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
[ And one he's had cause to share more than once on this train - does the Voidtrecker Express select accepting people, or is it Ken whose attitude is changing by knowing he has to step up to meet a new group? Doesn't matter right now. ]
I also - once had everything I needed, to realize important things. I had loving parents and a partner Digimon.
[ Wormmon wiggles closer, as if it had been some sort of secret that the partner Digimon was Him. ]
But I didn't realize it. And, when the negative pressure became too much, I ran. From complications and consequences. From myself.
[ This is the grim, but necessary part. Wormmon stares up steadily, accepting, always accepting, here for every part of this story, hurt more than anyone else by the events of this story, but - here. ]
I tried to rule the Digital World.
no subject
[He looks at Ken, eyes wide, expression a mask of confusion and shock. Ken, of all people, fancied himself a ruler of a dimension. Ken.]
[He glances to Wormmon for a moment, to verify - he highly doubts Wormmon could keep a straight face if any of this were untrue - and Wormmon gives away nothing.]
[Good God.]
[If Ken had intended to get Siebren out of his ill mood by shocking him out of it, he had certainly succeeded. Either way, he certainly has Siebren's full attention.]
no subject
Then it'll be up to Siebren.
He pauses, trying to figure out how to phrase the next bit - and gets another claw tap. Oh. Tag. Wormmon is it. ]
It wasn't just Ken-chan. Bad people told him what he wanted to hear, so he'd break things. He was sad, so he believed them.
Wormmon, I -
But he's still the one who did bad things. And I'm still the one who watched.
[ Wormmon wilts a little when he says that - he's so sorry, Ken-chan, what he thought was right for his partner hadn't been, either. But he perks back up. ]
But we stopped! So anybody can stop.
[ Sage worm smile. ] It's the stopping that matters.
no subject
[Wormmon's final bit of wisdom is simple, but...effective.]
I suppose it is.
[What good does stopping do when you have already gone too far, as a thought, is dead on arrival - even he can see the flaws in that argument. Instead, he tries for something else.]
Why did you stop?
no subject
Others helped me see it. Mostly -
[ Boy and bug share a heartfelt look, for a moment. Then Wormmon cuddles close.]
The kind Ken-chan really is the best!
no subject
[Had he hurt Wormmon?]
[It seems unthinkable given their bond, but...this had been years ago, Ken had said, and things can change drastically over the span of years. Siebren knows that all too well.]
[But Ken had been helped. Manipulated by some and helped by others. There is- there is something to that, Siebren thinks, as the melody gets louder and pushes back against his thoughts. It is not unlike Siebren himself, correct? He- he has not been manipulated, only held- but- but he has been helped as well, hasn't he?]
[The melody swells, ever present, ever pushing, subsuming his mind-]
[Hasn't he?]
[Hasn't he?]
[He-]
[He...he has lost the thread, again. Lost himself.]
[He has been staring into the middle distance, blinking but unseeing, lost again in that ubiquitous melody-]
[He shakes his head as if to clear it and hopes neither Ken nor Wormmon have said anything in the interim. Sometimes things do not need years to change, only seconds, and he has completely missed the past few.]
no subject
[ Siebren has apparently missed quite a lot, because Wormmon is on the ground now and tugging his pant leg. Ken looks concerned, too, fully back in the present after having seen Siebren drift away.
What had that....Had Ken...?
Assigning blame won't help. Something's wrong now.
Wormmon stares up with big, concerned, teary eyes. ] Did the darkness get you? Come back, Mister!
no subject
[Evidently he has missed quite a bit more than he'd have liked, what with a very worried Wormmon and a very specific inquiry for which he definitely does not have context. First things first, though.]
No, I- I am alright. That...happens, at times.
[A very convincing argument.]
no subject
[ Wormmon has ONE FEAR.
...As, frankly, does Ken. ] Loss of focus isn't something to disregard. For the moment, is there anything we can do to help ground you?
[ He can't be sure that what happened to Siebren is what used to happen to him. But the ground turning to water beneath him is not a sensation he is likely to forget, even if it no longer fully haunts him. ]
no subject
[Questions for another time, as Wormmon is still agitated and Ken seems worried as well.]
No. It has passed; I am fine.
[There had been a very specific inquiry attached to this, hadn't there.]
I promise you there is no "darkness" involved.
[Only music.]
no subject
[ Ken highly suggests passing out for two weeks in response to emotional strain. It makes a world of difference.
Wormmon, meanwhile, has never heard of the concept of a personal bubble, physical or emotional, and sees no reason to learn about it now. Even if Siebren is used to it, that's still...that still looks like it isn't any fun.... ]
So you do that sometimes?
no subject
[It is something to consider, yes, though there is still the matter if several hours' walk back and pitching a tent. That is hardly worth thinking about at the moment, never mind mentioning.]
[It seems like Wormmon is not about to let his episode go.]
I do, yes. It is...a condition.
Do you have any other forms I should know about?
[It is a rather obvious subject change, yes, but it may yet work.]
no subject
Well, it's okay. Wormmon did not pressure Ken-chan to talk about things before he was ready unless people would be hurt otherwise. He will go with it. For now. ]
Nothing big, on my own. When I'm a little tired, I become Minomon.
--His larger forms require someone else to be present.
[ Ken with the trivia. Ken missing his best friend for half a second, because Daisuke would know what to do in this situation (or, rather, Daisuke would have no idea what to do, but he would also have no idea he had no idea and it would work out, Ken may like and respect the young man a great deal but that doesn't mean he has blinders on). But it's Ken who's here, so it's Ken who'll work through it.
Somehow.
Right now he's also willing to let Wormmon take point, the better to think. A condition...
This is the first freshman in the history of college to get a sudden vacation from school and wish he had his textbook along. ]
no subject
[Larger forms implies something even bigger than what Siebren
attackedhas seen. It seems there is still a good amount Siebren doesn't know about Digimon.]Someone else... [He looks at Ken.] Aside from you?
[It is easier, at the moment, to ask questions than to answer them.]
no subject
They combine.
[ Wormmon, looking extremely....fierce and transformer-y indeed......is cuddling. Paildramon~ He likes being Paildramon~ Being together with friends is fun~
And the more he gets stronger, the more he can protect Ken-chan! ]
