The Bunker of Nariba Relia | OPEN PLOT MINGLE POST

Who: Everyone!!
Broadcast: N/A
Action: The bunker in the surrounding desert.
When: Sometime recently, see this post for full information. Below is the excerpt of information listed there. Feel free to make a top comment and thread out the sad truth and whatnot.

[Records buried in the library, the research facility, and cues from the power plant will eventually reveal the bunker in the surrounding desert. The passageway leads several yards underground, and it doesn’t appear to have been used in a long time. Those brave enough to venture inside will find that it is not much more than a tomb. Eerily enough, the emergency lights are still on, casting a soft red glow over sheets and the once-bodies beneath them.

It has been long enough that paper journals, books, and personal belongings (like bags and such) have deteriorated to the point of being extremely fragile. Handled with care, however, they are eager to tell a story.

“The engineers should have been more careful. I’m not sure I’ll be able to recoup my losses from this… At least I have enough money to buy a ride off this planet!”

“No one could have known this would happen. Hopefully it stabilizes so we can go home soon. In the meantime, I’ve been teaching my daughter how to count. She doesn’t understand what’s going on, and I don’t know what to tell her.”

“It’s not getting better. So many people have died that we’re running out of room in the morgue. We had to move all of the food to another room so that the smell doesn’t leach out, but we all know what’s back there.”

“The replicator was supposed to repair us, too.”

“I don’t know if we can go back yet, but it doesn’t matter. Even if the city was back to the way it was, there’s no cure for us. The dead are dead, and we lay down next to them as we wait for our turn.”

There is nothing that can be done for these people except to give them the eternal rest they deserve. Ultimately, the fate of Nariba Relia is a sad one and not altogether preventable.]

Mmm, it's a very broad term. There's a whole bunch of qualifications where I'm from to determine that stuff. It's mostly just a way to brag.

[she can't help but huff, just a little bit]

Their jobs, for one. Though I didn't see any spirits stuck here, so at least one is still doing what they're supposed to.

Stuck spirits is a bad thing, right?

[The whole... crossing over... moving on... whatever thing... that was important, right?]
dreamvour: (i've been waiting so long)

[personal profile] dreamvour 2018-05-15 04:20 am (UTC)(link)
Yes, it is. If they don't find a way to cross over, they can become malevolent, dangerous. They lose what humanity they still have and lose their chance to move on.

Then yeah... that would be bad.

But, you're not getting that here, right? Everyone's moved on.
dreamvour: (and this dream is your story)

[personal profile] dreamvour 2018-05-21 06:29 am (UTC)(link)
As far as I can tell, mm. There's no trace of their spirits here . . . which is good. Hopefully they've all moved on to their next step, whatever that may be.

[Keith nodded.]

That's good then.

[He supposed. He wasn't sure he believed in all that, really, but he'd seen stranger things, he supposed.]

I'm gonna keep looking around a bit more. But... I think we've found all that we can.
dreamvour: (look at me dream)

[personal profile] dreamvour 2018-05-22 05:46 am (UTC)(link)
I think so as well. Though if you do find anything else, please let me know.

[she stands up, finally, dusting off her skirt]
tempredmental: (Soft Smile)

[personal profile] tempredmental 2018-05-23 07:15 pm (UTC)(link)
[Keith nodded.]

Yeah. I will. I'd like to know if you find anything else, too.

Take care.

[And he'd be off!]
