Day 221 — Morning mingle : Main shelter
[Wake up and smell the lack of coffee. You're on a bunk bed. Maybe you're a top and maybe you're a bottom. There are five other people in your room. Maybe they're friends or enemies or faces you barely recognize if at all. It doesn't matter much. You can leave this room and you don't need to come back to it.

You should get your rations though. You're probably hungry. You're definitely a little sluggish of body. What happened to that bruise you got sparing yesterday? What happened to your newly dyed hair? Mystery, mystery... Move along. Find the public bathrooms and do your business with a hundred of your closest friends.

Find the kiosk and get your rations. Careful not to let anyone steal them. You won't get more until tomorrow and the bots won't care. They aren't here to hold your hand. If you get sick or hurt and they deem it necessary they will take you to the hospital whether you wish it or not. But why dwell on such things? You're here now and you might as well enjoy it. You even get a free day today.]

(OOC: OOC info. This mingle takes place in the Main shelter over the morning hours.

[ Data is not prone to stiffness or sluggishness upon waking, regardless of how long he's been inactive. This is one thing for which he can be grateful when he reactivates, immediately bringing himself into an upright sitting position in one swift motion. The first thing he becomes aware of is the extent to which his range of vision is limited - his usual routine upon activation is to survey his surroundings, which includes a thorough examination of his surroundings across each spectrum visible to him. But nothing beyond a standard human range of vision is possible for him to access. At the same time, he discovers that his hearing is similarly limited, many frequencies which he can typically monitor entirely blocked from his perception.

A self-diagnostic informs him that all his systems are functioning within normal parameters, even as a cursory examination of the ports in his fingers and forearms informs him that his auxiliary systems are offline, rendering many of his nonessential abilities inoperable. But what is exceptionally distressing is how he flexes his fingers only to find them incapable of exerting any exceptional force, his grip weak and slack by comparison to his usual abilities.

The growing anxiety as he takes stock of his current state is enough to inform him that at least his emotion chip is functioning properly. He lets it be for the moment as he takes stock of the room around him from his position on a bottom bunk. All told, his entire examination has only taken a few moments - to him, of course, it feels like dragging eons. ]

	[Buffy is trying to locate everyone she knows and members of her defense force team are included in that. She smiles tightly upon seeing Data.] Not ideal circumstances, are they? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[ Though he's not going to quite manage to set aside his anxiety any time soon - not unless he actually turns his emotion chip off - he returns her smile with his own, a bit terse and uneasy. ]

They certainly leave something to be desired.

[ And because Data is really less comfortable worrying about himself than he is making sure everyone else is okay... ]

Have you arrived unharmed?

	[She understands that reasoning. It is easier to focus on others. It seems proactive.] I have and my sister is with me. I've found most of my friends. You? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I have located two of my crewmates, as well as the majority of my friends. It would seem that we have, at least, been fortunate in some respects. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Definitely counting that as a win. It doesn't look like we're going to get that many here. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ And his own hands remain lightly at her sides as he frowns with concern. ] I am experiencing issues with a number of my systems as well. I have not yet determined precisely how my functionality has been altered, but it is likely we were affected through similar means. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Which was better statistics than the last transfer.] That is somewhat reassuring to hear. [He hadn't run into everyone he wanted to see just, yet, but he was determined to make enough rounds in this smaller dome in order to do just that.] You are unharmed, yes? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Well enough. I am not injured. [Which was good enough for now. The lacking of his quantum brainwaves would require an adjustment, but he would make do.] I suppose that is the best we can ask for at this time. I was considering compiling a list of the missing. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Oh -- oh, my. [Lacus understood about power restrictions, but she never imagined Data's systems could be compromised.] If you would like some help with identifying the malfunction, I know quite a bit about artificial intelligence programing. But of course, if there is anything else that would be of comfort or help, I would be glad to do that as well. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
