'Meat' 'n Greet

[cityship]

The rest of the crew assembled on the Observation Deck to meet the latest editions to their numbers. After the revelation that their worlds are gone, many of them are even more eager to see people they knew from home.

Several people are set up near the doors to provide the new people with omnicoms and comm rings. New crew-mates might see a green-skinned alien and snake girl among their number. There are also several authoritative-looking figures ready to introduce themselves.

There's a lot to tell the new people. It's going to be a lot to take in.

[ooc: Only new characters and Command Staff can start new threads for introductions, to limit the number of threads. Everyone else, just tag in and have your guys greet the newbies.]

It was nice to know at least it was possible Jan was alright. He still didn't like the odds though. Then again most of Luke's family made it. "I'm glad to hear they all made it. Especially Mara, I'm sure Ben will be glad to see her too."

"I haven't seen Mara in a long time," Luke said quietly. "I don't know if she's been put back in the pods, or..." He shook his head. "She's somewhere on the ship still. I'd know if anything happened to her. But when she comes back, I bet she'd be glad to see Ben, too."

Or horrified. Mara had had a hard enough time accepting that she'd ended up marrying him, and Luke had no idea how she'd handle actually meeting her son.

"So what's the plan to save those who are left? If this is a war how are we fighting it?" He hoped having a mission or just some planning would keep his mind occupied until he could fully grasp the news he'd just received.

"We've been told that our task will be to go to worlds where the Ohm have influence and somehow stop them from spreading and continuing to destroy universes." Yeah, when it was put that way even Luke realized it sounded weak. "We've got ships and starfighters in the hangar, we have defenses and weaponry provided by Stacy, sometimes our own weapons, too--" he gestured at the lightsaber on his belt "--and the support of the race that built Stacy, the Daligig."

Kyle nodded when Luke mentioned personal weapons. He had his own lightsaber, and blaster on his belt. Thankfully they'd kept those. "So small unit operations then? That puts a point in our favor."

Deep down he had a feeling they were going to need a lot more of an edge than that.

"We still don't know much, about either the Ohm or the Daligig," Luke continued. "Hopefully, we get told more, so we can start to formulate a better idea of what needs to be done and what kind of resources we've got to work with."

"I hope so. Until then I'll just do my best to help out around here." The situation was not looking good. They were safe for the moment that was something. "Do we have somewhere to train? I feel like maybe working out a bit might help me sort all of this out."

"There sure is--the Sensoriums." Luke grinned with more than a hint of boyish glee. "Just wait until you see that thing. There's also the Jedi Temple in the City below, if you'd rather not think up a simulated place, or if the Sensoriums are in use."

[mercjedi.livejournal.com]

"The whole Temple? They took the whole Temple, and didn't bother to steal me some pants too?" He laughed as he asked the question. "You know what I'm just going to stop asking stupid questions now. "Why don't you tell me more about these Sensoriums?"

"Hopefully on our next mission off the ship, we can get you and the others some proper clothes. These plantsuits aren't the most flattering things." Luke flushed, thinking of that time that the A.I. on board this ship had caused a situation where he'd dearly wished for more covering, and absently pulled the front of his cloak a little closer around him.

"These Sensoriums are pretty neat. You can create a program that mimics anywhere you want--Rogue Squadron's been using them for training simulations, and they're useful if you want to make the slop that Stacy gives us for food look like... well, food."

[mercjedi.livejournal.com]

A training simulator now that he had to see. The news about the food however was not as much of a surprise as he would have wanted. "Should have known that the food would be awful. When isn't it? How hard is the Sensorium to program? I've got a couple of ideas for it already."

[restoresbalance.livejournal.com]

"It's not too bad. You pretty much ask for what you want and provide a few details--sometimes you just have to think of things." Luke shrugged; he didn't mind Stacy reading those parts of his mind. "What did you have in mind?"

[mercjedi.livejournal.com]

"Some target practice and some Force training. I don't know how long I've been in that pod, and I want to be sure I'm still sharp." If it could pull things from his mind he might have to see how it did at recreating the Valley of the Jedi. It would be a nice place to meditate and keep his focus. "I'm sure you've probably already made a few along those lines."
