Welcome to the Illyria!

[statusreport]

Stardate 58561.8: Day One

Now that you've all got your room assignments and communicators, it's time to explore this ship. Please check out the deck plans to figure out where you're going. You can read about some of the existing crew members you might run into here.

Even those of you who may feel right at home on a spaceship will find that the Illyria is definitely a bit... different. Mostly because she's kind of a wreck right now. Whatever it was that threw the ship all the way out here to wherever we are, it really did a number on the ship itself. There's a lot of damaged areas, and several of the ship's systems have been compromised. You'll find that the replicators don't always work right (I asked for hasperat and I got pok tar!?), the turbolifts are unusually persnickety (I said bridge, not engineering!), and the environmental controls in your quarters may not do as they're told (why is it snowing in Room 4J?). Several corridors are blocked by debris, and more often than not the lights are flickering if they're on at all.

So what will you do? Help clean up the mess in the hallways? Try some bizarre alien food in the mess hall? Try and infiltrate restricted areas to get a peek at the ship's systems? Feel free to make your own top level comment, and treat this as a big mingle. Get to know your new crewmates, explore your new home, make friends or enemies, and whatever you do, don't try the gagh. If you need the captain or the first officer, please let a mod know, but try and stick to threading with your fellow new recruits!


(Don't worry about the entry tags for the moment, they will be added shortly. Before we throw ourselves into missions on alien planets, we wanted everyone to have a chance to get to know one another, so please use this opening log as an opportunity to kick off some CR with crewmates and bunk buddies, and if you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask a mod!)

The moment he gives the room number she's charging off in that direction.

"We're breathing just fine. But if that snow keeps going, it could cause more damage."

Something she really doesn't want to deal with. Plus she wants to figure out how the hell it was doing that and why it thought it was a good idea.

She obviously knew where she was going better than he did, so Bucky happily let her take the lead. He wasn't the kind of guy who had problems following a woman - maybe once he had been, but Carter had knocked that right the hell out of him. Along with all the other guys in the Commandos.

"It was just an inch or so on the floor when I first came in, 'bout an hour ago, maybe? But it was building up fast." He had no idea what details might be relevant, but it seemed like the kind of thing where knowing more about the situation would be better. "We didn't wanna try to mess with it and maybe make it worse."

"Good idea, you're at least smarter than some around here."

Not mentioning names, at least for now. But yeah, she'd already encountered someone who had been trying to 'fix' the lights. Fortunately, that had been taken care of and they're no longer in darkness on this deck.

Once reaching the room, she touched the small panel next to it to open the door.

The fact that she was able to open 'his' door so easily had Bucky frowning. If she could, who else could? There was definitely no way he was sleeping in there any time soon. Granted, any hideaway spot he could find wouldn't be lockable, but at least nobody would know to look for him there.

He'd already met at least one person on this ship who'd probably rather see him dead, after all.

"Mack?" His roommate appeared to have gone out, which was good or the place would have been a little cramped with three of them.

Bucky leaned against the doorframe, reluctant to step into the snow and ice, watching the engineer. "Anything I can do to help? You got a name or rank I oughta be addressing you by, or should I just stick with ma'am?"
