E.S. Berkhard---1st Mission. "Getting to know you, getting to know all about you...."

Each crewmate had woken up in a cabin assigned to them, with their name and role on the door outside. It was a pretty nice little cabin, private and with a private bathroom. Like a basic hotel room honestly, in shades of deep blue and rich brown wood and steel. Clean sheets on the bed, clean linens on the desk waiting for use, and a closet full of uniforms for their use. (Each consisting of dark blue BDU pants and jacket with rank and name, a black undershirt, and black boots. These uniforms are modified for non-humanoid wear as needed.)

A small note was on the desk, on top of the linens. "Welcome Explorer! For your first mission, you are to proceed to the Waystation's VR deck. There is a map accessible on your Omniband, which will also be used to lock and unlock your cabin. Each Omniband is individually designated. It is recommended Omnibands be worn at all times." Indeed, there is a small blue, silver, or grey band that looks like a circular smart-watch on the desk. The 'band' itself will expand to fit over any width, or can be unlocked and flipped to form an 'S' type shape with the screen, to act like a traditional phone.

Explorers can explore their ship if they want. Although they won't be able to undock or leave the Waystation. Heading out further into the Waystation, they're free to explore there as well. They will be prompted by their Omniband though, to gather in the VR Holodeck. The longer one takes to get to the VR Holodeck, the more insistent the prompts will get--starting with a beeping, that will only get worse the longer it takes. There is no way, short of hacking the Omniband, to disable this beeping. This is the first 'mission' after all!

Once there, the sliding doors will open to reveal what almost looks like any good 2010's employee conference room, although the table has been moved to the side and laid out with snacks and drinks. Stepping in will prompt a "My name is ____" badge to appear with the person's chosen name on their clothes in an appropriate place. Also on the table are various ideas for Ice-Breakers! A big banner spans the room and says "Welcome Explorers!"

It appears your first mission is for everyone to get to know each other!

OUT OF CHARACTER
This is for your chars to get to know each other, since you'll all be working as a crew. The MDSOBs have tried to make it welcoming and easy and encouraging. Below there will be a thread for some different Ice Breaker Activities. Please respond there for threads.

Shepard took a deep breath, before lightly tapping Glass on the shoulder.

“Could you turn around? Didn’t catch what part of the crew you were with.”

"I'm Security!" said Glass, turning -- a full circle, with his arms at his side, and then another one with them over his head. She wanted to get a good look at him, right? That's what she'd meant, he was sure of it.

Shepard barely managed to suppress the look of surprise that threatened to explode across her features. Instead, she gently put one hand out to stop him as he turned, ensuring they were facing one another.

"So, you mind telling me about yourself?"

Hopefully, his cheerful demeanor meant that talking was a good way to keep him from clearing the refreshments table singlehandedly.

"Oh, uh. I grew up kinda isolated, so if you think I'm weird, that's probably why. But now I'm out in the great wild world, by which I mean... apparently a LOT of great wide worlds, which is cool! Um, I like eggs, but there aren't any here, but I'm not really complaining." Glass tapped a finger to his lips briefly. "I'm protected by law! It's illegal to harass or poach me! Uh... I have internal organs, several of them in fact, which help keep me alive..."
