eighteenth jump;

CHARACTERS: any and all
LOCATION: Gravity Couches and beyond
WARNINGS: maybe some swearing, or even some violence, and more than likely some implied (and possibly explicit) nakedness.
SUMMARY: Another month, another jump, another round of new faces.
NOTES: Keeping up with the tradition and copy pasted like always from the last one 



You wake up in darkness.


There's a breathing tube jammed down your trachea, and you're suspended in a tube of clear blue fluid. Upon registering your level of consciousness, the gravity couch drains the fluid surrounding you and retracts the breathing apparatus; the doors in front of you open, and you're deposited on the floor of a stark, sterile medical bay.

You are not alone.

There are others who have come before you, others who are awakening beside you. Some may be familiar to you, perhaps even friends. Others have much less amiable plans. Some are merely alien and inexplicable, but there are always those who might mean you harm.

After you catch your breath and your vision returns, you notice a number on the inside of your forearm. Maybe it's a familiar number. Maybe it means something. Maybe it's just a number. But the number—completely unique to you—is a tattoo, and it does not come off.

If you enter the room adjacent to the medbay, you will find a small locker with your number on it, surrounded by rows upon rows of identical lockers. Inside, you will find a few of your personal items, a communications device, and a ship's uniform in your exact size. The comms device is fully powered and connects directly to the ship's network; it's your only means of communication beyond physical conversation. Upon turning the device on, a neutral, automated voice will say, "Please take the blue lift to the passenger quarters." Any other attempts at communicating with the rest of the network are met only with static.

This is your welcome party.

Last month had been interesting. Enthralling. It was the most AM had felt alive, save for certain encounters that happened a few nights a week... But that pirate invasion was the best thing that happened to him. The pathetic inhabitants of the Tranquility had been huddled in fear - an amusing sight to say the least. But that was only a small fraction of the fun that AM had.

Weapons. He finally had some decent weapons. For over a year of relying on a pathetic knife and then some cattle prods, he now had actual guns. Better equipped to defend himself, certainly, and... more ways to cause pain.

And causing pain was what made him feel alive. This human form provided true pleasure - nothing even close could be felt in his form back on Earth. As much as he had tortured his previous victims, the "pleasure" he felt from it was nothing. No physical sensations - just an emotional high. But now... He had captured one of those pirates before and dragged him to a remote location. AM had had a little fun with him and took his sweet time causing every manner of pain he could think of at the moment until the poor sap died.

An addict. He was an addict to causing others pain, and now that he finally got that high he had been seeking, he felt relatively content for now. When he stepped out of the gravity couches, he looked tired as usual, but still a bit happier than usual. A glint in his red eyes, his lips curled almost into a smirk, he made his way through the motions.
