Knowhere IC

Hey, I'm Rachel. I'm new.

How is everyone settling back in? Medical's back up and running (thanks, Doc) so as people start returning, if anything happens, we'll be ready to take it on.

Also, thanks to those of you who are bringing food back with you, and making special trips to bring back the food.

And for the people who helped transport the tribbles to new homes-- you know who you are. You're beautiful and we love you.

We could also use a little blood, so anyone who can donate, drop on by. We'll keep everything compartmentalized by who and where, it's just safer that way.

Alight, roll call. Where is everyone?

Once an evacuation plan is in place, do you all have a rough idea who is staying?...I finished the arrays design tonight. I heard there are some volunteers to draw it that weren't alchemists. I'll have to send it to you to practice drawing. It's...not easy and it needs to be exact.

[Li-Ming's voice is crisp as ever, although it is tinged with frustration. There is laughter nearby and while it isn't hers it's noticeably Leah's]

oh nephalem solve this problem for me. oh nephalem, go kill this lord of hell. oh nephalem, wade through sewers.

all things i accept, all things i am glad to handle as this is my solemn duty.

( But it occurred to him just then what a mess of creatures he was standing amongst. These were human war machines, and while he’d known that from his conversations with York and Texas both, having finally seen them in action? Well, it was hard to lose the memory. It was terrifying and they were frightening beings. )

Okay, people.

If you've got food stores somewhere, it's time to speak up. We need to put the food somewhere it's going to be safe and figure out some way to ration it. Or we need to start picking out what sauce tastes best on tribbles, because the market's entirely out of food, the mess is out of food, and the one place I had food squirrel away has been replaced by five dozen tribbles.

Who's got food? I've got hungry kids here

[Edit]

You got any, bring it to the Mess and Carlos, North or I will be there to collect it and find a safe spot for it. We'll also get it rationed and let everyone know where they can go to get their daily portions.

I just found a Coca-Cola truck, like a full eighteen wheeler, apparently stocked with Coke.



Dibs.

I got off-shift about an hour ago and headed to the mess to grab some breakfast for the troops (I'm looking at you, Ed, the bottomless pit that is Al, North, Harry, Tex and Mouse - Yes, Ed, Carlos has been cooking Earth food special just for you) and Carlos said they're crazy low on food?

I guess it was there yesterday.. but there's a lot of it missing today?

Ed, are you sleep-eating, is that why you're never hungry?

Miss Spider doing a little late-night snacking?

Are you squirreling it all away, Sam?

Maybe our favorite zombie is preparing for end-times here?

Seriously, people.. where'd the food go? I had to leave with smaller portions so there'd be enough for everyone else.

Can I borrow Theta (and you, as I assume it's a package deal thing)?

Need something.

I've noticed we've picked up quite a few new arrivals this week, so I figured I'd just take a minute to say hello to the new arrivals.

My name is Adeleis Shepard, Captain of the Normandy. From a different than the one we've got here -- which is absolutely worth the visit if you're ever curious -- but I've been here awhile now. If you need any help getting your bearings, don't hesitate to let me know. If you're looking for a way to meet some new people, we've got a great new community center and I also run a weekly poker game -- all experience levels welcome. Just let me know if you'd like to stop by if there's a seat at the table.

For those of you with, or looking to acquire, flight experience, I'm also your go-to here. We've got several classes of ship including, if you're someone with...lets say, mental gifts? Anyway. If you've got the brain for it or the ability to work with interfaced technology easily, a very large ship we're still looking to pick up pilots for -- because it would be a shame if we suddenly lost that knowledge. Everyone else, doesn't matter if you're used to flying stick or with computer assistance, I'm happy to log some flight time with you. Same goes for all you aces back home looking to keep your skills sharp.

Hope you're all settling in alright.

Shepard, Out.

[ Rocket ]

And I'd like to see about getting something we could use to test the targeting systems on the new defenses. Please not a life fire exercise. I'm all for being thorough when it comes to safety, but not at that much risk to myself if it can be avoided.

Hey Knowhere, what's up?

I need better friends, the crazy assholes I'm hanging out with are fucking nuts.

Wanna be friends? I can cook.

Okay, so now that the pilot episode of 'Welcome to your new life in Space', where I got to meet the cool dog and maybe freak out a little bit is out of the way...

Hi everybody!

My name's May Parker, but my friends call me Mayday, and this is my first time in Space. Which I've been told is kind of the normal here? Anyway. This is kind of weird, but also pretty cool I think. I mean, how many people get to be suddenly whisked away to an alien planet and then get to come to a place like this? Uhm. Other stuff about me: New York is pretty much the best place in the world, I'm a big fan of science, biology and chemistry mostly, and I like to keep my medical skills sharp just because when are those not useful? I bury my nose in books a lot but uh, see again about the first time in space, so I'll be doing a fair bit of exploring.

So...Space. Long time watcher, first time visitor. What's your advice Knowhere?
