Beam me up

[The weekly Shuffle doesn't happen quite as it should. No new passengers appear on the ships, and no message is sent in from the hosts. The usual day comes and goes without a stir.

And then, on the second day, another one of those surges of static comes in over the speakers, breaking apart for a voice in the background. It's Diamond, and she sounds too far away from the receiver. She also doesn't sound quite like herself-- her tone flat and cold. Disappointed.]


--I know. I can't. [A pause of empty air, before a short, decisive sigh.] ...Yes. Bring them in.

[A blip of lost time passes right after those words, before every passenger mysteriously wakes alone in their own unfamiliar room. They have never seen this room before, but those familiar with the Hospitality Deck of the Marsiva might recognize the style of decor. It sounds and smells the same as the host ship as well--clean and chrome--but this set of rooms have never been ventured into before.

Welcome back to the Marsiva, dear passengers.]

Absolutely. Nebulae are known to cause all kinds of technical malfunctions. As I told Sokka, it's my suspicion that the fleet that has been following and attacking us isn't after us personally, but rather Atroma.

You think so?

[He rubs the side of his head, thinking it over, before saying a bit dryly]

Huh, I wonder what a group of kidnapping slavers could've done to anger another fleet into attacking.
dancingmd: (oookay)

[Equally as dryly.]

It's a real mystery. Atroma's so charming.

[Then more seriously:]

Their ships are similar to ours... you don't think... could they be from a previous cycle?

[Allen doesn't even seem the least bit surprised by that theory. Instead he just gives out little huff of air]

I hope not.

[Not that shit again please, honestly]

Mmm... I don't much like the implications if they are.
