Whistling in the Dark - Mod Plot [Log Post]
Who| Everyone who signed up!
What| Whistling in the Dark Plot. The gang has to deal with threats around Legion World and the possessed
Where| Everywhere!
When| After Ferro's post on the network
Warnings/Notes| N/A
Everywhere around the ship things start to fall apart. Aside from the juddering as it shakes, lights start turning off, life support starts failing, the artificial gravity starts malfunctioning, and strange bursts of energy from the ship's engine causes electronics to stop working. And that's not all: it seems like every possible system that could be acting up is acting up.
In short, Legion World is a mess. And all they know so far is that some of the support staff may be responsible and that they're also possibly possessed by some kind of alien infestation that occasionally makes their eyes flash black.
It's time to get answers -- something that will be difficult with all the threats they're facing on the ship. Not only do the Legionnaires have to survive, the support staff will occasionally need rescue, too.
With the rate that systems are failing, the odds are not in their favor, especially since these malfunctions caused the escape pods to automatically launch without any crew in them. They'll have to work fast to stop the threat before everyone on Legion World dies.

His accent was strange -- even unearthly. It was the kind of accent one had when they had a tongue trained for a language that even people with mandibles could speak. Interlac had very little in common with English and only barely anything in common with Earth languages with click consonants.
Fortunately, it was still understandable, even if some of his word choices were odd.
"Due to irregular usage and lack of habitual application my pronunciation and diction may be nonstandard and heteroclite. Do you still osmose?"
no subject
If they could communicate even a little bit, they had more important things to focus on. Parker dropped Brainy's hand and took off down the hallway to investigate what was around the next corner, footsteps all but soundless against the floor.
no subject
His "immersion" had been more than television and listening to people speak. He'd also read several dictionaries and thesauruses. He opted to try to pick the simplest language he could, and talked more slowly, in the way people did when sometimes dealing with someone who couldn't speak a language well.
He pointed up the hallway and started jogging.
"We go that way. Towards a maintenance hub."
no subject
"Do your face plates help you control your powers?"
The white things on his face didn't look like something his species just grew, and the whatever had shorted out their rings. If he was expecting his powers to work and they didn't, it was going to suck.
no subject
He reached a hand up to his face, grateful the shielding was working and ruing that he hadn't had time to work on the rest of their technology to shield it similarly.
"My intelligence renders my mind incapable of function without outside help."
He could only barely keep it together when his inhibitors were malfunctioning.
"Therefore, my implants have extra shielding. They are still functional. I have been meaning to add this to the other equipment but no time. Too much. Too much of --" Of everything. "--everything."
He barely had time to even think.
no subject
Until, very suddenly, they weren't anymore.
"Whoa!" Parker yipped, throwing her arms out as she found herself flying through the air again. "The rings--?!"
no subject
The word he was looking for wasn't "synthetic," it was "artificial" but his meaning was at least still clear.
Brainy extended a shield construct to one of the many bars through the ship that were meant to be used in case of a gravity failure, and pulled himself to it. He extended another shield construct and used it to guide Parker over to one of the bars as well. There were at least one of these horizontal ladders in every hallway, just a solid kick away from anyone facing Zero G.
He started pulling himself along using it.
"Follow. Maintenance hub can allow fixing or untouched area ahead will still have gravity function."

"Gravity functions here. Still must find maintenance hub to fix rest of hall functions. We may still also find lifeforms in proximity."
Red lights were on here, indicating that there were problems with the basic life support.
"Maintain vigilance. There may be life support damages. Subtle fallouts. C02 leakage. If you notice changing physical signs, say so. Shortness of breathing. Dizziness. This may be sign of life support problems."
no subject
Parker sprang back up to her feet, wondering irritably why gravity worked again, but her ring and her earplugs didn't.
"All right," she said, enunciating her words to be sure that Brainiac 5 could understand her. "I'll keep an eye out, because I definitely don't know how to fix any of this."
no subject
That was when things started to go wrong.
Red lights started to flash and klaxons started to blare as this section of the ship locked down. Massive, heavy, nearly unbreakable doors started to block off rooms. Fortunately, everyone was still in the hallway.
He yelled something at the staff in Interlac and turned back to Parker.
"Lockdown. Bad. It may be false alert but may be a possible life support deterioration. We must move ourselves and the staff out swiftly. There is risk of entrapment in failing conditions."
no subject
Parker fixed a brilliant smile on her face and clapped her hands three times.
"All right everybody, you heard the man! Let's go go go go!"
One of the members of the support staff had injured his (her?) leg. Parker ducked under the arm of their injured side and hauled them to their feet.
"Come on, time's a-wasting!"
no subject
As they ushered two of the last evacuees out under the rapidly closing doors they found themselves locked in.
"This way. Secondary doors."
They were going to need to book it. They didn't have time before all the doors to the second entrance closed as well.
no subject
They were like space suits, right? If they could survive the vacuum of space, they could take whatever Legion World could throw at them, right?
