Mission 02 - Stacy Says Follow the Yules

There is a resounding mental alarum that sounds through the ship. Nearly "deafening." Lights flash from places for extra emphasis, making it impossible to ignore.

||Attention, Attention. All personnel please report to the Observation Deck. Attention, Attention. All personnel please report to the Observation Deck. Attention, Attention, all personnel...||

It's entirely likely that she won't stop repeating the announcement until, well, everyone reports to Obs Deck. Outside the windows, a very Earth-like planet is visible, hanging in space. The mouth in the huge statue opens, revealing a screen. On it, the dossier for the mission flickers into display, understandable to every person there. Smaller copies of the dossier appear in holographic form in front of everyone.

The planet's stats, right next to a rotating holographic picture of it, marbled blue and green, are as follows:

Planet Designation: Earth-78734XM45
Status: Terrestrial, H-class.
Non-sentient life: Extensive flora and fauna.
Semi-Sentient Life: Yes.
Sentient Life: Homo Sapiens. [Various translations of "human" appear here so everyone understands it]
Water: 69.5% of the planet's surface.

Climate: Earth-like, in the throes of a mild nuclear winter [Click here for cultural equivalents for non-Earth cultures.]
Landscape: Varied.
Air: Normoxic concentration. Slightly elevated levels of carbon dioxide.

Air Pressure: 101.3 kPa (kilopascals) = 14.7 psi (pounds per square inch)
Sky: Blue. Often overcast.
Sun: A class G2V, yellow star.

Warnings: Wildlife and plant-life can be hazardous. Humans can be hazardous. A human cultural and legal database is available. [click here]

Mission: Revive the spiritual entity at the North Pole.

Following that, there are various maps and things visible. The version of Earth this world is may be very recognizable to some, but vast cities dot its surface.

||Attention, podmates. Attention.||

Apparently Stacy wants their attention.

||It is critical that you pay attention at this time.||

A few people will be able to avoid the call by being in the right place at the right time, but most will be gathered up on Obs Deck.

[ooc: Organization Post | You can post into the gathering thread. I'll add more subthreads with explanations of aspects of the mission as we go. Note: If you don't have time to post to this mission briefing but still want to have your character in the plot, that's fine. You can just pretend they were there the whole time. If you DON'T want your characters to be in this plot altogether, however, don't have them in the briefing--Stacy could have missed snagging them.]

Shadow could help but tease Alessa at the moment. "Aww, you care about me. I'm guessing the Christmas spirit's getting to you, huh?" With that, he burst out laughing. Maybe he meant part of it, but he couldn't help but take a shot at her like that.

Alessa gave him a defiant stare. "If I cared about you in my way, it would have less to do with Christmas spirit and more about pheremones."

Oh, you can tease Shadow? So can the demon girl.

"Christmas spirit, Alessa said in an amused voice. "What these humans won't think of next."

"Well, then, I guess I won't have to give you much for gifts this year...!" Shadow replied, just a tad creeped out over the statement.

He shook his head and continued.

"I guess they need something to believe in when everything else is in the gutter..."

"That was a joke," Alessa said blandly. "I've only seen the demons do it. The idea is a little revolting, with anyone period. Though it was fun to see you a little bothered."

She grinned.

"The human capacity to better their situation through wishes can be stronger than you think," she replied sagely, "though here it looks as if we'll be interfering. Ah well. Feel like breaking things and possibly taking down lots of heavy machinery?"

"Ah... right..." Shadow said, clearing his throat a bit after being told Alessa was joking.

"As for the breaking stuff?" the hedgehog cracked his knuckles. "Anytime."

Heh. Mission accomplished.

"Excellent," Alessa said, eyeing the dossier. "I believe I'll be on the defense team at the North Pole. That should make things interesting. How about you?"
