Enemy Unknown: Conclusion
It might be that they found the engine room, solved the puzzles and found themselves in the hangar bay with no way out. It might be that they were still in the station hiding from the invisible monsters. Or it might be that they had been plucked from the mission and were waiting in their holding room.
Either way morning dawns on the fourth day...
ENEMY: UNKNOWN
DAY FOUR
the trapped. THOSE WHO SOLVED THE ENGINE ROOM SPENT THE NIGHT IN A LARGE HANGAR THAT DOES NOT SEEM TO HAVE ANY DOORS. Their SCA's are working, so they can still communicate with those in the station, perhaps talk them through the engine room puzzles or tell them to stay clear. As morning comes all the lights in the hangar come on. Brighter than any lights so far in the station, harsh white light after the eerie red of the rest of the mission.
Everyone still in the station wakes where they fell asleep - if they slept at all. It's not long after most people are up and about that they will hear a high-pitched beep from their SCA, and then a blue light will envelop them and those around them. It might be they spot their friends vanishing before they too disappear.
They arrive in the hangar, reunited with those who spent the night there. All their gear is with them at least, but that doesn't solve the problem of being in a hangar with no obvious way out. Nor are any of those who vanished during the last three days here, their SCA's still go unanswered.
the vanished. FOR THOSE IN THE HOLDING ROOM, THEIR NIGHT HAS PROCEEDED MUCH LIKE THE NIGHTS BEFORE. One of the screens showed the hangar, and those that had succeeded in completing the engine room task. The lights had dimmed for sleeping and turned on again bright in the morning. For those watching the screens they will see those in the station vanish in blue light and turn up in the hangar.
Around half an hour later a voice sounds in the room. "Please gather your belongings and prepare for release."
It's another ten minutes, allowing them to make sure they have all their things before their SCA's beep. They are then surrounded by a blue light, taking them from the room they had spent the last few days in.

REUNITED
reunion. AN HOUR PASSES AFTER FIRST ARRIVALS PASS IN THE HANGAR. Suddenly, there is another flash of blue light, and the missing eighteen Voidtreckers appear with the rest of their crew. They will find they had all their gear as well, including their missing weapons.
They are left to their own devices for a small while, a time for reuniting with friends, but not long enough to exchange stories before a voice rings out in the hangar:
"THANK YOU CREW OF THE VOIDTRECKER EXPRESS FOR YOUR COMPLIANCE. YOU MAY RETURN TO YOUR CRAFT."
There is a loud mass of beeping as everyone's SCA's flashes at the same time, holographic messages popping up too fast to be able to read them in their entirety.
Voidtreckers come in.
All Voidtreckers return to the Voidtrecker Express
Voidtreckers do you read?
Layers of holographic messages pile on top of each other but a moment later everyone's SCA's glow gold and everyone vanishes from the hangar...

LUGGAGE CARRIAGE
return. EVERYONE ARRIVES INSIDE THE LUGGAGE CARRIAGE, PACKED LIKE SARDINES BETWEEN SUITCASES AND TRUNKS. There is no announcement, no warning of returning to the void; just a lurch that is likely to throw anyone on the train unaware of what has just happened off their feet, no matter the carriage they're in.
They return to the void at what feels like breakneck speed. Colours fly past the windows, and it is a good few hours before they seem to slow to their normal travel speed.

[Things happen quickly once Masumi and the other captives got word that they'd be released soon. Just enough time to gather belongings, followed by being teleported back to the rest of the group, and shortly after being evacuated back to the train.
And no, being packed into the luggage car with the train slamming back into the void is not a pleasant experience. The only reason Masumi stays on her feet when it happens is the fact that she's packed in there with everyone else.]
Ugh, I see the train's not happy with that either...
2. Use That Energy
[Spending two days locked in a holding room was not fun, and Masumi's now bent on shaking that boredom and frustration from the experience.
First, she makes a stop by the spa car, opting to wear a swimsuit as she relaxes in the water and worries over how the inspectors will use that info they were given. It's a very valid concern, given what she alone said.
Then it's time to go vent her frustration in the training car, falling back on her old JKD training as she beats up a training dummy in the car. She's going at it quite violently, with blows that would be potentially injuring on a
human. If approached she'll stop, but it's clear she's not happy about the past 'mission'.]
no subject
Strange. But fortunate for the voidtreckers. Especially for those who had been captured. Her roommate was one of them.
It's not surprising to see her in the training carriage and really that is better than finding her being all sad or scared. So she approaches with a nose wrinkle.
"Do you be wanting to be sparring, Masumi?"
no subject
...Yes, I'm up for sparring. Anything to get that interview out of my mind.
[She wants to talk about it and share what she knows, but right now she's just trying to vent her frustration over what happened.]
no subject
She kicked off her boots and socks and moved closer, swinging her arms slightly to warm them up.]
We will be sparring then, so you do no be having to be thinking about it.
no subject
[Masumi's a little awkward about fighting someone younger than her, but she knows Buttercup is capable and that she can avoid causing harm, so in the end she's okay with it.]
You ready? [Due to the fact that she was already in the middle of practice, Masumi doesn't need to warm up and is ready to go as soon as the dummy is out of the way.]
no subject
She nods when asked, shaking out her limbs.]
I do be being ready.
[She slips into a defensive stance and is ready, watching Masumi, to get the measure of her. Masumi is bigger and likely stronger. So she needs to be smarter.]
