Fierce New World- Mission Start!
"Good Morning passengers. Today is day six of the month of Jelly." 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.
Preparation and Arrival
They have a short time to prepare for their mission, enough time to read their briefs, make decisions, meet in their teams and gather anything they may need.
A few hours later there is another announcement. "Shortly arriving on System #2207385. All passengers get ready to disembark. Next stop world #2207385. Exit from void in ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five, four, three, two, one."
The train judders as it leaves the void, the colours from the windows turn into the blackness of space but quickly white as the train descends into the entrance of the biosphere.
The doors of the train open and passengers can enter the large white-walled holding bay. Currently, they are the only vehicle inside. There are four large doors around the bay each labelled with where they lead. Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter.
The doors open easily, and their SCA’s show a basic route, though the non-linear nature of the sectors mean that obstacles will need to be navigated. While they are in a closed world, there is a day and night cycle: the panels far up above are designed to make it seem like there is a natural sky, brightening and dimming every ten hours.
Red/Summer
Empty Streets
Wide streets divide sealed-off factories and manufacturing pods that tower up towards the ‘sky’. It is hot here, though the fumes from the factories are vented out, leaving the air breathable if overly warm.
Sometimes the pods are not yet finished, empty shells that can be sheltered in. There are also stations for living, with plumbing and basic amenities scattered through the sector. Places to rest as they move towards the center and the Great-Summer that they seek.
Helpmates
Where factories are still being built they will find Helpmates, operating machinery or moving materials.
They will not pause in their tasks for long but are programmed to answer questions so can be drawn into a conversation. Or, if the Voidtreckers are unfortunate, they will find those that are malfunctioning turning on them as they approach.
They aren’t too difficult to fight, but can do some damage with the machinery if they manage to take a Voidtrecker by surprise. They can be fought with weapons or magic, or for those that think to use the panels they can be shut down outright.
Wild Weather
Though warm, the corridors remain a constant temperature that is not too unpleasant for people. For the most part. Unfortunately, due to the malfunctioning state of things routes may become impassable. Boiling air, freezing blasts, electricity crackling across a pathway.
Their SCA’s do a good job of warning them, allowing them to change direction or shelter in nearby buildings.
Purple/Autumn
Exploring
The Autumn sector is the least complete of the sectors, with shells of habitation pods and not much else. No one is expected to live here until nearing the end of construction, and so the pods are unfurnished, many missing doors, some missing internal walls.
Outside the streets are wide and clearly made to be pleasant to walk on; it is airy, bright and spacious, if a bit eerie due to the quiet.
There are panels on the walls, to call Helpmates to appear. Here they are primarily for helping citizens, giving directions and offering aid.
Malfunctions
Since there are more helpmates there is more risk of them malfunctioning. They attack with or without weapons, using any tools they can pick up to attack. They can be fought with weapons or magic, or for those that think to use the panels they can be shut down.
They won’t chase people into the houses, their privacy programming preventing them from doing so.
Turned Around
The roads seem simple, built in a grid pattern around the houses. However, whatever is going wrong here is affecting the very streets themselves. Sometimes there will be a wall where there wasn’t before or roads go in circles. Sometimes they find themselves at a dead end, trapped until structures shift again.
Their SCA’s do their best to keep up but it can take a while for them to reroute and by the time they do, that path might be blocked too!
Blue/Spring
Patchwork Forest
The Spring sector houses the hydroponics and pastoral sections. It alternates between grazing land and more heavily forested areas with rows of pine-like trees in a checkerboard pattern, with empty plots interspersed. Walkways divide each square, but all squares appear able to move about as required, as though on a conveyor system.
There are clear walkways to avoid stepping on any newly growing plants. In the grazing land live flocks of camelid creatures resembling alpacas with blueish wool, on average a metre and a half tall at the shoulders. Helpmates appear here as if on a timer to feed the animals and tend to plants.
Destruction
If the Helpmates here malfunction they attack anyone nearby, cause havoc to any farming equipment and frightening the animals.
They can be fought with weapons or magic, or for those that think to use the panels they can be shut down. The panels here are less obvious than they are in the more urban sectors, low to the ground, looking almost like energy panels. But once they know what to look for they will be able to use them to shut down the Helpmates.
Stampede
Frightened animals are likely to flee and unfortunately in this case it means rampaging across the grazing land to the newly growing trees.
They will need to be calmed, returned to their grazing lands and the plants restored. Or it might be that the Voidtreckers can stop the Helpmates before the creatures get too spooked.
Orange/Winter
Exploring
The Winter sector’s primary concern is life support. Huge banks of air scrubbers form artificial cliffs, while other sections are tanks filled with water in varying stages of processing or recycling.
The paths here are a lot narrower than they are in other areas, sometimes requiring moving between pipes or scrambling over layers of railing.
There doesn’t seem to be any easy or straightforward path through the sector, their SCA takes them on wild winding routes through the machinery.
Help or Hindrance
The fluctuating temperatures here are causing problems with many of the pipes, several sections are flooded, others are in danger of being so.
There are patch kits in easily opened panels, designed to be used by the helpmates and indeed there are many helpmates out.
But some are less helpful, those that are malfunctioning are more likely to cause more damage than they are there to fix. They will attack any one who tries to interfere with them. They can be fought with weapons or magic, or for those that think to use the panels they can be shut down.
Patch Job
Once the malfunctioning Helpmates are dealt with the pipes still need to be fixed. The patch kits do not have any instructions but are simple enough that anyone with a basic knowledge of how to fix things should be able to figure them out- though the more knowledge and expertise they have the better the fix!
For those that don’t, many of the jobs will need more than one person and so for those that don’t mind taking instructions they will find an extra pair of hands is always welcome.

Thanks for the reassurance.. [ Bulma says dryly, sort of throwing a look at Tidus out of the corner of her eye. Of course she'd kind of called it, but he could at least.. lie to her a little or something that it'd be fine and dandy or something. Geez.
Anyway - ]
Well. I guess if I can handle all the crap that's dropped out of the sky on Earth I can handle this..
no subject
Hey, Orange tasks are pretty simple! And you got a big crew going with you, if you're going that way. You investigate and you fix - that's the Orange M.O. [ As decided by Tidus, right now. ]
Soo, think of Orange as... the easiest difficulty. [ Yep, there we go. He puts his hands behind his head. ] Well, unless you're bad at those things. You know anyone you're gonna be with?
[ That might be good to ask. ]
no subject
Well I do know how to repair things. [ That's Bulma's M.O. nine times out of ten in her world anyway. Repair things, and if that isn't it, to build the next tool they'll need to find something as soon as possible.
She watches Tidus for a moment longer, laughing as he qualifies about being bad at fixing. ]
Trunks is apparently going along with Orange, this time. So I'll have him along.
Fixing is my niche in life, though, so I'm not worried about that.
no subject
[ Wasn't that simple enough? ]
Is it just you and Trunks? Is the hubby going elsewhere? [ Heh. ]
no subject
Oh I'm sure he will. [ A momma's boy in all iterations - and that much Bulma is still very happy about. She can't help but appreciate how much he cares about her, even when she hadn't known who he was at the time. ]
Even the smaller version of him is always very on top of making sure I'm alright. It's sweet.
Vegeta's sticking with red this time around. [ Bulma shrugs, then, breaking into a smile. ] It isn't like he can't fly over if he needs to in the end. Mostly he'd be a pain in the ass so far as fixing things.
No patience, you know.
no subject
Trunks did warn me he's the guy you call to break stuff up before fixin' it. Well, I got no clue what we're going in for this time. The missions aren't usually this vague... even the people that have dreams before we go out didn't have anything to tell us. There was just something about water near someone bubbling.
[ He raises his hands in a kind of shrug. ]
But I'm starting to think the dreams are only good for knowing we're having a mission soon!
no subject
Yeah. It's pretty handy. The one thing I'm kind of jealous of, not having to have a vehicle or anything.. [ But then again she's also the type of woman who makes a rocket car and says fuck the rules, so there's also that to be considered. ]
Oh, they aren't? [ Bulma pauses for a moment and hums in thought. ] I hadn't really thought about it, considering it's my first one.
I guess I'll just have to keep my head on straight as much as I can so that Vegeta isn't pissed off at me if I manage to get hurt.
no subject
[ --Oh. ] But hit the button to keep it to your team. Then the husband won't hear.
no subject
Maybe that's the point though - to make him come running. [ By that sly smirk she's teasing at best, but at the same time she can't help it. For the man who previously didn't care if she and their son almost died, Vegeta coming running when she screams is actually kind of cute.
Anyway, she taps her head as if storing the information. ]
Got it, though.
Hopefully I won't need it but you really never know. And knowing people that are like sensu beans is the best hack I've got at the moment.
