Day 5 Domino: Let it Snow: Preperations

Early Evening

Due to some of the passengers having strange dreams those on the Voidtrecker Express should be expecting something soon and so it is around dinner time on the evening of the fifth day of Domino that everyone's SCA glows with the colour of the void, a holographic message appears with their next mission.

Those going to the dressing car will find the drawers and wardrobes open. Inside are a variety of warm weather clothes, all in team colours. Thick padded winter jackets, waterproof trousers. Hats, gloves, scarves. Thick boots and also a variety of ice skates. There are waterproof covers for a variety of sizes of bags and even some coils of rope.

It seems they are not arriving until the next morning and so they have time to plan as best they can.

Morning: Day Six

No matter if they stayed up late preparing or went to bed early to get some rest before the mission they will wake up the next morning to the morning announcement. "Good morning passengers. Today is day six of the month of Domino. A moment later the voice speaks again. "Our next stop is world#58291. Drop order: Purple, Blue, Red, Orange. Conditions are adverse and so all passengers must be ready to alite swiftly."

There is time for some final preparation.

"Like I'm not prepped enough and like we should be first, not last," Eva grumbles as she adjusts her pack yet again. "I know why though; it's better to be on the ground first than in some stupid maze that'll take us only serebī knows how long to solve."

The words are rougher than she'd like, but hopefully whatever's translating for them only does the meaning, not word choice. "At least it's not a cave."

Curufin chuckles a little. "I don't know how the VoidTrecker decides on drop order. But yes, we're all ready, and we're all getting all nervous with this waiting." He certainly understands her impatience. "We'll do our best with that maze, and considering it's only a puzzle, we're all smart and I think we'll solve it in good enough time. And if the weather machine has no convenient off-switch, I'll just smash it with my hammer. I hope for a quick resolution, because afterwards I want to find some way to get back down on the ground and help the other teams."

The translator does a perfectly adequate job, except it doesn't seem to know how to translate the deity name, Serebī. But, not a problem. "I'd definitely prefer not to be sent to a cave. I don't like caves. This labyrinth looks as though it will be cave-like enough, except for being transparent and up in the sky."
