GOOD MORNING ZION

[It's about 8:00 in the evening; the vast majority of shops closed and dinners eaten.]

I HAVE A HOVERSHIP AND NO ONE TO CREW IT

WORK FOR ME. RESEARCH AND CIVILIAN/MILITARY CONTRACTS. IT'S BETTER THAN WORKING FOR THE ZDG FULL-TIME BY AN IMMEASURABLY HUGE PERCENTAGE. I KNOW, I COULD SET THE BAR HIGHER, BUT YOU KNOW WHAT

ETA 1 WEEK TO COMPLETE REPAIR/RETROFIT. NO AUTOMATED RETRACTING STRIPPER POLES THIS TIME (MORE OF A PROMISE THAN A REGRET)
unplug: (caution)
[The Real again.

You all have the same orders, or close enough. Forty-eight hour rotations for teams, twelve-hour shifts for every woman and man, five ships available if you include the two Olympians that survived. Formal crew assignments are less rigid these days, though some captains insist. Commissioned or not, your task is to find the ejected control unit of the Harbinger, which measures twenty by twenty feet, wherever it scuttled off to in the tunnels. Sounds big. Sounds easy— if you've never been into the tunnels.

The comms line is clear now. As your hovercraft floats its sensors and lights through cold darkness into the next gruelling hour, the chatter offers some measure of comfort. Young or old, chafed by habitual smoking or clear as a singer's, these voices accompany you through what was so recently enemy territory.]





OOC: This post represents casual network spam and navel-gazing while characters are on this mission! Your characters can participate while on-duty or between shifts. No plot action/modding will occur in this post unless otherwise requested.

The search lasts 1 week, and personnel determine early on that the control unit must have hidden rather than escaped all the way back to the Machine home base.

Additionally, an addendum about the fates of the Phoenix and Nidhoggr are here. Players are welcome to take rotations with the Shangrila instead, and play it loose with schedules.

Hello, Zion! With the arrival of a new crop of unplugged, I thought we could talk about some of the more fun aspects of all of our Matrixes; that is, music! Making music is something we humans just do, you know? So! To that end, I'm looking to acquire some of the songs from everybody's homes, for a ~secret project~ of mine. I have a few ideas about how to bring it out with me, but I'd like to hear from all of you about what sort of things you really like to listen to!

So if you're talking about the newly unplugged, do you say "floppy baby" or "noodle"?

Personally I like floppy baby. It's way more universal.




And to all you newborn floppy noodle babies out there: hi and welcome.
