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!

[ So he's shoving the wires right back at Tidus now.
They could keep going like this all day. ]
You want the guy who didn't even know what a shower was to put these together? I've got no clue!
no subject
And you think I know how to wire a shower?! [ SHOVE. ] I don't know anything! I don't even know how a boat works! I live on a boat!
[ He just uses technology! Stop asking him what's wrong with your internet!! ]
no subject
[ Who was keeping that boat afloat?! Don't you need someone to steer a boat? What was Tidus doing all his life, aside from practicing the sacred art of 'ball is life'?
Granted, it's hard for Inigo to imagine what it's like to live in a more advanced society than his own - in his mental idea of it, everyone understands how all that technology works in that sort of world. Weird wires included.
He doesn't shove the wires back to Tidus this time though, instead looking at both of said wires in his hands with a slight pout, like the answer as to what to do with them may somehow come to him that way. ]
Sheesh, I can't believe everyone keeps acting like I'm so far behind when they don't know how to do this either.
no subject
But they really are getting nowhere with this, so even if he hasn't been gifted (terrorised with) the wires back, he will try to go for a smarter suggestion: ]
Let's just ask someone else. Quatre? Quatre said I could ask him for help repairing. Senku?
no subject
Without even a single idea of what he's doing. ]
I don't know Quatre. [ But if Tidus does.. ] Can't you call either of them? Tell them to explain it to us over the SCAs! You talk, I try it out.
[ Is this not a foolproof plan? ]
no subject
Okay, I'll see if Senku's free. [ Since they both know him. Tappa tappa bring up Senku's name, brrng brrrnng...! Idly, watching Inigo mess with the wires- ] What if you just pull the other two out and replace them?
[ BRNG BRRRNNGG ]
no subject
Hello?
[ He has a habit of answering without looking at his SCA, much like he might've done his phone ages ago. ]
What's up?
no subject
[ Before Inigo can even add 'got it' to that sentence or say hi to Senku too, there's a whole different sound coming from where he's sitting.
It sounds like a buzzing, soft at first, but then increasing in volume and intensity until there's the sound of sparks flying. Inigo jolts, and then quickly lets go of the wires, just plainly dropping them on the ground without much regard for where they're going - as if burned by a stove - before moving backwards, suddenly looking very breathless.
He can't even say anything, still too - quite literally - stunned by what just happened. Guess what idiot almost just electrocuted himself.
Welcome to the circus, Senku. ]
no subject
--Inigo!?
[ And both of them going quiet after.
Very useful for another person on the line. ]
no subject
The silence though... ]
Are the two of you dead?
[ Can they at least tell him they're not? ]
If I have to come find your corpses, you'll be sorry.
no subject
'm alive.
[ Don't ask him how much though. He's still recovering. ]
What was that even..
no subject
He's alive! [ In case that wasn't heard. ] Which wires did you mess with? See, I told you we should've got Roland...!
[ oh wait, but they have Senku on the line. ]
Wait, if someone gets electrocuted what'm I supposed to do!? Senku? Should I tell Inigo to tilt his head back? Hey Inigo! See if tilting your head back makes you feel better!
no subject
Inigo, don't move. Don't let him get up. Is he still close to what shocked him? Make sure he can't still make contact with the electricity, and if he can't don't touch it yourself.
[ He doesn't sound fine. ]
Tell me where you are, I want to make sure he's okay before anything else.
no subject
And then there's Senku's voice. It feels even more distant now. Inigo is quiet, trying to figure out what he's hearing and what he should say. And so it's probably not until Tidus is already replying to Senku that Inigo slowly says: ]
He wants to make sure I'm okay..?
[ Of course that's the one thing Inigo's dumb sappy brain latches onto in the middle of this. ]
no subject
Well yeah! Listen to what he says, he's the doctor! [ And then, to Senku: ] We're in B-9! He dropped the wires - you anywhere close? I can ask for another medic.
[ Senku's worry is making him worried now, stealing glances over at Inigo that don't linger just to not look noticeable worried.
okay but maybe he needs to make this sound less serious, at least to Inigo: ]
You're made of tougher stuff, huh? You'll be fine.
no subject
[ Not to worry, he can run when he's motivated, he'll just be exhausted later.
With that, he'll leave the comforting to Inigo and take off at a run. ]
I'll be back! [ He calls to whoever he's with. He'll leave the connection on though, in case Tidus has questions. ]
I'll guess, about five minutes.
no subject
Inigo doesn't even follow most of the conversation. Things are slowly clicking into place a bit more in his head, but it's going really slowly. Like he's underwater or something and hearing and seeing this all from there.
But there's one thing he recognizes straight though any daze, nodding immediately-- only to look like he regrets having moved his head a moment later. ]
Yeah, I.. I'm fine. [ Very convincing after that wince just now. ]
no subject
Watch out! We'll be here, so be careful.
[ There isn't anything more than that to say over the comms, so Tidus will let Senku focus on arriving. Looking back up at Inigo, and -- okay, maybe he should be more concerned. An initial desire to put his hands on Inigo emerging, but what good is that going to do? Tidus presses his lips together, thinking. ]
Just- remember what Senku said, yeah? You'll be fine! Hey, did I ever tell you about the Thunder Plains in Spira? They're an entire plain where bolts strike down, day and night...
[ Do you want Story Time, Inigo. ]
no subject
Hey. [ Pant. Pant. ] Did he lose consciousness? [ That question is for Tidus. ]
Inigo, you know what happened? [ It might seem like a silly question, but he's trying to figure out if he's confused. At the same time he'll put two fingers on the side of his neck to feel for a pulse. ]
no subject
By the time Senku arrives, he's managed to recover a little bit, though he still seems pretty dazed as he slowly turns to look at him. ]
Uh.
[ Good question..? ]
I.. think so? I mean.. I'm fine. [ Granted, that's really just Inigo Instinct kicking in. I'm fine. No words are easier to say than those. ] My head feels a bit strange.
no subject
Oh, wait, Senku's here? Tidus starts to stand until Senku comes down to join them, shakes his head at the question. Waits as Inigo gives his own response, concern stitched onto his face.
... ]
Is that bad? [ uh- ] I don't know esuna... should I try a healing spell?
[ He doesn't know, should he leave it to Senku to decide? He's definitely leaving it to Senku to decide. ]
no subject
Uh huh. [ He says a bit absently, keeping his fingers on his throat, he's counting his pulse. ]
Tell me what happened, Inigo. [ That's a more direct request. He already sounds a bit confused, he just needs to see how much. He leans over, staring into his eyes, looking to see if his pupils have changed. ]
Let me make sure what we're dealing with, and how bad it is before you start healing. Once we know it's safe to do that, then you can heal him.
no subject
[ Or maybe it is? Inigo doesn't know, has no way of seeing what the damage is when his head still feels kind of foggy. But he knows that he doesn't want Tidus to have to spend even a tiny bit of his energy on him, okay. He'll be fine. He's had worse! ]
I just..
[ He pauses, thinking. At least it's coming back to him now, though a little slowly. ]
I was trying to pull-- pull them out. The wires. But I think I got shocked. [ How? Don't ask him that, he has no idea how anything here works. He hardly even knows how electricity works in the first place! ]
no subject
We forgot to turn the power off-! [ That has to be it, doesn't it? And Tidus is peeved at himself, deciding to move around the pair to check. Wiring half-hanging out where Inigo started to pull. ] I'm sorry Inigo, I should've checked!
[ It's a hiss whispered under his breath. There is a switch here, a small light still on. Why would Inigo think to check it? Unless he's stopped, Tidus will flip it, turning the power off. ]
no subject
Yeah, you got electrocuted, but your pulse is good, you don't look like you hit your head. Does anything hurt like you burned it?
[ Now they can focus on the less critical stuff. ]
If you don't want him to heal you, you're going to have to lie here a bit until you start making a little more sense and your mind clears.
