With a creaking groan on Saturday morning, the stasis bay door finally opens up, revealing a broad, clean hallway and a lit sign overhead that says WELCOME TO THE CSS EUDORA. Lining the walls, you'll find that there are square lockers to grab your non-sentient belongings that weren't inside of your cold sleep pod (your home item and two changes of clothes from your canon). Along with those, you will find that your belongings have been carefully set inside of a sleek, black courier bag, nestled in among a few welcome gifts waiting for you! Upon opening it up, you'll find the following items to use as you see fit:

🪐 A luxurious eyemask, to block out the haters (and any solar flares)
🪐 A handkerchief, with hand-stitched embroidery.
🪐 A mini radio that plays some old tunes from the 90s and back, it also works as a bluetooth speaker for I.R.I.S.
🪐 A moon lamp, to provide some comforting light
🪐 A simple, but useful, multi-tool, closed when you find it
🪐 A small, refillable medical kit, pre-packed for your potential bumps and bruises (1 minor heal)
🪐 A few packets of freeze-dried fruit, to chase away the immediate munchies
🪐 A mini craft cocktail kit, to drink away your troubles (made into a mocktail kit if you are below 21)

Take your time to familiarize yourself with your new surroundings and freshen up in the communal bathroom that's been made available. You will also find that your living quarters have been neatly arranged along a hallway, just waiting for you to find your name on the door—meet your roommate!

Why, you can even enjoy an informative slideshow presentation that plays in the mess hall on all of the screens! It might not be a very big one, but the world of the CSS Eudora is your oyster for a few hours. There's plenty of time between the auspicious announcement and 1500 hours for you to get to know your fellow junior crewmates.

Welcome to the second part of our introductory weekend, this time featuring some of your new home and a few special surprises. Have a look around your brand new home, and if you have any questions, we will field them in the server.

🚀 Your I.R.I.S. and you! Characters will find that their I.R.I.S. communications device is now up and fully functioning. There are quite a few features for you to explore, including crew member profiles. Why not have a look and see just what kind of information has been compiled about you? And who exactly you're working with. The I.R.I.S. itself also comes witih a handy dandy guide explaining all of its fun features.

🚀 Some things to look out for include two events that will occur today and tomorrow. The first event will begin on (2/24) - 12PM PST | 3PM EST, and the second event will follow on (2/25) - 12PM PST | 3PM EST, so stay tuned for a ping in the server. Even if you are busy today, please feel free to tag in at a later time.

[Wow guess who immediately tries to hack the I.R.I.S. and gets shocked about it]

Ow!

[bossbabygirl]

[same]

Ow! Hey!

[rav3n]

[HELLO ROOMIE]

Maybe a different way...

[bossbabygirl]

Really, I just want to extend the communication range. Is that so problematic?

[rav3n]

[He fiddles with it some more and gets SHOCKED again... this time he doesn't jump, he just "tch"s.]

Looks like they don't want us calling for help.

[riverbeans]

Yikes! You okay?

[rav3n]

Yeah, I'm fine. [Just ANNOYED] It looks like their security is pretty tight.

[riverbeans]

What were you trying to do?

[rav3n]

I was trying to bypass their security and take a look at their internal systems. [Nyeh]

[riverbeans]

[the blank expression of someone who's not quite sure what that means]

... So, trying to take over?

[rav3n]

[Luke misses it since he's still messing with the IRIS... he gets zapped again, but he doesn't flinch this time, just clucks his tongue in annoyance.]

No, just trying to get a message out. [But he's not, like, Themis-flavored NASA or anything so it's questionable if he could manage it even if he wasn't getting punishment zapped.]

[messy]

[HELP

just watches him get shocked.]

What just happened?

[rav3n]

They don't want people hacking into their systems, apparently.

[Tries again anyway]

[messy]

[





she takes a picture of him getting zapped]

[rav3n]

--Hey!

[messy]

It's a reflex!

[pyromance]

[ he's not mean enough to ask luke to do it again, but the way diluc is looking at him one can get the sense he kind of wants to see it happen again, from a purely observational standpoint ]

...Curious. What did you do?

[rav3n]

[It's okay, he doesn't have to ask because Luke is going to try again anyway. He's not going to try enough to get locked out but he is definitely not giving up that easily.]

I'm trying to get through the system, but it looks like they've got pretty strong security.

[pyromance]

[ LUUUUKEEE!! diluc looks maybe a little concerned but it's hard to tell when his face is what it is. ]

You're familiar with this technology, then?

[ luke is a SCI-FI MAN? ]

[rav3n]

[IT'S FINE... he gets shocked again and just takes it with a "tsk," but he stops for now, crossing his arms with a sigh.]

It's more advanced than I'm used to. [He doesn't like admitting it because he's a competitive little baby but. It is an unfortunate fact.] I can probably figure something out, but it'll take time... and I'm not sure how much I can do without my own equipment.

[pyromance]

[ ...just watches him get shocked again. ]

...It's impressive you can make anything of it at all. [ mondstadt doesn't even have horses much less spaceships. ]

And if you were to find other equipment?

[ maybe not luke's personal inventory, but something else around the ship. ]

[artificialsweetener]

Oh, be careful! [IT'S TOO LATE FOR THE WARNING.] It does that every time! It's a real pain!

[PAIN (LITERAL). He really tried multiple rapid succession hacks and then gave up because he's a baby.]

[rav3n]

[IT'S TOO LATE!!! Damn Dahut is relatable though, because that's exactly what Luke is going to do... except he's going to give up because he doesn't want to get locked out and have to do an embarrassing password reset with the NPCs, which I guess is just a different form of baby.]

Nanotech explains a lot. [TCH!!!]

[artificialsweetener]

[HELP NOT THE DOUBLE BABIES.]

Nanotech! A headache! But I guess it really does answer a few things, doesn't it?

[rav3n]

I knew they operated on us. [PROVEN RIGHT BUT ALSO BAD!!!! Granted it's possible they just got it injected or whatever but listen. Close enough. INVASIVE, IS THE POINT.] I definitely wouldn't have agreed to any of this.

[Like. He knew that. But now he super knows that]
