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!

Tidus had come along with Red initially, but Red and Blue were going through the same path, so it made no difference there. But he's considering Piccolo's idea. Not so much along the same lines as Madoka brings up
in the above thread, but...Well, the fact that Blue was mostly all kids, having Piccolo go full blast would be potentially traumatising.
"Maybe we can keep with the small blasts?" Hrrrmm. "We don't wanna break anythin'. ... Do you wanna go ahead, Piccolo?"
Was he getting antsy? He can move more freely than the rest of them...
no subject
There definitely was and Piccolo definitely knew about it. He wasn't dumb enough to not read the preliminary information nor was he forgetful enough to misremember it. But he was roguish enough to pretend that he wasn't certain.
The Namekian glanced back at the teams trailing close behind. Of course with the jungle as thick as it was and how spread out they all were not everyone could be seen at once but the point was he looked back at the people he could see back there. They were important.
"...I don't know. It seems better if we all stick together." By which he really meant 'I shouldn't go too far in case you people need me' because that's just how he had started to act on missions after a few had passed. "Besides, I can cut through this easier than most. At least I can clear the vines and brush out of the way to make it easier for traveling. One path through the jungle isn't too bad, is it?"
No, seriously. Was it? That was normal, right? Paths were fine. They didn't intrude too much. As long as they weren't too big or too many. Right?
no subject
Which, let's hope Tidus opening his dumb mouth doesn't make a ravine between where they need to go and their path to it open up. The maps weren't exactly detailed for those 'small' details. But they were doing as best they could under the circumstances.
"There's gonna be a few paths by the end of this though. Train's expecting us to do this," the whole 'stop meteorites from crashing into the planet' problem, "and there's no way we're going to get through this without making as many as we need. How else are you going to save the pandas?"
Specially, you, Piccolo, and Tidus looks at him as he says it.
no subject
"Don't look at me when you're saying that. I'm not an animal babysitter." He's not even really a people babysitt--oh, wait, he totally is. Not even just here on the train while they were out on missions, but back home he babysat for his best friend and his wife. Well, least they weren't talking about that!
"I'll just keep making paths so you can save all the cute little critters." He made a face as if saying that made his teeth hurt.
no subject
"I'd love to help out," Tidus starts, absolutely like he's got something cheeky to say, "but I was thinking about helping Red with their robot problem! We just happen to be going the same way today." A sigh in his voice. "It's too bad you're the Blue leader... but that's alright - I bet you'll be great at the job! I believe in you!"
So much trust and faith in you, Piccolo!
no subject
A frustrated little blush of purple entered Piccolo's cheeks as Tidus merrily mocked him. He made a small sound of discontent and turned his nose up.
"...I'm better at escorting people than taking care of pets. I'll stick with fighting off the stray robots while keeping an eye on my team members."
So....there. Hah!
no subject
"You sure, Piccolo?" But maybe he's got to sound a little doubtful, before agreeing cheerily: "Yeah, I know you won't let anyone get hurt on your watch. Romeo and Madoka will be counting on you! And all the others!"
But especially the cutest kids.
"I'll help out too, whenever you need it! ... ... just, I'll skip the panda babysitting too."
no subject
Tidus had to bring up the children, didn't he. How did such a brat know exactly how to press all of his buttons? What had he done to deserve this? Problem was, Tidus was one of his favorites, too, so it's not like he had an easy time telling the blond off.
All right, that was it. Tidus was getting extra push-ups and meditation thrown into his lessons once they were back on the train!!!
"Fine. The kids will probably have more fun with the animals anyway."
That's what kids liked, right? Cute, fluffy animals. Sounded right to him.
no subject
Tidus of the now: absolutely thrilled to see Piccolo admit to his soft spot for the kids (don't you know, it's in the things you don't say). It's alright Piccolo, even though there's a chuckle behind his teeth as he walks, it's a pleasant one. He's not laughing at Piccolo, honest...!
"If herding animals is all they gotta do, it'll be better than last mission. It was a good thing we got those heatstones at the end there. The kids deserve an easy one after a mission like that!"
The top was bad with the battling going on against the ice elementals, but that climb alone. It was colder than even Mt. Gagazet, a frost that easily made him feel chilled to the bone to recall.
no subject
Which, for Piccolo, wasn't entirely not fun either. He could fix things but what was really fun was the fighting robots part. He could do that all day. He didn't really need the excuse of protecting others for that but it did keep him on track rather than just getting distracted by the fighting altogether.
