Newbie Meet n' Greet

[cityship]

For the newbies, there are people waiting for them in the Obs Deck. A whole gaggle of people. Behind them is the nasty statue, and the beautiful sight through the windows of the stars streaming past and the swirling vortex of collars that was interdimensional travel.

There are more questions than answers, but the crew is willing to help, especially the Command Staff and greeters.

"Well, with any luck," Wednesday says, "you might be able to help our team working on getting out of here. You'd have the motivation for it."

"Perhaps such a thing would be possible," Arha said, her eyes narrowing slightly. "It is fruitless to do nothing, after all. Applying what skills one has available, seems to be the best use of the remarkably varied talents there are available."
