VOICE. DANGER, DANGER WILL ROBINSON.

Who: Sam and you
Broadcast: Fleetwide
Action: SS Bloodsport, Iskaulit, maybe even the planet. (Let me know if you have a wildcard!)
When: A while after Katie's post. Yikes!! Information on alerting locals also answered here.
Note: (There's a subthread where people can have their characters list their dream, if they'd like, but of course it's just for funsies.)



... Hey everyone, this is Sam.

I feel like we should get to this as soon as possible, so here I go: there's something coming, some force that's going to endanger this planet and the people on it. We've all been having the dreams -- dreams of pretty nasty things, too, I'm betting; I've kept track of some that I've seen on the network, and if I know this fleet by now, I know it's not just coincidence we're here.

[He shifts, glancing toward Katie's sleeping form; he's been a bit of a concerned guard dog, really, and it's hard not to be worried. He'd known... she had a problem with honesty, and now his fears are verified -- honesty might very well be a death sentence. That said, she was in good hands, and she's stable, healed.

... Still good to watch out for her, just in case. He clears his throat]


For anyone who's been trying to contact her, or has sent messages... Katie's going to be alright; she really strained herself there, but she's resting now, and I'll be keeping an eye out for her, to make sure she's okay. As for her network post... I put complete faith in her and her abilities, when she says that the planet is terrified -- and that danger's coming. Hell, the dreams we've had are all warnings, and it makes sense that a planet with an aura like this would have some sort of... mental link, with the people near it or on it.

.....

I had a dream, too.

I knew it wasn't... just some dream, because I've had premonitions before. Dreams that come true. And there's something about them that you can't just shake, so I imagine you guys felt the same, that these weren't just your ordinary nightmares. In mine, I saw a calm planet, and I knew... I knew it wasn't what it looked like, that the calmness was a lie. I could hear it, this awful sound from the planet... and then I stood in a forest, suddenly, and I saw... beings, crouched and hidden. Hunting me.

And that was just what I got. Our combined dreams, they don't paint a good picture.

[He rubs a hand over his mouth, those little unhappy frown between his brows.]

I've been talking to the locals, trying to warn them. Some of them have been skeptical, but, um, I think with some work and a lot of voices, we can get them to consider that something very real and very deadly might be approaching this world... Please, if you can, talk to them. Warn them in any way you can. Even if this awful thing doesn't happen during our time here, it may very well happen when we leave.

They're people of superstition and have a strong spiritual compass, so our odds might be good.

[A pause.]

It seems like the Marsiva, the Atroma, it... keeps sending us to worlds that need some kind of help. This is just another notch in the belt, you know? The terraformers, the sickness on the water planet, and situations like this... I don't know what they're planning, or why they're sending us to these worlds. You'll never convince me that makes them noble, no matter what their intentions, and as much as I hate dancing to their tune, the safety of these civilians is something I can't turn a blind eye to right now.

Please let me know if you can help spread the word. I'm going to make an attachment where we can note what our dreams had in them, so we all are on the same page. You can find it below. If you hear anything from the locals, let me know and I can pass it along or add it to our notes, or if you'd like, I can add your dream to the list myself.

I doubt we can evacuate a whole planet -- I doubt that would even protect them from total harm, if this danger is closer than we'd like by now -- but we can at least give them time to prepare themselves for a possible invasion, wherever it comes from. A fighting chance.

Captains of the fleet... Make sure you have something planned for emergency action, too.

I like to hope not, but... we could be right in the middle of something ugly. Last thing we need is another raid.

And again -- if anyone has not gotten one yet, I can install a GPS feature on your network device, so that if you need to send your coordinates immediately, you can press a button and it'll be broadcast. Even if you're not sure where you are. It's not foolproof, but if you get into trouble, it's a really useful way to get aid to you quickly.

[If you need to find Sam, he is sitting at his desk aboard the Bloodsport, shifting through his notes on prior planets, quietly scribbling down whatever new information he receives; you may also find him later in the day at The Space Bar aboard the Iskaulit, stopping for a drink after a day down on the planet, trying to spread the word, too. If you happen to run into him on the planet, this is just about what he's doing -- trying to spread the warning, and even sharing dream descriptions from other fleet members, if they're offered to him.]

[[FLEET MEMBERS CAN RESPOND TO AN ATTACHMENT BELOW IF THEY WOULD LIKE TO CONTRIBUTE THEIR DREAM DESCRIPTIONS.]]

[ACTION] Space Bar!

[Looma wasn't exactly a "regular" at the Space Bar just yet- sure, she'd made the cut to work a few shifts every now and again, mostly on an as-needed basis- but with Nami out of commission she still felt obligated to check in every so often. Just to make sure it wasn't on fire / being looted / any combination of the two or some other worst-case scenario. The likelihood wasn't high, but old habits died hard.

This time however, there was someone in particular inside she wanted to speak to.

And because she's as bad at socializing like a normal person and showing no signs of progress, the only heads-up Sam's going to be getting would be the sound of heavy footsteps and the subsequent floor shaking before a massive hand grabs him by the shoulder.]


You. I would have a moment- we have much to discuss.

[Seriously, lots of ground left to cover on how to properly socialize. Though she does add something as an afterthought, for all the good it does.]

You will not be harmed.

So much for butterflies in my stomach being nerves. Let me know if you find anything specific we can do to help besides sending out a warning.

[Merlan's voice is bright as ever but there's definitely apprehension in there. She might just have to buy a knife.]

In the meantime, I can help spread the word. Khadgar and I are going to sightsee since he can teleport.

[aside, to Khadgar]

...how many jumps can you do?

[Good question. Important too.]

I never tested how many I can do, maybe a dozen? At least before I need to rest and replenish my mana. I can try mixing a potion to help though. I'll need to sleep eventually though.

[Action for Khadgar]

[personal profile] darksmokerising 2017-09-09 07:14 am (UTC)(link)
[Merlan hums thoughtfully at his response.]

We can map something out once we get one and hit the most populated places, then find somewhere to crash in the evening. I'm good with mixing if it's something I can help you with. If you're going to do one, might as well do more.

[She gives him a pointed look that says just in case shit goes down and squeezes his arm gently.]

[He lets out a low, quiet growl of frustration. He didn't have the dreams, but ever since approaching the planet, he's been on edge so badly he feels like he needs to do something violent to let the energy out. He's paranoid, he isn't sleeping well, and he's angry about it.

Sam's post just confirms it. There's something wrong with this planet, something terribly wrong.
]

Doubt it's just gonna be a raid if the planet's makin' everyone feel like this. Atroma or no, this entire place feels like the battlefield right before the bloodbath hits.

Give me that "GPS" thing. If people need a blade to protect 'em or the people here, I need to know how to get to them.

Planets that are in danger are good at telling people they know can help. [ But she's not sure what she herself can do for a Planet that isn't her own. ] How many times has this happened?

creeper!!

[Feels like a drunken Shetland pony tapdanced all over her face, Sam. It's a sad state of affairs. Eventually, though, she does wake up properly, eyes cracking open a slit and making a small pained face at her ceiling. Smells like brimstone in here, too--

Oh.]


Issnit rude to be in a lady's room without invitation?

[She's a bit slurred and fuddled, but she sounds amused underneath anyway. Hi, Sam. She hasn't even seen you, but your echoes, as always, are a grand announcement.]

Ezri and I had thought to put a box or something for people to write them down and drop them in anonymously in case someone doesn't want to share on the network.

it was nighttime and started with an earthquake

there was panic everywhere

everything started burning and then the planet seemed to turn into a ball of fire

i could hear crying and had the impression of three words

fire
run
help

[personal profile] hollystrike 2017-09-09 10:21 pm (UTC)(link)
Fine. [Shameless answer, that.] Like I could take on the world. Though I'm rather hoping I don't have to.

[And as her memories foggily align themselves, she blinks, brow creasing, and she wipes her top lip subconsciously, like she's expecting to find blood. But.] Has anything happened? Did people pay attention?

[Please tell her they paid attention. Going through this for nothing would be really upsetting.]

[Well at least once she's got his undivided attention, she's nice enough to unhand him. Definitely a good way to clear up any confusion around the whole I-come-in-peace end of things.]

First, I am curious as to whether you could alter this "GPS" feature you spoke of. It is unlikely I will ever require assistance, but if it could be made to broadcast a warning instead, I could find a use for it.

[If any fighting did break out, it was guaranteed Looma would soon be in the thick of it. At least this way she could warn the less combat-oriented members of the fleet to stay away for their own safety. And to keep out of her way. Everyone wins, really.]

I also wish to know more of the raid that was mentioned. In detail. If there is a chance of another, it is best I know what to expect, so that I might better prepare my crew.

Mm, it is.

[There's a long pause.]

Sam Winchester [her voice is soft but there's a determination to it] there is very little we can't handle working together as a team and we have a whole fleet full of people. No matter what happens out there or on that planet, no matter how dire the situation, we will find the courage to do what we must to save lives and put the problem to rest.

[Her usual good humour shines through.]

Prepare for the worst, hope for the best.
