Who: The Interceptor Fleet representatives and any Drift Fleet members who wish to attend
Broadcast: NO. **ALL communicators must be left outside of the meeting place!!**
Action: At the specified meeting point - a clearing in the forest
When: Tonight

[ Before We Begin... ]
[ There's still some time before everything is set to start. The representatives for The Interceptors are already here, of course - you can talk freely to Dr. Mrs. The Monarch, Kid ("Angel"), or Duo Maxwell, if you choose. Answers to any questions you have might get put on hold until during or after the meeting... unless you just want to know more about them and their fleet, personally. That's up to their own discretion~ ]

[ The Game Plan ]
[ Right on time - not even a second after - Dr. Mrs. The Monarch moves to the center to begin. ]

All right. We've got a lot to talk about. So let's get started with what's most important: we've got a way into the Marsiva, and we're gonna take it.

When Duo and I got stuck in there for those damn Calibrations, he set up some explosives to help us get out of there - which wouldn't have worked on its own, but he managed to hit something pretty damn important: the reparative generators. They're still online, but as you probably noticed from the looks of the ship right now, they're not doing so hot. And that's perfect for us. Honestly, if we can locate those and hit 'em again, that'd be all the better for us, wouldn't you think?

The Marsiva's shields... those used to be a huge problem, but apparently our designated Interceptor fleet stowaway got 'em down after you guys helped him get a lock on our location in there - which, thank you for all that, by the way. You guys know who you are. Calibrations could've been... a lot worse otherwise. Anyway, Zhade's pretty damn sure he can do it again. Just needs some time, some backup firepower, and the perfect opening.

That's where you guys are gonna come in. Not sure how long you guys are staying in this system - it's usually about an Earth month or so, right? - but use that time to upgrade your ships, especially the weapons. Probably the shields, too. I don't know, depends on how you wanna run things. Hell, arm yourselves too, 'cause we'll be boarding that thing and taking down who or whatever's in our way. [ A pause. ] Maybe we'll run into your lovely show hosts. Wouldn't that be fun.

I don't know exactly who or what we'll run into in there, but we've got enough intel that we can make an educated guess: it won't be human. Probably won't even be humanoid, unless it sends some kind of worker robots at us. Does it even have those? I don't know. I can't predict what's gonna happen, so be ready for just about anything. Whatever's in there, we've gotta deal with it if we're gonna have any chance of freeing ourselves for good, especially if we wanna get home.

And... As for getting home... I have some ideas. And theories. And honestly, I bet I can get it to work out in everyone's favor if I can just get at whatever makes the whole pulling-people-from-other-worlds thing happen. We've found a lot of hints and some really valuable tools, but I can't make a one hundred percent fully formed plan until I know exactly what I'm working with. So once we get inside, that's what I'm gonna be looking for. And if any of you are weird-alien-technology-magic-inclined, well, I could probably use some extra pairs of hands once we find whatever it is to work with. But trust me, I'll get it to work. ... I've got a husband to get back to. And I know a lot of you feel the same way.

So, that's the overview. In short? Hit the Marsiva to get its attention. Zhade drops the shields. Hit the Marsiva even harder, aiming for the reparative generators. Board it. Find Atroma - whatever they are - and make 'em pay. Get to the bottom of what's brought us and is keeping us here. Figure it out, save the day, everybody wins. Sound good?

[ Feel free to interject at any point with questions, ideas, requests for specifics/clarification, random commentary... anything at all. This is a meeting, not a presentation - they want to hear from you too! ]

[ Q&A Time ]
Okay, I know that was a lot. Anyone got anything to say about it? Need me to go over something again? Or if you guys have any of your own ideas, we'll take 'em. We're gonna need every possible angle and advantage to pull this off, you know.

[ The floor's open. Anything you want to ask? Anything you want to say?

After it's over and the meeting is adjourned, the Interceptors won't want to linger for very long, but they will hang out long enough to talk for a short while. Got something that deserves a more one-on-one conversation? Now's the time to do it. ]

Who: Loki + You
Broadcast: Video
Action: Planetside
When: Right here, right now

[ the feed turns on, though it seems to start with a burst of static and a blurry screen before it finally seems to straighten itself out. though the scene you might be seeing seems a little . . . hard to take in. mostly because it looks like everything has been frozen. plants, grass and giant dinosaurs like T-Rexs that were in mid-lunge to bite on . . . a huddled lump who has a quilt over their head and cocooned deep within the covers. And also happens to be sneezing a lot. ]

This — [ loki sneezes, looking pale, harried and a little . . . blue. ] — Is the worst. Why is everything so — [ another loud sneeze. ] — uncomfortable?! And how do you make it stop?!

stillgotmyleftarm

Who: Bucky!Cap Barnes
Broadcast: Private to Natasha Romanoff
Action: Bishop, planetside on Lyndia
When: Shortly after the last shuffle (for video & Bishop), anytime during their stopover in the Bix system

[Video: Private to Natasha Romanoff]
Hey, so when's a good time for a fight and a drink?

[Action: Bishop]
[Bucky's new on the Bishop, but it's not like he's never been here before. Anyone who's been here for a week or two might have seen him coming and going from Steve Rogers' room. In fact, now that he's on board, that appears to be where he's headed now, with an armful of clothes and a strange, circular red, white, and blue shield tucked under one arm.

Actually, since his hands are full, he very politely(?) kicks at the hatch to Steve's cabin once he gets there.

Later, he can be found walking the ship, familiarizing himself with the bridge, bathroom, and kitchen - where he's also digging for the coffee grounds and means to make it into actual coffee, because that's really important. Seriously. Coffee is magic.]

[Action: Planetside]
[Bucky also takes the opportunity to stretch his legs on Lyndia. In fact, he takes the opportunity to spend some time outside, because no matter how much the natives of this world warn him, it seems fine to him. Not even a sniffle. So he ends up earning some extra cash, running errands and ferrying supplies from the surface, including hacking away at vines, gutting old wooden buildings, and maybe even seeing if he can't track down said reptilian beast.

Bucky spends his significant earnings largely on food and clothing, because a) he wants to eat things that are not gel and b) he wants to wear things that are not jumpsuits. He is also willing to share the riches with friends, should they run into him.]

When: 4/19

A;; Fleetwide Broadcast

[ The first thing that happens is the audio clicking on, the sound of a communicator topping off a surface, quickly followed by a low string of Russian curses. A short moment passes before the communicator is picked back up and switches to video. A very familiar face shows up, especially since there are already two of him present, and he looks pissed. At least it's at his circumstances and not anyone in particular? ]

Can't a guy just tend some goats in goddamn peace? Guess the saying's right- no rest for the wicked.

[ He clears his throat, glancing at his surroundings. ] I need some things cleared up, starting with the most important-- Who the hell's got my ship? Second, how long was I fucking gone, and where the fuck are we?

B;; Iskaulit

[ It’s been a few days since he’s joined the ranks of the Huntress, though admittedly, he won’t be there long. Still, it’s hard being cooped up on an unfamiliar ship and inevitably heads toward the Iskaulit. He can be found in various places easily enough. The gym at various parts of the day, though mostly in the very early or very late hours, the mural during the afternoon, or the space bar having a drink. It’s two in the afternoon? What of it??? Or whenever! ]

If you could have any name, would you keep your own or pick something new?

action
[ If you're looking for this former star-spangled menace, he can generally be found one of two places. On the Heron, attending to his ship responsibilities, or on the Iskaulit, tentatively settling in with newer responsibilities. He can often be found in the gym, preferably at odd hours, and it's not inconceivable he might wander into the art therapy room to see what it's all about. ]

theladyofwinterfell

Who: Sansa Stark
Broadcast: Fleet-wide
Action: Starduck
When: during the Drift

( Sansa hadn't been aware of fanmail until recently and while she's aware that the Atroma watch them and they have ratings, it is something in the back of her mind most of the time. The idea that those who watch them would send them letters is a bit intriguing and she goes to pick hers up, wondering if she can get insight into those who have them held hostage and see what they'd like more of and, possibly of more importance, what it will take for them to let her go.

She's actually quite surprised to see a thick bundle of fanmail for her and she decides she'll open it in a video; how better to cultivate more ratings than to open these letters and see what things have been said about her? She can see rolled up drawings, too, and she wonders if there are any of Lady or Tyrion. Those would be wonderful to keep. What she finds takes her breath away. The first drawing she unfurls is of Lady, her piercing eyes at the forefront. It's beautiful. Sansa unfurls another, eager, and instantly regrets her decision to broadcast this.

It's she and Bucky in the gym, only neither of them are clothed and she's sprawled atop him so she's more exposed than he is. Another drawing is similarly lewd, only it's she and Tyrion in a bath. There's one with a woman she doesn't know. There's written letters and she reads one, ripping it in half when it describes things she's not even done in bed with Tyrion, much less Wanda. She addresses the camera, face white and hand trembling. )

Please, I beg you, if you get fanmail and it mentions me do not read it. Everything...the Atroma have painted me as some sort of whore who...I've not done any of these things!

[ the feed splutters before turning on. loki is surrounded by a whole bunch of boxes. boxes as far as the eye can see. loki has started opening them while the speakers blast this song loud and clear. loki, for his part merely huffs. ]

It seems I have spent a total of a year in this place and the, ah, viewers wish to celebrate. However most of this is useless to me, so I welcome anyone else taking them into their hands.

[ which, ngl, he's into. but the gifts loki has are just . . . baffling. he holds each one up to the camera. we have the mighty thor scooter, captain chickmerica, loki on hotwheels, a masterpiece, plastic horns, disturbing panties and something for "sophisticated men" ]

Please feel free to come by to the First Breath to pick them up.

Also, this has reminded me. Since we are essentially living by this . . . awkward mortal calendar, I have decided I want a birthday. You lot should help me pick one.

[ and get him presents. this is essentially a ploy for presents. ]

Who: Mikumo Guynemer and you! (Yes, even you!)
Broadcast: Oh yes
Action: Red Fish
When: 3/9

Action the Red Fish

[Finding herself on a strange ship would probably worry Mikumo, but... she's not really that kind of girl. Her life is just not normal. Besides, she has a feeling that she knows where she is. Sort of.

It's not either of the ships she was on the first time she was here, nor is it the big ship she spent a few days on before being moved. It's new, but the confetti and the faux-pudding cups are a clue. The idol just shakes her hair free of the brightly colored paper and starts to look around the ship.]

Hm, it looks as if someone let Messer decorate the walls. How interesting.

[As she walks down the halls, she trails a hand down the walls. Nothing comes away, but that doesn't mean she isn't a bit surprised.

She stops at a mess of paper that looks as if it is telling some secret to the many little dials around the ship and points when she sees one that leads to the residences.]

My, my. This would make visiting others so much easier.

Video

[Mikumo eventually ends up in her private room on the ship, the Red Fish and she pulls out her communicator. She waggles her fingers playfully before blowing a kiss at the screen.]

Well, hello, people of the Fleet. It's so lovely to be back here. Tell me, have I missed any venues? I see about this memory sharing thing that's happened again, but I suppose it's a good thing I missed that. I don't have many to share with you.

action

[Appearing on the bridge in a shower of confetti with some chocolate pudding in her hand was a bit... odd. And very startling. She hadn't had much time on the Marsiva to come to terms with her new situation before she was suddenly here. Be prepared for a small freak out, Red Fish.

Later, she could be found exploring the ship and familiarizing herself with everything she needed to know, including that new Personnel office that apparently was hers?

Welp. How was that supposed to work?]

video

Oh... it's on. Hi! I'm Minako Aino, and I'm apparently the new personnel officer on the Red Fish? [She paused, staring at the small device for a moment, muttering a little quietly.] I don't fully know what that means... [And then she looked surprised suddenly as she realized that she hadn't sent this to just the Red Fish crew.]

Oh! Oops. [She laughed nervously.] I meant to just send this to my own crew, but it looks like I sent it to everyone. Sorry about that!

[And she was gone again... Did she disconnect on purpose or by accident?!]

Who: Steve Rogers (AU) + Open
Broadcast: N/A
Action: On the Marsiva; Around the SS Heron
When: February 26-28; March 2, post Shuffle

[ The Marsiva ]

[ This is not the Steve Rogers you are looking for. Unsettled, in completely unfamiliar surroundings, he spends much of his time lurking in whatever corner he can find, listening in on snippets of conversations that don't involve him simply to try and figure out what happened. Where he is. He wanders what limited space there is, exploring the confines of this strange vessel, making a mental map of where things are.

He does not voluntarily initiate conversation with anyone the first day, only taking care to note where the washroom is, where the recreational areas are, where he can find food. It's not until the second day, with the same faces and same smells and the same sense of solidity that Steve lets himself believe, just a little, that this might not be a HYDRA plot. That he hasn't been captured and dragged back to Siberia for reconditioning. That this isn't a complete mindscrew. Possibly. Hopefully.

Maybe it's shortly after that potential revelation that Steve starts looking for somewhere he can get a drink. ]

[ SS Heron ]

[ And then he wakes up on a strange ship for the second time. Because nobody seems to know what moderation means. Can't a guy be kidnapped in peace? Can't he have more than a few days to get aquainted with the idea of extraterrestrials and game shows and how GOD DAMN BIG space really is? No? Well, fine then.

The confetti burst outside his door is just adding insult to injury.

Pudding isn't the worst thing he's ever eaten, though. And he can't taste anything really off about it. (Like mind-altering or sleep-inducing drugs). That's a plus. So the next logical thing to do is explore this ship. You know, in case he has to break out of it in a hurry. For reasons involving intergalactic kidnapping. And other things. ]

tallasaking

Right, I don't expect anyone to remember this - or remember anything about this because I have written to myself several times 'No one remembers!' and I have underlined this twice, so clearly this has happened for several days. No one will remember this either, but I will put this here for myself, and my journal notes.

There is something different with the tubes. When I open the Marvisa up, there is something different with the tubes. Some are a blue-green in color, and others are now ... black. They were not black last year, and now, I have no idea why they are.

[He exhaled, rubbing his bearded face.] I have no idea how we are getting answers from this, and I know I am writing this all down again.
