Day 296 — Real MarinaNova — Central Core Awakening
[The last thing you remember is walking through a glowing door. Whether that was a good decision or a bad one is going to depend heavily on how claustrophobic you are, because right now you are fully encased in a very streamlined, sophisticated pod. It is regulating your body temperature, monitoring your vital signs, administering nutrition and dozens of other odds and ends to keep your body functional and healthy during its stay.

You're not usually conscious for this part of things. If you were, it would be a pretty boring experience. On the plus side, there aren't any tubes or wires attached to you. Those are a little too outdated for technology like this. The other plus is that you can open your pod hatch with a push. Luckily for you, those muscles in your arms and legs haven't atrophied. That's part of the science, but it's not perfect. There will be some aching and discomfort.

Take a minute to take stock of everything. You're wearing a bodysuit you don't remember putting on. You're in a giant, spiraling room you've never set eyes on before and your powers—if you have any—are blocked. But you're not alone. There are other people pushing their own pods open or lying still and silent in theirs. In fact there is a very large number of pods. You might not recognize everyone, but that doesn't mean they weren't an inmate at one time—they were even if it was brief.

For the moment there are no bots coming for you, no alarms going off that you can hear, and no immediate threats. The space is vast and the doors aren't locked, but you also might not recognize them as doors or understand how to activate them just yet.]

(OOC: This mingle is for those who went through the doors only. There will be two additional mingles for those who went through the doors and one for those who stayed behind. This mingle should be confined to the central core. The next one will be for exploring. EVENT INFORMATION | REAL MARINANOVA INFORMATION. Make sure to read these links. They have additional information you'll need for this setting.)

	Something like this? When? [And why did nobody tell her about it? Shouldn't that be part of the 101 for new arrivals?] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	It was in the 220s... [She says, rubbing her face as she thinks about it.] It was a different time in a different dome. But I guess some things stay the same. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Is this some kind of secret? Why didn't you tell the new arrivals? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	And what, freak them out when I had no evidence to back up the claim? It's better to find out more information before releasing it to the public. That was a completely different prison too, which doesn't help things. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	What, like we aren't already all freaked out by being arbitrarily imprisoned? [Korra ain't buying it.] People deserve to know! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	needmymp3 2014-11-21 02:58 am UTC (link)
	And how is more on the plate going to help that? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	How does ignorance help? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Listen, I don't know what you think would be a great plan here but freaking out newbies on unreliable information is step one to chaos. Believe me, I know what I'm talking about. Some things people aren't prepared to take on - and this whole false reality thing? Really can screw with you. So the DF can release the information with their own discretion, when the time's right. We don't want chaos and we don't want freak outs, y'know?

It's not like we're going to keep it from everyone forever, or that we want to be here any more than anyone else. But until we have a plan or some solid proof of what we're dealing with? There's no point in handing out reality checks with those little newbie baskets.

	[Korra's not buying it, but there's clearly no point in arguing with her about it.] Whatever. I'm going to see what I can find out. [And screw your Defense Force.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Alright. Be careful with that and take care. (Reply to this) (Parent)
