'Meat' 'n Greet

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.]

Xander stopped down, ready to do his welcoming duties, and then frowned at the familiar face among the newest to wake up.

"Oh no, no, Stacy just had to save your undead butt too?"

Spike raised his eyebrow and smirked. "Takes more than sidekicks to save the universe. Guess she wanted a real Champion to take up the cause."

"We already got Buffy on board, and look, yeah great, you helped us in the end. But none of that matters now."

Spike gave him an annoyed look. "Of course it matters."

Xander frowned, and then added, gesturing around, "Uh, Spike? In case you missed Stacy's little mental text? We're it. There might be more still sleeping in the pods, but all those saving the world moments? Yeah, the Ohm cancelled the whole shebang."

"So what? I gave the world a few more months between apocalypses, and I don't believe it's really gone." He crossed his arms and scowled at Xander. "I'd have noticed."

Xander shook his head, Spike was never one of his favorite people. Just the opposite in fact. The whole insanity with Buffy, and that brief table mambo with Anya never endeared the souled vampire to him. But right now, sadly, he was one of his few links back to his home planet now.

"That's because Stacy took our memories of getting beamed up. We can ask for them back if we want them. She also said something about trying to get the timing of it of when she was going through to grab us, because the Ohm were going back to the future so quick with destroying it all. So need to check on timeline stuff because she might not have grabbed us all at the same time. She said if we kick their butts, there might be a way to get it back."

Spike took a drag from his cigarette as he let it sink in. "Right. Guess we kick their asses, then. And I want my memories back."

"Go ahead, I've seen enough around here to think they're right." Xander had been through a lot since waking up. Giant bugs (AGAIN), Yeerks, Zombies, Nightmares. It made some of the stuff on the Hellmouth just look like practice.

Giles located Xander a bit after the conversation with Buffy and Spike. The young man was obviously from at or after the time he'd been pulled from, given the eye patch he wore.

"Hello, Xander. It's good to see you." he said. "Buffy told me you were here, and she explained as much as she could to me of our situation at present."

Xander's eye widened at that, and he started to smile, "Giles! Oh great, you're awake too, man we so could have used your research know-how during the nightmare mess. But hey, it's all good, we're all good."

Giles wasn't yet aware of the nightmare plot in its entirety, although he was gathering bits and pieces here and there. He made a mental note to speak to Xander, Buffy, or both about it more in depth when there was time.

"Yes, yes, all good." he replied. "Although I do hope the rest of us are indeed in those sacs, if it's true that our world has been destroyed."

"I was around for the mini powwow with the Dalgig ship, and between that, and everything I've seen since waking up? Along with whoever else is still sleeping, we're the whole enchilada." He really hoped Willow, and Dawn were still resting. Sure even Andrew. Hopefully the other Slayers like Faith, Vi, and so many from the headquarters. But he knew likely many didn't make it.

"It's rather a strange feeling, knowing there's a good chance that everything we know is now gone. That we'll quite possibly never go back." said Giles. Sure, so much was terrible and evil about the world, but there were so many good things as well, things he would miss. "At least, though, we aren't alone, and hopefully the others will join us soon."

Giles knew that it was most important to have friends and family, they were what couldn't be replaced. These young people might not be his blood kin, but they were as much a family as if they were. All right, Spike wasn't, but that was rather beside the point. He just hoped the blond vampire didn't annoy him into wanting to dust him before it was all said and done.
