Crashing Down: Preparation

[voidtreckermods]

Voidtreckers. I have picked up a catastrophe mission coming from system #78961112094711. Voidtreckers have urged me to be open with you all these last months and so I shall be transparent. The readings coming from this catastrophe are very unusual and I cannot determine the threats. Indeed there do not seem to be any threats in the system that would result in a catastrophe level mission.

This has been encountered before, in the Month of Egret on system #27462947582. This voidcraft was unable to ascertain the threats that could lead to a catastrophe. Known risks were calculated and mission goals created, but the Voidtreckers were put in unnecessary danger from the world destroyers.

From the data available it is not unreasonable to believe that the catastrophe facing #78961112094711 comes from the world destroyers. We still have little information. We do not have any way to stop the destroyers. However we have advantages that Voidtreckers did not have in the month of Egret.

We know what is coming. System #78961112094711 is Void Active. Voidtreckers have allies there. Saving the system is not possible but with five hours it is possible that many many lives could be saved by evacuating them to the void.

This voidcraft is sending a forward message to the ministry stationed on System #78961112094711. Due to the nature of arriving at catastrophe missions they will receive it not long before we arrive. But it should mean they are ready for us. This voidcraft has calculated mission goals to help voidtreckers organise but it should be noted that the most important goal is to save as many lives as possible.

The announcement comes out of the blue on day twenty four of the month of Quicksand. Not too long after breakfast when people are getting on with chores or other morning activities.

It is followed quickly by a holographic message setting out their team goals. They do not have all that much time before arrival, an hour or so to be prepared for the huge task ahead of them. The dressing carriage is open with warm coats, hats and other team-coordinated winter accessories.

How to prepare for such a challenge? It's going to be a very difficult day.

[OOC: This is a bonus extra for those who want to play out the preparation and reaction to the forthcoming event. It is forward dated until day 24. The actual event will go up on the 16th April and a conclusion on the 23rd. Though IC the event will only last one day.]

They will be coming to this train? [Would this train fit a whole world full of people. Hadn't Osiga only been one planet in a system of lots of planets and space stations?

She's focusing though, shaking off the confused sleepiness of just waking up. She moved to a drawer and opened it. Hats. Yes. Osiga had been very cold.]

[tactlesstantei]

No, I think they'll be going to their own voidcrafts. They're void active and the train sent a message ahead to the ministry there, so they don't need to board ours I don't think.

[Masumi's going through coats, looking for one in her size. It doesn't take long to find one and put it on, doing it up as she speaks.]

I wish we could stop the destroyers from destroying the world but apparently the mission is just to save people before they get there. [At least people will be saved, but letting Osiga be destroyed isn't ideal.]

[knifewithnoname]

Okay. [That makes sense. They had the void ministry on that world. Some people had been to speak to them. So they had their own void craft.

She finds a coat and pulls it on, it fits. It will do.]

Yes it would be being better if we could be fighting the world eaters.

[tactlesstantei]

They can't be left to keep hitting worlds like they do. [They have to be stopped, but Masumi isn't sure how to do that. All that can be done for now is save lives with the limited time they have to do it.]

...We'll have five hours to save as many people as we can. It won't be a long mission this time. [It won't be long, but it will be a scramble by the sounds of it.]

[knifewithnoname]

Five hours. [To save a whole world. That wasn't a lot. But she nodded, face grim.]

I will be preparing then.

[tactlesstantei]

[Masumi nods, busy preparing herself. After a bit, once she's mostly dressed for the mission, she finally speaks again.]

I wonder if Anan will be there. It's her system.

[knifewithnoname]

Anan. She do be being the one with the drone? [She's never spoken to her but she's heard of her.] Maybe. Though she do be being a void hero too so she might be being on another world.

[Saving another world, when her own is in peril.]
