HMS Surprise Network

So, I was playing around in the Library today. Spoiler alert! I know who Lana's baby daddy is. I wish there'd been a pool. I would have made BANK. Either way, in the process. I think I found my spirit animal.

Seriously.
Look at
it's stupid
face
I need twenty.

Is it just me or are things extra quiet around here lately?

To get out of this weird feelin' we seem to be in, I'm throwin' a party. Why? Because my room was re-done. OK, so the party itself won't be in my room. But hey, it's as good of a reason as any to throw a party, yeah?

I'm proposin' we throw it in the observatory. Mainly 'cause that's just my favorite place on this hunk of metal. I'll bring booze and cigs. Either you show and drink and have fun with me, or I end up drinkin' it all by myself and wind up drunk-network textin' you bitches late into the night until you turn off your devices.

You're choice.

So, I just tried Turkish Delight for the first time.

It was good. Not 'sell out my family to the White Witch' good, but it was okay.

I don't get it. . . .

Onwards and forwards, isn't it? Fascinating space station just brimming with life! I love it! Can't wait to see the next place on the agenda. Well, I can, but I don't want to. Suppose the downtime gives me more of a chance to focus on repairing the bigger picture here. All those little backwards breadcrumbs that need retracing! Big project with a capital 'B' as it starts off the sentence and affords it more emphasis. Very important textually speaking!

Anyway, how are you enjoying the repaired Surprise? Looks brilliant! Loads of things to be discovered! Suppose I can't say the vessel wasn't aptly named in the end.

Martha
Never did ask. How is old Knox recovering? Should I come in to see him, or have you and the doctors let him be released?

Meg
I had a chat with a friend not long ago. She mentioned you, said you'd encountered reapers. Given that we're from different universes, I must confess I am quite curious as to what they were like. Would you mind enlightening me a bit?

[Private to Dean]
We can speak here.

So. . .anyone trying to get to the commissary, don't go down the east corridor by the gym. That door is broken. It looked thirsty

[Filtered to Cas]

I might also be stuck in this corridor now. . .I don't know what is in those pills I got at the station, but they are awesome. Except now my aim is off. I keep landing in the toilet. Help.

OMG.

Look! Listen! Listen and look at what I found! Apparently when I downloaded Lzzy's old stuff, it picked up the stuff from later years too. Holy crap.

Have you guys seen the clubs here? This place is fuckin' fantastic! I can't see any reason to go anywhere else on this insane space-station.

This almost makes up for the whole almost bein' one with the walls of my room thing durin' the crash. Almost.

If anyone needs me. That's where you'll find me.

[B]

B! B! You have to come check this out. It's a Brave New World indeed.

The people here are rude. Several threatened to eat me in a language that I'm told is Zhorish, but only half that number sexually propositioned me. One also offered me food, but she seemed confused when I informed her I have no need of sustenance.

I would suggest traversing the station armed. For your own safety.

Uhm, so I think maybe I'm dreaming, but I'm pretty sure I am in space, and like any real modern person should, I turn to Facebook first to figure out what's going on.

But anyway, I'm Peter Parker, and thought I'd say hello before I wake up in the middle of class with my teacher glaring down at me.

FILTER: Bowtie
This ship needs our help, I'm sure you understand. Might I suggest we split the tasks accordingly? Well, going to anyway, but I would appreciate the assist, Doctor.

FILTER: Companions (his+Eleven's!), Zev, and Castiel (celestialintent)
Do let me know you're all in one piece as soon as you can.

Hello, Surprise! As you know, we appear to have been egregiously injured and in urgent need of aiding Suri in massive repairs. A ship this size isn't ideal for collisions, but she's got something going for her: there's me! And the new-new me. Better yet, there's all of you. Time is of the essence, you can imagine. If you don't mind, I'd like to organise the lot of you for the places that would need you the most.

Whatever skills you've got, technological or otherwise, tell me now. No matter how useless you think it may be, I need to know. Every single one of you is important. You're all briliant, clever sorts capable of more than I imagine even you realise. Your assistance is invaluable to me and this ship that's salvaged us from certain nonexistence.


Doctors, I don't expect I have to ask you to stay with Suri, but do let me know if there's any curious or sudden changes in her condition.

Hey, everyone! Tifa here. Just thought I'd give you guys a heads up! If I don't stay busy, I go stir crazy. Thankfully, you've all got an untended bar and that happens to be one of my specialties. So, I've taken it over (unless someone has an objection). Hope I get to meet more of you this way. You definitely don't have to order liquor just to hang out there, so please swing by!

Well.

I guess the HYDRA threat has been eliminated.


Kind of threw the baby out with the bathwater, there, guys.

All right, not knowing where I am in space or time, that I can handle, but collapse of the multiverse sounds a tad problematic. I don't suppose I'm going to be lucky enough that someone will tell me the introductory message is simply overdramatic.

Really, someone please tell me that. I might have lived through a year that didn't actually happen, but at least everyone was mostly fine once we fixed things.

I'm Martha Jones, by the way. I don't suppose there's any chance my family's here, too?

I've lived through some fucked up shit in my life, but I don't think I've been more stressed out than when watching these damned Final Destination movies.

"I just miraculously survived a plane crash, now let me go to my job as knife sharpener at Sharp's Knife Emporium."

Humans are stupid.

...


Why am I in space? Hello? Cloud? Barrett? It's Tifa! What's going on?

Good planet! Loads of fun. Never met this species before, but I quite like them. Not too fond of the fighting bits, of course, but it appears some of us have liberated several from such a fate! I've got one, bright yellow Pikachu to call my own now. Sits on my shoulder, think I ought to have a pirate ship now! Or is there one on the TARDIS? Got to check that. Never know, might be right alongside the gymnasium or the bouncy castle. Every vessel needs a bouncy castle.

Hello!

Would you like me to tell them now, about Suri?

[ EDITED LATER FOR ALL TO SEE ]

All right. Time to let all of you know something tremendously important about this ship. Specifically the AI, Suri. Not everything is as it seems, I'm afraid. There is a young girl on this ship in a very deep coma. To draw her from stasis could lead to her death, which is a risk I will not take unless she asks it of me. That very girl has become attached to this ship's entire mainframe and manifested herself as a hologram. It is the only reason she's able to continue living apart from her medical chamber. Suri is a young girl, too young, and quite sick. As long as I am here, I will be responsible for her. The ship's good doctors have been taking care of her as well, and thank you for that. There, now.. If you've got questions, I suppose I can attempt to answer them.

So, I mean, I'm pretty good about making sure Arya is fed and Frank takes care of himself, so. . .am I supposed to be feeding the thing that followed me back to the ship? I say followed. He rode in one of those ball things. Anyway. Just. . .really. He's been here awhile and he doesn't seem to be like. . wasting away or anything.

Well, anymore than he probably did when he was alive. He's pretty damned sturdy.

They should have handed out pamphlets or something.

So, these weird furballs! Not that I don't love Shadow (which, by the way is his name now. Thanks for the votes, peeps) but damn did I jump on that too soon.

...stop starin' at me, kiddo, you know you're the only one for me.

ANYWAY! I can't get enough of this place. But, real talk, why are there so many of 'em? What nuclear plant dumped its mess in the water 'round here to produce these things?

There's a GIANT blue and tan thing sleeping in the middle of the road to the east of the port city. I mean, like, it's blocking the entire ravine. So, if anyone does want to venture out, don't go that way.

[Filtered to Cas]

I feel like we should try to wake it up, but apparently there's a casino a few cities to the west. Feel like trying your luck? :P
