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!

[ He jokes, but also in a jungle like this, with so much flora and fauna they don't know about for certain...His little overthinking brain can't help but go there. ]
Might be the least of our worries, but I hope we don't get alien insects biting us over there. [ He thinks deeply, a hand under his chin. Turns to Tidus, seriously. ] Hey, bring some long-sleeved options. And long pants. Cover up in case we run into such a type, or even worse. Poison ivy. Alien poison ivy.
no subject
[ UGH. He vaguely remembers what it was like in that forest between Kilika and its temple! Maybe he's groaning just a little. ]
Fine. And I'll buy bug spray later! ... ... -- wait! What if there's some in the dressing carriage? [ Maybe?? Please? ] Or a first aid kit?
[ Look he wants to be comfortable here. ]
no subject
Why would it be in the dressing carriage, where Spider Seamstress stays in on most days? [ Not that a little bug spray will do a thing to an interdimensional magic spider, but still. ] I'd bet on the first aid kit, though I hope it's a universal type. You never know with these different worlds and planets.
[ Patent pending. ]
What else do we need...[ He says to himself, muttered with a low gaze, rummaging as needed. ] Gonna take your smoke bombs with you?
no subject
Is Roland really handing him clothes? Tidus is staring at them in disbelief, like. Really. Is this really happening right now? Is he seriously getting dragged into some kind of dad mode? Someone call Inigo into this thread to save him. ]
I'll take a few, but also, the dressing room's where all the stuff for missions shows up. [ THANK YOU VERY MUCH, ROLAND. Don't make him sound like a dumb butt! UGH. He wasn't going to let that go! ] But smoke sounds like the last thing we need. More like...people who know how to fix some wiring. So that's probably Senku, Zechs, ... maybe Nita can tell it to work?, uhh. Seto...
no subject
...You know, these are the moments I wish we could send over video or image transmissions over these things. [ He sighs a little more deeply than intended, gesturing to the SCA that would blink into further life later on. ] We could have an initial team scope out the work involved and disseminate information that way. [ Not that he minds physically asking people to come along if they're good at a particular task, but manpower was limited and that's always going to bother him at the back of his mind. ] I'll try and ask for help on the comms line as soon as it goes up.
[ He glances at Tidus for a second. ] Is it alright if I ask you to come help out with Purple for a short while? With hundreds under our watch this time around, I'm...just worried we might buzzer beat the clock.
no subject
Yeah, sure, I'll come. We're doing cleaning up, isn't it? [ He hadn't actually paid much attention to the team objectives as he had the whole immediate job tasked to them. Tidus lifts his wrist and gets his SCA to show him it, reading through it while talking. ]
I'm going with the Reds to help out first, so from there... it sounds like the same job as Reds anyway. [ Just cleaning up. ] I'll go to the first station I find and see what's there. Long as I don't have to do anything special to turn them on, it'll be fine.
[ He'll make the clothing disappear, tired of holding them under his arm. Poof! Bye-bye, random clothes. Tidus cocks his wrist aside. ]
What's hard about cleaning up weeds anyway? See if there's anything in the garden care we can take! We'll be done in no time.
no subject
[ His own prep is mostly done, with just another pair of clothes and maybe a blanket in case he has to bundle up. It'll never happen, he rarely gets a full night's rest on mission weeks, but it's there out of habit. The bag is zipped up and disappears in his band too. He crosses his arms against his chest. ]
Time, too. We'll be racing against it. Getting up the defense systems, then moving out to clear solar stations. [ Can't get over hundreds, can't forget the visions of a red sky. Maybe all these things are just driving him a little on edge, more than usual. ] We just need to be prepared for anything and everything, is all.
no subject
Hey, you're loosened up and ready, aren't you? Not getting too stiff? You need to be loose before a big game. Breathe in and out, do some stretches - shake out the limbs! Or you'll get a cramp.
[ Roland looks about as what Tidus expects him to, but he has what Inigo spoke about in his mind too. Wants to be sure that Roland isn't worrying too much, even if...that's easy to think in this case, considering what they'll be landing to. ]
Need me to show you?
no subject
[ He's still as a statue, waiting for whatever warm up exercise Tidus is thinking of. All eyes on you, pro. ]
no subject
[ Said, like really, does he need to spell it out? Tidus moves back a space to give them both room. ]
Copy me, alright? So breathe in...
[ Tidus takes in a breath. Holds in... ]
...and out, [ he says, exhaling. ]
Okay, now it's your turn! Breathe in....
no subject
He'll play along, knowing Tidus's intentions are good. Roland closes his eyes briefly before he inhales and exhales, exaggerated motions of a rising chest and an audible sigh. But it's stiff. Shoulders don't rise, and he's barely moving any other part of his body. The breaths aren't calm, coming out more as huffs that dovetail from one to the other. ]
There. Better?
no subject
......... ] Rol, I know a stiff piece of cardboard when I see one.
[ You can't fool him!! But he's not going to continue with that, letting out a breath quietly. Is anyone going to get this guy to relax? Probably not, under these circumstances. ]
We're gonna get this done, and you're gonna owe me.
[ Owe him for this clear disrespect of being such a stiff. ]
no subject
[ He's looking at his SCA and putting in earbuds, linking the two up, well-practiced. ]
no subject
[ Siigh, look at him. He's completely elsewhere. ]
It's okay, I forgive you. But you'll still owe me.
[ Roland will get it when he's older. ]
no subject
Right. Sorry. I'm...[ I've got a lot on my mind? I'm scared? I'm worried? He doesn't know how to be candid about that yet, not at this point in time when he's barely gotten a good look about things. He shakes his head. ] I'll owe you.
[ And just to make things a bit more even, he inhales sufficiently deep now, a big breath to fill the lungs, and exhales it all out in a huff and puff. ] ...Thanks.
no subject
[ Because he doesn't need him to fuss over him. Best let Roland check that the rest of Purple Team are prepared, or whatever will keep him distracted. ]
