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.]

Romeo had thought about that. He knows there's a lot of people and it's quite scary, to think that they wouldn't be able to reach everyone. But they had to try and if they worked very hard he was sure they would get a lot of people.

It was just going to be a lot of hard work!

"It's okay sir! I hope we can get to everyone!"

It’s not that Rezo thinks Romeo is entirely ignorant to the stakes; Rezo may have been a lousy father by anyone’s standards, but you can’t raise two children and interact with innumerable ones over the course of a long career without gleaning some idea of their capability for insight.

But anxiety over the task ahead isn’t going to be of much help, so he continues to smile reassuringly, as if they’re about to embark on a tricky exam instead of organizing a life-or-death evacuation.

“Likewise,” Rezo agrees. “Alright, I won’t keep you any further. Go prepare yourself.”

"Okay sir!" He nodded at him and then did as he was told, skipping off to go and find things. They would need warm things, food and water, medical kit, he keeps the list up in his head as he goes about his preperation.
