After leaving his omnicom message, he waits for them in one of the Sensoriums of all places, but that will make it easier to answer any questions. Right now, there's a chalkboard up and several things written on it. Things like: BUGS LIKE ME?
OHM WELCOME
DALIGIG TELLING THE TRUTH?
CARGN KNOWS MORE THAN HE'S TELLING | |

It was not uncommon for different people to be torn away from the others thanks to the wonder that is GLaDOS. Happens all the time and it's very infuriating. However, when a good chunk disappears, especially two important people? Yeah, there's a problem. In one of the hallways, part of a wall opened up, the sounds of screaming echoed out as six figures spilled out. Two of them, Superman and the hedgehog known as Shadow, were carrying two others in their arms - Irma and Lowe with Superman and Sasami and Vivio with Shadow. Coming to a stop, the two men set the others down... and raced back to the wall. "You're not getting away with this!" Shadow shouted as they raced to the wall, only to stop as the wall sealed up. "RRRGH! Dammit!" "Blast..." Superman grunted, pounding the wall. There were others in there - there had to be. Others they could have pulled out. Turning around, he looked at the other four. "Is everyone alright?" "Fine... though, now I see why everyone HATES that thing!" Irma said, rubbing her neck as she stood up straight. "Everyone must be worried about us..." Vivio said, looking around. "I'm sure they are, but don't worry - once they know we're alright, it'll be fine!" Lowe said. "...hope we didn't miss the elections!" Sasami said. "Don't want to find out we missed it because of that... thing!" "Don't worry, I doubt we have." Superman said. With that, he turned to his omnicomm and began putting out a message. At least they'll know they're okay now. (OoC: Go ahead, mingle. Be glad everyone's okay! /o/) | |

Kira was thoroughly exhausted from the week's training with the Rogues, but rather than going to his quarters to hop into bed, he almost always went down to the hangar where his Strike Freedom stood, armor inert.
The young pilot stood there for a long while, looking up at the mobile suit in contemplation. They'd been hard at work tuning them up so that they'd be able to fight on the same level as their X-Wing counterparts and soon would be physically overhauling them to increase their output. This was what they'd have to rely on for their survival... for their strength.
He was rather lost in thought, which probably made for a perfect opportunity for someone to come along and snap him out of it. | |

Reinforce, once you cut through the impressive details of her magitechnological structure, the fact of her multiple and currently separated bodies, and the pronounced sense of mind/body dualism that was experienced by a person whose mind and body had been designed with far more distinct structures and intents than any biological life, basically self-identified as a book. For all the momentous events of her last subjective year, she had spent the decade preceding it in book form, wedged on a shelf between a six-volume set of Japanese-language encyclopedias and a collection of poorly-written but nonetheless well-worn romance and fantasy novels, and it had been for her a natural and appropriate place to be.
Small wonder, then, that she liked libraries. They were the gathering-place for those like her, with the purpose of gathering and propogating information. The media library did not have the traditional form she and her creators had preferred, and so was not as comforting to her as some of the older-fashioned libraries that could be found in the city, but the ideal endured the advances of technology, just as it had in her.
Before she'd come here to search for her other body, the literal Book, then for recorded stories to bring to the Bus to influence its rooms. Today she'd just to read... and show off some of her sister's clothing; the little device had requested she wear some of her work around the ship. Of course, to enjoy the media library she had to force herself to slow down and use the visual UIs. Just absorbing text had a gluttonous quality to it. | |

A russet-furred dog was wondering around, doing what dogs do: sniffing things, bounding up to people and trying to play fetch, barking at anything that moves. Just your average, normal dog stuff. Mostly the dog hung around the city, but he also wondered around the corridors and the rest of the ship.
But actually? The dog wasn't really a dog. It was Marco, morphed into an Irish Setter. And, while Marco did find the idea of wondering around and bothering people in dog-morph highly amusing, that was not the only reason he was in this morph. No, the real reason was because as far as Iniss knew now, Jake had a dog. And it was very, very useful to be able to hang around in dog morph whenever they had to deal with Tom and the Yeerk. If Marco wanted to keep the act going? The dog couldn't just show up whenever Jake met with Tom. It'd have to look like there was a real dog that belonged to Jake hanging around. So, 'Cinnabon' needed to make some appearances.
The fact that Marco could have some fun at the same time was just a bonus.
[[ooc: if you'd like threads to happen in a particular place, just let me know where in the subject? Otherwise, I'll probably assume it's a random corridor or something.]] | |

Miku was sleeping, quite deeply. She probably had Cargn to thank for that, but she didn't mind. However, where she was sleeping, someone else would probably have had issue. Not that Miku cared. She turned over in her sleep, sighed deeply and hiccuped once. Who knew the floor of the quarantine room was so comfortable? | |
|
Bedrest in the Medbay wasn't that bad. It wouldn't be for long, after all. But it was a little boring, and Hiccup spent most of his time talking to Astrid, who had taken to hovering periodically, or reading messages on his omnicom, or reading books on his omnicom.
Mostly, he slept, because he was in dire need of it.
One his leg was finished healed up around the new dock, he'd get his automail attached to the dock for the first time, and then have to worry about the rehab.
For now, though, he certainly didn't mind visitors, whether they were were his friends on ship or new people just wandering through.

The last thing she'd expected was to see him show up. Katara had been expecting a meeting with Sokka and Zuko and Toph and maybe Mai. She hadn't expected to see Aang, to have all of her family back again all in one swoop, and seeing him had made everything she'd been fearing take a quiet step back. It had taken all the strength she could muster to not hug him, and hold him close then and there, not when the Ohm had shown up and Aang had a job to do. THOSE memories came flooding back and she realized that Aang would always be looking out for the crew, much like she worried about them. So she trained quietly, remembering the intensity of the Ohm in every movement: the acid spit, the massive height, the sheer force behind the. These were the the things she needed to keep in mind, and because of that she concentrated, keeping all she'd been learning in her mind: Kang and Ronan's instruction, the teaching of Nanashi's sword fighting, the steady, deadly skill of the Bene Gesserit. For that reason Katara had come to the Sensorium, calming her mind. she had to remember that night without prejudice, keeping in mind the things she saw then. Always came that question of killing, of losing oneself to the feelings of anger that came when seeing what the Ohm could do: the decision of the Yeerk incident came in full vengeance, more so now that she knew there were Yeerk on the ship now. But she knew that those feelings were something to be dealt with, a trap that made people vicious, angry, fill with thoughts of retaliation.
Not that those feelings were lost on Katara, but she knew the path they led to. Rage always came with a price, and from what she'd seen, some people paid with their former selves. Darth Vader, for instance, was a vicious, cruel man not unlike the firelord, but his son was Luke, one of the wisest people she'd met on the ship, and his way of learning had made Arha want to learn about his path. Things like that made her wonder if maybe Arha had conflict about the sisterhood, if the way of the Jedi was somehow more peaceable, more matching to the type of person Arha was.
Which was the eternal crux of the ship: there were so many ways of learning, of knowing, of doubting what they knew. Katara had come to a grassy spot here, a homage to the world they had visited not too long ago. A breeze moved over her skin, calming her. She whispered into the wind, calling the name of the one she missed. She knew it fell on deaf ears.
But she hoped he would come anyway. | |
