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!

At least this assignment, while as urgent as all of the other ones, didn't have an element of danger in it, like the ice from the last mission. This one just had animals and trying to take care of them.
"I think that would be a good idea and we have one here to help us test." He nodded towards a grove of plants nearby. "Let's try those first."
They were close enough to the machines that it was possible if the animals came to feed on them, then they were subsequently attracted to the machines.
no subject
Then again, they prevented that first one. It gives Madoka enough faith that the other teams being out there means they'll make sure to prevent any others too, leaving their team free to just deal with these animals.
Madoka stares at some of the plants around before tearing a leaf off one of them. She turns back to WangJi and the panda, holding it out and speaking up with a gentle voice.
"There, little one, do you feel like eating this one?"
no subject
WangJi walked with Madoka as she started heading towards one of the plants that were nearby. The panda, of course, came with him mainly because it didn't have many other options. Not that it really expressed a desire to want to be anywhere else. As she turned with the leaf, offering it to the panda, it clearly reached for it, taking it from her hand and starting to snack on it.
Lucky panda. Gets to be carried around and get food handed to it.
"Seems like he does like it."
no subject
Madoka's face lights up at the sight. Maybe since she's relieved to have found something the creature actually likes, but also just since.. well, who doesn't love the sight of an adorable panda eating? There's no way Madoka couldn't be weak for that.
"He does! Maybe we should gather a lot of these plants then and take them along to a safe spot where we can keep all the animals together!"
no subject
"Yes, I think that is good. If nothing else, it will act as encouragement for others to come over." Carefully balancing his panda friend, he would start helping her gather plants, which of course panda friend thought were for him.
no subject
But Madoka does quickly go to work with gathering up plants. It just feels nice to be able to do something that helps out, even if it's something as little as gathering things that could lead the wildlife over to where they're supposed to go. Though her arms are starting to get pretty full pretty quickly..
And glancing over to WangJi, she can't help but worry he must have even more trouble with that, since he's also balancing the panda.
"You know.. Maybe we should go get something to carry all these plants in." Maybe they can find a basket somewhere? Or something shaped like it? "Then we can put our new panda friend somewhere safe too, so you don't have to carry it the whole time, sir."
His arm must be getting sore, she figures.
no subject
But it seemed to at least be attracting attention. The curious animals could see them doing stuff and possibly that one of their friends was getting free food and didn't want him to have all the fun. Well, it helped them at least as some of them began making their way in their direction.
"Hmm... we can fashion something out of one of the tents for the purpose of carrying plants. I think we have enough at the moment that we can keep them distracted for some time while we get more. Let's carry what we have a little further off and get these ones settled. We can get then get more."
His arm is nowhere near tired, but even if it was, he wouldn't complain.
no subject
It does sound like a good idea, she thinks.. Especially since they're starting to be surrounded by more and more of these animals, as if they're some sort of Disney princesses. They might as well bring these over to a safer place, while they've got them all in one place.
So after nodding at WangJi, Madoka momentarily turns towards the animals with a smile.
"Guys, let's all come along, okay? Then you can all have some food!"
She starts walking, and the animals do start following her! Although it's probably more because of the plants she's carrying in her arms that they're eyeing rather than what she was saying..
no subject
"It does seem to be working. Where do you think is a good spot to arrange the food for them?"
no subject
"Maybe we should try to see if we can find some clearing somewhere around here? That way it'd be easier to keep an eye on all of them."
Since otherwise the pandas may wander off into some bushes before they even realise it..
"Though I'm not sure if we can find one of those around here.."
no subject
"Hmm... yes, a clearing would help for making sure they hadn't wandered off where we couldn't see them. If they went further into the forest that would be fine, but chances are they will return to the machines." He glanced around as well, trying to see if he could spot somewhere that might be suitable for placing their food. "I think there is something of a clearing over there. It is not completely clear, but it is better than others."
no subject
She's already starting to head in that direction now. Since WangJi has pointed the clearing out and Madoka can spot it, it really doesn't look like it's too far away! Then both they and the pandas will be able to take a break for a moment.
Or, at least..
"I hope there aren't any of those loud robots around there." Because they're a little scary. But even so.. "A-Although I can fight them if I have to! I have my bow!"
She points at the one she's carrying on her back, along with her arrows.
Those probably aren't going to do too much to a robot, but maybe it's the positive mindset that counts, huh.
no subject
"I hope not as well. They would certainly upset the pandas." Because that's what was important. The care of the pandas. "I also have weapons as well if we have to."
He suspected, like his guqin's music, the arrows might not be the best weapons against robots, but he is loathed to discourage her. She was willing to fight them which was admirable.
"Hopefully, we won't have to."
Finally, they arrived at the spot and WangJi knelt to begin arranging the plants that he had gathered. His trailing pack of pandas immediately rushed over and the one he'd been carrying around scrambled down to get his share as well.
no subject
Thankfully Madoka is a sweet enough girl that she doesn't think badly of his words in the slightest. If anything, she just admires his dedication towards the care for these pandas! He truly must be a responsible adult!
And as she too puts down the plants she's been carrying, Madoka can't resist taking a very momentary break to squat down and gently pat one of the pandas as it starts eating.
"Ah, they're so cute.. I really hope they won't wind up in trouble either."
no subject
WangJi stood back for a moment watching as the pandas ate the plants that they had brought over. Of course, some of them were also playing with them too, but such was the nature of animals. He couldn't help a faint smile, both at the pandas and that she was able to finally get to pet one.
"They are. I hope that they won't. It would be a shame. Shall we gather more to try and bring more over?"
no subject
Madoka immediately stands back up, at attention. Of course she'd rather spend time sitting here and petting these adorable creatures, but she knows there is work to be done. A lot of work, judging by just how many of these animals may be out there, all in danger..
"Let's keep doing our best together!" They're doing good so far, after all! Even Madoka feels like she's actually contributing for once.
no subject
Once the work was done and they looked to see if the pandas would stay away from the devices for a little bit, then they could pet them if they were willing.
WangJi unpacked his tent from his qiankun pouch, laying the fabric down to arrange it so it was easier to carry. Now it was a sling for carrying food for the pandas.
