Hey there from the Hyacinth 7!

My name is Casey Hart, I use they/them pronouns, and I'm the only survivor of Hyacinth 7.

Our mission is to go as far into space as we can to figure out what something is. Quite a few things have happened so far...

We were sent up after a new phenomenon started to... disrupt things, after the Petrova problem was solved..

If you want to chat, I'd be more than happy to.

I'll probably set up some rules tomorrow, but for now, I'll open asks and hit the hay for a bit.

Another spacecraft is detected. It's oddly shaped and rather large, with letters on the outside spelling HYACINTH-7

It's definitely from Earth. Mary chimes in with "Hyacinth-7 detected." and switches to a transmission from the ship. The transmission starts as someone laughing, then they speak.

"Heya space cowboy, Hyacinth 7 crew here. You seem... alive.."

They start cry-laughing, happy and shocked, and finally having someone to talk to.

"You wanna come on over here and chat about what's happened aboard the Hail Mary? I got plenty of food and a lot more to say. It would be nice to hear someone talk again.."

@hyacinth-7mission

The last thing Grace was expecting on his trip with Rocky back to Erid was another spaceship, much less a human one. But, there it was. Pulling up with a very human sounding transmission just— inviting him over to talk.

Rocky was startled, and chirping excitedly, but Grace quickly quieted him and told him to hang out in the lab until everything is figured out. The Hyacinth-7 crew might not take to an alien very well.

Hurrying up to the control room, Grace turned off the auto drive, and went and fumbled for the radio. “—ah, is this.. on— yes! Okay, hello! This is the Hail Mary—! I was not expecting to hear another human being out here— hah—“ Grace managed out awkwardly.

“But, yes! Yes, I would very much like to come over to chat. Where’s… where’s your airlock?” Grace squinted out the window, latching himself into the pilot’s seat so he could bring the ship closer to the Hyacinth-7.

[hyacinth-7mission]

They're giggling on the other end of the transmission, like they just saw a friend after years apart.

"Let me send a thing over- I can already tell where yours is."

A blueprint of the ship is sent over. It's larger than the Hail Mary, but on the diagram, it shows the airlock. Before Grace can even respond, the ship does a complex almost ballerina-like maneuver to sync up their airlocks.

It spins as it passes over the Hail Mary, then flips over so what seems to be the front of the ship matches to the back of the Hail Mary.

[dr-rylandgrace]

Grace blinked and took a look out of the window to see the other ship spin around and line up their airlocks seamlessly.

“Huh,” he said dumbly. “Alright. That was fast.” After staring at the ship for a moment, he shook himself mentally and started down towards the area adjacent to the airlock to get ready. He turned a communications panel on down there as well.

“Do you have a way to seal the connection point? I think— I think I’ve got something, or I could suit up and seal the airlocks behind me…” Grace offered, grimacing at his messy hair in a small reflection in the glass hole of the entrance to the airlock.

Just then, Rocky hurried down into the room, chirping out some questions until Grace hurried over, shushing him. “No— no, it’s a human. You’re staying here, I don’t know how they’ll feel about an alien—“ he whispered, urging him back towards the lab.

[hyacinth-7mission]

A robotic, masculine voice chirps a few moments after the ship moves. "Air lock connected. Hello Hail Mary."

There's something making a seal over the airlocks now.

"Come on over!" Casey says over the radio.

[dr-rylandgrace]

“Wh— alright, then,” Grace said, a bit startled at how fast the other ship was able to hook up to the Hail Mary.

Grace opened up the hatch into the airlock, drifting inside while taking some nervous breaths and closing it behind him. After turning off a couple of warning systems about opening up the other side without depressurization— luckily, he figured that out before when he did this all with Rocky— Grace wrenched the door open.

Opening up into the Hyacinth-7.

“Hello..?” He said, peeking inside.

[hyacinth-7mission]

The doors on the Hyacinth-7 side open up and he's in a sort of hallway now. one way seems to go to a larger, open space, and the other seems to go to the controls.

There are drawings taped on the walls in places and paint splatters on the floor in others. Someone with long, messy blue hair runs up to him from the controls. There's music playing- All Wound Up by She Wants Revenge.

"Hi!!!! Welcome aboard! Babygirl, pause the music!"

"Yes sir. Music paused." that robot voice responds.

[dr-rylandgrace]

Grace stepped in slowly, taking in the space one bit at a time. It was chaotic, but just… lived in. Art and supplies everywhere— not to mention the exciting tone from the other person. Wow, he didn’t realize how much he missed seeing human beings until now.

Silently, he tried to figure out a way to have casual skin to skin contact so he could make sure they were real. A handshake would work, right?

“Hi—!” Grace said, his voice more wheezy than the excited tone he was trying to mimic. Anxiety is the worst. “I’m, uh— I’m Ryland Grace. And you’re another real human. Huh.”

He shook himself slightly, sticking out a hand. “Nice to meet you, stranger—!” He added a small, awkward laugh.

[hyacinth-7mission]

"Casey Hart, I'm happy to not be the only human in this part of space."

They're bouncing as they stand in front of him. They shake his hand, smiling so much to see he's real.

"Can I hug you? Is that weird? god i miss hugs.."

[dr-rylandgrace]

“Yeah, I’m— I’m really glad, too,” he laughed halfheartedly, looking startled but relieved. The second their hands touched, he felt like he was shaking. They were real. Grace wasn’t crazy.

“A— hug? I haven’t… not even before— I uh, sorry, yeah, yes. I’m good with a hug,” Grace stammered out awkwardly, his brain not catching up with the reality of the situation.

…he should also be wondering more about why there was another human sent to space, but he was more worried about seeing another person.

[hyacinth-7mission]

They hug him, lifting him slightly as they Do, they hug hard.

"This is so confusing... do you want something to drink? I have coffee."

[dr-rylandgrace]

Grace was a bit startled at the tightness of the hug, but reciprocated it after a second, and letting go when the other did. He blinked.

“Uh— yeah, sure,” he agreed. “So… how did you get out here?”

[hyacinth-7mission]

They pause for a moment at the question, smiling weakly, then starting to brew coffee.

"It's a long story. Complicated too. I think I'm still putting a few pieces together myself, so I'll ask you this, How much do you want to know?"

@hyacinth-7mission

[Ryland heard it. He quickly got into his Clear Xenonite suit and ran to the Hail Mary. Flashlight in hand, he got to the control panel.] HELLO!? This is Captain Dr. Ryland Grace of the Hail Mary. You're from the Hyacinth-7? Are you able to land on Erid? I'll tell the Eridians that we need more Xenonite suits... Unless you have some sort of upgraded flight suits that allow you to not be crushed in Eridian atmosphere... I have so many questions... [He didn't know that there was only one person]

(I'm guessing the Hail Mary is outside of the biodome) @hyacinth-7mission

[hyacinth-7mission]

They pause for a moment, then seem to figure something out.

"Gimme .. ehhh 20 minutes?"

They seem to move away from the microphone to do something. about 15 minutes later, something ejects from the ship to land on Erid. It lands near his dome, it's small and shaped like a tube with points on both ends.

A minute after it lands, they crawl out of one end in a space suit. they seem to be trying to figure out how to get into the dome.

[project-amaze]

[The planet of Erid is very far, you see a slightly human-like shape running towards the tube with a flashlight] Hello! Oh fudge, I haven't seen another human in a long time. Oh, right, the whole crushing atmosphere thing... Hold right where you are. [The figure would run back, and after a while, they would run back with an oddly shaped suit, kinda like the one they were wearing. Once he gets close enough, you see Ryland.] Here, put this on so the Eridian atmosphere doesn't crush you. [He hands you the Clear Xenonite suit]

[hyacinth-7mission]

They run over to him giggling.

"Oh man, you're real! Can i hug you? Wait i might crush you in this- its been so long since I've had a hug."

their suit seems to withstand the gravity of Erid with ease, but they smile at being given the suit.

[project-amaze]

Oh okay... Your suit can stand the crushing atmosphere... [He crouched down to look at the flight suit] I don't suggest taking your helmet off... How's earth... Did Stratt do what she promised... Do you know who I am? [Ryland had a lot of questions] okay... Before you answer any of those questions, the Eridians know you are here and will take care of your ship. I'll get you into the Biodome, okay? You'll be able to take the flight suit off

[hyacinth-7mission]

they nod, taking a deep breath before diving into answers.

"I do. You saved earth. I was a kid when the beetles came back, but I think something happened... I think i went through a wormhole or something.. one minute I was piloting around something, the next the clocks ticked back to before I should've been born.

Stratt did what she could, passed what she couldn't onto another scary lady.. I met her very breifly before... before she died. It was when I was starting training. God, you probably have just as many questions as i do.

Earth's great, or least it was when i was on it. You and Rocky did an amazing thing. I was one of the ones sent up to try and find the origin of the astrophage and.. and the disruption.."

they get quiet, thinking about something.

[project-amaze]

[Ryland titled his head] What? Do you have other crew with you or are you alone? [Ryland crouched down, the Xenonite suit is a bit stiff just like his joints] kiddo, what do you mean by the Disruption? And stratt is gone? Oh... Yeah I mean I have been gone for a long time earth time...

This is a roleplay the stratt that I interact with is still alive in this universe, this is just a roleplay

[hyacinth-7mission]

They pause, frowning slightly.

"They.. died... Tumor got them before they could wake up.. Its been a while since we got the videos. Stratt died about a year before I went into the coma. I think... I think I got sent back in time.

So technically, that would happen in the future.. Its so confusing.. The disruption is something coming from the direction the Astrophage came from and it might be the origin... it could make things worse again.."

They pause for a moment, then seem to figure something out.

"Gimme .. ehhh 20 minutes?"

They seem to move away from the microphone to do something. about 15 minutes later, something ejects from the ship to land on Erid. It lands near his dome, it's small and shaped like a tube with points on both ends.

A minute after it lands, they crawl out of one end in a space suit. they seem to be trying to figure out how to get into the dome.

[project-amaze]

[The planet of Erid is very far, you see a slightly human-like shape running towards the tube with a flashlight] Hello! Oh fudge, I haven't seen another human in a long time. Oh, right, the whole crushing atmosphere thing... Hold right where you are. [The figure would run back, and after a while, they would run back with an oddly shaped suit, kinda like the one they were wearing. Once he gets close enough, you see Ryland.] Here, put this on so the Eridian atmosphere doesn't crush you. [He hands you the Clear Xenonite suit]

[hyacinth-7mission]

They run over to him giggling.

"Oh man, you're real! Can i hug you? Wait i might crush you in this- its been so long since I've had a hug."

their suit seems to withstand the gravity of Erid with ease, but they smile at being given the suit.

[project-amaze]

Oh okay... Your suit can stand the crushing atmosphere... [He crouched down to look at the flight suit] I don't suggest taking your helmet off... How's earth... Did Stratt do what she promised... Do you know who I am? [Ryland had a lot of questions] okay... Before you answer any of those questions, the Eridians know you are here and will take care of your ship. I'll get you into the Biodome, okay? You'll be able to take the flight suit off

[hyacinth-7mission]

they nod, taking a deep breath before diving into answers.

"I do. You saved earth. I was a kid when the beetles came back, but I think something happened... I think i went through a wormhole or something.. one minute I was piloting around something, the next the clocks ticked back to before I should've been born.

Stratt did what she could, passed what she couldn't onto another scary lady.. I met her very breifly before... before she died. It was when I was starting training. God, you probably have just as many questions as i do.

Earth's great, or least it was when i was on it. You and Rocky did an amazing thing. I was one of the ones sent up to try and find the origin of the astrophage and.. and the disruption.."

they get quiet, thinking about something.

Another spacecraft is detected. It's oddly shaped and rather large, with letters on the outside spelling HYACINTH-7

It's definitely from Earth. Mary chimes in with "Hyacinth-7 detected." and switches to a transmission from the ship. The transmission starts as someone laughing, then they speak.

"Heya space cowboy, Hyacinth 7 crew here. You seem... alive.."

They start cry-laughing, happy and shocked, and finally having someone to talk to.

"You wanna come on over here and chat about what's happened aboard the Hail Mary? I got plenty of food and a lot more to say. It would be nice to hear someone talk again.."

@hyacinth-7mission

[Ryland heard it. He quickly got into his Clear Xenonite suit and ran to the Hail Mary. Flashlight in hand, he got to the control panel.] HELLO!? This is Captain Dr. Ryland Grace of the Hail Mary. You're from the Hyacinth-7? Are you able to land on Erid? I'll tell the Eridians that we need more Xenonite suits... Unless you have some sort of upgraded flight suits that allow you to not be crushed in Eridian atmosphere... I have so many questions... [He didn't know that there was only one person]

The last thing Grace was expecting on his trip with Rocky back to Erid was another spaceship, much less a human one. But, there it was. Pulling up with a very human sounding transmission just— inviting him over to talk.

Rocky was startled, and chirping excitedly, but Grace quickly quieted him and told him to hang out in the lab until everything is figured out. The Hyacinth-7 crew might not take to an alien very well.

Hurrying up to the control room, Grace turned off the auto drive, and went and fumbled for the radio. “—ah, is this.. on— yes! Okay, hello! This is the Hail Mary—! I was not expecting to hear another human being out here— hah—“ Grace managed out awkwardly.

“But, yes! Yes, I would very much like to come over to chat. Where’s… where’s your airlock?” Grace squinted out the window, latching himself into the pilot’s seat so he could bring the ship closer to the Hyacinth-7.

[hyacinth-7mission]

They're giggling on the other end of the transmission, like they just saw a friend after years apart.

"Let me send a thing over- I can already tell where yours is."

A blueprint of the ship is sent over. It's larger than the Hail Mary, but on the diagram, it shows the airlock. Before Grace can even respond, the ship does a complex almost ballerina-like maneuver to sync up their airlocks.

It spins as it passes over the Hail Mary, then flips over so what seems to be the front of the ship matches to the back of the Hail Mary.
