❖ INTRO & EVENT LOG [ MARCH TO MAY ]
ONBOARDING.
You open your eyes feeling a little stiff. The last thing you recall is seeing your planet get destroyed before a hand reached out to you--Captain's hand. You were then greeted with the same introductory phrase before receiving the keys to their brand new dorm, a device--you're told it's called the Babelfish, something that allows you to interact with others through the interdimensional network--and perhaps an extra thing or two.
You are then ushered into the onboarding area, where you can see your fellow passengers. Some foreign faces, perhaps even some familiar ones. Before you are given any time to think, however, Captain, at the head of the room, speaks up.
"Once again, welcome new guests, to the S.S. Phoenix! You may call me Captain. Today is your first day of onboarding, where you can get to learn more about us and your fellow passengers.
We are part of the Interdimensional Galactic Coalition, a system that was created to keep order and peace amongst the multiverse. This ship that you're currently in is now your new home. Consider the card that you have obtained your citizenship. However, staying here comes with a price.
As you already know, your worlds were destroyed. And we are here to help restore those worlds into proper order. But in order to do that, you must obtain Fragments. These mysterious Fragments will then power our ship's Revival Program. Those can be found in various worlds.
During your stay here, you will receive missions. While it is up to you whether you take on any mission here, I would advise for you to take ones that you are able to handle. These missions will be your lifeline here.
Now, if you have any further questions, now is the time to ask."
And she opens up the floor for questions--any questions.
ARRIVAL.
- Being new to the ship, you might want to take a gander at what the ship's got to offer. The ship is rather large, and there's so much to go through.
From a seemingly almost endless mall to bars to cafes, certainly there's something that caters to every taste! Not to mention that you do have that initial money to spend... so why not do so now?
Just don't get too crazy... you might just lose all of it in a blink of an eye.
Besides the many locations and how one might easily get lost in them, there are times when anti-gravity is turned off, causing characters to fly off in the air.
AND THEN, THEY WERE ROOMMATES.
- At some point before they reach the first planet, they might find themselves locked in their room for an hour. It seems that there was some sort of technical issue, but don't worry! At least you're not alone. They might even hear the AI intercom try and help make things less boring--offering ice breakers as the classic two truths and a lie, pong, and even listening to the top hit song on the S.S Phoenix--over and over and over again.
It's probably fine, though.
WELCOME TO FLORIDA.
- "We have achieved Normality! We've reached our stop--please enjoy everything the world has to offer. You are free to off board at any time."
In early April, the ship eventually arrives at its stop in Florida. There's quite a bit to do and sights to see. Hey, why not head to Disney World while you're at it? It's a fun time for the whole gang!
MISSION START!
Missions can be immediately taken the very moment the ship lands on the new planet. Characters will find on their devices--as well as on the mission board both the list of permanent missions as well as the bi-monthly missions. Characters can take as many or as little as they'd like. But there seems to be an odd little mission for the bi-monthly ones...wonder what that's about?
OOC: Welcome to the first introduction and event post for Fragment Space! This PSL will largely be a choose your own adventure (although there will be extensive mystery and lore) with a lot of exploration and investigation options. If you'd like to investigate or explore something in particular, please label your toplevel with investigation, either in your post yourself or in the headers.
And as always, feel free to ask any questions as needed as I am always willing to clarify or expand on anything.

I'd like to thank you for accommodating us, madam.
( Her hand clutches around her own shoulder as she speaks. )
Is there anything I can to help make your job easier, while I'm here?
no subject
Just do the missions. That's all. I already have enough staff assisting me with the larger issues.
no subject
I think I may have actually accepted one, though I fear it may have bricked my device.
( She takes it out and shows the screen to the captain: )
Delta. Oscar. November. Tango.

Would you happen to know what's going on?
( She's really uncertain what to make of this. )
no subject
[ The captain frowns, lips pressed together. ]
Someone hacked into our database earlier and thought it was funny to find a prank. You can ignore that. They were just being silly. We've found the culprit already and they've been punished accordingly.
no subject
Oh, I see! Sorry to be a bother then. Although, I don't suppose there's a way to fix my device?
( She's trying so hard, here. )

( She'll just be on her way, then! )

I didn't want this to be redundant, so I'll have Kerry step in after Odette leaves.
He'll take a seat across from the captain, lending something of a stilted air to the room. )
Hackers, huh? ( Down to business, per usual!! ) Don't suppose you'd mind if I took a peek at the ship's tech?
( He may just be slightly more versed in these things than the average magus. )

Not a problem. Actually, would it be possible to receive a copy of the system's code? Another set of eyes might be beneficial to mitigate potential security risks.
( He's not about to fight her if she says no... )

A punishment's a lot for a silly prank, isn't it? Did they actually take any information or anything?

[ It takes her a second before she realizes something. ]
Does that include info on us?

Just a silly prank? Haruhi thinks not! ]
Got it. So, everything in the network'll be safe going forward? It's gonna be uncrackable?
