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. They are also told they must read information about their current situation and a survival guide with their new omnicom. New crew-mates might see a tall dragonish guy with wings (but don't call him that) and purple 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.]

"They're transformable fighters of Earth origin, designed to accommodate fighting in multiple environments. There's a Battroid form for ground engagements and one-on-one duels, a fighter form for air and space dogfights, and a hybrid form for maneuverability in tight quarters. There are a number of them in the Hangar, but they're not for everyone."
He hesitated for a moment. "It's probably easier to demonstrate it than explain, honestly."
no subject
He sheathes his sword for the first time since anyone has seen him leave Armory, with the sound of steel on steel, and his stance is... almost cheerful?
no subject
Once there, Zouichi pointed out the Nightmare (http://www.macross2.net/m3/macrossf/vf-171ex.htm), still in fighter form.
"These are the Sensoriums, if no one's explained them to you before. It's possible to imagine up just about anything here. A lot of people use them for training purposes." Himself included.
no subject
"It looks almost... Eldar. Not properly solid for imperial technology."
no subject
The silvery craft shifted smoothly into the form of a large, humanoid mobile suit, a good deal taller than the fighter. "Battroid mode is for duels and ground battle."
Finally, he brought it into its intermediate form, a hybrid of the two. "And there's GERWALK mode for maneuverability. Makes it a lot easier to navigate crowded asteroid fields and urban environments."
no subject
He crosses to the fighter and touches it with a gauntleted hand.
"Hmmm. How does it function without sigils and signs to the Omnimessiah?"
no subject
no subject
His fists clench for a moment.
no subject
...Although they had discovered a den of flesh-eating chemical warfare zombies on-ship the other month or so, so maybe it was more likely than he thought.
no subject
He walks away from the Nightmare for a moment. "They fly across the galaxy in ships known as Warspheres."
no subject
"And what is it you fly across the galaxy in?"
no subject
He looks a bit crestfallen.
"I wish I could show you an example."
no subject
Zouichi was sort of curious about these ships now. What did vessels in 40,000 A.D. look like?
no subject
He points to the first, and says "Thunderhawk. My brothers and I ride to war in these, striking from the skies and bringing doom to our foes." http://www.ironhands.com/thawk.jpg
The second makes him spread his arms, encompassing a ship too large to actually fit in the hangar, obviously abstracted somewhat, looking something like a flying cathedral or castle. "This is a Strike Cruiser. It can hold an entire fighting Company of Templars like myself, and brings us through the Warp to various war zones in the galaxy."
http://images.wikia.com/warhammer40k/images/0/0e/Space_Marine_Strike_Cruiser.jpg
"There are larger ships... but these should give you some idea. They are the vehicles of the Adeptus Astartes, like myself. Heavily mechanized for efficient deployment of assault troops, not the great wallowing mass conveyances of the Imperial Guard, or the Navy."
no subject
Also missiles."It must take tremendous effort to maintain ships of that size. The Thunderhawk, in particular, somewhat resembles carrier craft I've seen in holoimages."
no subject
He considers, then asks, "Has your culture left Terra yet?"
no subject
Zouichi blinked at the question. How to answer?
"It has... in fact, we established a colony on Mars a few centuries ago. However, the entire colony was destroyed by a virus of human manufacture. Supposedly, there's not a single person left alive there. There was an expedition to Mars shortly before I was brought here, though."
no subject
He considers the words about the entire colony being destroyed, and nods.
"That doesn't sound unusual to your time, from what I have heard. To be honest, that sort of thing still happens in my time."
Even more frequently, actually.
no subject
He nodded. "Well, seems like we have a worldwide disaster every so often, though the one that occurred right before I left was... more devastating than most." If only humanity could develop its technology without going power-mad or creating agents that were so destructive that a single mistake in their handling could threaten human existence worldwide. Wasn't that a small thing to ask?
no subject
He nods at Zouichi's comment, and says, "We rise and fall, constantly."
no subject
What the what. "Things worked pretty differently where I came from, then."
