open Journey Through Space (Reboot)

⁂ Sinu waits in the shelter of the maglev train station, from the blustering wind and snow of Equestria's Arctic North. He has been there for a while, waiting for his future crewmates to arrive on the next train. The tram would arrive after, to take them all to the Equestrian Space Organisation (ESO)'s mission and research headquarters so they could be trained. He is a young physicist who had volunteered to join a mission to explore and conduct experiments on the extraterrestrial worlds throughout the galaxy, on the first spacecraft to utilise faster than light technology. After vigorous testing, he was one of only several ponies who qualified for it.

Presently, Sinu begins to shake neurotically. He had gotten to the train station so early due to anxiety about the overall operation; he doesn't know who he will work with, what he will be expected to do, or what might happen to him on the mission. Even worse, how he will greet his new crewmates.

Two ponies approached from opposite halls. On the left, a grey mare enters taking a seat near the tram gate. Star Chaser simply gave a nod to the fellow pony.

With loud clops of his hooves entering from the right hall enters another pony, Gizmo bobbed his head about, swaying around as he danced about to his loud electronic music from his wireless buds, he grins happily oblivious to his fellow crew as he continues dancing.

Florafilla is just sitting comfortably along one of the numerous seats in the train station as she waits for the crew to get on the next train. She is a patient mare and has spent the majority of the wait watching over the little pot of a young blue daisy that she brought along with her. She hoped the others wouldn't mind. She simply can't leave her home without bringing a little flower with her. She didn't even know exactly what she was getting into. All she was told is that she could be of great assistance for this opportunity.

⁂ Sinu looks around at the few ponies who have arrived, one dancing, one with a flower, and one just walking. Noticing that they were obviously waiting for the same thing as he was, he momentarily forgot how nervous he was and decided to break the ice. "The weather is wonderful, isn't it?"

Star looked over to the stallion, she didn't want to seem awkward to simply be silent.

"Eh... Its snow." She simply says,

"I'd rather be back out in open space." She says. That was usually all she could think of, perhaps it was always a common want if Pegasi to always be flying in some fashion.

Gizmo continued to dance about, swaying his flank in rhythm before accidentally stumbling.

He quickly stands up blushing a bit embarrassed.

"Umm.. Hehe hiya." He says taking out his buds.

[Dsanders 5,742]

"Oh umm ... yeah I agree! The weather is nice and cool today. Though I prefer summer weather." Florafilla replied, enthusiastically trying to make conversation with the shy stallion. She smiled in fascination upon seeing the snow.

 

"Umm, so do you happen to know what we are here for? I'm kind of lost. They didn't tell me much other than that I would be of important use to you guys." She asked confusedly.

"I heard it was simple Planetary investigations, you know checking for habitable planets, or at least ones suited for terraformation." Star Chaser answers leaning about next to the wall.

"Get to have my hooves upon a M Class cruiser.." She whispers to herself anticipating the thrill.

"Umm, space stuff yeah! Hehe I don't know I just fix everything." Gizmo speaks, "Hi there I'm Gizmo! Nice to meet you!" He says happily.

[Sinusoid 37]

⁂ Sinu looks at the pony laying on the ground, blushing. He would probably make blunders like that more often if he wasn't so socially anxious, and therefore conscious. To reply to both ponies about the snow, he says, "This is my favorite kind of weather, accept for dark and foggy; I would be out there right now if I didn't have this cargo vest with all of my tech devices." Then, he responds to the confused green mare; "Obviously, you have had to go through vigorous testing to be accepted into this mission; you must be pretty talented. It was also required that we sign a contract, stating that on this mission, we'll be risking life and limb. They weren't kidding, either; the ship's cargo hold even contains prosthetic hooves and legs, a bone saw, and tendon attachment points." With that, he begins shaking more, and his heart rate goes up; just another anxiety attack for absolutely no reason.

"Habitable planets ... y-you mean we're going to look for other worlds besides this one!? I was never informed about this! It sounds really exciting but rather scary at the same time." Florafilla responded in surprise. She couldn't believe what she was getting into. The thought of going on an adventure like this have her much excitement as well as fear.

 

And ... what is terraforming if you don't mind me asking?" The mare asked intrigued by this new and strange term.

 

She then turns to notice a stallion greeting her and happily responds. "Oh hi there Gizmo! I ... I just grow plants and tend gardens hehe!"

"Oh oh! That's a very complicated process! Basically its all about making an atmosphere on a planet on one that otherwise that can't produce one. " Gizmo quickly answers happily.

 

"Didn't they teach that in the agricultural department?" Star asks.

Gizmo smiles happily, this is good making friends already.

Well I vividly remember going through a number of the tests. I didn't quite understand why I had to go through all that. A lot of the tests involved me ... showing them my talent. Now I sort of understand why. I just hope I can survive ... She laughs a little nervously.

"Well I might have heard a bit about it. I remember learning about how to plant gardens in different atmospheric conditions." Florafilla makes a sheepish smile.

⁂ Sinu looks over to Gizmo, already seeming quite happy-go-lucky, and exhibiting a personality opposite to his own. He holds out his hoof for a hoofshake; "Nice to meet you. I'm Sinusoid Mixolydian, but you can call me Sinu; I'll be the physicist for this mission." He pauses for a moment; "It appears that you like music. I happen to be a songwriter, and I have an album you might want to look at."

"Yeah! Music is just like my past time thing. I'd totally wouldn't mind taking a listen. Ya got it on storage?" He asks as he shakes his hoof, Noting on his forehoof is a keyboard like device.

Star returns to her usual quietness looking back out to the window watching the tram rails and to the expanding station mainly at the hangar.

[Dsanders 5,742]

Florafilla notices that Gizmo appears to be currently occupied in another conversation. She looked at him with a slight smile, feeling happy that she got to greet him. She was looking forward to getting to know all of her crew mates in this mission. She was immensely excited and nervous altogether about the idea of going to space. The tests she had to go through suddenly made more sense. She even recalls being asked about her dress size and her threshold of pain. She felt that it was going to take her a while to fully comprehend the fact that she'll be leaving this world soon. She sighs at the thought of having to leaving all of her gardens and assortments of flowers here. She knows that she is going to especially miss them.

 

"I just hope that I can bring you along, Marina." Florafilla says to her little daisy in a low voice.

[Sinusoid 37]

⁂ Sinu responds to Gizmo; "Indeed I do." He reaches into one of his cargo pockets and pulls out a mid-sized flexible touch screen device (similar to a thin iPad mini that folds up). "I write all of my songs on this Polypad, and I can wirelessly play them to your earbuds." He then touches the screen a few times, and begins playing a song he wrote when he was thirteen.

Gizmo smiles as he listens to the track.

"Nice! I wuv it!" He responds happily, holding up his forehoof a holoscreen screen appears above his keypad.

"Sinu I sent you an email link. Send a copy there I'd love to add this to my library." He says.

(To confess, my phone isn't compatible with soundcloud so uhhh I couldn't listen to your song ^^")

[Dsanders 5,742]

Florafilla turns her head once again towards the two ponies and looks at their fancy devices curiously. Having lived within the heart of a forest for several years, she wasn't quite used to all this new technology. Nonetheless, it fascinated her.

 

Not wanting to disturb them, she sings a little song to herself to which her daisy actually responds to as it subtly sways back and forth to the rhythm of the tune.

I posted my older songs on YouTube, so it should work on your phone.}

 

⁂ Sinu realizes that he had socialized for quite enough. He sits back down in a chair far away from the others, gets out his "old" wired headphones, and puts them in the audio jack of his Polypad. He then folds up the device and puts it back in his pocket, listening to one of his unfinished songs, and stares out of the window thoughtfully. With his music and a window, Sinu won't get bored for hours.

Gizmo took a seat next to Sinu, feeling comfortable with his company. With buds back in his ears he returns to his usual habit of bobbing his head, slightly bouncing about in his seat.

 

Star felt a slight vibration around her neck, hidden away in her neck scarf was a small ear piece. She places it in her ear.

"Go ahead." She says, the audio is in audible for the others.

"Mr. Richey you'll get your share. You're guaranteed by law. Once I get mine I'll pay off the rest of the loan- no! Don't pull those lame insults, I didn't take 4 years and 6 months of external and simulated flight training... I'm getting the flight job." Her eyes narrow her tone becoming aggressive.

"This conversation is over." She pulls out the ear piece,

"Celestia sake..." She mutters

[Sinusoid 37]

⁂ Sinu looks away from the window momentarily, as he feels the slight movement in the seat next to his, to see Gizmo jamming out. Sinu gets a bit anxious, seeing a pony sitting so close to him without talking, so he moves several more seats away; to be more alone, and hoping that Gizmo doesn't notice.

[FancyHorse 1,208]

Gizmo remains unaware of his position, still focused upon his ritually dancing apparently.

 

Star looked over to Sinu,

"Crowds ain't really my thing either." She says wanting to sound relatable.

"Were you from? You look like your from Canterlot." She asks

[BlinkZ 1,151]

A Gold mane unicorn with a green hat walked down the platform.  On his back was a dark brown saddlebag filled with a few tools and other nessessities.  He entered the train contimplating his current goal.  He soon entered the train and noticed the few others nearby.  Unfortinalty due ot bein lost in his thoughts he tripped over a suitcase and tumbled to the floor grunting in annoyance.

 

engineer or plilot whatever you want me as)

[Dsanders 5,742]

Florafilla stopped her singing immediately as she saw a new stallion coming trying to make his way in the train and trip. She quickly got off her seat and helped the stallion up. He looked like he was going to be part of the crew.

 

"Oh are you okay ... umm what's your name? You seem to be here for the same reason as the rest of us." The mare said and giggled as she was helping the stallion back onto his fours.

Gold blushed lightly feeling a bit silly about his trip. He adjusts his hat before replying. "Oh I'm Gold Rush and yes indeed I have been recurited for the journey."  He holds out his hoof for a shake, giving a friendly grin at the mare. "Nice to me you."

[Sinusoid 37]

⁂ Sinu responds to Star; "Actually, no. I was born in Whinnyapolis and have lived in Manehattan for a long time, working as an applied physicist for the ESO. However, I never thought I'd actually be a part of one of its missions; today is nearly a dream come true." He continues subtly shaking with excitement, as he looks over to see a grey and gold stallion, talking to the green mare. "Well, it looks like we have another crew member."
