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 Those are a little too outdated for technology like this.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.)

[ It does occur to him that he is fortunate in being able to turn off the emotion chip; those feelings will be waiting there for him to deal with when he reactivates it, but for the time being, he can focus on learning as much as possible from the situation without the preoccupation. He certainly appreciates that Deanna will be there to help him with it when that time comes.

Of course, concern for her had registered before he turned it off, and it remains in a way - concern such as he was able to experience before the chip, with some insight from the experience of emotionally driven concern. So even as he has cut off his own emotions for the moment, he recognizes that she cannot do that.

So he gives a soft, gentle nod. ]

Yes. I have.

[ Which is all that needs to be said, of course. ]

Are you unharmed?

[ That is chosen carefully - they are not all right. He knows that, and so their physical condition is all he can address. ]

[ deanna appreciates his choice of words. the emotional turmoil for them both has been too great through this, so addressing their physical condition is a much better option. they can focus on the emotional side when they're alone and better able to deal with it together.

still, having a friend here, someone who will understand even if it's later on, helps center her and keep her calm. ]

I am. [ she's as fine physically as it is possible to be. ] Are you?

[ she isn't geordi or beverly and so she can't really help if he says something's wrong, but it's better to know now. ]

	[ He gives a small nod - even if she can't help him, the inquiry is appreciated. ] I do not appear to have been damaged, though my systems are somewhat suppressed and operating in a limited capacity in both strength and reflexive speed. It is an experience which I have endured before, after the population had been transferred to an alternate prison. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

You're the second person who has mentioned another prison to me. I think once we've learned all we can about our current situation, I would like to sit down and talk about a few things with you.

[ this and Seven's presence here. they definitely need to have a nice, long discussion of discoveries and feelings once this is all over. ]

I don't have access to my empathic abilities, either. [ and he can guess at how she's taking that without riker here to act as an anchor for her. ]
