Meet N' Greet

||All crew-mates. Please report to the Obs Deck to meet your new crew-mates.||

It's time for all the newbies to get a chance to have a formal meeting with the crew. Given the confusion of their arrival, that's probably a good thing.

Word gets out among the crew mates, spreading in a game of whisper down the meat-alley, that an informal crew meeting is what's happening, free from Stacy's prying ears, and sure enough, as soon as everyone's in the room, they're gestured to move in close, and a wall of blue energy goes up around them all.

"We've thought of it, we're just locked out and haven't thought of a way to reach it yet." He nods. "That's going to be one of the first priorities."

Cassie listens, but a little more information is in order.

"What have you already tried, besides that? Has anyone tried anything?"

"If we're listening to instead of slandering the Time Lords now, I've a TARDIS. She ought to be aboard somewhere. Easy ticket out, once we find her."

"I share these sentiments, naturally, though there's something we have to consider," yes, he's wandered over here too, "Supposing we're in an alternate dimension to our own? It's a statistical inevitability. You know the TARDIS can't function without the Eye."

He waves a hand, "In any case, I'm assuming this wagon has GPS. We find the bridge, we find the TARDIS. A direct connection into Stacy's master-brain would provide us with any other answers we require, I'd recommend we look into that also."

"First we need to open up more of the ship by opening the the doors," Jaime says, where he's standing there projecting his blue field around them all. "Which I've found. They're sort of protected by this forcefield. Now I heard Yeerked Robin used something to zap Brainy's forcefield--I overheard Brainy talking in Med Bay--I think we can get around that by using the thingy Robin used to mess with Brainy's forcefield with some adjustments, which then makes the wall punch-through-able. And I mean, we have three Kryptonians, me, and a few other people, so we're not lacking in the superstrength. We'd have to spread it out amongst people to make sure no one person racks up a ton of Violations."

He holds up a finger with his free hand.

"Alternative option, if that fails--there has to be some kinda ventilation system. We find an open access point or make one, sent a mechanical drone to test for safety, and if the ducts are big enough, and it's safe, we send someone small and ninja-ey through to manually find a door access on the other side."

He goes on, "Now from there, there's got to be a bridge or some sort of centralized access point to Stacy's inner workings. An engine core--something hooked up to her main brain. We can steal a page from the Yeerks' book, and use what we've scrapped of their tech to hook up an interface to her nerves, and the scarab and any other computer nerds try to crack her brain from there. Even if we can't take complete control of her we could maybe find a sleep of podsleep people and wake someone from podsleep that could help us or find out where the Doctor's TARDIS is."

"Another alternative option--we use our methods of breaking through to new sections of the ship to find the TARDIS manually, or bust into the bridge, and take control of the ship from there. By force."

"I did prepare for these sorts of circumstances back home." Allen pipes up. "Unfortunately, my preparations didn't involve other people from possibly infinite versions of multiple planets. If I had enough time and material to build a dimensional gateway corresponding to the one in my basement without Stacy finding out about it first and giving me the violation of my life -" Allen pauses to wince - "That would still leave everyone not from my version of earth hanging. There IS a bizarre portal to every universe in the multiverse in my kitchen, but I didn't build that one, so I don't trust it yet. And I don't think it covers in-universe planets."

"And that's not even considering the notion that we could have been in biostasis for years. Intellectually, I don't want to put the cap on centuries worth of time, meaning we might not even at this time have homes to go back to. Between the nerd herd Stacy's assembled, we COULD build a space-machine that incorporates time travel, but that would still require Stacy not to know about it for long enough for us to do the actual building. So I agree - TARDIS, or hacking Stacy to the point where we can work ourselves out without her interference."

"As far as ventilation goes, how about you put that Zuko guy on that? He's been crawling around Stacy's nostrils for like two weeks now."

"Hey!"

It isn't technically insulting, but it sounded kind of like it was.

The Chief watches as Jaime talks, casting a quick sidelong glance at Cybil that pretty much says "Well, look what we have here."

"I'm not sure what a TARDIS is, someone please elaborate. Other than that, if it can help us get out of here I'm all for it. It would be great if we could find my armor, too, I'm much more effective with it and for all we know it could be locked up with this TARDIS and the rest of our missing gear. If I had it, we might be able to break Cortana free from the AI multiplex so Stacy wouldn't be able to read her mind."

And the other subject at hand. Vents. The Chief, like most Spartans, is far too big to be a good tunnel rat.

"Chances of getting lost in the vents are high. How've you been navigating, Zuko?"

[identity profile] oopshitrefresh.livejournal.com 2009-04-06 04:50 pm (UTC)(link)
"TARDIS," the Doctor explains; "Time and Relative Dimensions in Space ship. Clever, I know, wish I could take credit. Can't."

He took a deep breath, because he never, ever liked saying what was about to come out of his mouth. "Master's right, though. If we're in the wrong universe, there might be difficulties. We'd have to find a rift, a big, gaping hole between 'em, or make our own. Assuming Stacy's not leaving them in her wake like a big spike through a pile of receipts."

"But assuming one of those were arranged, and let's face it, we are two semi-immortal geniuses who don't sleep much and a really awesome time ship," yes, he was including the TARDIS on the team and leaving Brainy out, "it wouldn't take that long for us to figure out how to get everyone home. Dangerous, messy, might implode or explode something, not at all energy-efficient, but ultimately possible in a way that will probably break most of the rules."

He flashed a quick, perky smile. "It'll be like school all over again."

Zuko pats the twine, still on its dispenser, which he has tied to the strap of his sheath.

"It's long enough that I haven't run out yet. I'm borrowing it from Brainy."

He glances sidelong at the Doctor before going on. "I'm not interested in exploding." Rule-breaking's alright, though.

"And I have one more question. When you figure a way out - what are all of you going to do about the people on the ship who aren't here? The ones who are sleeping, or hidden?"

"Before anyone asks, I can't get past the shields by phasing through them. Tried it, bounced off them, and got smacked with a tentacle for trying."

[identity profile] potentialmonkey.livejournal.com 2009-04-06 11:41 pm (UTC)(link)
"If you guys need another vent crawler, Rufus can do it. I mean, there's gotta be some places in there where the space gets too small for Zuko to go further."

"Yepyep!"

[identity profile] el-escarabajo.livejournal.com 2009-04-06 11:49 pm (UTC)(link)
"Phase-shielding. Good to know."

Jaime looks thoughtful. "So our priorities are opening up more of the ship, getting to the bridge, finding an access point to Stacy's nerves, and finding the TARDIS, whichever we can pull off first, since it's a ship that can get us off this ship. Zuko, if you have been crawling around in Stacy's ducts, we might need you to do more of it. Robin's another prospect, too--both of you maybe ought to go together if we find a good path, since you're both fight-capable, but we really ought to send some kind of drone first. For all we know, there's some laser zappy system that will fry you if you go somewhere you're not supposed to. We should also have a doctor or two standing by whenever we explore. All we need is someone breaking up some duct and getting a faceful of Stacy's digestive acid or something, without a doctor nearby."

He goes on, "The idea here should maybe be Unmanned probe to very small crew member like Rufus or maybe a morphed Ax, since smaller might mean less chance of activating any sort of security thingy, to people who are agile and can also defend themselves if there's something bad on the other side."

To answer Zuko's question: "As for the others, we send them home, too. We make sure there's no one else trapped on the ship in other areas. Even if everyone else wants to leave, I'll at least stay until everyone's sent where they belong. If we manage to get control of Stacy, the scarab and I can probably run stuff to get them all out and home."

He lifts his chin. "No one gets left behind."

Cybil gives Chief the same look back that he gave her earlier, after Jaime had spoken the first time.

"It's good you feel that way, Reyes, because you're the one I wanted to head the team."

[identity profile] ihatefire.livejournal.com 2009-04-06 11:54 pm (UTC)(link)
"You've obviously put a lot of thought into this."

[identity profile] el-escarabajo.livejournal.com 2009-04-06 11:55 pm (UTC)(link)
"Yeah, but it's a super-big responsibility. It's like our biggest responsibility. I guess I'm just surprised you're picking a teenager instead of an army guy or--or Superman, or something. I don't know."

"I was curious about Violations, and asked Stacy how many crew members had them the other day. Apparently, she considers that public information. There's a couple here that have some for fighting, some for attempted trespassing and hacking--" She glances at Zuko, Allen, Danny, and a few others. "But she said that of all the members of the crew, you have the most at eight Violations. Only seven left until this Punishment thing that none of us want to find out about. And all of them were attempts at trespassing and hacking."

She smiles a small smile.

"You've been busy. While the rest of us have been infested by brain parasites, or distracted by what's going on around us--" Or tied up in some kind of drama or another. "--you haven't stopped trying to find a way to get us home. Not even for a second. I think that's what we need in the person in charge of the team responsible for doing just that."

"I have five," says Allen, proudly. "Am I one of the cool kids yet?"

Mai quirks a brow, raising a finger, "You know, normally I wouldn't bother, but I do want to get home. So, count me in for whatever you need me to do. I can run, jump, pretty athletic. Can hit small objects with knives."

[identity profile] el-escarabajo.livejournal.com 2009-04-07 09:15 am (UTC)(link)
"Okay, well, I guess we have our scouts."

He had Ax, Ron's rat...thing, Robin, Mai, and Zuko in mind.

"Alright. Okay, look. I know I'm a new guy and a villain and all that, but I want to be here about as much as the rest of you do so count me in." Jack's nerve, it seems, has recovered from being reprimanded by the Chief.

"I can build drones, but what I can do really depends on what I have to work with." It doesn't occur to him to enlist any of the other techies for help, Jack isn't used to having anyone competent to ask when it comes to robotics and is proud of doing his work alone besides.

"Yay. What did I just volunteer myself for?"

Mai sighs, picking at her creepy plant-suit, "...and while we're here, can I get normal clothes anywhere on this stupid ship?"

Jean had remained quiet through the majority of the meeting, preferring to just listen and get a feel for the general atmosphere of the crew. Most seemed intelligent, some seemed to rely a bit too much on their brawn - all in all which reminded her of her friends and team mates, Scott, Logan, the Professor...

Shaking her head, she pushed the thoughts of her friends and loved ones from her mind and instead focused on the current conversation.

She cleared her throat. "I'm a Doctor," she offered. "I wouldn't mind helping out with the medlab."

[identity profile] deputyjo.livejournal.com 2009-04-07 08:24 pm (UTC)(link)
Jo squirmed slightly, her brow furrowing as she listened to everyone giving their opinions and blah blah blah. Everyone seemed to have one, and yet... Were they really making a lot of progress here?

Didn't seem like it.

She finally raised her hand after the redheaded lady had spoken, figuring it was a good time to toss in what she was good at. "I'm good with guns, explosives... Weapons in general. Oh, and not that it really matters here - but I'm pretty good at kicking butt too..."

She looked over at Sawyer, a smirk beginning to form. "Just ask him, he got first hand experience..."
