This time it was different. You'd folded, you were all certain of that, but it felt different this time. Smoother, almost like traveling through a dream. Or maybe a nightmare. There had been visions, though none of you are able to remember them clearly right now. You all feel rested, but also violated. Stone and Starscream at least have the benefit of having seen the alterations to the fold drive, giving them a level of peace, an explanation for what might have caused the different experience.
And it was over fast, so very fast.
One minute you'd all been in your various parts of the ship (or outside it) and the next, you were still there, but you all knew things had changed.
This was especially true for the four of you who were outside the Integrity and had simply been caught in the fold radius. You all knew you were in space, but not deep space. You're not far from a planet, but it is not the same planet you were just on, and it's not Earth.
Starscream and Stone, you're still in Engineering.
Genius and Ares, you're still on the Bridge.
Bones, Doc Destiny, and our newly arrived Valkyrie, Stokes, are all outside the ship.
And Shepard, God apparently heard you. You're alive. In fact, not only are you alive, but there's no apparent trace of the Scouts that had been intent on murdering you moments before.
Starscream and Stone, Engineering is empty except for the Invid in Green.
Genius and Ares, the Bridge is empty except for the Invid in Yellow.
You'll all find that the comm lockdown has been lifted, which is why everyone's back in one thread, even with you all scattered all over the map. |

I groggily get to my feet, helping Scream as I do.
"Wha...What happened?" as I ask, I begin to do a internal system check of my cyclone. _________________ So's Your Face! |

Shepard blinks furiously, trying to make sure he's not hallicinating from the steep dive.
Sure that he is actually now in deep space, he quickly collects himself.
"Theta team, sound off! This is Shepard, and I could swear we're now in solar space..." |

As for what happened, the Invid aboard the Integrity activated the Fold Drive." _________________ So's Your Face! |

Broadcasting on channel
"Keep the god damn chatter down."
To the Invid:
"Looks like it worked. My team needs to regroup. Is there a place on this ship with sustained atmosphere that we can use for that? After that, maybe you'd care to explain just where in the hell you took us just now."
"Stone, I know you're not the expert, but go look over those consoles. See if you can figure anything out."
Back into the radio:
"Genius, if Ares is through with you, I'm thinking we could use you down here right about now. The rest of you stand by, I'll have a rendezvous location in a moment."
While I am saying that I am sending a military coded non audio message to everyone to meet in Engineering. ASAP. |

The Invid tilts his head for a moment, then responds. "Hangar Five should prove adequate." |

OK, per request from Jester (well, he didn't really request this but he sent me a text message and so I'm making a GM ruling) we're going to pretend he's had time to tell you all (you all being the folks outside of the spaceship) to go to Hangar Bay 5, and that you all actually did so. The process is a simple one, and once all of you have come aboard the Bay closes up and reintroduces breathable air (all without any visible crew...spooky!). Considering this is a fairly standard, albeit dated, design we'll continue assuming everyone was able to navigate their way safely from HB5 to engineering where you find Stone and Starscream being conversational with an Invid dressed in Green Robes.
If anything wants to have done something on the route from getting onboard the ship and getting to engineering, just send me a Private Message.
Otherwise, actions? |

Destiny shows up in Engineering and waits quietly for further orders. This shit is way above my pay grade. |

Ares looks around quickly and motions Genius away, switching solely to their helmet comms as he locks his Cyclone's visor down to ensure a steady O2 supply should his immediate concerns come true
"We've got no idea what's going on, we've come under attack, we've got a Tirolian-speaking girl who's so low on the command chain that anyone with a bar on the shoulder would outrank her, and now we've done what I can only guess is folded. Get your ass down to engineering and while you're at it do everything you can to get our people on the horn. This ship is a structural death trap and I don't plan on having my men die in a senseless waste."
Turning to face the current clusterfuck on the bridge, Ares backs up a bit with his weapon at the ready as he looks over the Invid to see if it has any clue on the external situation

"Aye Aye, Major."
(on our channel, pretty scrambled)
"Team Theta, this is Genius. Sound off and give status report and location. Use THIS channel until further notification; consider all others compromised, and use accordingly. Report any movements of yourself or 'Invid' on this channel; report own movements on open channel simultaneously. Genius out." _________________ Dr. Otto Octavius: I will not die a monster. |

Still not being sure what is going on here, I'll be the good one and just head down to Engineering without getting lost. |

I'd like to say the Invid in Green was waiting for the group to arrive, but the GM just honestly forgot about that additional part of your post.
Either way, since no one's sent me any PM's, I'm going to assume everyone has made their way to engineering (cept maybe Ares, 'cause while he's made no attempts to contact the Invid in Yellow that I saw, he may not be willing to leave him alone on the bridge either. I'll let him make that call).
I've got a wedding reception today, so when I get back from that I'll post up for the Invid in Green, and until then give you all a few hours to socialize amongst yourselves. |

Now that everyone (save Ares, who's staying on the bridge with the Invid in Yellow) has assembled in engineering.
