Day 444 - Morning Good Bye


[info]aftersmith
[info]marinanova
[There is nothing broadcast to the dome 'today', for Marina is an empty simulation now. Come midnight of Day 443, every last ounce of inmate data was ported out to home worlds, shared or true. Severed of its limbs, Sector 0 existed only so long as its server power allowed it. And come that midnight hour, power had been indefinitely shut off, suspending it the way a sealed room can be preserved for decades.

But all was not yet done with Marina Nova Asylum.

There were still loose ends, ways to trace or track the information on and about those people ported out. The data needed to be properly cleansed and destroyed. They could go without doing it, Jaden especially, but something in him didn't feel like he could rest until he was certain he'd done his part to help those freed remain that way.

It's with reservation that he connects once more to stand amongst the empty sector, feeling it scream at him in silence after such a period of time since he last visited. He wears the familiar guise of his avatar, remembering the feeling of having limbs with a soft quirked smile. He'll miss these inmates as he missed the others.

He plays one final jaunty tune for himself as he begins categorizing data for deconstruction.]

[Have you ever heard Jaden this... tense?] Greetings. This is - Day 443.

I apologize for the state of the dome at present. I - [a distant hum makes Jaden's voice flickers in tone - from audible word to something that feels like rain, a tingly sort of jolt through the nervous system before a crackle of static returns his speech to something you'd actually understand] to stay where you are and...

Oh Christ, that's not good.

-I got this, Jaden. You get out. [ While you can being the implied end of that sentence. Mary sounds rough, like she's holding out with the last bit of energy she's got. ]

You're in luck, residents. We made it. We've successfully managed to obtain your physical forms and- [ A burst of static. ] -and established a secure connection. The program is... the program is running. Unstoppable. After today, you're free to go where you choose... to chase your own destiny.

[ She releases a slow breath. ]

You have until nightfall to say your goodbyes. Good luck- [ If Mary was about to stay anything else, you'll never know. The transmission cuts out, the sound of distant explosions the last you get from her end before everything goes silent.

This is it. This is your final moment in prison. ]

Day 442 / Video and action / open


[info]foreverjack
[info]marinanova
Video – 9 am

I assume it doesn't need to be said, but everyone get yourselves and anything you want to hang onto to Sector 0.

Anyone need help with anything, let me know.


Action – open

He spends the morning in Sector 2, picking up a few bits they might need in MAHR and then checking for anyone he needs to shoo out of the sector. He pauses to gaze at the Defence Force Headquarters where he spent so much of his time until the last few weeks, and the Library, where Ianto spent so much of his. A whole lot of memories there and who knows if they'll ever return.

The early afternoon is Sector 3, where he checks in briefly on the clinic, visits the hot springs for memory's sake, and then heads for the Bull's Eye store, where he starts loading sleeping bags and other equipment onto trolleys and shuttling them through to Sector 0.

Sector 4 is more personal. He's lived here the whole eight months he's been here, and built up a lot of memories. Bean Crushers, where he gets the last perfectly brewed coffee from his pet bot Taylor. The Daffodil Dive, with the conflicting emotions it invokes. The little row of restaurants called Little Earth where he and Ianto have eaten so many meals. Captain Jack's Exotic Emporium, a more recent venture but one he's put of effort a lot into; he bags up a few of his favourite items to take with him, just in case. And then there's the apartment he's shared with Ianto all this time, chock full of memories, and quite a few little mementoes he's determined not to leave behind, things like the little book of photos Ianto gave him at 'Christmas', and the box of photos he'd lost in the Hub that the wardens had thoughtfully recreated for him.

Come evening, he can be found in Sector 0, mentally checking people off to make sure everyone's there, and wandering around to see if anyone needs a hand setting up.

[The clinic can be seen behind him in various states of being packed up. Maybe the other doctors are even hard at work doing just that. He already helped move all his personal things worth saving to Sector 0 and he's trusting Chuck to guard them and set up a home away from home while he helps transport some hopefully unneeded medical supplies.]

If anyone feels like proving how big and strong they are feel free to stop by the clinic and move heavy things with me.

[Action]

[And later he can be found assembling a makeshift medical tent in the last safe sector. Hopefully they won't need it. Hopefully everything will be back to normal tomorrow. He isn't exactly counting on it though.]

[He's cutting it close.

He knows how to pack a bag and go, that's not a problem. But a whole lot of people he knows and loves just so happen to live in Sector 3. It's making him anxious.

Worse, whatever animal-vibe-instinct dragons have going on sent his little pet bolting as soon as they stepped outside for a potty break.]


If anyone needs help moving to Sector 0, let me know.

Also, if you've seen my dragon, she's run away. I really need to find her.

[ Action ]

[Before the deadline, Nico can be found desperately searching all around Sector 3 for an elusive little dragon. That dragon is special, and he can't leave without her.]

DAY 442 — Morning Greeting


[info]aftersmith
[info]marinanova
[Tense, Jaden's voice is sharper today.] Today is day 442, everyone.

Thank you for your efforts yesterday in vacating the voided sectors. We had hoped that would be enough, but as it stands... [he pauses, a stressed sigh escaping him] we must continue to shut down Sectors to preserve resources. By noon, sector 2 will be shut down. By 3PM we will be shutting down Sector 3 and by 6PM Sector 4 will also be voided. I am attempting to stagger the shut down for your convenience but please gather all belongings of worth, and relocate yourselves to Sector 0 at the soonest opportunity. We cannot guarantee these Sectors being present past those exact times, so please ensure you are out of there.

Check on your neighbors, check on your friends. Leave unnecessary belongings behind, bring only what you need. Thank you.

[Martha's face is fairly hard when she appears on the screen. Her voice, steady. She looks like she's at a mission briefing.]

Right. Looking at my bingo card, I can safely say that losing full sectors seems to be a new incident. And we're supposedly not part of the prison network any longer. Seems we would have been transferred somewhere else by now were that the case. Any thoughts?

[ Guess who stayed perhaps a little too long in Sector 5 over night? To be fair he had a good reason for it but he's still cutting it a little too close for comfort, stumbling into a half-run the last few yards into Sector 0, turning around as he's passed the Sector 5 gate to watch it just disappear.

This is when he turns on the video feed, showing a whole lot of nothing. The absence of being there, anti-existence, your eye just glides off it without finding purchase. ]


They weren't kidding. This place is really going to the dogs.

[ He turns the camera on himself, a bit of blood still smeared at the corner of his mouth, forgotten from his meal earlier. ]

To those it may concern... Tyki Mikk isn't going to be bothering anyone anymore.

[ And with that he shuts off the feed. ]

[ Mary's usually calm and collected voice is noticeably strained today, like a mom trying to get her kids to put on life jackets before the whole goddamn cruise ship sinks into the ocean. There's little room for arguing. ]

Residents. This is your final warning - if you haven't evacuated yourselves from sectors one and five there's nothing we can do to ensure your safety. The sectors will be voided within the next hour. This is not a drill.

Please.

[ And with that the transmission cuts off. ]

[Aigis doesn't make many calls. She usually keeps to herself, or tackles what this place throws at them alone. But what their jailers have announced today sounds serious and she looks appropriately concerned.]

Excuse me. I would like to evacuate the Pet Cafe today before the Sector is shut down. I know they may not be real animals. Perhaps they are just part of this program like everything else. But... but I would still like to help them. Is there anyone who can assist me?

[Action]

[And shortly after her call for help she can be found doing just that. A few people heee know she can talk to dogs. Those who don't might be in for a bit of confusion when they come across a robot girl holding a very serious conversation with all the Cafe dogs, who seem to be focused and paying close attention to her words.]

I believe our work will go faster if we have your assistance. If you are able, would you please carry what supplies you can to Sector 0? [There's some barking, which she listens to intently before nodding.] An excellent suggestion. If you cannot carry items please assist other animals in finding their way. Thank you.

[Rebecca's not sure how she takes this ominous losing of Sectors or how far she should really be worried, but her brain's back in action mode and prepared for the worst. It's one of the few times she feels a pang of what it was like to be back home, when each passing second might be your last. That reminder that she's alive, not a resetable piece of data. That loss of the safety net that she had begun to cling to here.

She opens a feed and claps, dressed in a tank top with her hair pinned up. The room behind her looks disassembled, like she's in the midst of packing for vacation. In a way, she is, in at least that she's got her bag full of necessities ready by the door.]


So we're losing two Sectors. I know we all know to move it, but in those Sectors are some places that are going kaput for God knows how long. The hospital, the Shack, the convenience store and the pet cafe are in them. Now would be the time to root through them for anything to take with us, food - supplies, especially for pets that are getting displaced with us.

Ton, you and yours at the clinic - will you be alright on any supplies or should we loot the hospital while we still have a chance?

[Private to Aidan Reilly]

I want to say goodbye to the gardens, before maybe they're next to go. Meet me there?

[Private to Spike]

Will you be okay without the Shack? Is there enough blood to move for you to keep alright for a little while?

Day 440 / Action / Closed and open


[info]foreverjack
[info]marinanova
Closed to Spike

He spoke to both Spike and Ianto separately yesterday and was assured that Spike was handling it all and not to worry. He tried, but he can't honestly say he slept very well, and it's still early when he gives up altogether and slips along to Spike's apartment – early enough that Spike might not even have slept yet at all if he's stayed up watching over a distraught Ianto.

He knocks on the door softly so as not to wake Ianto if he has managed to sleep, knowing that Spike's superior hearing will catch it. "Spike? Can I come in?"

Closed to Ianto

Later in the day, he takes over custody of Ianto so Spike can go off and do what he needs to do. He keeps it together well enough while Spike's there, because there still seems to be something of a need to keep a brave face on in front of Spike, but as soon as the door shuts behind Spike he can't stop himself pulling Ianto tightly into his arms. "I was worried about you."

Open

Tyki's back, and he can't help but be worried by that, but he's not going to let it stop him going about his daily business either. Especially since apparently tomorrow they're going to lose their beach for some indefinite time period, so he's damn well going to make the most of it while it's still there! He spends extra long this morning swimming, and then lying on the sand under the fake sun to dry off, enjoying its rays while he can. (Sure, it's the same sun in the rest of the dome, but it's the bit about being beside the sea that he enjoys, hearing the lap of the waves, smelling the salt in the air, feeling the spray on his skin.)

Later in the day, he goes along to Captain Jack's Exotic Emporium and sends away the helpful bot who minds the store when he's not there. He gazes round at all the stock, wondering if all this will be the next to go, right after he's got it all set up just the way he wanted it.

Towards the end of the day (but before he takes Ianto home) he can be found patrolling through Sectors 1 and 5, looking for anyone still remaining there, to encourage them to get out while they still can.

[Phanan listens to the morning announcements while he brushes his teeth, thoughtful but not at all surprised. He's been waiting for this since their transition to this new system of running things and he told Mary as much from the start. This was never an idea that was going to work long term. It's annoying not being able to do anything about it though besides maybe complain or bug Rebecca about some sort of magic computer solution. Or at least it is until he hears the end of the announcement about closing Sector 1 tomorrow. Maybe it won't be forever, maybe whatever's happening here will be happily resolved but there's no way to know that for sure and as far as he's concerned the beach deserves a proper send off. It's been a special place for them after all.

So he rinses off his toothbrush and sticks is head out into the hallway to yell.]
Hey Chuck! Get your swimsuit, we're going to the beach!

[Ianto has barely hung up on his call with Tyki before he's staggering out of the library towards the Blood Shack. He'll have to talk to jack soon as well but right now he just can't take being alone with this and while Jack could be anywhere in the dome he knows exactly where he can find Spike. What's more he's the one who has a past with Tyki, the one who might actually try to talk to him in person and the idea of him being hurt is all he can think about.

The walk to the Blood Shack is a blur, one more thing that's impossible to focus on with his frantic pulse ringing in his ears and the barely controlled panic coursing through his whole body. He's genuinely terrified by this turn of events and he couldn't hide it even if he tried. He's white and his hands are shaking enough to make him struggle with the door. When he's finally inside he doesn't know what to say or do except stagger around the bar and into his arms.]

Day 440 - Morning Greeting


[info]aftersmith
[info]marinanova
Hello, inmates. I have to extend a somewhat somber morning greeting for Day 440. I believe we've established ourselves to be as transparent as possible with you, and so I must let you all know that Sector 6 is no longer accessible. It and its contained inmates are no longer with us, due to an attack on us from the outside. You may be aware that you are precious data that we are trying to shield from the hands that once stole you, and to continue optimal running of this simulation we will be shutting down Sectors 1 and 5 tomorrow as a precaution. Please vacate these sectors in entirety by tomorrow morning, anything and everyone left behind will be voided. That action cannot be undone.

I apologize... for this unplanned upheaval. We lost... quite a few inmates today and are doing everything we can to ensure your safety.

[No jaunty tune.]

[The camera opens up on a dimly lit room, only the sight of a man's hands hovering over the keys of a piano. He cracks his knuckles and then his fingers glide over the keys, starting into and playing out a solid rendition of Für Elise without error. The further into the song the faster his hands move, until the end where he abruptly shuts the lid of the piano closed.

He leans down to look in the lens, offering a wide (and wicked?) grin.]
I'm up for taking some requests on what to play next.

Good morning, residents. I hope you've recovered from the last few days — if you require a more thorough scrub, the spa in Sector 3 might be just what you're looking for. Bull's Eye also carries excellent cleaning supplies, if you want to extend this cleanliness spree to the rest of your domicile.

That's all for today. Stay safe. Your well-being is very important to us.

[ And as always, a jaunty tune. ]
