Having recently boarded your new ship with your new crew, you take a moment to look around.
Standing in the main hub, various terminals to control the ship can be seen around. The hangar containing the team's mechs can be seen branching off as well. Then there are the private quarters for each squad member. Finally, there's the engine room. Everything else seems accessible from the main hub area. Weapon systems, navigation systems, etc. There's a terminal in the center of the room for holographic projections such as maps when detailing plans and mission briefings. Hm...? There seems to be another room in here you can't access. Under reparations or something from the last crew that used this ship. Oh well. The room provides a view of space all around you as well. It's kinda pretty actually. All the stars and stuff.
You take a moment to look around at your crew. There should be twelve of you.
Your commander is a short and unimposing woman, wearing a dark cloak over her uniform. Her eyes are purple and her blonde ponytail is wrapped around her neck. There's a notable scar on her face as well.
Your knight looks to be the oldest of you all. A tall and muscular man with graying hair and various battle scars. Some of you may recognize him as Gawain, a veteran HUNTER that has taken down more than a few criminals in his day.
Your berserker is a woman with long, green hair and heterochromatic eyes. She's wearing some kind of high tech trench coat and has a very serious look. You probably wouldn't want to get on her bad side. You note the double headed cheetah symbol on her coat.
Your ranger is a quiet man, taking to the side and inspecting a gun rather than interacting with the other crew members. He dresses in an almost bandit-like fashion. Light, black and green clothing with a pointed, green hat and bandages wrapped around his face to cover his mouth.
Your rogue's identity is completely unknown to you. They wear a full body suit of technologically advanced armor that covers their body and their face in a way you can't tell anything about them. Their armor is sleek and black. They could blend in with the shadows really easily. They seem to be standing there, watching everyone.
Your mage is a young man, likely fresh out of the academy. He's wearing standard HUNTERS equipment as opposed to everyone else's custom gear. Light cyber armor colored black and white. He doesn't seem to be wearing his helmet, allowing you to see his strange face and hair. One of his eyes appears to be some kind of cybernetic enhancement, replacing a lost one. Half of his hair is colored black while the other half is colored white as well. Aside from that, you notice one of his arms is made entirely out of metal. That entire arm of his armor has been torn off to leave it completely revealed it seems. He's excitedly pestering Gawain, having recognized who he is.
Your psychic is a woman that's likely also just out of the academy. Instead of wearing armor, she simply wears a shirt displaying the academy logo along with a skirt. She's notably tall and has silvery white hair. Rather plain, but all psychics are interesting once you get to know them.
Your medic looks like he's from an alien race or something. He's got light purple skin along with horns resembling a bull, maybe? His hair is a darker purple and long enough to reach down to slightly below the shoulders. His eyes are a yellow color and seem to glow a little bit. You notice he's got a long and thin tail as well, trailing behind him. He wears a white lab coat over a white button shirt and carries a bag with a medical symbol over his shoulder with him. He's currently shifting through his medical supplies, making sure he has everything.
Your hexer is a strange...man, maybe? He wears dark, flowing garments that completely cover his body along with a hood. Even when you get a glimpse at his face, it's covered by a mask. He's hunched over slightly and you can see what look like cowboy boots sticking out underneath his clothes. Strange...
Your engineer is a young woman from the academy. Her hair is red with a few random highlights here and there and you take note of her slightly darker skin.
Your explorer looks to be some sort of android. He doesn't really look that different from a normal person, but you can tell he's an android because of the glowing, blue eyes. Aside from that, he appears fairly normal, wearing a black suit and tie outfit. His black hair is combed back in a slick look. His attention seems focused on the commander at the moment.
Your dragoon is another new recruit from the academy. A woman with dark skin and a fire in her eyes. Her hair is decently long and she wears standard HUNTERS equipment with a yellow and black color instead of white and black like the mage. Her eyes are red, which is strange, but whatever. Someone else had purple eyes or something. She looks excited to get moving, but notices a familiar girl from her class.
Well, that's everyone. The ship already seems to be on course to that broken satellite. You've got time before you reach there. Maybe there's some preparing to do...
Eurya
Nobody seems to be bothering you. Actually, most people might be avoiding you. You look kind of scary, honestly. There's still time until the ship reaches your destination. Best not to waste the time standing around.
Melfein
Nobody seems to be bothering you. Actually, most people might be avoiding you. You look kind of scary, honestly. There's still time until the ship reaches your destination. Best not to waste the time standing around.
Max
Nobody seems to be bothering you. You're pretty much free to do whatever you like. You actually notice a few people you recognize from your class here. But at the same time, you're the engineer. It couldn't hurt to do a diagnostic check on the ship and all...
Aya
The explorer immediately walks over to you and begins speaking. "Hello, I am Investigative Unit #227. Pleased to make your acquaintance. What is your name?"
Gawain
Almost the moment the mage notices you, you find yourself being poked and bombarded with questions. "Whoa, are you Gawain? Where'd you get that scar from? Are you part of our team? Did you go to the academy? What role are you? Do you have a mech? Can you fly a ship? Have you ever seen a black hole in person before? What's Quadrant III look like? What element did your mage have in your old squad? Tell me some stories about the criminals you caught!" He seems very excited to meet you in person.
Christina
The dragoon, who you recognize as a girl from your class, immediately walks over to you. You remember her name is Lyko. "Christina...? Shouldn't you be in jail or something after what happened with those other guys?"

Max lights up with excitement. She looks at her left arm gauntlet. The black gear is surrounded by a glowing outline that changes color to match her mood. She designed this piece herself. She punches a few buttons to look at a map of the ship.
She then follows her holographic map to do an engine check and systems check.

Christina shrugged at the suggestion of being in jail. I was in jail for a while actually. Apparently, someone in the academy thought having a physic join the team was better then having them rot in jail. Plus I can get revenge on that back stabbing bastards. If you ask me I much prefer this then rotting in some jail cell.

"Oh, uh, hello. 227. It's nice to meet you. I'm, uh, Aya. Commander. Aya. Commander Aya." Aya Commander Aya Commander Aya leans and looks over 227's shoulder, unsure whether call after the departing engineer or approve of her initiative. So she hesitates and says nothing.

Eurya advances towards Gawain, puts her hand perpendicular to her forehead and strike a military pose.
"Sir! Glad to meet a military hero sir!"
She relaxes immediately afterwards and walk towards the exit, as she notices the Hexer walking towards her. She stops to let him approach.
"I am Eurya, sir. Glad to meet you... You will excuse me as this introduction might seem lackluster to you. I never had the right to have a last name.
I have indeed built this suit myself in order to avoid wasting time putting my armor on and off between missions. This trench coat is also my defense against our enemies.
Answering the rest of your question would make me a snitch, which is the worst offense for my people. You will excuse me for keeping this confidential, as the alternative will only lead us in making powerful enemies we don't have the luxury to afford.
You can always ask the commander if he has answers I cannot give you.
Now, if you wish to discuss further, I will ask you to follow me to the armory as I want to verify our equipment before we leave."

You open up the interface on the holographic display in the center of the room, doing a scan and check on the entire ship. Everything certainly seems to be in order. There are no detected anomalies aboard the ship, which is good. It means you don't have to worry about it randomly breaking down in the middle of space, resulting in the squad's inevitable death.
You decide to be safe and head down to the engine room, looking over everything. It's all functioning as it should be! Great! Daily maintenance is an important part of any engineer's duty!
Aya
"It is a pleasure to meet you Aya Commander Aya Commander Aya." 227 shakes your hand. "As the commander I believe you are most qualified to assist me in discovering which actions are necessary for me to take in the moment. How may I assist you?"
Christina
"Huh...You think a professor bailed you out? Well, I guess it doesn't matter. Good to see you aren't rotting in jail forever." She leans back on a wall and sighs. "Maaaaan, waiting around is boring. When are we going to get somewhere?" She seems a bit impatient. You recall she was like this at the academy too. Usually the one to shoot first and ask questions later in mission simulations.

...I'm gonna need to know a little bit more about the world to answer those questions, so I'll start by asking some questions of my own pic.
1: How much is the range on the criminals they go after? Is it usually one or two very specific crimes, or just anyone who's committed something serious enough to be highly wanted?
2: Mechs aren't common among HUNTERs, right? I'm assuming Gawain's answer to that question will be no.
3: Is space travel advanced enough that escapin the pull of a black hole is even remotely feasible, or is that as much of a death sentence as real life?
4: What DOES Quadrant III look like, anyway?
As for Eurya, Gawain will return the salute.

"You can just call me... Right. Yes. Well. Anyway. We should, uh... Give everyone a chance to get acclimated to the new ship. Introduce themselves. Put things in their quarters. And check their stations. Then we need to report in, get our next assignment, and get underway." Aya pauses to think. "So... I'm going to... check out the bridge. And you can... explorer. Help anyone who can't find their way around the ship?"

As for Eurya, Gawain will return the salute. 1. Pretty much anyone with a bounty on their head. Usually high ranking squads go after the highest bounties instead of the small fries though. So there could be some sizable villains and also petty thieves. 2. Mechs are pretty common. You've all got one in your hangar customized to fit each role. 3. You're pretty much fucked if you drive too close to a black hole. 4. Quadrant III looks pretty much the same as the other quadrants. It's just more space and the farthest quadrant from the academy. |

Gawain laughs a bit in response to the barrage of questions.
"Easy there, let's take these one or two questions at a time. Yes, I'm Gawain. This scar was given by a guard for a large scale drug runner. I'm your team's knight, I've been filling that role all the way back to my days in the academy. Gringolet's back at the hangar, but I wouldn't be know the first thing about flying any of these modern ships. Quadrant III's nice, space is space but there's an Ice planet there with the most beautiful sunsets you'll ever see although I can't seem to remember which planet it is. Nimue specialized in water magic, although I haven't really heard from her much since her and Merlin had that big falling out. As for your question about black holes... I'm sorry, but I don't think you'll find anyone who saw one up close and lived to tell the tale."

"I am not sure if a professor would have enough pull to get a known criminal out of jail,". Not that I am complaining whoever gave me a choice. Use my powers and join the academy and maybe a Hunter one day or spend the rest of my days in jail. Wasn't a tough decision?
Christina then sorta of shoulder shrug and waved her hands almost as if to change the subject.
Anyways yeah I can't wait to get started and finally get a chance to use my powers for good. How about you nervous about our first mission? I heard it's really hard to be a Dragoon so are you extra nervous about that?

Melfein shakes his head (probably) "Inntressting well if pryying woulld cauuse ssuch dissasterous ressults I'd besst satte my currioussity elsewhere and please don't feel bad about the introductioon I hadd no namme untiil I tooke one bessides I can only call you one thing at a timme after all last namess can be redundent" with that he slinks off to his private quarters.

"Have a nice day, sir!"
Eurya proceeds to the armory.

Aya
"Very well then, Right Yes Well Anyway, I will assist the others in any way I can." 227 leaves you alone for the moment, giving you some time to look around the bridge, where you currently are. The engineer seems to have left the map of the ship open on the holographic display.
Gawain
The mage's eyes seem to practically shimmer listening to you. Or...wait, that might just be the mechanical one. "Whoaaa...! So cool...! My name's Zazel. I'm a metal mage! And one day I'll be a legendary HUNTER just like you!"
Christina
"Nervous? Pfft. Nah. I'm never nervous! You just gotta charge right ahead! Don't think too much about it. Just crush the enemies and you won't even have to be worried. But uh...this is just a boring satellite repair mission, isn't it?"
Melfein
You enter your own private quarters, finding it rather cozy although simple. For the most part, it's a basic room for you to personalize yourself.
Eurya
You enter the armory and take a look around. It all seems like pretty standard equipment. Basic blasters, some cyber weaponry, a couple grenades and such, and some basic exploring equipment. Ropes and such. Oh, not to mention standard armor like the academy rookies are wearing.
