Race Against Time: Ongoing Mission

Once the training is over people can get to work pretty quickly, there is plenty to be done both out in the world and back at the hub for those not too keep on jumping straight in to a strange volcanic planet with creatures that probably want to eat them.

Hub

The underground hub is a centre of activity. It turns out there isn't all that much fuel for shuttles to get back up to the space station so trips are rationed, they will hold villagers and lindusi until they have full shuttles and then send them up. So the hub is busy with scientists, lindusi in holding pens and as the week goes on villagers who may not be too impressed with the evacuation.

There is food, usually large pots of soup that can be reheated whenever people are around. Though some heavier meals are provided at set times the people leading the evacuation are keen not to let any of their helpers, or those they are rescuing, starve.

Sleeping rooms hold bunk beds, usually around eight a room but as the hub fills up space gets limited. Sharing beds or sleeping on the floor may become necessary.

For those hanging around the hub as the week goes on there is plenty to do, small jobs, entertaining village children, logistics, communication. Or they can find a quiet place to rest before going back out on their mission.

Red

The skies are heavy with debris, both from space and the volcanic ash and rocks from the planet itself. The fighter craft are not difficult to pilot but nor are they easy. They cannot be piloted by one person, unless that person has four arms and space in the cockpit is tight for two people.

It's difficult work and it is probably good for everybody that the craft only fly for six hours before recharging, it means they have to work in shifts, and rest when they are not in the sky. The pilots from the world are generally friendly, if very focused.

Purple

Flying bubble pods around what seems like an apocalyptic wasteland may seem surreal and that's before they even get to the villages. The villages are mostly underground, bunkers where groups of people shelter. There are a range of ages. Some villages come easy, some do not. Diplomacy is key.

Watch out for falling rocks, rogue lindusi and angry villagers, all are threats that have to mitigated. As the week goes on the villagers get more stubborn, the earthquakes get more frequent and the villagers that are waiting to be taken off world get more impatient. It's a tough job.

Orange

The lindusi are scattered across the island. Mostly as far away from volcanoes as possible though there are a few that seem too curious for their own good.

The trucks to hold the lindusi in are kept in a central point in an area whilst the groups go out to try and round as many up as possible. The voidtreckers are encouraged to stick together as they don't know the area or threats very well.

Blue

The Blue team are to protect the scientists, both those collecting plants and other life samples and those with Orange rounding up Lindusi. Once they have the hang of the shield devices it's just a case of sticking close by, keeping both eyes open and being quick to activate shields whenever there is a threat.

There are plenty of threats, it's one thing this island has in abundance.

Of course Princess is curious about the food, and Eva rather absentmindedly shares some with him whenever she has some. Which, given how tender it is, is more than not. He's the one doing most of the work, truly, and it's only fair to reinforce the good work the fairy-type's doing.

That said, when a new mug is offered, Eva mutters a thank you as she takes a sip. It's nice, smells nice and it's very much needed. Another sip, and the young woman blinks up at Sarai as if the Au Ra had literally teleported in. "Ah... Sorry, I think I'm working too hard. Have a... Have a seat if you want, and ignore him. He's moochinging."

"Fii.." Princess nods, as if in agreement before turning a near heartwrenching, heartbroken 'I am Starving, Please Feed Me' look to Sarai. Not Eva, but Sarai.

Look, Eva is immune to it ok. :(

And Sarai is not immune to it, though she does look to Eva as if to ask if it's all right, before sitting by the pair and offering Princess some hardtack. Hey, if he's working as hard as it seems, he can probably use a little extra, and Sarai's made plenty to go around.

So she offers him a loaf of hardtack, though it's less a loaf and decidedly more wafer-like, studded with nuts and some sort of dried fruit in it--whatever the Au Ra found on the train.

"I think we all are, but it's imperative that we evacuate, as much as we can, isn't it?" Sarai asks, looking up at Eva with arched brows. "And I won't give him too much, even if he is mooching." For reasons she'd already considered. It wasn't as if she'd give her beloved chocobo extra back home on Hydaelyn, when Kokuzo was working hard.
