Hi everyone. Apollo here. I don't think I've met even half of you yet but I thought I’d share this:

IMG TRANSFER COMPLETE: exterior.jpg

Just in case anyone wanted to see what our new home really looks like.

Has anyone had any luck opening the locked doors? This place looks like it’s way bigger than what we have access to so far. Please do share with the rest of the class if you find anything interesting...

. . . What an ungainly shape.

[What a missed point.]

How the hell did you get that?

[solarcharged]

The insides aren't much to write home about either. Want to put in a complaint?

[boazjachin]

If there were someone to complain to who'd listen, I would gladly do so.

How did you get this picture?

[solarcharged]

I took a short flight out the airlock. I wouldn't generally recommend it if you're human.

[solarcharged]

Looks like there are a lot of decks we haven't got access to yet. We might find someone to complain to out there.

And I flew. Not all of us are strictly human on this station.

[1019]

Oh my god, another spaceman.
Well why the fuck did you come back, did you leave your baggage behind or something???
Or what was it, like scouting??

[boazjachin]

I've noticed. Those who aren't human that I've met still can't fly in space, though.

Did you see any ways in from the outside?

[solarcharged]

All the access points to the locked areas are still locked, even from the outside. Looks like the station isn't ready to give up her secrets just yet.

[solarcharged]

[ He stares at his comms device for a long few seconds before typing back a perplexed response: ]

This station is full of people who need to get home, not just me.

And I don't fancy flying the long way home, thanks very much.

So, yes, let's call it scouting the perimeter.

How does it look for durability on that side? Maybe a loading dock or something we could use as an entry point, if we hit it hard enough.

[ Erik take some time to examine the image. It helps make sense of some things he had sensed before, as well as confirm some suspicions. And of course, raise a great many questions that are unlikely to be answered any time soon. ]

Do you have any information to give us a sense of scale? What part of the structure are we on, near the top or somewhere in the spire?

[donkeyballs]

Well ain't you been busy, hoss.

At least I can safely say we ain't on a station I've ever seen before. The style ain't too unfamiliar, but if there were a station like that in the solar system, I'd know it.

How'd you get this?

I've begun making a map of the areas I've been through and marking locked doors. Knowing the shape of the ship now will help, at least with orientation.

Did you find a small ship or craft to take this?

[solarcharged]

I know a few people on here who would be really interested in helping you with that map, me included. Until we find something official, that's probably the best thing we'll have for navigating around.

No, I went out myself. Although that's a good point... For a space station this place is pretty suspiciously lacking in ships so far.

how did you go outside and survive?? did you find a suit

un: aqua

[aequoreal]

Do your powers extend to space flight?

[solarcharged]

Me neither. Interesting that you think the style is kind of familiar... though I guess there's only so many ways you can build a space station in the universe.

Not everyone needs a ship to go zooming around space, sailor.

[solarcharged]

It looks pretty tough. And I haven't been able to punch my way through anything on the inside so I doubt I'd be able to do it from the outside.

Good idea though. I do like ideas involving hitting things hard, as a rule.

[solarcharged]

No, no space suit needed. I haven't seen any suits at all yet actually. Which is weird, but I suppose the original people from this station have probably taken them with them.

[solarcharged]

Oh yes. Me and space are old friends. Admittedly not this bit of space exactly. I still have no idea where we are...

[aequoreal]

That is unfortunate, but it seems to be the norm. I have not encountered anyone familiar with this station or this system.

[spinals]

wow

wow??? you can go out without a suit?? how do you survive

[solarcharged]

I don't need breathe so I don't. I wouldn't recommend trying it.

[solarcharged]

The only thing we all have in common is no one has a clue where we are. Have you managed to do any exploring yet?
