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!

B
More importantly, she's close enough to catch a glimpse of someone heading upward.
Nita is swift to follow - and using the Speech to amplify her voice, shouts:]
/The shield is holding! What are you doing?!/
[She's running on air-steps, now, but she may have to switch to telling gravity to buzz off, soon, depending on how fast Cure Sunshine ascends.]
no subject
Are we just going to trust it'll hold when we already had to turn it back on? That's too much faith, isn't it!?
[...she's panicking a little and it's driving her actions.]
no subject
[Privately, she warns the peridexis to start readying that data from the control centers in a hurry...]
/If the integrity in any area fails, we've power enough to get an alert, and we can shore those areas up!/
[All this information delivered while near-yelling.]
no subject
no subject
On it scroll lines and lines of data; lots of it, and fast - but none of it consists of error messages, at least right now. (For added benefit, Nita has Bobo translate it to English on the fly.)
Nita lets herself heave a sigh of relief as she reads through.]
It's holding. If we get any cracks later, though... we'll call you.
[Or the train will, not that Nita knows that.]
How were you going to add power to it, anyway? Do you have a go-to method for that sort of thing, or...?
[Trying to calm her down with shop talk. How is this Nita's life, again?]
no subject
Okay. I can handle that. Um, I wasn't going to add power to it, though. I was going to, well... be more of it?
[Summoning her Tambourine up here seems ill-advised if she's not actively using it, but even without it Sunshine's got a shield, still. Holding one hand over the open air but not between herself and Nita, she shapes the power and a small, yellow square of light, the size of a small windowpane, appears in the air. It occurs to her that this will... probably invite more questions, but so be it.]
Shields are my specialty.
no subject
Huh. I think I know what you mean, then.
[In response, Nita brings up her own shield partway - a soft blue, a counter to Sunshine's yellow.]
I guess you could say we both have this issue covered...?
[It's both an offer and a pun. Horror of horrors!]
no subject
I suppose we do. Although I hope we don't have to take action ourselves. Still, knowing it's an option is always a relief... There's no reason not to put everything on the table when things are looking bad.
no subject
You said it. No such thing as being overprepared when a disaster's in motion.
[Or in this case, timely stopped!]
Let's get back to the others now, though, okay? They might start looking for us.
no subject
Mm. I've been through enough disasters. I'd prefer not to entertain any more. Still... yeah. We should get back. If it comes to an emergency, we should all be in one place.
Good to wrap? Also turn in for points~
... Or camp, assuming everyone's heading there anyway.
[Speaking of getting everyone in one place.]
mm, fashionably late, sob
[-is what she says, as she waves and then starts hopping down the tree branches lightly, but once she changes back, Nita probably won't know where to find her. Oops.]
S'awright. Still, almost wrap!
What name do I look for on the comms?
[Uh-]
If you're not sure, just call me first instead, okay? 'Nita' as in 'Juanita.'
[With that last call, Nita starts her own descent.
Hopefully no one will ask about the middle name...]no subject
