[ the first thing dundee feels like doing is throwing up, which in and of itself is a bit of a feeling he tries to avoid. sure, he's felt like this before, but usually it was after a hard night of partying and to be perfectly honest, he hasn't done that in years. the second thing, the far more important thing for dundee, is that he realizes he's on spaceship of sorts and unlike the worrisome desire to throw up, this revelation causes him to pause.

logically, he doesn't think he should be here, but he is and he doesn't necessarily know how, though the weird pod is a definite possibility to him. he has to force himself to try to stop feeling so disoriented before he gets up to go find something to contact another human being with. (except, perhaps he's alone and- dundee doesn't want to think about that possibility.)

it takes him a bit to find his device, but once he does, he reads everything he can. he figures that there are probably locked bits that he can't see, but unlike some people he knows, he can respect a person's privacy. besides, looking at the locks and the differences between this tech and tech back at home, he thinks even aberdeen or cambridge might have problems with it. (speaking of, he notices a woman with the...name cambridge; it's confusing to him and he's pretty sure that it's just the residual disorientation talking. he makes a not to ask about that, perhaps later.) he notices oxford there and makes a face, not the best company, but it'll do in a pinch. though, dundee doesn't technically count this as necessarily being in a pinch, since in addition to oxford, there's what looks like aberdeen (oh he can recognize her texts anywhere) and durham. potentially five out of a number usually much larger than that. how enjoyable.

after a bit of a wait, dundee finds himself typing away, sending a very simple message that will make no sense to certain people, but will make enough sense to the people he wants it to. ]


if the city dundee means anything to any of you, i believe that we might want to talk. just for the sake of talking, perhaps. 

[ he then flips it to voice. he's hardly vain, but he'd prefer not to show off how he might look right now to everyone else. not yet at least. ]
 

Out of curiosity, whose brilliant idea was it to make this transfer, I believe you'd call it, here, come with the feeling of being hungover. Had I have known, I would have packed pain medication in my bag so that I could take something when I got here. I would just honestly like to point out that hangovers are not a way to endear yourself to people. Odd, I know, but it's the truth.

Speaking of, does anyone have anything on hand in the realm of pain medication or should I just burrow into some form of a bed and come out once I feel better?

[He wouldn't wear the provided uniform, oh no. Not when his own uniform was inside of his locker. Maybe he wasn't a Federation officer anymore, but he wasn't going to surrender his only way of life, himself, to the unknown. There were many thoughts running through Travis' mind after he hazily followed the given instructions, halfway dressed, and made his way to his numbered door. 002»057, just as it was etched onto his mechanical arm. As he opened the door, a vague memory stirred... something about Jake. No, Blanche... Blake? ...and aliens, was it? Star What? Vaughn– Avon? He sat down on the meticulously made bed and rubbed his shoulder. It felt strangely like an energy graze, but when was he in a crossfire?

Nothing was adding up. He was somewhere that was completely alien to him, with an injury that he couldn't remember getting, and to top it all off, there was a strange feeling harbouring in his head that he should very well have been dead. He should have been dead a fair few times to his credit, but this time it wasn't sitting right - or maybe that was the nausea rekindling. He didn't know why th– what was this number on his arm?

Oh, right.

And then the tiniest sliver of memory came through. He couldn't remember the shootout or anything of merit from the incident at Star One, really, but he had a faint hinting of sending the coordinates to... somewhere. The ones that Servalan wanted. The ones he took from those primitive barbarians. He gave them to an alien for... for. There was a good reason. Probably.

Backtracking his muddled thoughts some, he immediately stood up and clenched his fists. Had he been taken prisoner? It damn well seemed like it. He zipped his uniform the rest of the way and grabbed the communicator which he hadn't given any notice to before, switching on the video link. There's a feigned calmness trying to override the anger in his voice.]


I don't know who any of you are, or what I'm doing here, but I demand answers. Specifically, who is in charge of this ship?

[Pssst. Hey guys, I totally missed out on the handwave meme but Rarity would have made the most fantabulous clothes for anyone who asked. Except Stats who explicitly wanted something plain and not fantabulous, boo.

AND NOW FOR A VIDEO POST IN WHICH PONIES DO NOT GET IT:
]

You know, for all I hear of this being some sort of ship, I've never managed to find my way up onto the docks. Of course, half of the lifts seem to be broken and this place is a sheer labyrinth on its own, but would love to see the ocean or whatever it is we're sailing on. Not only that, but I just long to get some fresh air. I miss the breeze on my face!

Has any...one [she is still adjusting to that] managed to find their way up there yet? You simply must take me there.

[ Nigel isn't a luddite in any way, shape or form, though he's never been fond of technology in any strong sense. For a young man who liked to spend his time wrist-deep in the insides of once-living things, far too often technology and all of its trappings struck him as too clinical, too detached. Too bloodless. And so, it's with a fair amount of fiddling that he finally manages to get his communicator to work, choosing the video options after scrolling through one and then the other, weighing the benefits and drawbacks of each.

When the image clicks on, the Network is greeted with a young man in his late teens — strong-jawed and handsome, tidy and in a jacket and tie, his bangs pushed across his forehead in a damp swipe of dark hair. He looks, for all intents and purposes, perfectly harmless. And when he speaks, his voice is surprisingly low and oddly lulling despite the way it seems to lie flat over certain phrases.
]

Hello, Tranquility, [ the young man says simply, revealing himself to be English and with quite good diction. ] I've questions and it seems there are some of you who may provide answers.

So.

Where might I inquire about the dead?

[It didn't take too long for Hilda to figure out how to work the communicator; it was bulkier, more like those vintage cell phones than the communicators she was used to, but if it was anything like a computer, she could figure it out. Putting her priorities in order, the first thing on the list: make sure the crew of the IXGP weren't also in this mess.]

Gene, Melfina, Jim, Gilliam: if you're here and can see this, respond.

[It's short and sweet. Revealing any more might compromise the ships and its secrets to the rest of the network. Now, article number two. Hilda's face falls into a stern expression; her yellow eyes focus at the camera like daggers.]

I need straight answers. Why the hell am I still alive? No ship exists that can resist the gravity sink of a sun long enough to rescue someone already pulled into it.

 [Topher's been lurking in the locker room, being avoidant and generally displeased with this entire situation... Also on the verge of panic, because this? This is not good. He's dressed, however, because even if the clothes are weird and not entirely comfy, they're better than pantslessness. The only other thing he took out of his locker is his silver bracelet, which you can see him fiddling with when the feed clicks on.

Yeah, to be perfectly honest, he has no intention of following the nice disembodied voice to the passenger quarters. It reeks of rabbit hole to him and aside from the crazy assortment of posts to this... Channel, he supposes, he has no idea what the eff is happening. And honestly, those posts could mean anything. So he has one theory. Too many unsolvable problems, the adrenaline, the fear, the disorientation...

When he speaks, his voice is tight- he's holding in so much... Spazz.]


Instead of... Blind, probably pointless panic, I have one question before I agree to... Going anywhere the voices tell me. And that question is this.

If I say The Attic, you people- everyone out there, whoever you might be- all think of... What?

[Look, if Echo was right, then at least everyone in The Attic knows of The Attic, even if they don't know they're in it. And right now, this is feeling pretty Attic-y... Which makes sense, considering he just helped blow up Rossum's HQ.

The fact that he isn't throwing up is a testament to how much control he's maintaining over the situation... Or the fact that he's legitimately too disoriented to think about throwing up.

After a second, he continues, because he just realized something.]


I don't know what I'm expecting here- even if you tell me it's that thing above a house, you could just be messing with me. [He rubs his head and whines.] And now my brain hurts. 
 
 
Roxanne Ritchi

[The feed clicks on and Roxanne just looks absolutely resplendent in that jumpsuit, doesn’t she?
 
Right. Well. She’s presentable, at least.
]
 
Good afternoon, fellow shipmates of the Tranquility.
 
[She smiles, but it’s tight around the edges.]
 
I’d like to properly introduce myself - My name is Roxanne Ritchi, and and I come from Metro City – though I don’t expect many of you will really know where that is, considering the circumstances we all find ourselves in. It’s a jewel of city, situated on the coast of Lake Michigan and while it has its…strains, like any other major metropolis, I can promise it’s quite the beautiful place, with its golden spires and gleaming white buildings. [She doesn’t launch into much purple prose. It’s hard not to brag on Metro City a little, though. ]
 
Ah. Anyway – the purpose of this transmission is to settle a few…rumors that might be going around. There was, unfortunately, a misunderstanding last night that I’m sure quite a few of you are aware of, but rest assured -- that is all cleared up at this point.
 
[Thank you for kind of humiliating her, Megamind.]
 
I was warned upon my initial arrival that there are many, many people here from different places and times and in the excitement of meeting one such person that happened to be familiar, I…forgot that.
 
To the person that I…miscommunicated with – [Everyone knows who you are, sweetie] – I owe you an apology. If you wouldn’t mind, I’d like to meet up with you and maybe have a calmer, more…adult talk.
 
[For a moment, it sounds like she’s finished. Then --]
 
Tali’zorah? I’d like to meet up with you, whenever you’re available.
