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.

I generally don't kid around when I'm mostly naked with a man I've never met before.

[Shrug]

It's the ship's AI. It can kill us, I guess. I don't know, I've never seen the thing.

Considering it's an AI, you're not supposed to see it.

It ever killed anyone before?

It pops up on the communicators, I hear.

[And a consideration]

I'm not the best person to ask. You're better off asking our fearless leader. Kirk knows more than I do.

Makes sense with the AI bit. Associated with them after all.

[ A beat. ]

Jim Kirk? Captain James T. Kirk if he was feeling particularly annoying that day and felt like flaunting the title.

I think he only really flaunts it when he's flirting with me, but yeah, that's the one.

He does that. Thinks it'll get him on their good side.

That would be my best friend. He still here?
chuffle: (Daphne - enjoy my morning)

As far as I know. Lucky you.

[She points towards the direction of his pod]

If you want to see him covered in goo and struggling not to spit up this stuff, his pod is that way.

[And then she points in the direction of the lockers]

If you want to give him a chance to recoup his dignity, take a shower and then head to the lockers.

I'll be nice just this once even if he doesn't deserve it.

[ There's a pause where he shrugs. ]

Listen, I should probably try and get this mess off me. I'll— probably be able to see you around some time. You take care, alright? Don't slip in anything.

Good luck.

[She says it with a wave and a slight smile, and watches him go.

Well.

That was something.]
