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!

no subject
This happened to your home?
[He still knows so little about Inigo, despite how close they are. He knows a little, guessed at more but Inigo rarely talks about it.
He doesn't let go of Inigo's hand.]
no subject
[ It wasn't a meteorite that had struck them, after all. But it might as well have been. No, actually - a meteorite might have been a kinder disaster on them than Grima had been. ]
Ylisse was destroyed by an enormous dragon. Grima, the Fell Dragon. I was so young, but I still remember it so clearly.
[ Rather than looking at Taiki, Inigo looks up at the sky. ]
The sky looked just like this back then.
no subject
Taiki had known that something had happened, something to bring the sadness into Inigo's eyes whenever they spoke about their homes. But he had not thought of something so...
He let go of Inigo's hand, but only so he could wrap his arm around him.]
I'm sorry Inigo... That's terrible...
no subject
It's not a fun memory. But he mostly doesn't want to linger in it since he doesn't want to worry Taiki - especially not like this. At the start of a mission, just when they're already stuck in a pretty dangerous situation. ]
It's okay.. Don't worry too much about it. [ He pulls his head back, tries to smile a little, but there's still a sad edge in his eyes. ] My friends and I traveled back to the past to prevent it from happening. Ylisse will be alright.
[ Even though it won't be his Ylisse anymore. ]
This just reminded me a bit of it, you know? But it's fine, really. We'll fix this situation here too.
no subject
I'm sorry it brings back bad memories, but we will work hard and make sure no harm comes to this place.
[They always do, these people stolen from their worlds. It lifts his heart when he stops to think about it, people who have no reason to care about these worlds, who have every right to be angry at being stolen from their homes, they still help. Every time.]
no subject
[ It's still not too late for this place, after all. This place isn't like Ylisse yet, everything still seems fully there. The plants, the trees, all the things that died off back home after Grima's attack.
It's not too late yet. ]
Really, you don't have to be sorry about anything though, Taiki. It's not even that bad. [ He shakes his head. ] I'm just being a big baby about it.
no subject
It's alright to be afraid, but we are going to stop it. [He smiles.] Not even a meteor can stop the great Inigo, right?
no subject
I'm not.. afraid. [ At least it's not a lie. The emotion he's feeling isn't exactly fear, after all - it's something more nuanced than that. It's more like the dark shadow of all the pain and destruction he's witnessed following him, even now. The awful memories all pulled right back to the forefront of his mind at the sight of everything here.
But rather than speaking that nuance out loud, of course Inigo just says-- ]
Inigo the invincible is never afraid. [ It's better to go down this path. Easier. They're on a mission now, so he's trying his best to tuck away his vulnerabilities. ] Although maybe he is a little sad that he's going to have to miss you again.
[ His tone gets lighter, obviously trying to joke, to lighten the mood. ]
no subject
He normally wouldn't encourage Inigo pushing down his fear like this, hiding it in humour. But right now they had a world in danger, a meteor on the way and no time.
He squeezes his hand again.] You could come with red team... If you wanted.
no subject
But.. ]
I can't. [ He does look a little sad about it as he says it - mostly in his eyes. ] I have to go with Roland. He.. He needs me to be there.
[ Never has he felt that as strongly as today. ]
And, you know, he's like.. like a father to me. [ It's something Inigo hasn't told many people about. But it's a good explanation as to why he feels so strongly about having to make sure Roland is okay, even over him going along with a friend as important to him as Taiki. ]
no subject
He had known they were close but he hadn't known they were so close that Inigo saw him as family. Father might not be a word that holds any positive connotations with Taiki but he knows it should. He knows that Inigo had a complicated relationship with his own father and it was a good thing that he could find such a positive closeness with someone else. Especially with someone like Roland. Someone who would protect his heart.]
I'm glad you will be together, I am sure that together there is no challenge you cannot face.
no subject
[ He squeezes his hand.
Inigo honestly isn't so sure of it though - not in this case. Not when Roland has seemed relatively more fussy lately, and the start of this mission is going to be so dangerous.. Dangerous enough that Inigo knows he doesn't have much time to stand around here talking with Taiki like this.
But he knows he at least still has to say-- ]
I think Tidus is going with you guys though. Make sure to look after him for me, alright?
no subject
[He will do his best to keep Tidus safe and even if he is not the best protector himself...]
Lord Gyousou will be with us as well, so Tidus will be in great hands.
no subject
Inigo knows exactly what sort of sentiment lies underneath that. Call it the experience of a fellow zero-self-esteem-er. So Taiki is definitely earning another hand squeeze, a bit tighter this time - but still not painful, of course.
Inigo fully turns towards him, making sure to convey this as well as he can. ]
Tidus would be in great hands even without lord Gyousou there. You protect his heart.
[ Despite all their joking around about it, Inigo is well aware just how fond their mutual friend is of Taiki. ]
There's nothing greater than that.
no subject
He tried. He tried very hard to protect his friends' hearts. Sometimes he wasn't sure he could ever succeed. Especially with Tidus whose bright energy hid so much pain.
He squeezed Inigo's hand back, unsure what even to say to that. He would try his hardest though.] Be careful out there Inigo, I'll see you soon.
no subject
[ At least Inigo is smiling now. It's not that he isn't still a little affected by the memories this sky brings to him, or still more than a little worried about Roland, but.. he can at least smile for Taiki by thinking of happier things. Like how amazing Taiki is, how much he tries his best.
He finally lets go of the hand, instead raising his arm to wave at Taiki as he walks off to try and find Roland. ]
See you!
