forty-third 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: As you emerge from the grav couches following the jump, the chill of the medical bay pales in comparison to the hollow feeling that settles deep within your chest. Grim and foreboding, the grip of isolation spreads through you like a gnawing void, as though you've been left behind. That nagging sensation of neglect that comes from someone turning their back on you only worsens as you move through your routines, leaving you feeling distant, disoriented, and unwanted.
New arrivals will find messages spray-painted in red across their lockers telling them not to follow their tattoo numbers, and instead to find a room on Floors 001-010.
----------------
YOU͘ ̨WAKE̢ ̧UP ́IN DA̛RKN̢E̕SS̶
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.
YÓU̴ ̧ĄRE NOT҉ ̷ALǪNE҉
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.

He did want a peek inside one of these things, though. But like Firo said, he was probably better off waiting until no one was around to see him doing it. It was also probably worth asking Gogo about the whole thing. If she'd really been there for as long as she said, then she probably knew a thing or two on how to use the shuttles.
His mind wandered to the various possibilities, turning his gaze from one shuttle to another, brow furrowing in thought. He left the talking to Tadashi; his brother was better at dealing with people anyway. He knew how to open his mouth and not piss people off.

And much as Firo's the type to rush into things without thinking, he's grown to be a bit more careful when it comes to messing around with things he doesn't understand.
"I really wouldn't know, but I don't think it's that often." He scratches his head, shrugging when he relents that even that's a big guess. Any further information he tries to give would be even less certain.
"I don't know if they've got a regular schedule or anything, but you should be able to shoot somebody who works here a message."

"I appreciate you taking the time to show us this much." Tadashi gestured to his brother as well. "Both of us do."
And he was genuinely earnest about that. Seeing all of this... it gave them a start toward determining what was going on. Likely much more quickly than if they had just wandered around on their own.
He cast a glance toward Hiro, double checking. "Anything else before we head back?"
