0003: NEW ARRIVALS

Who: New Arrivals, Captain Jack Hollis, Science Captain Urist McEngineer, Graham Baker
Where: Briefing Room
When: Late afternoon
Warnings: None

When awakening, you'll find the area you're in to be very busy. The people in the medical ward are polite and understanding, but firmly refuse to answer questions until the briefing. The same goes for the robots in the hangars. Either given hospital outfits resembling very comfortable pajamas, drone bodies, or their own bodies, they are escorted by polite, unyielding people in red and black uniforms to the briefing room.

The room is large, but not quite large enough for some of the bigger Cybertronians. They've been given drone bodies at least, skinny little things with no real features beyond primitive masks made of paper plates. There's seats for everyone, at least, well-cushioned and comfortable, and the room is pleasantly lit.

A few Security personnel, dressed in their red and black uniforms, stand at ease in the rooms in strategic areas. Three men stand at the head. One is Graham Baker, a slightly nervous-seeming middle-aged man wearing a multi-layered business suit that seems rumpled and oversized. The other two men are dressed in military uniforms, one with the blue undershirt and piping of Command, while the other wears the gold of Science.

[Questions to the NPCs will go in the briefing thread. The rest of the post is there for people to mill about and do whatever with.]

Zouichi looked a little taken aback by the sudden rush of words. "It's no problem. So you didn't see them during the meeting, right? Did you get a comm device yet?"

He was used to these briefings being a little more organized. Then again, they'd said it had only been a few weeks since the accident happened. Maybe they'd just had other problems on their hands.

"I wasn't really looking around as carefully as I could have been during the meeting. Oh, but - I can use the device to check for them, can't I? Sorry, that was thoughtless of me..."

Her tone takes an apologetic turn at the end, before she laughs, light and self conscious.

"Um, I'm Ahiru."
zouichi: (Zouichi: um)

Having a human apologize to him like this was a bit of a bizarre experience. "Nothing to apologize for; I think everyone here is a little disoriented."

He extended a hand to her in greeting. "I'm Zouichi, by the way. Nice to meet you. Are you looking for anyone in particular?"

When she takes his hand to shake, at least, there's a smile on her face, small as it might be.

"I'm Ahiru! It's nice to meet you. Um, and I was looking for a few people... Describing them all might take a while, though."

He smiled back. Well, at least she wasn't taking this whole temporarily-stuck-in-another-universe thing too badly.

"I've got quite a few people I'm missing, too. And..." Zouichi started scrolling down the list, scanning for familiar names. "...It looks like none of them made it here. Probably for the best."

He tilted the screen toward her. "See anyone familiar?"

Her face contracts in empathy when he doesn't find anybody he knows, and it shows in her voice, too.

"I'm sorry. That's awful."

She scans through the list as well, focused, until she looks back at him. "No, nobody." It's not precisely true, but she's used to worlds like this by now. People don't always remember their stays in other worlds, and if that's the case for the people she's recognizing, she doesn't want anybody to know she had known them in the first place.

"Thank you for showing me, though!"
