ROLE — NAVIGATOR 🧭

[dropoffs]

NAVIGATOR

welcome, crewmate SHOMA ENDA.

On SUNDAY, once the unfortunate procedures of ... "Execution" has gone over, Shoma will hear the familiar ping of the I.R.I.S. at his wrist; the moment that he lifts up his hand to check what the noise is for, a window immediately pops up. The projection fills in a spread of maroon, and a message sent only to their designation loads in the window.

There is no compulsion to obey the request, but it is an extension of knowledge, and curiosity - and could be interesting.

Shoma Enda,

Unfortunate and ill timing given what's just happened, but mayhaps this invitation can provide some insight into what's to come with these upcoming weeks. I wish I could have done this at a better time but it is a decision that must be made before our next travel destination.

Meet me here as soon as possible and I'll be sure to explain more thoroughly.

METIS

A location pops up on the I.R.I.S. once the message is read, and will indicate where Shoma needs to go to meet with Metis. It will lead to a command room in which only the Senior Crew is allowed access, and an important factor when it comes to navigation. When he gets there, he'll find the COS waiting patiently, observing a line of data and routes illuminated on a panel above the main control that vanishes once they spot Shoma. A brief ! displays on the visor of their helmet before they lead them towards a table for seating with a gesture, some snacks and drinks already prepared.

"Let's have a seat. Ready to go over the details?"

RULES

As the role responsible for navigation, along with information that is acquired, Shoma is expected to follow a few rules:

1. For now, keep your new designation a secret. This can be revisited at a later date. Should this designation be shared with anyone without prior authorization, consequences and termination of position are possible.
2. If you distribute any information acquired, it must be done anonymously or without referencing the source. This can be revisited at a later date.
3. As the Navigator, Shoma will be presented with two/three routes to take in order to reach the Eudora's next stop. Each route will come with a brief description, and Shoma may only choose one. No further details will be offered regarding the route until the following Monday, and each will have its own consequences to bear. If you choose not to act, then a choice will be made for you.
4. Additionally, Shoma may use this time to speak directly with Metis each week. They may ask questions, receive small hints, or simply chat with them, though any information received will be subject to Metis' own discretion.
5. Your findings will be given to you after your decision is made on Sunday, with results of the path chosen announced Monday morning with the new mingle post.

WEEK 0

[dropoffs]

TALK TO METIS.

[dropoffs]

[ ...Well, with what's happened, the mood isn't certainly Good. Though clouded, foggy, like emotions buried underwater, there's the sensation of alarm, uncertainty, self-doubt.

Even so, there's work to be done and they're here. What questions do you have? ]

[solesuccess]

[ hm. of course he's going to follow. he has a lot of beef with this goddamn ship, but anything he can do to find answers is worth it.

but he does go to sit, the vibes tentative and uncertain as he peers at them cautiously. ]

...hey. [ good start. ] So...what's this about?

DECISION.

[dropoffs]

[ For the upcoming travel, you have three paths to choose from:

1. No activity seems to be detected, eerily, with no signs of disturbances.

2. A high chance of solar storm electromagnetic fields causing interference.

3. Looks like some strange aurorae mist anomaly brackets this way.

please choose one path before no later than Sunday at 9PM PST. ]

WEEK 1

[dropoffs]

TALK TO METIS.

[dropoffs]

[ Metis is here with a similar set-up as the week before with provided snacks and drinks, though they are supporting their right arm with the aid of their left hand more notably today. They offer a light nod in greeting. ]

[solesuccess]

[ no fuck you he is coming in here and having a seat directly across from them, plaintively staring for a moment. ]

Metis. What's wrong with your arm. [ JUST POINT-BLANK ASKING TODAY. he will go back to pleasantries in a bit. ]

DECISION.

[dropoffs]

[ For the upcoming travel, you have three paths to choose from:

1. Frozen clouds scattered about, temperatures indicate to drop due to cryogenic atmosphere levels dipping lower.

2. An obscure darkness barrens the way with a occasional blip of a murky green light that comes and goes.

3. Warning for a small geomagnetic storm as a solar wind shock wave rolls through.

please choose one path before no later than Sunday at 9PM PST. ]

WEEK 2

[dropoffs]

TALK TO METIS.

[dropoffs]

[ Well, Metis(?) is here, presumably given they are still in uniform despite their helmet being set off onto the table and their hood pushed back. With the hood pushed away, there's a clear view of the same kind of material of their right arm covered what can be seen on their neck and up onto parts of their face. Hair red that ends in white towards the bottom ends with two curved ear ears that flick back. They have their I.R.I.S open with communications, seemingly a chat as there are seven other different colors that represent each Senior Crew on the screen. One hand rubs at their temple. ]

DECISION.

[dropoffs]

[ For the upcoming travel, you have three paths to choose from:

1. An apparent Geostorm may possibly occur, various pieces of rock swirling around and a light shaky turbulence.

2. This pathway is shrouded in a green-like mist with Umbral Winds rolling in.

3. Conditions indicate Moon Dust, the path is caked with specks of white and a grey as well black smog.

please choose one path before no later than Sunday at 9PM PST. ]

WEEK 3

[dropoffs]

TALK TO METIS.

[dropoffs]

[ Well, that sure happened. And a lot at that. It's probably closer to evening since they spent a good while in Medbay but they hold themselves very carefully. Nevertheless, new week coming so a new decision to make. Time for work. ]

DECISION.

[dropoffs]

[ For the upcoming travel, you have three paths to choose from:

1. Signs of radioactive energy infect this area, the Core Radiation levels at a Medium warning.

2. A rather calamitous vision shows as a starshower rains around in gleams of orange and gold.

3. With shelf clouds rolling in, this pathway is unnaturally cloudy all throughout.

please choose one path before no later than Sunday at 9PM PST. ]

WEEK 4

[dropoffs]

TALK TO METIS.

[dropoffs]

[ Each week certainly gets all the more exhausting... Metis is here seeming distracted, with notable eyebags beneath his eyes and looking incredibly exhausted, writing away at his journal with ears folded back and a low lash of his tail peeking beneath his robes. He also has his staff with him that's settled against the table. How he's barely keeping up is beyond anyone, keeping one hand pressed firmly to his chest. ]

DECISION.

[dropoffs]

[ For the upcoming travel, you have three paths to choose from:

1. A soft dreamy green mist stretches on this way, showing glimpses of another ship here and there but nothing comes up on the radar.

2. There is nothing remotely dark in this direction, filled with an Everlasting Light that almost blinds with how bright it is.

3. A harsh intense heat shows in the temperature monitors, the pathway a bright scarlet that wavers.

please choose one path before no later than Sunday at 9PM PST. ]

WEEK 5

[dropoffs]

TALK TO METIS.

[dropoffs]

[ Hello, Metis is here with his fully crystal glory (that can be seen around his robes), seeming a bit more alert since the day before but still nursing a fresh pot and cup of tea near him. There are also snacks with water, soda, coffee, more tea for his company to enjoy. Which is every week really but he is more prepared this time. No sudden Sunday harms spooking him this time around. Outside the obvious rust staining a whole lot of his upper torso. Yuck. ]

DECISION.

[dropoffs]

[ For the upcoming travel, you have three paths to choose from:

1. An obscure darkness barrens the way with a occasional blip of a colorful pink light that comes and goes. Pretty.

2. The pathway here seems to be clear but there are hidden "waves" roaming through, a warning to expect the ship to sway with small rolling turbulences.

3. For a flickering moment, there seems to be something there but in a blink of an eye it's gone. No activity seems to be detected, eerily, with no signs of disturbances.

please choose one path before no later than Sunday at 9PM PST. ]

WEEK 6

[dropoffs]

TALK TO METIS.

[dropoffs]

[ Everything seems to be turning up as of late this week, good signs - a good way to pick up moral! The dead returning, avoiding murders, and yet... Those paths... G'raha is here pooling over the monitors with looks of concern. He glances over at Shoma when he arrives, gently patting the chair beside him to join. Come come, let us discuss. ]

DECISION.

[dropoffs]

[ For the upcoming travel, you have three paths to choose from:

1. No matter how you look at it, it all looks the same. The path is filled with pink misty haze that makes it too difficult to see through.

2. Everywhere you look, nothing differently stands out. The path is filled with pink misty haze that makes it too difficult to see through.

3. More and more. The path is filled with pink misty haze that makes it too difficult to see through.

please choose one path before no later than Sunday at 9PM PST. ]
