Who: EVERYBODY
Broadcast: Maybe
Action: Lone Breaker System
When: The fleet will be in this system from 3/10 to 4/14

Welcome to the Lone Breaker System. The planet consists of a single ghost town that replenishes its stock daily, and a desert that does not. There are quite a few points of interest, no consequences, and a mystery to be investigated!

Oh. Tyrion is the Captain of that ship. He's pretty cool.

"Cool"?

Oh. Um.. He's a good guy and he helps keep the fleet informed and thinking about things.

[ Thinking about things. Loki isn't sure if he's meant to be impressed because he certainly isn't. ]

We shall see how "cool" he is when we meet.

I guess so?

[ And if Loki finds him lacking, well . . . he can rectify that problem. ]

I doubt captains are truly required here.

Not really, but they help the fleet stay organized even if there's not really need for the rank? It's always good to have leaders.

And what kind of "leading" do they do?

I guess it depends on the Captain. They at least look out for their crew.

[ Sounds fake. ]

Do they now.

What would the point be if they didn't?

I assume there is little point to be found anywhere. Especially since the Atroma is in control.

If we're stuck in a situation, why not go with it, you know? It might be bullshit, but why not do something with it instead of lamenting the lack of control?

And what is it we're doing, precisely?

Enduring.

[ Enduring, huh? Loki isn't sure of that yet. ]

We are enduring quite peaceably.

Oh. I meant in general, not just here. Here, I guess we're getting the lay of the land?

Something doesn't feel right about this place. Most things end up being pretty shitty, but some places are better than others.

[ Loki shrugs. ]

I suppose. I'm not in a position to be choosy. My home world was destroyed not long ago.

That's terrible, I'm sorry. Do you have any other place to go?

[ Or is everybody just dead? Both is terrible to think about, but if he has options, then they can always rebuild. Home is the people, not the place. ]

Currently, we do not. Thor is taking us to Earth though.

[ Which Loki still has reservations about. There are Infinity Stones there and he'd rather be far far away. ]

Earth isn't so bad for the most part, at least. Do you have some place you'd rather be?

[ He grimaces. ]

Unfortunately, no. There isn't a place like that for me.

What if you made this place yours? For the time being, anyway. I know it's not really ideal, and it's not home.

[ He snorts delicately. ]

What could be made of this place?

Honestly? You could probably make the fleet anything you wanted of it. It's a lot of things to different people. Maybe it's not the best, but I've been worse places.
