Day 7: Screw your courage to the sticking place: Start

For those who have been on the train a little while they will be expecting this, the beginning of a new month, after certain passengers have strange dreams. Early in the morning of day seven of the month of Egret their SCA's glow the colour of the void and a holographic message appears. Their next mission. Another world to save.

Preperation

Those that go to the dressing room will find flight suits and helmets, one per passenger. Those who are not human shaped will find ones adapted for them, some of them quite odd. The flight suits are tight fitting and light, but once they put them on they will feel quite warm. Each is the colour of the Voidtreckers team and have a black train symbol on the chest, the helmets have clear fronts and coloured backs.

They have an hour or so to prepare for their mission. Time to make sure everyone understands what a space ship is, at least. Hopefully.

Arrival

"We are now approaching System #7212108." Finally it is time. "Warning: Exit from void in ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five, four, three, two, one." A jolt, a flash of light and suddenly the colours are gone, out of the windows they will see they are in a large hanger.

And outside of the train there are five scaled humanoids with guns pointing directly at the train. Those that try the doors find they do not open.

"What void transport is this?" One of the creatures demands. "We didn't request void help, explain yourselves."

Another speaks. From where they are stood near the engine. "Voidtrecker Express."

Even though the voidtreckers are unfamiliar with these people the surprise is clear in the creatures eyes.

"Stand down." They snap at the others, who lower their weapons and step back.

The commander looks worried. "Give them anything they need." They turn to hurry out of the hanger.

The doors open, allowing the Voidtreckers off the train.

One of the remaining guards steps forwards.

"I am Hitrinto, I apologise, we were not expecting you." They look worried as well. "We have everything under control but if you are here..."

At that moment there is a clatter of noise over the radio.

"There are reports coming in of a second wormhole in the system." A second voice spoke almost immediately. "Shield Station Two has been hit. I repeat Shield Station two is taking heavy fire." A third soon after. "More enemies ships sighted, reports of a second wormhole confirmed."

Hitrinto looked at the Voidtreckers grimly. "Come with me."

If the Voidtreckers indeed follow them they will find an array of ships. Hitrinto quickly explains the basics, two person ships are easier to pilot. The controls can be shared or can be set so one person drives whilst the other concentrates on fighting. They have solo ships but they are difficult to pilot and they will only give them to those who have ship fighting experience.

Another guard hands out blasters and will give quick lessons to anyone who is unsure on how they work. For all that they were surprised they guards seem to accept the presence of the Voidtreckers and work quickly to get them armed and ready for battle. Choose ships, have a quick practice of weapons and get ready to go!

Onward!

Blue team are already where they need to be, they can begin to explore the station, get the lay of the land and figure out a plan of helping guard this place.

Everyone else is off, purple and red are off to the second wormhole, orange to the shield station that needs help! Board your ships and set off to help!

(OOC: Team posts detailing the next part of each mission will go up on the 15th March)

Normally, The Doctor might have offered a playfully, slightly flirtatious comment back but this time he was all serious and leads Jack over away from the others, talking a hushed voice.

"I uh.. I don't know." He admits, rubbing at his forehead. "It's hard to say-you're um special talent-I need to know if you to avoid testing it here-I'm not sure if you'd actually come back since technically-we're not in our universe and Rose-the one with the Time Vortex in her head and can all across time, likely can't see you here." He explains, a serious expression on his face. He sucks in a breath and thinks over what he's asking.

"I know you, and I know I can't stop you from doing what you have to-But try not to test it, eh?"

The Doctor's more somber tone and the fact that he wanted to talk privately was enough to set Jack's concern up high. That was never good.

He listened, arms folded across his chest...and he frowned. He had a good point... but perhaps this was the first time he was actually considering that they might not be in their own universe after all... and he suddenly felt a rock drop into his stomach. Somehow he hadn't even thought to try to test if he was still as he was back home, and now with this, and Ianto shipping out as well... this could end very badly if were careless.

"Well, you're not wrong. I'm not just going to let people get hurt if I can do something about it.. That's.. just not me." He chewed his lip for a moment and sighed. "You remember Ianto, right? Cute? Welsh? Usually very well-dressed? If.. something happens to me, you'll make sure to take care of him right?"

The Doctor offers him a warm smile at that comment. Jack's come along away from the con-artist he'd met all those years ago. Of course one thing never changed-Jack didn't want anyone to get hurt. "I know, and I'm so proud of you for it. But try and take it easy, okay?" It'd be nice to know for a fact if Jack's trick was still in effect but it's not worth the risk of testing it.

"Yes, I believe I've seen about on occasion. I'll do my best." He states, giving the other a tiny salute.

"Thanks, Doctor. Means a lot." Jack straightens his back and responds with a salute of his own, not really caring how much he hates it or not.

"Maybe once all this is over we can run a few tests so we can know for sure. If you're up to it, that is."
