Meet and Greet
The rest of the crew assembled on the Observation Deck to meet the latest editions to their numbers.
Several people are set up near the doors to provide the new people with omnicomms and comm rings. They are also told they must read information about their current situation and a survival guide with their new omnicomm. New crewmates might see a tall dragonish guy with wings (but don't call him that), a large afro attached to a smaller girl, and talking ponies 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. But thankfully this time, there's a system that was set up to aid the new crew members with a few more experienced ones.
[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. Big brother/sister, there will be a thread for you as well!]

Re: No problem on slow. I've got an appointment shortly but I'll pick up tagging after, I promise.
What? Sarcasm? What is this strange thing?
"You in charge?"

After a moment: "Name's Roger Maxson. Don't know what year it was when they grabbed you, but me, I was in 2097 at the time."
no subject
A moment.
"It was 2009 where I'm from, got pulled when I was about to die. So what exactly's the future like?"
no subject
"Which, I feel the need to point out, isn't necessarily something to do with your own world. Apparently there's... more than one version of history here. People from all kinds of different timelines that you'd think ought to just be one history. I'm not really sure I understand it myself."
no subject
"Though it sounds like you had it worse off than I did. Just got pissed."
no subject
"I'll be honest, I'm a good decade or so past the point of it really smarting any more." One side of his mouth twists in something like a smile. "It also helps there's people here from about two hundred years after my time, and they remember me. Seems that just because we get pulled out of one point in time and our world supposedly ends, doesn't mean all the versions do. Things we made happen, stay happened. Somewhere."
no subject
"Thanks."
You may have just become the first guy for Cole to get along with.
"And, yeah, I've got the power to manipulate electricity. Along with a little bit of ice, I think."
no subject
"Huh. You know, there's been stories about psykers back home, but mostly that was just mind-reading and spoon-bending and things like that. Can't say I've ever heard of someone who could actually work electricity with his mind," he says after some thought. "How'd that happen? Bolt of lightning at an odd moment?"
He's not a big comic book reader, never was, but he did used to have a fondness for old pulp novels and their plot devices.
no subject
"Used to be a bike courier, was asked to deliver a package to the middle of the city, got called by the guy who ordered it and was told to open it."
"It turned out to be a device called the Ray Sphere, which absorbed the life energy of a few thousand people, and focused it into me. Not completely sure about the specifics," (OOC: Is it ok if I'm not?) "but it gave me the power to do this."
Watch as Cole charges some electricity between his hands.
"Course, considering what followed, it wasn't exactly worth it."
no subject
Roger whistles as the smell of ozone fills the air around the crackling electricity. "That's... damn," he says. "Impressive and horrifying. Now you've got me half afraid to ask what came next."
no subject
And then found out he did this to prepare me to take on a Conduit that destroyed the world in the future he came from, known as the Beast.
And... can let's leave it there for now.
(OOC: Cole was only releasing a small amount of electricity between his hands, would that still make ozone?)
no subject
"... you know," Roger says after some thought, "I think I'll just stick with having government-sponsored medical experiments on live human prisoners dropped in my lap ten days before the War broke out. At least it all happened on one timeline. No offense, you understand."
no subject
Cole was a bit appreciative of the fact that this guy was willing to listen to him.
"Sorry for making you listen to my whining."
Plink! Trophy Unlocked! Befriend A Cool Old Guy!... right?

"I think I'll start getting my shit together soon. Figure out what I should next."
"Thank you."
