(no subject)

Who| Everyone
What| A chance for the teams to meet, mingle, and, lets be honest, for goodbyes to be said.
Where| The common area.
When| Evening before the attack, about a day after Creuntus' network announcement.
Warnings/Notes| Time is going to be a little more wonky then normal, if you haven't noticed. They will be going out to attack "tomorrow" but that thread will not, likely, be posted tomorrow, to give people time to play in this one, etc.

There is food and drink, plenty of it, but no decoration, and it is clear this "party" is no sort of celebration. There is the small spattering of Peacekeepers still in the Capitol, those not on duty at the edge of the boundary.

A long table at the front has a set up for each team. Everyone has a folder with who is in their team, who is watching their team, a list of the various weapons they will have. On the list is a flame thrower, a handful of small explosives, and an automatic weapon for each team member. There are no weapons laid out for the Tributes to handle, however - those were waiting for them elsewhere, for when the mission truly started. Nor does the folder mention that the weapons all switch off outside of the combat area, but it's also not a secret, or a surprise.

Each folder also includes the rather useless stats and images they have of the creatures-the photos are blurry, the stats mainly stack up to "they are very deadly" and a collection of the various bits of information put forth by other tributes who seem to know more then the Capitol. Last, a detailed map of both the neighborhood, and the tunnels for them to study.

Another table has folders for the intel, with much of the same information. Last, a third table is set up for those that are staying at home. Those folders contain some basic first aid information, and a list with what sort of basic medical supplies and food stuff is in the training center.

Each table set up has an Avox or two to hand out the folders. Creuntus is no where to be seen, and you would be lucky to catch any of her team. She knows where she doesn't want to be. The furniture has been dragged to facilitate the conversation of small to medium sized groups. Say, about the size of a team and their Intel.

A biotic? He would press her for details later. At the very least, this meant that the Commander would accept his explanation without thinking him a senile old man. "I see. Though there were no other species with special abilities in my world, the humans shared a variety of mental powers," Sigma explains. "And I was one of the strongest espers on earth."

It is not boasting. In fact, the Doctor says it with a certain degree of self-loathing.

"In short, my powers in particular involve the manipulation of time. Though time travel is far too potent and often too deadly to put to good use here, I have a second precognitive ability that allows me to witness a near future... where someone has died or been mortally wounded," he finished darkly.

"You're telling me that you can see the future?"

She's not incredulous; most people would be. But she's led an interesting life. At this point, a little time travel would just about put the cherry on top of all the rest. At the least, Doctor Sigma had nothing to fear from her; Shepard had no time for prejudice and even less, these days, for philosophy.

"Cut to the chase, Doc," Direct action has always been her first language, "How does this help us?"

"That is correct, in a sense. Think of it more as one of many possible futures." For a Doctor who had always been long winded by nature, this was cutting to the chase, but he speeds up his explanation as necessary.

"If we are headed towards a time where one of us will be killed by the Xenomorphs, I should be able to detect it... and tell you how to stop it. This will therefore allow us to know ahead of time what plans will not work, as well as reduce the number of casualties."
