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.

"I once plowed a fallow field for three hours to make a child new to our village smile."

The paper his entry is on is huge as each letter he wrote was written by two of his feet, though whoever read it would see it however they read their information to get here.

Nathanial's entry shows reasonably clear, if slightly formal penmanship. "I have dreamed the same dream every night for I've forgotten how long." It fits on a normal card.

She's not into games, but they encourage this, right? So she ponders for a while, frowning at the card paper before her. Everything felt too personal. Too easy to point to her. That or it all felt too... gory for this group. And she doubted anyone wanted to know she knows the feeling of shoving a hand through a persons head and exploding it.

Finally she wrote in short tight print, a simple and point blank fact. 'I've walked upon all 78 planets in the system I call home.'

"I once ran away to the circus." The words are tight and neat, perfectly legible. The letters are so uniform it almost looks more like a custom font than handwriting.

There are many things he could write here, none of them suitable for this game. After a long moment of pondering he finally writes, "I once got roped into delivering mail all over the continent."

His writing is slanted and written hastily, practically chicken scratch but still legible.

"I once clawed my way out of a giant monster. Actually, did that twice!"

Her life was filled with fighting. Hard to think of much else she wanted to share that wasn't just embarrassing or worse.

Shepard thought for a moment before supplying her own card.

I once drove an all-terrain vehicle straight up a mountainside.

Soma's penmanship is pretty elegant - the product of several centuries of past lives.

I once fought a castle and won.

It fits on a standard index card.

[The writing is casual and rounded, with letters that are a bit large, but not overly so. It fits on a simple card, with some of the letters on the upper line mixing in with the letters of the lower line.]

I caught a fish, but it was too big,
so really, the fish caught me.
