters, fire enveloping the whole sky. It is visibly terrifying, but no fire falls to earth, no rocks get through, the planet is safe.
Ongoing
Once the planet is safe the voidtreckers deserve a rest. But once the next morning dawns it is time to start with their next tasks, to make sure that this planet stays safe from future threats.
Red
The robots at the control stations are not the only malfunctioning security robots around. They roam the jungle, or are more often stranded in the jungle, powering up only when faced with a new threat.
Some are benign, terraforming machines whose only crime is using up precious power. These need to be dismantled so that power can be saved for the shield system. Others are security robots that will attack the intruders to the planet.
Though the machines are scattered they are often obvious, emitting warning alarms or flashing lights. Their SCA's will show some areas where there are larger clusters but machines can be found anywhere.
Purple
Their SCA's are filled with hundreds of purple dots, each a solar stations that needs cleared and brought back online. It's not the most glamourous job, the stations are deep in the jungle, the treck is difficult and most of the work needed is weed clearing.
But once the weeds have been cut away they will need to patch up the station, doing basic maintenance to get it back online. In some cases wires need to be patched back together but it shouldn't take any great feats of engineering to get the stations up and running.
They may run into some of the security automatons, needing to fight their way into the stations before they can begin the clean up operations.
Orange
Like the red team their SCA will show areas where there are clusters of the small insectoid automatons that need to be rescued and restored. However they can be found anywhere throughout the jungle, they are not too suited for the terrain outside of the stations and so they have gotten tangled in vines. They can be found powered down, stranded and in dire need of maintenance.
Tools and spare parts can be found in many of the solar stations that purple team have been locating. Actually repairing the robots takes some engineering knowledge but once they are restored they will go about their tasks in the stations. They will need help getting to the further flung stations as well as the main control centres.
They are very basic in design and follow pre programmed instructions rather than being able to hear and listen to orders. But once in the correct place they are very effective at their job.
Blue
Once the shield is up there is a faint humming that can be heard throughout the jungle if they listen closely and find it among the sound of rain and insects. But once they hear it, it is obvious where it is louder and more prominent.
Their SCA will pin point some of the larger control boxes but there are truthfully too many to show on a map. Not all of them have attracted Violet Pandas, but many of them have.
They are curious creatures, both of the power boxes and the voidtreckers. They are protective of each other but not so much of territory and therefore it is not difficult to move them on. Keeping them away is another matter, the power humming is interesting and they will unearth wires and chew through them. It doesn't seem to do them much harm, there is clearly safety stops in the system for such eventualities. It does however cut power off to entire solar stations and require a lot of patch work.
Good luck voidtreckers!

Ongoing
"If you could look through the scrap and find me a piece like this." He would hold it out to her. "That's obviously not damaged."
Re: Ongoing
Eva nods and gets back to work looking through the scraps that are slowly being sorted into rough size-based categories.
Eventually, she finds what she needs and hands it over. "What's next?"
no subject
"It's actually not too hard to find which parts are damaged. They don't look right."
no subject
Even with care and a screwdriver, Eva's well aware that damaged doesn't mean it has to come off easily. "When it's off, we'll need-" Give her a second as she looks over the pile of parts. "-This piece, yes?"
It looks like it could fit.
no subject
He flicked his glance over to what was in her hand and he grinned. "That's right."
He pulled the broken piece out carefully.
no subject
No need to tempt fate.
no subject
"It's not like that though, it takes a lot to mess it up like that." Senku assured her. "I've broken enough things on purpose to know."
no subject
"I think I'm going to need to bug you to teach me some of the basics then at least. Don't get me wrong; I can pry the shells or casings open, but after that-"
She shrugs.
Little does she know that's what's going to happen in the aftermath of this mission.
no subject
"They all look the same. So if you saw this piece here without a wire, you might think the wire was missing. It's equally easy to know that if you pull one out that you need to replace it there instead of looking around for where it might go."
no subject
"Hmm, but these are these robots, yes?" She's not doubting him in the least when it comes to this, it's more -. "Or have all the ones we've needed to repair been like this?"
no subject
"They're typically made so that they're easy enough to assemble, or fix even if there's nuance to robots. It's not usually the machinery that the complex part, it's the programming."
no subject
"I think I understand enough to have a go myself with one of them."
Knowing her luck, she's gonna end up with one of the more complicated ones, but. She's gonna try her best!
no subject
"So feel free. If you make a mistake it's not irreperable unless you explode it, which is pretty hard to do so I'll be able to help you correct it. Trying is probably the most important part."
no subject
She's gonna live to regret those words, yep. As it is, the robot she ends yo grabbing to work one is very much one of the more complicated ones once she gets the first busted panel off.
"Um."
Her life. Why.
no subject
He did stop what he was doing to come watch, though, if that was more encouraging to her.
no subject
It's slow going- very slow going, but so far, she seems to be doing ok. Probably. Everything looks right at least.
no subject
no subject
Smoke starts to rise from the thing.
"Um. I think I broke it..."
Or possibly set something on the inside on fire. No Big Deal!
no subject
"I sit enough on the damn train. I'm not used to that." He hummed. "To be fair it was already broken. Do you want me to take a look?"
no subject
Her work is solid even with the mild damage. She's definitely managed to connect a few things in the wrong order by accident.
At least it's not on fire. Yet.
no subject
"Ah, you're close see?" He gestured and started taking wires. "Just a bit mixed up here." He demonstrated. "You've got power, obviously since we've got smoke."
Yeah. At least nothing was on fire, he couldn't help but think which immediately made that potentially imminent.
Up to you if you want a fire or not!
"Yeah, but no fire though, and that's good..."
And will hopefully remain that way. "Though, if we get a first, what's that mean?"
Other than Very Not Good at least.
They should, based on Senku's luck, but I'll let him have a win XD
He shrugged. The smoke should stop a moment later as he unhooked things and he leaned in to blow a few times and then hooked it up properly.
"See here, how it's colour coded?"
They can have a win for sure. Also want to start wrapping maybe?
At least they'd managed to avoid a fire. "Yeah, but some of them kinda look the same colour almost..." She pointed to some of the blacks and whites. "Or would that just be dirt and dust from how long it's been suck out here?"
Yep let's wrap it
There it was, a light turning on as he snapped the panel shut.
wrap?
